Pain experiences reviews

I recently underwent a hip resurfacing procedure performed by Dr. Ramkumar, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. From the initial consultation to post-operative care, Dr. Ramkumar took the time to thoroughly explain the hip resurfacing procedure, addressing all my concerns and ensuring I felt confident in the decision to move forward. The surgery itself was a success, and the pain relief I now experience is beyond what I had hoped for. The post-operative care provided by Dr. Ramkumar and his team is exceptional. They monitored my recovery closely, providing clear instructions for rehabilitation exercises and ensuring I had all the necessary support during my recovery period. I highly recommend Dr. Ramkumar to anyone seeking a skilled and caring orthopedic surgeon for hip resurfacing. I am grateful for the positive impact the doctor has had on my life through this transformative procedure.

I had one level herniated disc surgery with Dr Khurana in 2010 and the results were.excellent. In 2023 I developed spinal stenosis on two levels in my lower back. I went the route of physical therapy, steroid shots, to no avail. I had the stenosis surgery in November 2023 with Dr Khurana. The results far exceeded my expectations. No more pain and no more trouble walking---and I had a lot of each. Quite amazing actually.

I’ve had two surgeries with Dr. Khurana and cannot say enough good things about him, his staff, the facility, everything. When confronted with a lot of pain, I just wanted a compassionate, thoughtful, knowledgeable person to help me. Dr. Khurana and his staff are it. I honestly don’t see how an experience could be any better.

I am adding this note on 11/2023. Surgery 8/15/2019. Very severe degenerative disc disease. I am a trauma RN of 35 years. Surgical presentation serious. Sobering reality that I would wake up quadriplegic and never taking a voluntary breath (vs mechanical ventilation) paraplegia, even quadriplegia was a sobering possibility. Following my spine you referred mt Dr Kolahi, he’s an amazing hand surgeon. After bilateral CTR. I am pain free. Minimal R delt numbness - you da best! This guy will always have my back! ( there IS double crush, I’m walking proof. Put that in your fellowship!)

I had a partial knee replacement surgery on 10/16/2023. My recovery is amazing. Today (2 and a half weeks post-op, I am able to do 100% weight bearing on my surgical leg. I had minimal bruising post-op and pain was manageable. Along the way, Dr. Ramkumar was there and easily accessible via text messages. He is extremely attentive to my needs. When he advised me to consider partial knee vs. Total knee, he explained the logic for his recommendation. I respected his opinion and I am vey happy with the outcome. He's extremely knowledgeable, very tech savvy and has excellent bedside manner. I am certain he will treat all his patients with love and grace. Thank you Dr. Prem Ramkumar!

Dr. Ramkumar is a great doctor! The first time we met Dr. Ramkumar, he was very hands on. He took the time to walk me back to get an X-ray and spent time explaining my unique condition and what he will do to help relieve my pain I had for years. He helped coordinate my surgery from start to finish and he would call to update me on every step… all prescriptions was called in. Also, my concerns about having surgery in the hospital instead of outpatient was important because of my medical history and he was instrumental in making sure my surgery was scheduled as an inpatient procedure. The day of surgery he came in early to explain all the details of my procedure and what to expect after the procedure was done. After surgery he updated my family and he took the time to answer any and all questions and showed pictures of before and after surgery, which was 100% better than what I was dealing with for years. Even after a long day of doing other patients surgeries he took the time to come visit me before he left for the day. The next day after my surgery he came and spoke to PT and told them exactly what type of therapy exercises he wanted. He even got on the ground to demonstrate the exercises. He made arrangements for me to continue physical therapy after I was discharged, so I didn’t have to worry. He made himself available all hours of the day calling to check on me or a text. If I text him he would respond right away or call.

I'm very happy with my back surgery & follow-up treatment with Dr. Bhalla. The surgery was scheduled very promptly, it went well & I had remarkably little pain. Dr. Bhalla & his PA are responsive, informative & calm. I highly recommend him.

In July, 2023, Dr Bhalla referred me to Dr Karp for injections for my spinal stenosis pain. This was my 4th injection. The last 3 were not successful. Dr Karp did the procedure on Aug 25, 2023. The pain has lessened a lot. For the first time in 2 years I have days with no pain in my right buttock and leg when walking. Other days pain level is 2/3. I still cannot stand for any length of time. I experience pain when standing which is relieved by sitting. I use a cane and walker at home and a rollator when going to medical appointments.

