Staff and office experience reviews

Update: Dr. Bhalla performed spine surgery on me on December 38, 2020. Prior to the surgery he came to my bedside and explained what would be entailed in my surgery. I had a lumbar laminectomy L3-L5, instrumented fusion L4-L5, fluoroscopy, allograft ad autograft. He also performed Sciatic joint fusion on me on Dec 19, 2019…Two rods and 7 screws later I am relatively pain free! He is friendly, compassionate and allays my fears prior to the start of any procedure. After the laminectomy, I saw him in the hospital the next morning at 6:45 am! There he was asking if the pain had subsided and it had. Post operative care provided more of the same compassion and general concern for my wellbeing. I have referred many of my friends, family and associates to Dr. Amandeep Bhalla. While I have so much care and admiration for Dr. Bhalla, I would also like to give a 5 star rating to his Nurse. Ronnie is a Breath of fresh air! She is kind, friendly and compassionate. She puts puts you at ease prior to seeing Dr. Bhalla. I have found that I can get an appointment quickly and once you check in for the appointment, Ronnie calls you in quickly and Dr. Bhalla sees you very quick. It is a very well run office. I was referred to Dr. Bhalla for lower back/sciatic pain. He is friendly, courteous and provides a thorough explanation of my problems as gleaned from the MRI. He assisted me in putting aside my fears of an epidural. On the day of my procedure, he came to see me prior to starting and I was greeted with a warm smile. I would like to also give kudos to his Physician Assistant, Mykeal. They are both young medical professionals who strive to make their patients feel at ease through discussion and information. The entire staff of Dr. Bhalla’s office (Corinne the Scheduler), Yvette (his Nurse), and the staff at the Surgery Center should be commended for fast, courteous and friendly interactions with their patients.

The Team of Dr. Garabekyan and his Medical Assistant Zohra are like no other. I was in denial of the seriousness of my hip pain. He was highly recommended by a friend. During my initial visit Dr. Garabekyan spent time explaining what was causing my hip pain and provided clarification of treatment options. We both knew that this would be a surgical case. He was patient enough with me to work on my schedule and not push surgery until I had time off from work. Now to Zohra, she is amazing! Had multiple issues with my insurance company approving imaging and the actual surgery, but she worked thoroughly to get everything approved in time. I am now almost two-months post-op and OMG wish I had heard of Dr. Garabekyan years ago. I no longer have pain in my hip! He's a godsend!!! Not to mention his work ethic, bedside manner, and how much he truly cares for each patient. 10/10 would highly recommend to anyone having issues with their hips

I couldn’t be more pleased with my entire experience ( from initial pre-op evaluation to 3 month post-op appointment). I am a nurse, and felt extremely confident with Dr. Millstein’s surgical expertise and his manner in which he spoke to me. He thoroughly explained everything to me, and he took time to answer all my questions. My surgical outcome is wonderful. The entire office staff is consistently professional, helpful and friendly. I am extremely grateful that I was able to have my surgery with Dr. Millstein.

Dr. Millstein's office ROCKS! Seriously, from his experienced nurses to stellar office staff, you will be treated very well. The courtesy and care given to patients exceeds any other medical office in my universe. Kudos! Eric will always make you feel like you are the only patient in the building. He takes the time needed to completely explain your injury or ailment to it's fullest degree. Thank you, Eric. You are...THE BEST! This is a ten star recommendation(if a ten star option was offered) JPK

Absolutely great experience and results. I appreciate everything Dr Bhalla and his staff did for me. Thank you.

Amandeep Bhalla, MD

Dr. Wassef is AMAZING! He is so kind and caring, I’ve never meet a Dr like him. His whole team is the BEST! I feel so blessed that I was able to have him do my hip revision. He did a fantastic job, much much better than I had expected. I had my first hip replacement done 4 months prior at Hoag Hospital, it dislocated twice after 4 months of healing and PT. Nightmare!! But I found Dr Wassef and now I have confidence that I will have my active life back. I can’t thank Him enough!!!

Andrew Wassef, MD

Staff very friendly and helpful. Dr. Millstein listened carefully, did a thorough examination and clearly explained his conclusions and his recommendations. Dr. is very knowledgable and my visit was very helpful.

Such a well oiled machine! My first time visiting Dr David Lee, I need a foot surgeon and he got such great reviews I was very happy to meet him. The staff were efficient and friendly between getting Xrayed and meeting with Dr Lee it was a quick process. He took time to review my X-rays with me, we discussed surgical options, and next steps for my care. Overall very good experience.

