Three months ago he put 2 new synthetic discs in my lower spine, relieving the nagging pain I’ve dealt with for years. I can’t recommend him and his staff highly enough. He’s the best. G.

My knee injury was by far the worst injury I’ve ever had. It was scary and life altering. I needed a complete ACL reconstruction (using a patellar tendon graft), posterolateral corner reconstruction (using a cadaver ligament), and my peroneal nerve needed to be separated and released from my torn bicep femoris tendon that was pulling on it, causing me to experience foot drop. I have limited medical knowledge, but Dr. Ramkumar has always happily taken the time to explain the prognosis, plan of action, and future goals to me without hesitation or judgement. I really appreciate his straight-forward answers, even when they aren’t happy answers. He has been 100% real and honest with me throughout the entire process and I’m very grateful for that. I am 13 months post-op and my knee feels great! After a year of physical therapy and diligent work at home, I am seeing great improvements in my foot drop as well, a sign that the nerve he freed up is healing properly. I definitely recommend Dr. Ramkumar for anyone who needs knee or hip surgery or consultation. His confidence, knowledge, action plans, pre/post-op care, and staff are top notch! T.

Ramkumar, MD, MBA > Dr. Bae is an excellent diagnostician who zeros in on the real source of a problem. Then he fixes it. He empowers patients by educating us. He works from a simple approach to a more challenging one, if necessary. His staff is organized and treats patients as human beings. Dr. Bae is someone I trust based on two surgeries, one larger and one small. M.

From the beginning of this process a pre op nurse by the name of Stephanie will do a Zoom with you and go over what is going to happen pre, and post operation. I had never felt so relaxed and confident about a Doctor and the team he has behind him. Dr. Ram is the most confident doctor I have ever met and his work speaks for himself. I have referred 2 of my friends to him. They loved his personality.
