Spine and back reviews

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.

Dr. Khurana was friendly, actively listened and answered my questions. He was honest and empathetic. He is an excellent surgeon and has a wonderful bedside manner. He explains everything in as much detail as one needs/wants and is open to spending time with the patient until all questions have been answered. He is not only the best spine surgeon in LA but the world as well.

Received excellent service from entire staff, from intake to all the time needed with Dr. KHURANA to answer all questions and address my concerns. I'm considering the choice to have spinal fusion, and the KHURANA team made this critical decision much easier to contemplate!

Dr. Khurana is one of the best doctors I have ever been to. He's extremely knowledgeable, confident with compassion, thorough and reassuring. The Spine Institute that he has created is a rare clinic. From top to bottom the staff are capable, caring, efficient. It's spacious and clean. I had my fusion surgery there and it was by far the best surgery experience I have ever had.

I met Dr. Khurana for the first time to treat back pain. My friend recommended him to me. His staff were so professional and made everything so easy for me. Dr. Khurana was terrific!, so knowledgeable, answered all my questions and concerns.

Dr. Khurana was able to provide me with a clear explanation of my back injury, the procedure to fix it, and the recovery process. Effective communication and a thorough understanding of my medical situation are crucial for my comfort and confidence in the treatment plan.

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 is an excellent physician. He cares deeply about his patients. My surgery could not have gone better. I am so pleased I was referred to him and would recommend him to anyone in need of spinal surgery.

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.

I have a few medical issues that I’m trying to work through. Seeing the related doctors as scheduled and spending enough time with him or her is crucial to convey my problem. Couple of times I spent my visit with the PA only. One of them was with a spine surgeon at UCLA health. He didn’t bother to stop by so I had to settle with a young doctor want to be with my complicated spine problem. He was vey nice and nothing personal, but I quit going to see this spine surgeon since he didn’t value to see me even if there was nothing he could do. I like doctor Khurana for his personal engagement in details, and conservative approach rather than jumping for surgery! I have heard nothin but him being a trustworthy doctor. Thanks Karim

i can't express how thankful I am to have been under the care of Dr. Sanjay Khurana, a nationally ranked spine surgeon. His expertise and precision in handling my spine condition were truly remarkable. He left no stone unturned in ensuring the best possible treatment for me. What touched me the most was his compassion and kindness throughout the entire journey. Dr. Khurana genuinely cares about his patients and their well-being. He listened to my concerns, answered ALL my questions, and supported me every step of the way. I feel blessed to have had such an incredible surgeon by my side. If you're seeking top-notch spine care, I highly recommend Dr. Sankay Khurana. You won't be disappointed! #GratefulPatient #TopSurgeon #CompassionateCare

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

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 effectively communicated my spine issue and discussed my options office staff was friendly and helpful.

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

My husband had successful back surgery done by Dr Khurana a few years ago so when my back became a problem, I went to him too. Both Dr Khurana and his PA were clear in their explanations, answered all our questions, and did not rush us. Dr Khurana suggested a treatment plan which I'm about to begin. I expect that my final result will be just as successful as my husband's.

Had surgery for lower spine and so far (2weeks) later I am back to my old self. I do have pain but we are managing it with medication. I would highly recommend Dr Khurana

Sanjay Khurana, MD

Without question the most capable, professional and caring neurosurgeon a patient could ever hope for. I had my first surgery with him, a cervical fusion, in 2005, followed by a second one, a lumbar fusion in 2010. Going from truly unbearable pain which in both cases went on for months, following my procedures I woke up nearly 100% cured; an absolute miracle of relief. It's been 13 years since my last surgery, and my congenital issues have again reared their ugly heads. I flew from Portland, Maine last week to see him and was once again comforted entirely by his extraordinary kindness and understanding, his bedside manner exceptional as always, and I'm planning my next fusion one level up. Beginning with his office staff, Nancy And everyone else with whom I've had the pleasure of dealing, Dr. Khurana's practice practice is second to none. I literally trust him (and his exceptional office support ) with my life. Make an appointment and be prepared to wait a bit sometimes, but be confident in knowing that when it's your turn he will give you all the time in the world. There could truly be no more outstanding, talented, informative, personable surgeon, and I feel so fortunate to have found him. 💙

Sanjay Khurana, MD

Exceptional, compassionate care! Dr. Khurana is a patient, kind, wildly competent surgeon. He instills confidence. Many great surgeons lack bedside manner. Dr. Khurana delivers in all aspects. 10 days after 3 cervical spine disc replacements, virtually all of my major pain symptoms associated with severe foramimal stenosis are gone. I will be forever grateful to him and his crew. The staff in the surgical center were also truly outstanding. I’ve been told I can be a “tough customer.” I can tell you Dr. Khurana and company far exceeded all my expectations-which were high to begin with! May all the good Dr. Khurana and staff do come back to them in abundance…

Sanjay Khurana, MD

Dr. Khurana made a big impression on both of us. I am suffering from serious lower back pain, and the doctor found a less invasive way of fixing my spine. He also noticed that there is an area he can fix from a previous surgery. I am eager to use him for my surgery as I have heard nothing but rave reviews from my friends who have used him.

Dr Khurana is extremely knowledgeable in his field and treats his patience with care. He’s very personable and friendly and keeps the needs of his patients at the forefront. He performed a back procedure on me a few years back relieving me of pain and discomfort, witch, allowed me to do the activities I love. I would highly recommend Dr.Khurana should you be experiencing any back or spine problems.

Dr. Khurana has been my neuro-surgeon for almost 2 years. He performed two surgeries on me- my neck and my lower back on February 2021. Dr.Khurana is an excellent surgeon, very good bed side manners, very caring, lots of empathy. I highly recommend him for any one who has spine issues.
