> Really great facility and Dr had amazing bed side manor. He was not pushy on surgery at all and explained to me the many options I had on my road to feeling better/recovery. Highly recommend!

> There is no doubt Dr. Khurana is one of the most talented spine surgeons in the country. However, his talents go far beyond his surgical skills. By way of background, I had an artificial disc replacement at the L5-S1 level. After a decade of countless epidurals and two microdiscetomies, I finally opted for surgery. Everything went as planned. To say “Dr Khurana has been there every step of the way” is a massive understatement. He has called me numerous times post-surgery to ask how I’m doing and walk me through what to expect next from my body during the recovery. I have never encountered such a thoughtful and  caring doctor in all my years. You can hear it in his voice and more importantly see it in his actions. I couldn’t be more thankful for what he has done to get me through both my surgery and my ongoing recovery.
> 
> Now for his staff. I have to thank Jessica and Nancy for making the pre-op process so smooth. They walked me through the process and helped me take care of everything I needed to do prior to the surgery. I have to give a special thank you to Jessica for dealing with my insurance company. It feels like an on-going battle, but I have a feeling all will work out with Jessica fighting by my side.
> 
> Saving the best for last…I can’t thank Marineh enough for all the support and care she has given me. She is an absolute superstar!! I text or call her almost every day. She answers every time without delay and helps me in any way she can. She inspires a sense of calm and confidence. She embodies the definition of compassion.
> 
> The long and the short of it is that Dr. Khurana and his staff are hands down the best team in the country. Putting my spine in their hands has been the best decision I have ever made.

> Dr Khurana has been very influential in my life and he is humble about it, that he probably doesn't realize that.  I am a Spine and Sports Medicine physical therapist that has been helping people with debilitating spinal pain.  I only bring that up because when I had back surgery, he demonstrated good bedside manner, compassion, expertise and most importantly, I've been able to perform at a high level... lifting weights and being active with three kids 15 years later.  
> 
> When I had to make the decision on who to do my spine surgery at age 28, (I am 42 now) I went and had consultations by the best.  I was a spine specialist at that time and went to numerous conferences, so those were who I reached out to.  I had second, third , and fourth opinions.  Khurana was my fourth and he was the only one that showed compassionate care.  Btw I had a disc that was sequestered (broke off).  
> 
> He taught me that being the best is not enough as a practitioner.  It is important to also be compassionate and caring.  To practice listening.  We don't get taught this in school.  
> 
> I've referred my colleagues and patients to him and they come back with the same beautiful stories as you are reading.  I hope Dr Khurana is reading this review and to know that he is truly a gem in this field.  Wishing everyone who is reading this the best recovery.  I know it's a scary place to be when you are in pain and deciding to have surgery or not, you don't know who to trust, and I hope this LONG over due review can help you.

> I had an L2/L3 micro decompression with Dr. Khurana in May, 2022.  All things considered, I could not be happier...of course wishing I wasn't in this boat, I found Dr. Khurana and his office superb.  Kind, caring, knowledgeable, practical...they put the package together well.  At the outset, we had some small issues with getting timely return calls, but that issue went away once we got really into the process.  It's clear (in a very good way) that they do this for a living and really, really, really know what they are doing...the issues I had were, for them, commonplace.  I guess that's where a patient wants things to be.  Physically, I am vastly better (I can walk more than 50 yards again!) with some relatively minor residual nerve issues in my lower leg.  Dr. Khurana is, again, very knowledgeable, considerate, caring, practical and communicative about those issues...in the real world (again, of course, wishing I didn't have them), I couldn't ask for anything more.  Overall, I am extremely pleased to have chosen Dr. Khurana for my surgery.

> Dr. Khurana is an exceptional person and surgeon.  He has received top education and has made important contributions to his area of expertise.  My care is never rushed and my concerns are treated respectfully.  Dr. Khurana has a mellow persona and is thus easy to talk to.  His staff are polite and always helpful.

> As an aside, five years ago Dr. Khurana performed surgery on my spine.  I had an uneventful recovery and feel good to this day.  I would not hesitate to return if ever I had the need for similar care.

