He is warm personable and has terrific bedside manner. Thoughtful and treats us like family. We appreciate that he doesn’t act god like as many surgeons do. He is a regular guy and we enjoy seeing him and believe he will help us to feel better. A. Kahan

Update: Dr. Bhalla performed spine surgery on me on December 38, 2020. Prior to the surgery he came to my bedside and explained what would be entailed in my surgery. I had a lumbar laminectomy L3-L5, instrumented fusion L4-L5, fluoroscopy, allograft ad autograft. He also performed Sciatic joint fusion on me on Dec 19, 2019…Two rods and 7 screws later I am relatively pain free! He is friendly, compassionate and allays my fears prior to the start of any procedure. After the laminectomy, I saw him in the hospital the next morning at 6:45 am! There he was asking if the pain had subsided and it had. Post operative care provided more of the same compassion and general concern for my wellbeing. I have referred many of my friends, family and associates to Dr. Amandeep Bhalla. While I have so much care and admiration for Dr. Bhalla, I would also like to give a 5 star rating to his Nurse. Ronnie is a Breath of fresh air! She is kind, friendly and compassionate. She puts puts you at ease prior to seeing Dr. Bhalla. I have found that I can get an appointment quickly and once you check in for the appointment, Ronnie calls you in quickly and Dr. Bhalla sees you very quick. It is a very well run office. I was referred to Dr. Bhalla for lower back/sciatic pain. He is friendly, courteous and provides a thorough explanation of my problems as gleaned from the MRI. He assisted me in putting aside my fears of an epidural. On the day of my procedure, he came to see me prior to starting and I was greeted with a warm smile. I would like to also give kudos to his Physician Assistant, Mykeal. They are both young medical professionals who strive to make their patients feel at ease through discussion and information. The entire staff of Dr. Bhalla’s office (Corinne the Scheduler), Yvette (his Nurse), and the staff at the Surgery Center should be commended for fast, courteous and friendly interactions with their patients.

Dr Lee listens carefully and is extremely knowledgeable. He is caring, kind and honest. He does not push surgery unless needed and looks for alternatives when possible.

It is my great pleasure to give Dr Sanjay Khurana a five star rating. I am a retired surgeon that suffered a catastrophic disc rupture with 16 by 9 mm extrusion that broke off L2/3 and entered my spinal canal. The diagnosis was complicated by prior back issues and a recent post motor vehicle accident MRI that was unremarkable. The accident was in June and MRI was in July and by September the pain was debilitating and under pain management I was taking methadone and OxyContin like candy. Short story a renowned Spine surgeon based on the July MRI diagnosed Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome. WRONG. Referred to Dr Khurana for a second opinion who did a long and compassionate examination and ordered a new MRI that revealed the monster fragment. Dr Khurana , broke his schedule and operated on me within 3 days as emergency. With in a week post op I was opioid free. Dr Khurana is a brilliant diagnostician,skillful surgeon , and remarkable human being. I am , four years later , enjoying Dr ASG PS I am 71 year old and do not Yelp. Hence I used my wife's account for this Yelp . Thanks dear!

The Team of Dr. Garabekyan and his Medical Assistant Zohra are like no other. I was in denial of the seriousness of my hip pain. He was highly recommended by a friend. During my initial visit Dr. Garabekyan spent time explaining what was causing my hip pain and provided clarification of treatment options. We both knew that this would be a surgical case. He was patient enough with me to work on my schedule and not push surgery until I had time off from work. Now to Zohra, she is amazing! Had multiple issues with my insurance company approving imaging and the actual surgery, but she worked thoroughly to get everything approved in time. I am now almost two-months post-op and OMG wish I had heard of Dr. Garabekyan years ago. I no longer have pain in my hip! He's a godsend!!! Not to mention his work ethic, bedside manner, and how much he truly cares for each patient. 10/10 would highly recommend to anyone having issues with their hips

It was my first time to be examined by Dr David Lee. I found him very professional, caring and left with full understanding of my medical problem. Virtually no wait time. I will Definitely refer anyone with foot pain to Dr. David Lee.

David Lee, MD

After a really terrible experience at a hospital, Dr. Lee took on my case when nobody else would. I could not be more grateful. He has been attentive to all of my needs, discussing all options available to me, and ultimately leaves all medical decision making up to me, while providing guidance and compassion. I thank my lucky stars that Dr. Lee chose to help me with a very complex and rare injury.

