Pain experiences reviews

Thank you Dr Bae and Bernadette for the best experience I could have possibly had having lower back surgery . You and your staff were so kind and made me feel very comfortable and heard ! Thank you for getting me back to being able to walk again without pain ! The pre-operative care and after care I received was by far the best I’ve ever experienced ,and it was truly a miracle I found this clinic ! I can’t thank you enough wishing you and everyone there a very happy new year !

Everything is just next level and the people are all experts and I went from extreme pain levels to no pain. I am 10 1/2 weeks post surgery extremely happy.

I had PRP to treat knee pain and it was gone after one treatment!

Extremely responsive doctor stayed later to help me. I was not on his schedule but because I wasn't a lot of pain he stayed and did the procedure to make me feel better

I had a hip surgery scheduled and it was canceled due to some severe pain in my neck Dr. Bhalla was one of the few spinal surgeons available. The receptionist and all of his staff were very courteous and professional in regards to my appointment. One could not accept any better service. Thank you

I was dealing with hip pain for over a year and had tried PT and other forms of therapy to relieve the pain none of which worked. Dr. Ramkumar, after listening to my story and everything I had tried so far, immediately recommended and planned for my surgery and utilized my workup so far such that I did not have to redo any major imaging. The surgery was quick and I felt a night and day difference in my hip pain. Dr. Ramkumar was also super accessible, answering any and every question I had from pre-op to post-op and I would recommend him to anyone looking for comprehensive orthopedic care!

I have been a patient for the past many years having been treated for a variety of back issues all requiring surgery and pain management. I have had the good fortune to be treated by Dr. Robert Bray and Dr Michael Port. More recently Dr Port saw me related to pain management, all is going according to plan. Over the many years interacting with physicians and staff from intake throughout the process and discharge, all was executed with the outmost patient care and professionalism. With Gratitude, Arny Porath

I can’t say enough great things about Dr. Ramkumar and his entire team! From my very first appointment through surgery and recovery, I was in great hands and felt truly cared for. Not only is Dr. Ramkumar meticulous and skilled with the actual surgery, he and his team are kind, professional, knowledgeable, and experienced in all that they do. I couldn’t ask for a better surgical team! They took the time to explain everything and made me feel confident every step of the way. They were responsive and thorough when I had any questions or concerns - you can tell they genuinely care about their patients. I initially injured my knee in January and had two subsequent injuries before I finally got an MRI in July that confirmed a full ACL tear. I had done a number on my knee. I was beginning to feel defeated because I am a pretty active person and wasn’t able to do the activities that I love, like CrossFit and volleyball. Once I met with Dr. Ramkumar, I immediately knew he was the surgeon for me. He empathized with my concerns of wanting to get back to my active lifestyle, gave me hope that I would be able to get back to it, and built my confidence in getting the surgery. My full ACL repair (BTB patellar graft) and meniscus root repair went smoothly and my recovery has been going amazingly so far. I’m already feeling stronger just 4 months post op and am so excited to eventually get back to my pre op activity levels. Many people are amazed by my progress! The pain was minimal even immediately after surgery, which was a pleasant surprise. Choosing Dr. Ramkumar was one of the best decisions I could have made and I would 100% recommend him to anyone needing orthopedic care, especially athletes.

Just so happened to stumble upon this clinic and get scheduled with the soonest available appointment and it was with Dr Ramkumar, I am so blessed. Being an athlete, I was training for a half marathon when my knees didn’t feel right..shortly thereafter my pain transferred to my hip, resulting in the diagnosis of a bilateral hip impingement, Dr Ramkumar’s expertise. Surgery has always been my last resort, but once Dr Ramkumar went over the explanation clearly and concisely, I felt that I was in good hands and immediately decided to pursue with the arthroscopic surgery. He explained my diagnosis in simple human terms that allowed it easy to understand and made sure all of my questions were answered. I was honestly amazed by how smoothly everything went and how quickly I healed, which truly speaks to his precision and skill in the operating room. Beyond being an incredibly talented surgeon, Dr. Ramkumar is also such a light-hearted, kind human who genuinely cares about his patients as people, not just cases. He took the time to listen to my story, understand my goals as an athlete, and support me every step of the way. He is such a caring surgeon, if not the most caring surgeon I’ve had, from pre-op to post op appointments, it’s always a joy to be in his clinic.

I had a total knee replacement with Dr. Prem Ramkumar two weeks ago, and the experience has been outstanding. He is an incredible surgeon—attentive, personable, and always willing to answer every question. My post-op pain has been minimal, and I’m genuinely amazed at how smoothly my recovery is going so far. Dr. Ramkumar combines exceptional skill with true compassion. I couldn’t recommend him more highly.

I had my right hip replaced on October 13, 2025. I had been in a lot of pain for months prior to surgery and now I am completely pain free on the right side. Dr. Ramkumar did a really great job. He explained the whole process and I knew just what to expect. I was still really worried about the surgery, whether it was going to take care of all the pain. But, I couldn’t be happier with the results and I am looking forward to having the left hip replaced soon. If I had any questions or concerns I was able to communicate with Dr. Ramkumar and his staff for the answers I needed. Thanks for a great job, Dave Tuggle

Prem N. Ramkumar, MD, MBA

To begin with the staff was wonderful. His new office space is modern and spacious. It was also impressive that Dr Millistein has a technician on site for X-rays. Dr. Millstein is amazing doctor. He did my right knee about a year ago and it’s in fantastic condition. I tell people it’s biotic. Lol. I’m scheduled to do my left knee in a few months and looking forward to be able to do more activities without any pain. Thank you Dr milstein and staff.

