Consultations and first visits reviews.

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 had a consultation regarding surgical options for cervical radiculopathy. Everything was excellent all the way around, from the beautiful modern office, friendly attentive staff, and the clearly outlined options and recommendation from the highly skilled Dr Bhalla. Thank you all!

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.

He and his staff are wonderful! Lovely office, charming'well-educated staff, Dr.bhalla is a brilliant surgeon and a wonderful guy. Very unusual combination! None of the typical arrogance. Has his own x-ray machine in his office, refers out for more sophisticated needs, isn't afraid to ask for consultations, shows you your x-rays and explains everything. What else could I ask for?!

I cannot recommend Dr. Amandeep Bhalla highly enough! From my first consultation in 2018 to post-surgical care in 2020, he demonstrated exceptional expertise, professionalism, and compassion. Now in 2025 I am facing new obstacles that I am certain he will guide me through. Dr. Bhalla takes the time to explain my condition and treatment options thoroughly, ensuring I feel confident in my care plan. Dr. Bhalla's dedication to patient-centered care is evident in his approach--he listens, educates, and involves you in the decision-making process. His use of advanced, minimally invasive techniques made my procedure smoother than I ever expected, and my recovery was outstanding. Beyond his surgical skill, Dr. Bhalla is kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in his patients' well-being. I have to give a shout out to his Office Manager Ronnie T. She is a bright star, kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in the patients' well-being. I initially met her hen he was Dr.. Bhalla's Nurse. The office staff, including Khalil the X-Ray Tech, are very friendly and you are made to feel like you stepped into a friend's home. There is also an abundance of FREE parking! I am incredibly grateful for Dr. Bhalla and his expertise and I highly recommend him to anyone in need of top-tier spinal care.

I am returning to see Dr Bhalla at his new office. He accomplished a successful surgery on my lower back 3 years. He delivered exactly on his prognosis and expected outcome. I am returning on another issue unrelated to the first. This is my first visit to this new practice. It is well managed, and I was able to see a couple of friendly faces. I highly recommend Dr Bhalla and his practice.

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

I hate doctors, but I like this one. His demeanor is calm and professional but without being uptight. I only saw him for a consultation to go to physical therapy so it was a short visit but so far I'm happy.

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.