David Lee, MD

Dr. Khurana and his staff went above and beyond in scheduling and providing me with critical surgery. 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.

Sanjay Khurana, MD

I went to Dr. Bhalla to find relief from back pain. He recommended a shot to help my back. He was excellent in all of the visits. I appreciated his efficiency in the visits and his excellent interpersonal skills. I highly recommend him. I don't remember the names of the other medical technicians and staff but they were also excellent.

Amandeep Bhalla, MD

I have been Dr. Bhalla's patient since 2019 when he performed spine surgery at Memorial Hospital. Dr. Bhalla was very thorough with testing, physical therapy and consultations before my surgery which was a success. I highly recommend Dr. Bhalla. The Staff also very kind and caring.

Amandeep Bhalla, MD

Dr. Millstein is treating my condition conservatively and from one visit I am totally pain-free. An fortunate to have been introduced to him and his accommodating staff.

Eric S. Millstein, MD

Wonderful experience with Cedar Sinai. Dr. Leonel Hunt was a wonderful surgeon, and the staff was always helpful and kind. They ensured my father had a smooth prep, surgery, and follow-up. I am so glad we chose Dr. Hunt and would highly recommend him to anyone. My father is feeling better after the surgery and I am grateful that he did the surgery for my father!

Leonel Hunt, MD

Dr Bhala has been a blessing. Always treating me well, very easy to talk to, explains everything well including surgery. I thank god for this doctor and staff.

I've been to several doctors over the years for my back pain and none of them come close to Dr Bhalla...well, excluding his dad Dr S. Bhalla. I'm thoroughly pleased with Dr Bhalla's professionalism. He took his time explaining my MRI results and my surgery options. I like that he responded to my email questions rapidly. I appreciate him performing my spinal fusion in the mist of the COVID-19 shutdown. A lot of doctors postponed surgeries. The office staff is always efficient. His nurse Roni is so friendly and nice. I've never had a problem making appointments. This office is the best ortho providers in the area!

I'm not one for writing reviews but had a great experience with Dr Millstein and his whole staff from the first time I walked into his office to the time I walked (ok was wheelchaired) out of the surgery center. Attentive, responsive, detailed, and knowledgable. Adam

Dr. Khurana did 2 surgeries - one on my lower back and one on my neck. His care was excellent. It was a complicated surgery and I have recovered fully from the pain I was suffering from. 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. He and his team stayed in touch with me for follow up and made sure that I was healing properly.

Brought my Mom here today because she injured her shoulder! This guy (Dr. Millstein) was so friendly and Warm!!!! Felt like a friend of the family! His staff friendly too! Offered us water while we waited. My 86 year old Mom said “he must be from the old school” bedside manner. Bedside manner is a lost art, but he captured it completely! Thanks so much!!

Eric S. Millstein, MD

Amazing Doctor & staff, very professional and caring just exactly what I needed after an ankle fracture. They took care of me and made me feel at ease.

We learned that our daughter would likely need to have PAO surgery to correct the congenital hip dysplasia of her left hip in the summer of 2019. She found Dr. Garabekyan online and came to her dad and I (both physicians in Indiana) and asked if we could talk to him. At the time, I thought of the idea of going all the way to California to have the surgery was a long shot. I reached out to Zohra, who put us in contact with Dr. Garabekyan. He took the time to meet with my husband and I over the phone and answered all of our questions and concerns. He had a second meeting with our daughter to address all of her questions. We read his research and papers published on the CU-PAO and were convinced that he was who we wanted to do her surgery. With the way Dr. Garabekyan talks to his patients about the mechanics of the hip, we were assured that this is his passion and he is very skilled at what he does. Our daughter had a hip scope in late June of 2020 and her PAO a week later. Her recovery has been amazing and working with Dr. G was our best decision. We cannot say enough good things about Dr. Garabekyan, Zohra, and his staff.

If you want the best spin surgeon, you go to Dr. Khurana. He truly cares about wanting to fix any issue you have with your spine. I had L3-4 to L5-S1 fused back in 2001 by another well-known surgeon in Los Angeles and ended up having to fuse L1-2 to L2-3 in September 2020 and disk replacement (ADR) at C5-6, C6-7 in December 2020 by 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 am extremely happy the my post-surgery results and recommend Dr. Khurana highly. His staff is exceptional and I cannot thank Amanda and Elaine enough for their time and devotion with helping me through the process. I'm truly Thankful for having Dr. Khurana as my doctor. He has changed my life for the best!!!

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. Thank you!
