Staff and office experience reviews

Dr. Lee came highly recommended by another physician who I think very highly of. I still did my own research before making an appointment and came to the conclusion that the reviews I read were spot on. He and his staff are very professional, knowledgeable and helpful. Dr. Lee spent a lot of time with me answering questions, explaining his findings and recommendations and discussed my situation in language I could understand. If you’re in need of a doctor with his expertise, make an appointment…you’ll be glad you did.

Everything was easy from my first phone call to my post op visit. I had surgery from Dr Khurana 10 years ago, and when i was out of town and in alot of pain, I made a phone appointment with him and i was scheduled for surgery the following week. Dr Khurana came in obviously before my surgery and two times after. My 1 week post op was with his PA Brianna and it was great. I walked in a bit early and was taken immediately. She answered all my questions, was very personable and I felt very comfortable there. The front desk staff were very friendly as well.

On behalf of my Dad /Hector Valdez- Dr Ramkumar did an awesome job. He did his left knee robotic replacement surgery. It was a success and the recovery, care, follow up has been with so much care. We are now scheduling the 2nd knee surgery this summer and confident of the same outcome due to his excellent expertise and his caring team. Highly recommended.

1. The location is convenient 2. The office is pristine and inviting. 3. The staff is pleasant and efficient. 4. There was very little wait time. **The consultation with the Dr. was thorough, and all of my questions were answered. She explained more than I asked, and I like that. Having the X-ray before seeing the Dr. was very helpful.

After extensive research and consultations with multiple spine surgeons, I chose Dr. Brandon Ortega and that decision proved to be absolutely the right one. From the outset, Dr. Ortega demonstrated a level of expertise, precision, and clinical judgment that immediately set him apart. He took the time to thoroughly explain my diagnosis, reviewed imaging in detail, and clearly outlined the reasoning behind each treatment option. His approach was thoughtful, methodical, and grounded in both experience and evidence. Having been under Dr. Ortega’s care for several months prior to surgery, I always felt confident that my case was being managed with careful attention and long-term planning. When surgery became necessary, his professionalism and technical skill were evident throughout the entire process. The results thus far have been outstanding. For the first time in a very long time, I am not experiencing the back pain, leg pain, shooting pain, or numbness that had significantly affected my daily life. The improvement has been both meaningful and noticeable. Equally impressive was Dr. Ortega’s team. His staff and surgical coordinator were responsive, organized, and consistently supportive before and after surgery, a reflection of a well-run, patient-focused practice. Choosing a spine surgeon is a major decision. Based on both the process and the results, I can say with confidence that Dr. Ortega is an exceptional surgeon whose skill, judgment, and care truly stand out. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone facing complex spinal issues. — Michael H., Long Beach, CA

Dr. Ramkumar diagnosed and solved a problem that has caused me back pain for over 20 years, going back to collegiate athletics. What I thought was a back problem was actually a hip/femur issue. Dr. Ramkumar diagnosed it immediately, and worked with my insurance to have surgery approved. The surgery went off without a hitch. I felt no pain after the surgery (even when the meds wore off), either at the incision site or within my hip/back. My previous back pain was almost immediately gone. Minah and the physical therapy staff were also incredible in getting me back to better than before. I can’t thank Dr. Ramkumar and his staff enough, this surgery and diagnosis was truly life changing.

Dr. Ramkumar has been the best doctor I have ever had the opportunity to see. Let me rewind a bit. I had a serious soccer accident when I was 16 that resulted in hip surgery at 17. At the time, I thought I was good to go. Unfortunately, my body had other plans. I only had about two pain-free years before the hip pain returned, and over the next 8–9 years it slowly got worse. What started as hip pain turned into back pain, knee pain, sciatica—you name it. I tried everything: physical therapy after physical therapy, aqua therapy, doctor after doctor. Every test came back “normal,” and no one could tell me what was wrong. It felt like either no one was looking hard enough, or no one truly understood what I was dealing with. That all changed when I met Dr. Ramkumar. At my very first appointment, he took new X-rays, looked at them once, and immediately knew what was wrong. For the first time, I finally had answers. Even more importantly, he took the time—despite his busy schedule—to sit with me and explain everything in a way I could truly understand. He is incredibly personable and never talks down to you like some doctors do. You can genuinely tell that he cares about helping you get your life back from chronic pain. I was understandably nervous about going through surgery again, but between Dr. Ramkumar and his amazing staff, I felt confident moving forward. And let me tell you—it was life-changing. I finally feel free from the pain that haunted me for so many years. I only wish I had found his office sooner. Every single staff member, from the PAs to the front office team, is kind, welcoming, and treats you like family. They make you feel heard, comfortable, and supported—qualities that are sadly rare in medical settings, in my experience. I am beyond grateful for the care Dr. Ramkumar and his team have provided, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who is sick and tired of living in pain.

It’s been 6 months since my wrist surgery (for a torn TFCC) and I have improved vastly. I want to thank Dr. Ahn and his team for everything, from pre-op to post-op, especially the recommendation for my occupational therapy.

Richard Ahn, MD

Dr. Ramkumar and his team (shoutout to Margo & Ishan) have been consistently superb throughout the entire process of helping me recovery from my injury (comprised of: ACL tear, lateral meniscus tear, & MCL sprain), which isn’t a surprise because even when I first met them I immediately knew that I was in good hands. Him and his team are so responsive (I always receive a response either in the same day or the next day) that I wonder when they find the time to sleep. Dr. Ramkumar’s knowledge is both expansive and current. So much so, that he used Cameron brink’s surgery as an example when he was telling me about the LET procedure. My dad tore his ACL twice, and neither of his surgeons ever mentioned the LET procedure in tandem with the ACL repair. So Dr. Ramkumar enlightened both my dad and me on its history and results. As an athlete who misses playing volleyball dearly, I’m so happy and blessed to have him in my care team because he has a track record of treating other athletes as well. The day of my surgery was quick and smooth. Dr. Ramkumar met with me before I was put under to go over everything again, and did so again when I woke up after the surgery as well to make sure the brace was properly fitted and that I had all the instructions/paperwork. I had minimal pain after surgery, and I was even able to bend my knee to 90 degrees the DAY AFTER surgery (90 degrees was my two week goal)!! TL;DR I’ve had the BEST experience I could ever hope for because of Dr. Ramkumar and his AMAZING team ✨❤️ (The picture attached is from my post-op appointment on Halloween lol, they are always VERY professional otherwise)

I recently visited Dr. Ramkumar for a Hip replacement revision, and he has completely turned my life around from an accident I had when I was younger. He and his team are top tier and are there for you every step of the way. Not only do they lay everything out for you and give you all your options, they also do it with a smile and welcome you into their family. They want to see you succeed and feel yourself again. I could not recommend him enough. I can’t wait to continue my journey with him and outstanding team. Thank you, THANK YOU!

The best service was received by the doctor and his staff, I highly recommend Dr Ortega
