Dr. Bhalla is a warm and kind surgeon of great skill. Returning for an appointment after a few years, the new office is inviting, spotless and comfortable. And free parking! Moreover, the entire appointment was efficient (on time!) , well-organized and thorough. The staff were all friendly and professional. It was a great experience.

Dr. Bhalla was kind, listened to my concerns, and explained the current issues and the next steps involving my treatment . The front desk staff was friendly, and I only waited 10 minutes past my appointment time. Great experience overall!”

Dr. Bhalla is great! I've had back issues and intermittent pain throughout my adult years. Whenever it got intolerable I resorted to acupuncture and/or chiropractic care and on a few occasions epidurals. Someone cutting on my back was not anything I was receptive to. When sciatic episodes became more frequent and longer lasting and I was forced to postpone scheduled knee replacement surgery I reluctantly decided to again consult an orthopedic surgeon. After initial consultation, x-rays and MRI I had follow up appointment with Dr. Bhalla to discuss options. He recommended surgery. Still reluctant to go that route I opted for another try with an epidural, but to to no avail. Back to Dr. Bhalla who told me the problems were going to continue to get worse so at age 73 I finally agreed to surgery. Lower lumber fusion surgery was performed at Long Beach Memorial Hospital by Dr. Bhalla and Dr. Rao (vascular surgeon). Anterior Lumber Interbody Fusion (ALIF) and laminectomy surgeries were performed on Monday and Thursday of the same week. The week in the hospital (overall very good care and treatment) and first 2 weeks at home I experienced moderate pain and discomfort but nothing intolerable. After 2 weeks of light rehab at home I started physical therapy program. After several weeks of PT my back felt really good. It has been nearly one year since the surgery and other than minimal discomfort during the initial recovery period I have experienced no back pain! From the initial consultation through the post-op visits Dr. Bhalla thoroughly explained all the options, the details of the surgical procedure, the recovery and rehabilitation process and patiently answered all my questions. Dr. Bhalla is a compassionate and highly skilled physician and surgeon! And, kudos to his very competent and kind office staff. While back surgery is a last resort, if there is no other viable way to address your pain and problems Dr. Bhalla is the surgeon for you.

I was able to get in with Dr Bhalla right away. His office staff is friendly and very competent. Dr Bhalla is a true gem. He has great bedside manner and took his time explaining everything and got me scheduled for surgery in less than a week!! It is hard to find good doctors so if you need a spine surgeon try Dr Bhalla. I will update this after surgery. ❤️

As a retired nursing professor, Dr. Bhalla was my first and only choice. His reputation is flawless. Not only is he an excellent physician, but he also Kind, Approachable, professional and takes the time to listen to the patient. In addition, it was a pleasant experience with the office staff and Ronnie the office manager. The whole atmosphere in the office reminded me of the good old days when physicians and staff we’re happy to see you

This was a first visit. I brought along disks, as requested, of a previous MRI and CT scan. I was also x-rated during my visit. The staff were extremely kind and helpful. Dr. Bhalla asked directed questions and put me through movements to diagnose my issues. He also was very kind and polite.