Dr. Wassef is AMAZING! He is so kind and caring, I’ve never meet a Dr like him. His whole team is the BEST! I feel so blessed that I was able to have him do my hip revision. He did a fantastic job, much much better than I had expected. I had my first hip replacement done 4 months prior at Hoag Hospital, it dislocated twice after 4 months of healing and PT. Nightmare!! But I found Dr Wassef and now I have confidence that I will have my active life back. I can’t thank Him enough!!!

Andrew Wassef, MD

There are few doctors who can come close to the compassionate care Amandeep Bhalla gives to his patients. His skills as a surgeon are vast and his powers of care and communication continue to shine. More, all of this is underscored by the respect his fellows hold for him and by the joy the people who work for and with him exhibit. Recommending him is an honor.

Amandeep Bhalla, MD

I have been Dr. Bhalla's patient since 2019 when he performed spine surgery at Memorial Hospital. Dr. Bhalla was very thorough with testing, physical therapy and consultations before my surgery which was a success. I highly recommend Dr. Bhalla. The Staff also very kind and caring.

Amandeep Bhalla, MD

Dr. Bhallah is caring and doesn't rush you, he takes his time with you. He is also a very smart guy...I did my research. I have the harrington rods in my spine from 20 yrs ago and now needed more hardware from l5-to s1 to repair some stenosis... im glad he is young so that he can last me a long time.

Amandeep Bhalla, MD

Dr. Bhalla is such a thorough, skilled and knowledgeable Doctor! I feel so fortunate to have found him. He has the nicest, most patient, caring and calming personality. He truly not only is an exceptional surgeon but he knows how to effectively communicate with his patients. We need more Doctors like him!!! I would give him 10 stars if that was an option! Thank you Dr. Bhalla!!

Wonderful experience with Cedar Sinai. Dr. Leonel Hunt was a wonderful surgeon, and the staff was always helpful and kind. They ensured my father had a smooth prep, surgery, and follow-up. I am so glad we chose Dr. Hunt and would highly recommend him to anyone. My father is feeling better after the surgery and I am grateful that he did the surgery for my father!

Leonel Hunt, MD

Dr. Bhalla is fantastic. I trust him and his expertise. Between cervical fusion and lumbar issues, he is caring, kind and always lovely to talk too.

Dr. Millstein is professional, knowledgeable and has great bedside manner. He makes it a point to make you feel comfortable and is extremely open about specifics to your treatment.

Eric S. Millstein, MD

I was referred to Dr. Millstein from my internist / rheumatologist Dr Susan A. Baker...I had been having shoulder pain for 6-8 months from carrying cameras as a photographer on set for tv and movies...by the time I finally decided to see a doctor about my shoulder I was referred to Dr. Millstein...To say he’s excellent, kind, thorough and incredibly clear about what this issue is with your body is an understatement...he has a fantastic bed side manner and he took great care of me (and he has a wonderful dry wit)...Can’t recommend him enough!

Eric S. Millstein, MD

Brought my Mom here today because she injured her shoulder! This guy (Dr. Millstein) was so friendly and Warm!!!! Felt like a friend of the family! His staff friendly too! Offered us water while we waited. My 86 year old Mom said “he must be from the old school” bedside manner. Bedside manner is a lost art, but he captured it completely! Thanks so much!!

Eric S. Millstein, MD

Dr.bhalla is very caring with his patience. One of the best doctors I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. I would highly recommend.

Amandeep Bhalla, MD

Amazing Doctor & staff, very professional and caring just exactly what I needed after an ankle fracture. They took care of me and made me feel at ease.

Christopher Combs, MD

Dr Bhalla is very professional, kind , patient and expert in his field.

Amandeep Bhalla, MD

I would highly recommend Dr. Bhalla for any concerns relating to back pain or injury. I had been having pain for several months that physical therapy could not relieve and that it seemed could not be diagnosed. Dr. Bhalla was able to diagnose the issues and perform a successful surgery that removed a cyst and alleviated pain from vertebrae. Additionally, his interaction with patients and family members is exemplary; he is patient with questions, compassionate, and takes the time to explain and understand patient concerns.

Amandeep Bhalla, MD