A rainmaker Orthopedic Surgeon. Dr. Hunt saved my life. I suffered from 30 years of debilitating back pain. Eight compression vertebrae fractures. Six surgeries. Dr. Hunt recommended a Kyphoplasty procedure. He set me up with Dr Marcel Maya, Interventional Radiologist. Also a rainmaker. Dr. Maya performed this breakthrough procedure. Kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive surgical procedure. An out patient procedure. He injected a targeted vertebrae with cement. I have been pain free since this procedure was done. 30 years of severe back pain and addiction to painkillers. I awoke pain-free. I was in a very dark place. All the credit goes to Dr. Hunt. He recommended this procedure and referred me to Dr. Maya and together, they performed a miracle. God bless them both!

Leonel Hunt, MD

Dr. Millstein is an excellent doctor who explains both surgical and non-surgical options for my arthritic knee pain.

I had severe spinal stenosis in L5 and L6 in 2020. Dr. Khurana performed a discectomy. My surgery was a great success, and I no longer had any pain! I even walked up a large stairway in my home on the day I returned home from surgery!! My spinal stenosis has worsened to the point I cannot stand or walk in L3 and L4, and he will be doing another procedure for me soon. I consider Dr. Khurana a miracle surgeon!

Sanjay Khurana, MD

Dr. Ramkumar consulted with me about my hip over several months. He is a good and patient listener and was very responsive to my questions. We considered the pros and cons of resurfacing vs full hip replacement and decided that for me full hip replacement would be best. The surgery went well and his pain management regimen and recommended therapy both made my recovery quick and thorough. I’m very happy with my new hip and would recommend him to anyone experiencing trouble with a hip. Thanks, Dr. Ramkumar!

Prem N. Ramkumar, MD, MBA

Lovely office and efficient. Dr Khurana is kind, direct and easy to talk to. He explained what was going on based on my X-rays/MRI in a clear, concise way that didn't feel overwhelming. We have a plan in place to treat my neck pain and that is a huge relief.

Sanjay Khurana, MD

I would recommend Dr Ramkumar 100 out of 100 times without hesitation. This was my 2nd ACL reconstruction. My first was 9 years ago on my other knee with a different ortho. I was expecting a tougher, more painful and longer recovery now at the age of 35 than my first one at 26 and I was pleasantly surprised at how wrong I was. This time around, pain has hardly been an issue and I’m back on my feet much faster. Dr Ramkumar and has team are there to answer any questions and most of the time the info can be found on his website. He’s very clear on what he needs you to do in your first days and weeks post surgery and I believe it played a massive role in getting me off crutches in only 2 weeks. I have already recommended a neighbor to him and won’t hesitate again if anyone else asks.

My name is Ana Vega I don’t usually write reviews, but this one is deeply personal and well deserved. This is your sign. I was in so much pain before my surgery walking, sleeping, and even daily activities became a struggle. When I finally met Dr Ramkumar, I immediately felt hope. He went to Harvard, and you can tell from the moment he speaks that he’s not only brilliant but also incredibly compassionate and grounded. He took the time to listen, explain every detail, and make sure I felt comfortable and informed. When it came time for surgery, he repaired both of my meniscus with absolute precision and care. The results were beyond what I ever expected I truly feel like I got my life back. His patience, professionalism, and dedication to his patients are unmatched. What stood out most was how genuine he is. He doesn’t just treat your condition he treats you as a whole person. Every follow-up visit was handled with kindness and attention, and I always felt like I was in the best possible hands. If you’re ever in need of an orthopedic surgeon, I can’t recommend Dr. Ramkumar enough. He’s a true expert at what he does and a doctor who truly cares about the people he helps. I’m beyond grateful for everything he’s done for me he’s the reason I’m pain-free and back to doing what I love.

Dr. Ramkumar completely relieved my left hip pain—something I’d struggled with for several years. I’ve always been active, having played field hockey and tennis in my younger days, but the pain eventually became so severe that I could barely walk a couple of blocks. I was diagnosed with a left hip impingement and labral tear, and underwent surgery with Dr. Ramkumar. Now, five weeks post-op, I’m walking pain-free and steadily regaining my strength. From the initial consultations to the surgery, physical therapy, and follow-up visits, every step of the process was seamless. Dr. Ramkumar’s expertise, compassion, and genuine passion for helping patients made all the difference. I’m deeply grateful to Dr. Ramkumar and his team. Thanks to them, I can walk without pain again and look forward to staying active for years to come.

My husbands dr appointment with Dr Bhalla went exceptionally well. He’s very attentive and we’re filling thru with MRI to find out the cause of pain.

Today I’m celebrating the 14th day since my anterior Total Hip Replacement with Dr Ramkumar! My recovery has vastly exceeded what I had hoped for in this short time. I thank Dr Ramkumar for his excellent surgical skills & abilities, but also, for preparing me in the months pre-surgery through his excellent educational website which guided me each step of the way. As the surgery approached, any questions I had were answered quickly by email through Stephanie and Margo. My appointments with Dr Ramkumar were never rushed, he is very approachable! All my questions for him were answered in a way I could easily understand, even though they were regarding complex robotic surgery. I’m 67 years old & my world had become very narrow & restricted due to the often debilitating pain & range of motion which prevented me from even simple walks with my pup. It was a bad place to be, but each day of my recovery this 2nd week has opened my world back up to where I can once again see myself having new adventures, social activities & hobbies! As for the pain, I didn’t need narcotic pain medication past the 2nd day post-surgery. My pain is simply managed by Tylenol & is really nothing compared to the pain before surgery! I was released from the walker last week & today my PT allowed me to walk around inside the house without my cane! Thank you Dr Ramkumar! I would highly recommend him, especially to anyone who is interested in having an active part in their hip replacement journey!
