Spine and back reviews

I just had L 2 to L 5 decompression the 12Th. of this month, February, 2014, pre opt I suffered from Spinal Stenosis in the worst way and struggled with the easiest of task's such as walking up and down stairs, immediately after the procedure was done, not one or two days later, I had unbelievable relief, this coming after what Dr. Bae was able to do considering how messed up it was in there (my spine) which was worse than what had shown on the recent MMRI. I just today, two weeks and one day went for my first Post opt visit only to find out that I have cleared except going back to the gym (understandable) to get back to my normal routine. The Dr. is exceptional at what he does, I am basically pain free and have been in that state immediately following the procedure. I feel as though I can have my quality of life back and do the things I did way prior. I would highly recommend Dr. Bae to anyone who is thing of having a procedure done, he will get it and you right. Thanks Les Short

Dr Bae did spacers and fusion on c5-c7. He was very kind before and after the surgery. He has a great deal of integrity and does not perform surgery unless he really sees a benefit for him. I was in horrible pain before the surgery. 6 vicodin a day, two trips to urgent care a week, trigger point shots In my neck. I left the hospital only taking Aleve. Dr. Bae gave me back my quality of life!

I would highly highly recommend Dr. Bae to anyone suffering with back pain! Through the years I have gone to several orthopedist and neurologist. I was actually scheduled to have a fusion in my lower back. I heard about Dr. Bae and got an appointment to see him. On my first visit I could see that he was so knowledgeable,kind and caring. He recommended that I sign up for a clinical trial. I was approved and got an injection about a month later. After about two and a half weeks I felt a significant improvement. I did not have the lingering ache, that I have had for years. It's a miracle!!!

Loved Dr. Millstein! I needed meniscus surgery and had been referred to "all the best" of the other orthopods in BH and MDR. The others were such a chore to get an appointment with and had some pretty scary reviews of how their offices were run. While I was doing my research, Dr. Millstein's yelp review kept popping up. Could I find an orthopedic surgeon through Yelp I thought to myself? So I kept doing research, made a surgical consult appointment with one of the best, a MONTH away (other doc's very earliest available) and decided to look further into Dr. Millstein. I really liked what I read and decided to see Dr. M. Called and had an appointment three days later, had my consult & surgery completed before my appointment with that other doc even came around. So GLAD I went with Dr. M! My surgery was in the BH facility he uses and everyone at the surgery center was amazing. Dr. M. also does surgery in a MDR facility which I've heard is also wonderful but I had to go to BH for insurance coverage reasons. Most orthopods do surgery and have offices in two or three cities and most also work under the larger umbrella of a corporate group of surgeons. Dr. Millstein is a part of the D.I.S.C. Spine & Sports Center. Every one of Dr. Millstein's office staff is so nice and very helpful but I did have a couple of annoyances with hearing back from his assistant in a timely manner and once had a heck of a time getting someone to answer the phone. Both of these situations Dr. Millstein was aware of and assured me they are working on it. Nothing's perfect and no medical office gets it right all of the time and I will take my experience with Dr. Millstein any day. Waiting room experience was also excellent...ten minutes the first time and maybe 15 the next.

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Bae and his staff. I have had back pain for past 2 years and seen 3 orthopedics and non of them ever gave me a straight answer. When I met Dr. Bae for the first time, he knew exactly what was wrong with my back and was so confident that he could fix it. I loved his confidence and knew how smart he is and went with his suggestion and had surgery. I am pain free and soooooo happy and impressed, I walked right after the surgery and the recovery is so fast. If any body out there is suffering from back pain please see Dr. Bae. He is amazing.

I just came back from my 8:am appointment at cidar sinai spine center. Dr Bae, actually took the time to explain pros and cons of all possible procedures for my back pain, very knowledgeable and I have done my research. His clinic is participating in a clinical study that might give a solution to my problem (lower back pain without radiation to the legs). Very sincere guy, was truly helpful, and hopefully this will lead to a solution long sought. I just started to read about it...intresting stuff..relievan sense relief. I'll keep you posted

Arrived at the office, short wait, staff was personable, friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. Dr, Bae was friendly, sincere, intent, and explained what the images of the MRI revealed and what is causing the pain in my neck. More recent tests are required to accurately diagnose the injury. My doctor strongly suggested I go see Dr. Bae. Best advice I've gotten in a long time. He and his staff are absolutely the best. Thanks Glenn

It was difficult to know where to park. Then it was difficult to know to follow the signs. Then when leaving you have to have a code which I did but machine would no work until I also put my credit card in. These would be simple instructions to be given to new patients. My problems were not resolved yet. I didn't realize they would need my neck MRI as well but next time they will. Unfortunately I have to wait another month. Dr. Khurana was very personable and positive. He did not rush however I left with no suggestions for my discomfort.

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.

The first 3 weeks was very painful then was able to walk with some pain and for 4 weeks my legs were getting better then woke up with pain in left knee tryed to walk and knee would buckle lasted for 2 weeks now everything is fine no pain when walking wish I would have meet Dr Bhalla 5 years ago when walking was very painful the surgery he did on my back fixed the problems I had when at least 4 doctors said it was old age and nothing they can do to help me send me two times to pain management Doctors which looked at my MRI and seen nothing Dr Bhalla looked at it and told me what needed to be done. I would recommend him to anyone with back problems to see him first i rate him 10 out of 10

Dr. Bae has been great. I had a lower back injury and participated in a clinical trial. Dr. Bae was my physician for all follow-up appointments for a period of 1 year following my procedure. I found him to be kind, direct, thorough and attentive. If you're looking for a caring, qualified physician in this field, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Hyun Bae, MD.