> July 27, 2022
> Lower back pain is gone, just mostly slight discomfort. 
> Spinal fusion was performed on July 18, and I am out of Cedars Marina Del Rey Hospital and at California Rehabilitation Institute in Century City for a week now. 
> 
> I have had numerous spine surgeries in the past, all done by the very skillful Dr. Khurana. All of them have given me total pain relief within a week or two. No more serious pain meds are needed, just Gabapentin and Tylenol. 
> 
> I would very much like to thank Dr. Khurana and his skilled team for making my life pain free. Special thanks go to Surgical Coordinator Jessica Lopez who always took my calls, answered my numerous questions and scheduled my surgery date. Special thanks also to Noor Lakhani for ordering my meds prior to surgery and with helping me get placed with Cal Rehab...I'm very appreciative. 
> 
> Others deserve mentions as well, Elena De Silva who coordinated the delivery of my ice machine and helped me with my post operative back brace. And Bianca who also ordered my pre operative pain meds. 
> 
> And especially all those wonderful people at Cedars Marina Del Rey; the Anesthesiologist and all of the operating nurses and technicians. I am thankful for what you did for me. And I look forward to not seeing you in that environment again. But if I do, I know I will be well taken care of.

> They are extremely accommodating. I had 2 MRI’s at 9 am and was in front of Dr khurana a little after 10. So that was the office experience but what is much more important are the  results. I had a herniated disc in 2009 and no problems until this year. I suffered before the surgery in 2009 for months and the day after the surgery I was up walking around and back to work within a week.

I had extensive spinal decompression and lower back fusion surgeries 6 months ago. My treatment and overnight stay at the LA Spine Surgery Center was 1st Class. I am healing exceptionally well and I am relatively pain free now. I am looking forward to getting back on the golf course soon. I highly recommend Dr. Khurana.

> I don't really know where to begin.  I was introduced to Dr. Khurana after injuring my neck and not having any strength/extreme pain in my shoulder.  This was a Tuesday afternoon around 3pm.  He reviewed my MRI and knowing the pain I was in insisted that his assistant schedule me for surgery Thursday that same week and not wait until Friday.  I had a herniated disk.  It was in pieces. It was only one day but it showed a lot about the doctor understanding his patients and doing what needs to be done to put them first.  He answered all my questions, was honest about everything I asked him, and most importantly made me feel like I was his only patient despite having I believe 4 other procedures to do that day.  I didn't even get a 2nd opinion...this guy was so impressive upon meeting him my father who is a physician and I decided it wasn't necessary.  I handled zero paperwork, everything is done for you, what a pleasure.  Lastly, I was back at work 4 days later.  I was back playing 18 holes of golf 5 weeks post op.  No rehab was necessary.  I simply cannot say enough good things about this man.  I thanked him 1000 times over and its still not enough. I am back to normal life.  Dr. Khurana is the absolute best!!!!!

I know he is busy but each time I meet with him he spent all the time I needed, as if I was the only patient he had that day.  My surgery when very well and my recovery was easy.  He and his PA Ms. Kim made sure my and my wife’s questions were answered fully.  If I had further questions between appointments Ms. Kim got back to me right away and always said she would, if we wanted, would set-up a call with Dr. Khurana.

The Covid pandemic was underway and it was a real challenge getting any medical procedure done, let alone a complicated spine surgery. Nevertheless, Dr. Khurana and staff made it happen. The surgery was successful and I have been pain free since.

The surgery was successful. He and his team were outstanding. The facilities were top notch. I was treated at LA Spine Group in Marina del Rey. I highly recommend Dr. Khurana.

The difference was night and day. Not only was Dr. Khurana's technique different but my recovery time was so much easier. He always made himself available to answer any questions and always checked-up on me post-surgery.

> I had a fusion surgery with Dr. Khurana and I cannot speak more highly about him or his entire team.  Dr. Khurana not only has exceptional clinical reasoning and surgical skills, but he has a phenomenal bed side manner.  He is very confident and personable - both skills that I find essential in a surgeon.  He offered a minimal invasive approach to surgery and a much quicker timeline for recovery - and that is due to his skill was a surgeon.  I am feeling so much better than prior to surgery, and it has only been one week.  I would recommend Dr. Khurana to anyone with spine related pain, and especially if they were considering surgery.

> The best spine surgeon in the business IMO. He's recognized as a Super Doctor for a reason. Important training you want to look for in a spine surgeon doing fusions, which Dr Khurana has, is a fellowship in spine reconstruction because the doctor is removing certain parts of your spine and putting it back together with implants like a car engine that's taken apart and put back together. I've had several surgeries with Dr Khurana... 2019: L4L5/L5S1 fusion, instrumentation, and decompression and 2020: L4L5/L5S1 hardware removal from the 2019 fusion and C5C6 disc replacement. For my neck, I had radiating pain/ongoing tingling down both arms which was exacerbated even from carrying groceries and severe chronic pain in the lower back due to having very little disc material left and couldn't sit long. After the 2019 fusion, I was walking the next morning as soon as I was allowed and my neck disc replacement was a complete success getting rid of the pain down both arms. Dr Khurana is efficient and to the point, answers all your questions, and will diagnose your condition very accurately. He has a great team taking care of patients in different capacities such as his PA, medical assistants, schedulers, billers, surgery staff, etc.. If you're considering spine surgery or want a consultation to discuss a game plan to rehab your spine, I highly recommend you see Dr Khurana.

