I someb managed to mess up my back pretty bad Memorial Day weekend. I contacted dr Bhalla's office on a Tuesday morning and got an appointment for the next day. He scheduled me for a MRI on Thursday. Got results Friday morning and the GOOD doctor said I needed surgery. My pain level on a 1-10 scale was approximately 17! He got his team together and managed to get me into the hospital that afternoon and performed surgery at 6:00AM the following day. When I recovered from the anesthetic the pain was gone. It's important to note the he had things on his agenda that took him out of the country but that did not stop him from making a follow up call to assure all was well. He also arranged for my release the next day. I'm grateful to have had a skilled and caring doctor. Hopefully I won't need his surgical skills in the future. Well, I had another problem with my lower back that required the GOOD doctor do another surgery in January. As hoped and believed, it had great results. I just left his office about 20 minutes ago for a follow up check and ALL IS WELL!! Thanx again!!

This is a top notch diagnostician, physician, surgeon. His manner is kind, un-rushed and he listens. He also knows his stuff. I am a professional musician and had I not sought treatment it's possible I might have lost significant dexterity. As it turned out, the surgery was a tremendous success and I have renewed dexterity at the keyboard, especially with my left hand (the one with the most noticeable decline) which has lifted a huge worry and put me back in my game with new speed. He has a kind and gentle spirit. By the way, even at his younger age, I am of the understanding that he presents at medical conferences. His credentials are impressive. I am grateful that not only did I not permanently lose my ability to play, I regained what I had lost.

Amazing, caring doctor! Took my 85 year old father to him after our primary doctor referred us. My father had suffered a complete collapse of his T-7 and compression on the spinal cord from a previous car accident and I was extremely nervous about the major surgery he was about to undergo to reinforce his spine. Dr. Bhalla calmed my fears and did an excellent job with the 2 rods and 12 screws he put in his back. This surgery saved my dad from becoming completely paralyzed. Very grateful to Dr. Bhalla!

I want to give him a shout out because the surgery was successful, when I met this young handsome, professional, kind surgeon I fell in love with his people skills, his knowledge of my medical situation and his divine spirit.

I LOVE YOU DR. BHALLAH.

I went to Dr. Bhalla because of nerve pain resulting from bulging disks. He was honest with me about my options moving forward after trying steroids & PT. He didn't pressure me into surgery, but gave me real options. I'm so grateful I trusted his experience and knowledge because I'm now pain free and feeling great! He is always kind and sincere and greets me with a warm smile. The care and concern for his patients is evident in his demeanor. I will forever be grateful for how he helped me. Thank you, Dr. Bhalla! You're the best!

Dr. Bhalla is the BEST! He's kind and sincere and makes you feel like you're his only patient. No pressure to have surgery, just wants people to feel better. He gave me options and I'm so grateful I chose surgery (ACDF) - pain free and feeling great! Thanks Dr. Bhalla!

Although nobody ever wants to have surgery, especially on their neck. I had a 2 level fusion C5-C7 in October of 2018. I could not be more happier than I am today. Dr. Bhalla, is truly the best spine surgeon around!!! His knowledge of the spine, skills, bedside manner, respect, and concern for his patients is above and beyond! I would recommend him to ANYBODY!!! Thank you Dr. Bhalla for everything!

Dr Bhalla is a life saver! I had been suffering from debilitating and extremely painful sciatica for well over a year only to have that culminated in the need for a discectomy. Dr. Bhalla was gentle, kind, validating and easy to speak with, totally contrary to the stereotype of a narcissistic surgeon. The surgery was literally an instant cure to my pain, recovery was minimal. No complaints and I can't speak highly enough about my experience. I am so very grateful to Dr. Bhalla!

Dr. Bhalla is a wonderful specialist! For over five months, I had been dealing with almost constant pain from a bulging disc. My primary physician tried oral steroids . . .sent me for weeks of physical therapy. . .and I worked out responsibly on my own. After no lasting improvement, my primary physician referred me to Dr. Bhalla, claiming that he was the best spinal specialist in Long Beach. I met with him and immediately like him. . . very friendly manner, easy going, caring, compassionate, an expert who provided clear, simple suggestions. First, we went the epidural route. I experienced about 10 days of relief then after holiday travel (cross country), some long car rides, and over-extending myself through exercise, I was down again. . .more pain than ever. As the last resort, Dr. Bhalla performed a lumbar discectomy on Jan. 8. He explained everything in a reassuring manner, of course, not guaranteeing optimal results. However, he was positive that I would experience relief, stating that he had very good success rates. In short, after the operation, I had no more pain in my butt and left leg. (My bulging disc had been pinching the nerves going down my left rear end and leg.) I still have some numbness in my feet and toes, but I expect this to improve. Certainly, I was very well prepared for this surgery after going through over five months of alternative treatment. Plus, I am in very good shape for a 63-year-old man. However, Dr. Bhalla's positive, confident, caring attitude helped greatly! I would highly recommend him. . .the best ever!

I don't even know where to start. From the first appointment to the end of surgery and post-op care, Dr. Bhalla and his entire staff where wonderful. Dr. Bhalla is an amazing surgeon. My Lumbar stabilization and Fusion was done so beautifully that I could tell that the pain was gone immediately after the surgery. I had total support throughout my recovery. The doctor and his staff where all compassionate and gave me the time I needed for questions. I was treated with respect throughout the entire process. The Spinal Section at Memorial Hospital in Long Beach was also great. I am deeply grateful for my care and the successful result.

I've been a patient of Dr. Bhalla for a little under a year and am absolutely astounded by the level of care and professionalism demonstrated by Dr. Bhalla and his executive assistant Tyra Joseph. I've had the misfortune of dealing with dozens of medical professionals and facilities and generally speaking, my experience has been frustrating to say the least. The reasons for this are usually related to unprofessional communication, lack of follow-through, lack of empathy and emotional intelligence, and an overall sense of being treated like a problem to be solved as quickly as possible. Dr. Bhalla and Tyra have given me the opposite experience. I feel cared for and listened to. Just recently my disc herniation symptoms worsened and instead of hurrying to finish with me, Dr. Bhalla sat down and listened to my lifestyle concerns, hearing me out before suggesting that he write a recommendation to my employer that will (hopefully) help me achieve a more sustainable recovery plan and short-term remedial lifestyle. Tyra carried this out with quick responses and a genuine sense of accommodation and understanding, empathizing with the fact that my quality of life is suffering and offering to help to the fullest extent that she can by working with my employer's HR representative. I feel genuinely cared for by this team and given how rare that is, I want to write in with a sincere expression of gratitude and acknowledgement as this level of service is far beyond what the norm has become.

Dr Bhalla is a rare find - a surgeon that only suggests surgery as the last option after therapy and other ways to relieve pain and restore mobility don't improve life. After two careful consultations, we decided on surgery to relieve pain and diminishing motor control. Dr Bhalla spent the time needed to rebuild my diseased neck; he was the first person to visit me in the hospital the morning after my surgery; and he has been there every step of the way in my recovery. I highly recommend this skilled, compassionate individual.

Dr. Bhalla is a wonderful and talented surgeon who cares about his patients. He performed spine surgery on my daughter and it was a success. His team is a group of caring and dedicated people. I highly recommend him.

I highly recommend Dr. Bhalla for any 'spine' issue that causes any amount of pain. His bedside manner is much, much better than most doctor's that I know...definitely a '5' star review...!
