I suddenly had severe hip pain last summer and did imaging. There were multiple problems in my hip joint which were severe ; there was also congenital muscle abnormalities. I met Dr. Ramkumar at Winter break while visiting family. I knew immediately after meeting him , and reviewing his credentials and reviews he would be the best choice to perform my surgery., his surgical expertise, knowledge, empathy, and bedside manner are excellent. Now at 7 weeks post-op I am walking long distances and attending physical therapy and I am pain free-a new lease on life. His nurse practitioner Margo was also super helpful along the way. Hands down an excellent orthopedic surgeon. P.

My dad was struggling with severe hip pain, and we were anxious about his hip replacement. Dr. Ramkumar treated him with remarkable compassion and patience, thoroughly explaining every step to put us at ease. They used advanced Mako robotic-assisted surgery, which was incredibly precise and minimally invasive, enabling my dad to walk the very next day—a fantastic result! Dr. Ramkumar took the time to personally call me, his son, right after the surgery to reassure me that everything went perfectly, which was a huge relief and meant so much during such a nerve-wracking moment. The hospital staff was equally kind and professional, making the entire experience seamless. The pain my dad was experiencing before the surgery is gone and now enjoying life again, and he cannot be happier with the outcome. The team’s follow-up care was outstanding, ensuring his recovery was smooth. Thank you, Dr. Ramkumar, for giving my dad a new lease on life! I highly recommend Dr. Ramkumar to anyone needing hip surgery.” Top Tier, best of the best.

I have been seeing Dr Khurana over the past 5 years and he’s truly incredible and one of a kind. Why aren’t more doctors like him? I found him bc many of my friends are Drs in La and all said he is hands down the best spine person to see in La if not the country. Also amazing responsiveness and patient communication / care. Makes you feel like a VIP and that you are in confident caring and expert hands. If you are like me and nervous or anxious about seeing a Dr for your back he will put your mind at ease and help you find the best path forward for you (even if that doesn’t mean an operation). Do yourself a favor, go no further, set up an appt with him if you’re even remotely thinking about it. You have found your pro! N.

He took the time to explain every option available to me, answering anll my questions, and immediately gave me confidence in his care. > > His entire support team deserves recognition. His Nurse Practitioner was attentive and reassuring throughout the process.
