Absolute expert in his field. I was in so much back pain for years. Dr Bhalla and his team helped me through my surgery and recovery and now I am pain free. He is a great listener and very kind.

Excellent surgeon- had lower back surgery 13 months ago(anterior lumbar inter body fusion L-5 S-1) after experiencing severe pain. I am now pain free and back to enjoying normal activities. I highly recommend Dr. Bhalla.

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.

Dr. Bhalla is great! He did surgery on my lower back. Once I got through the recovery & physical therapy, I no longer have back pain.

I was a patient of Dr Bhalla's recently for low back pain. Everything about the experience was top-notch, five star. His office staff is very friendly and helpful. The office space itself is state of the art, very clean and nice, and Dr Bhalla is exceptional. His compassion and care for his patients is very evident, he is very kind and explained the nature and treatment options for my issue very clearly. I could not recommend Dr Bhalla enough - you will be in great hands!!

I have worked in healthcare most of my career and Dr Bhalla in my opinion is the best of the best. A few years ago I needed back surgery and I got to the point that I could barely walk or do much of anything. I went to three spine surgeons for opinions and I left two of the offices amazed at the suggested treatment plans. One surgeon said I needed anterior and posterior lumbar fusion, the second wanted to send me on the epidural merry go round with a pain pump. Thank goodness for Dr Bhalla- he was spot on with the most appropriate yet minimally invasive surgery. I was thrilled that they had a robot assisted protocal and the added gift of having Dr. S Bhalla ( father) assisting Dr. A Bhalla ( son). I was in and out of Long Beach Memorial quickly, and from the time I woke up from surgery had no pain, no complications had no trouble with rehab - although the surgery was so successful my recovery was fast. Years later- still no pain, great range of motion, ability to weight train with no issues etc. I am still amazed at the outcome - in addition Dr. A and S are extremly compassionate and caring. I wonder if the added positive vibes help with recovery ? Also- I have had the pleasure of meeting Mrs Dr Bhalla and she is one of the top Dermatologist in the area and is very caring and compasionate. Anyone would be lucky to have them as their physicians. PS I am " hard grader" as I evaluate healthcare professionals for a living- best of the best!

Dr Bhalla spent time explaining my spine issues. He reviewed my MRI and made a referral to another orthopedist regarding knee problem. I felt that Dr. Bhalla gave me individual treatment and did not push any invasive treatment. His kindness and care of patients is obvious.

You couldn't find a better spine surgeon. His attitude and caring for my problem was beyond my expectations prior to and after my surgery. All of his staff are fabulous and caring. I would recommend him without hesitation to everyone.

I have severe sciatica and have been to a chiropractor and had physical therapy, yet no improvement. My GP ordered an MRI and suggested I see Dr. Bhalla. I'm glad I did. He took the time to make sure I really understood the reason for all the pain. He showed me on the MRI that I have spinal stenosis and a synovial cyst at L4/5 pushing against the nerves. I'm going with corrective surgery, that much to my surprise is outpatient. The office staff is excellent and scheduling the surgery was a breeze. I feel very comfortable with my choice, and am confident I'm in good hands.

I am very pleased with Dr Bhalla who performed my spinal fusion this past March. He is a great surgeon and listener. You never feel hurried by him and he answers every question. I would recommend him.

Best Orthopaedic Surgeon EVER!!!! I wouldn't have had my most recent lower spine surgery if he wasn't available. He's the Best, and his staff is also. He has the best bedside manners, he pays attention to what your needs and concerns are, he thinks of you only when he's dealing with you. After my surgery and I went home the next day, he called me to check to see how things were going. At the time they were going well. The next day there was an issue. I had also received a text message from his office so I called in and they got him on the phone. He explained what was going on and called a prescription in for my issue. He always keeps the patient the priority and I personally appreciate that. Also, the day of my surgery, as he was heading to his prep area he looked at my son and told him "I'm going to take good care of your mom", that sealed the deal for me. He has always been an exceptional doctor for me. And his office personnel are awesome and special. You cannot write a review without mentioning them. They set the tone for the visit and the office and then Dr Bhalla completes the visit. % exceptional in my opinion. And I can't close this out without mentioning Dr Bhalla wonderful smile . Thank you Dr Bhalla for all you have helped me with, in regards to, my cervical and lower spine. You are the BEST.

Amandeep Bhalla is a highly skilled and caring man. Bhalla’s team performed a 360 spinal fusion, installing hardware to correct my scoliosis and stenosis. He said my surgery was challenging as he found and removed numerous synovial cysts within my spinal column. He did not nick or damage my dura, which must have been quite an impressive feat. My surgery took almost 7 hours; recovery has been slow, sometimes halting, but I’ve steadily improved. I would recommend to anyone who has spine surgery to be patient with their recovery, and to seek out aquatic physical therapy, then progress slowly to water aerobics in a shallow pool.

Dr. Bhalla was very nice and was able to look at my X-ray and suggest a non-surgical remedy for my lower back problem. His entire was extremely nice and was in and out within an hour.

I appreciated the in-depth explanation of what my back problems could have been. I followed through with Dr. Bhalla's referral and so far so good!

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!)

Dr. Bhalla was patient and thoughtful about where he believed my discomfort was coming from and how we might fix it. Everything was detailed and explored in depth. He sought counsel of colleagues to consider the best options for my treatment plan. All attributes you want in any doctor particularly one that deals with spine and back issues. I have no hesitation in referring him and am delighted to do so.