> Well, here I am two days post-op and I'm walking slowly but without any balance issues or complications. I am very grateful to Dr. Khurana. Before, I could not walk a half city block without falling to the ground in pain. I felt helpless and scared. I feel some discomfort after the surgery but that is to be expected. This is nothing like I encountered in my first surgery ten years ago.
> 
> I put off the surgery as long as I could because I was genuinely frightened. All is great now! I feel twenty years younger. If I have must require further procedeures Dr. Sanjay Kharana will be the doctor I choose.
> 
> In closing, it was a wonderful experience. I had the procedure performed at the Diagnostic & Interventional Surgical Center. The staff is wonderful. They are extremely accomodating and genuinely concerned.
> 
> Again, a big thank you to Dr. Khurana and all of his wonderful staff who made this happen.

> Dr. Khurana communicated very well and laid out surgical treatment option. I’d done physical therapy with out improvement, and he evaluated my MRI and x-rays with a expert’s eye.
> 
> My critical issues were degenerative spondylolisthesis and stenosis that together had come to make walking more than a couple hundred feet difficult with dangerous potential for a bad fall.
> 
> Dr. Khurana explained his surgical approach and I knew I’d found the right surgeon. As he explained, he’s a spine specialist; that’s “all” he does. He uses a minimally invasive approach that makes the surgery much less traumatic for his patients (but probably more technically challenging for the surgeon). I’d been scared of front and back access approaches I’d read about that involved extensive dissection, so I was greatly relieved.
> 
> In my case, I had minimal post-operative pain, (just used cold packs a few times) and one week post-op I’m walking well (with a walker for safety for a few more days) and a back brace to remind me not to Bend, Lift or Twist.

At 60 I have had all types of joint pain over the years, knee operations, rotator cuff tears etc, but nothing is worse than back pain which I felt severely limited my quality of life.   After 5 years of severe back pain,  acupuncture treatments, chiroprator visits, physical therapy and stretching exercizes, and 4 spine specialists (2 told me I needed back surgery, 2 told me surgery could make my back worse!)  I finally came to know Dr. Khurana through a friend my age with simimar back issues who sang his praises.   Long story short, Dr. Khurana is something of a miracle worker if you ask me.  Had my surgery 8 months ago and after a few weeks of post surgery discomfort my back has been virtually pain free. No more frantically looking around for a chair when in a conversation, now I walk the Topanga hills of the SM mountains for exercize, no problem.  Back pain is no joke, if you tried and tried to do things to alleviate the pain but nothing is really working...do yourself a favor and go see Dr. Khurana.   If you elect to have surgery, ask to go to Docs hospital by San Vicente and Fairfax, a doctor owned facility which is a far sight better than one of those huge hospitals.

> I have been suffering from neck/arm pain for the past 8 mos. I've been to 3 different "experts" & no one would write a Rx for me to go in for MRIs...even though nothing else was working: epidurals, cortisone, meds. As a prior gymnast & dancer, I know my body & I know when I started losing the feeling down my hands & then my fingers started to get freezing cold, the problem was a lot more serious than the doctor I was seeing was seeing. I finally demanded he write ard for MRIs on both shoulders & my cervical spine & through some research was referred to Dr. Khurana - who, after taking one look at all my tests, reports, etc. said I needed emergency surgery or I'd end up with permanent nerve damage. I wonder - if my previous dr had listened to me - would I be in the situation I now find myself?
> 
> Of course, we can't look back, only forward & I am so lucky that I was directed to Dr Khurana, who went over everything with me in great detail & explained the surgery so that even my husband, who doesn't know anything about anything re: medical terms, procedures & the like, completely understood & felt 100% confident when we left. 
> 
> The surgery is pretty extensive:  Dr Khurana will be fusing my C3/4 & then totally replacing my discs at C5/6 & C6/7 & any time one goes in for surgery, especially anything related to the spine, it is nerve-wracking, to say the least. But everyone in the office - from the front desk to Amanda & Elaine &, especially, Dr Khurana made me feel like I was in the best hands possible. 
> 
> My appointment was on a Wednesday & Jessica, who schedules the surgeries, called me the next day & was able to get me in w/in a week - pretty unheard of these days. I go in tomorrow morning & have been told that, while the recovery may be pretty tough, I am expected to feel relief from the excruciating pain I've been living  with pretty immediately. 
> 
> I can't thank the entire staff for making a scary situation less so. 
> 
> If you're reading this & have any issues with your spine, look no farther....Dr Khurana IS your man!