Dr. Millstein is very caring, patient and knowledgeable. A true expert in his field. He explained in detail the source of my knee pain that was coming from my hip. He gave me an injection and delivered treatment options with clarity. I highly recommend him to anyone who suffers with knee, hip and back pain.

Dr Khurana did an amazing job with my XLIF fusion on L4-5. I am at least 1/2 taller.and feels like I have a new back! The fusion is probably solid after only 3 & 1/2 months from surgery. I don't really need PT anymore, can bend without pain and I'm good to go with all activities...yoga, tennis, etc. I highly recommend Dr Khurana to anyone needing back surgery.

Dr Khurana performed L4/5 stenosis laser surgery 8 years ago with unbelievable results. Now my issues are with disc herniation. Dr. Khurana is not one to offer up surgery as a 1st option. Twice over the past 2 years he’s recommended a more cautioned approach & has referred a pain management Dr. who will provide steroid shots & or an epidural steroid injection in the troubled discs. If they fail to provide necessary relief then alternate options will be considered. Dr. Khurana is not only one of the best in LA he is one of the best in the world.

Dr. Millstein and his staff are amazing. They really understand how to treat a patient. I've had my knee replaced and am back on the Tennis Courts beating people half my age. Dr. Millstein did an amazing job. He starts with best non invasive approach to help including physical therapy and then suggest other treatments only as needed. If you need a cortisone injection Dr. Millstein is the best at hitting the ‘right spot.’ Everyone there is very organized, I’ve never waited long. I’m very happy with their treatment and would recommend them to anyone having Orthopedic issues and pain.

Dr. Garabekyan is the best. He's helped heal me in ways unimaginable. I never realized how much pain I truly was in my whole life living with hip dysplasia until I had the corrective surgery. Everyday activities such as walking up and down stairs are now so achievable when before it felt so exhausting. I can't even begin to thank Dr. Garabekyan enough for making me love working out again. Hiking and long walks are now some of my favorite activities when before I was known to hate these things. I feel reborn as if I never truly understood what life was like without the bother of the clicking bones I had prior. Thank you so much Dr. Garabekyan!

I have had numerous spine issues and Dr. Khurana has operated on my spine every time. Dr. Khurana and his staff are really excellent in the care they have given me. A special shout-out to his Surgical Coordinator Jessica Gomez who always answers her phone and thoroughly answers my many questions. Dr. Khurana is an excellent surgeon that really cares, I highly recommend him and his top notch team. As a side note, at both my 3 month and 6 month follow up appointments there is no pain at all. Recent August 2023 edit: Also, it’s been a year now without pain and I feel terrific. So no more appointments are scheduled. Dr. Khurana said to call for an appointment only if needed. Truly a great caring surgeon.

Sanjay Khurana, MD

Everyone in the office is very helpful and professional. Dr. Millstein is just the best. He performed a reversed shoulder replacement on my right shoulder 3 months ago and I have no pain. Still in therapy for range of motion and strengthening. So happy and thankful with the results.

Eric S. Millstein, MD

Very impressed at my first visit with the doctors understanding of my pain and my spine and how he wishes to treat both.

Sanjay Khurana, MD

Dr Khurana is a brilliant surgeon always on top of the latest techniques and minimally invasive procedures….and he is an incredibly caring and kind human, as well ! After 2 super successful spine surgeries in 2014 with Dr Khurana, there was no doubt he was my go-to for some new back pain I was experiencing recently. There is no other spine surgeon I trust more. Dr Khurana reviewed my new MRIs with me and patiently consulted with me on his thoughts for next steps . He is the most professional, kind and surgeon and I cannot recommend him more highly. No matter where I live, I will always come back to Dr Khurana for any/all spine procedures!

Sanjay Khurana, MD

Your quick attn to me was priceless! I’m still smiling about it! Ronnie made my experience golden! I can’t speak highly enough of her! Pain mgmt..not happy with!

Amandeep Bhalla, MD

Dr. Bhalla is the best doctor I have ever had...period. He fixed me up and had me out of pain in a flash. I knew he would because he's done it before. He is kind and compassionate, always listens and has time for his patients. If he is your doctor, you are indeed a fortunate person. His nurse Ronnie is fabulous, kind and very efficient as well.
