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.

Staff is wonderful as well, Marineh was always so helpful. Had cervical disc replacement, 2 levels, and I'm about 16 months out now and doing great. Easy recovery especially compared to other procedures I've had. Dr. Khurana has more of a conservative approach which I appreciate, but he also has the knowledge to know when something will do better with surgery. His bedside manner is wonderful which isn't always the case with surgeons, and he takes his time to explain things thoroughly. Thanks Dr. K and team! A.
