Staff and office experience reviews

Dr Sanjay Khurana is the number one spine surgeon on the West Coast and top five in the country. If not the best he’s done two neck and two back surgeries on me and my experience at his facilities at the Commons was nothing short of a miracle. I was referred there by my friend Dr Gary Brazina i’ve had 100% recovery and have a new body to continue doing my extreme sports photos. Attached the efficiency of his office staff is incredible. I was terrified to have the surgeries done and now I would recommend him to anyone because he will fix your problems and take your pain away. incredible experience all the way around. With 100% success, my body feels like it’s 30 not 66 and I intend on continuing my extreme sports life. Thank you, Dr. Khurana and your office staff. After my first surgery, I was at a Laker game overall the results have been nothing short of a miracle. The facilities at the Commons are nicer than most five star hotels and his surgical team was incredible. The follow up is even better. If you’ve been waiting because you’re afraid of having your spine worked on, don’t wait any longer. This has been life-changing for me. The bulk of my injuries have been with me since my 20s from the athletics of the car. Accident didn’t help these injuries obtained through a life of incredible sports and I feel blessed to be able to continue although have retired from the pro water ski jumping, but we’ll still be doing the extreme snow skiing along with all my other sports paddle boarding ultimate frisbee pickle ball. The list goes on and on when I went into Dr Khurana’s Office I couldn’t walk unassisted.

Dr. Khurana is a thoughtful, precise and talented surgeon. I researched very thoroughly to find a surgeon for my son's spinal surgery. Suffice to say Dr. Khurana is the only spine surgeon I have recommended I recently saw him for my own spinal issues, he interpreted my images for me very patiently and assured me, he sees no surgery in my future. I trust him completely. His staff, x-ray technician are also thorough kind , and pay attention to the details. Thank you Dr Khurana!

Nothing but great things to say about Dr. Khurana and staff! My surgery experience has been everything I’d hoped for. Thank you!

I can't say enough about Dr. Khurana and his team. My surgery has given me a new lease on life. I traveled to see Dr. Khurana specifically for his expertise, and it was absolutely worth it. From the initial consultation to post-op care, the entire team made me feel supported, informed, and truly cared for. Dr. Khurana's attention to detail and dedication to my recovery exceeded all my expectations. Today, I’m able to do things I hadn’t imagined possible, pain-free. I am beyond grateful for the skill and compassion of everyone involved. They’ve changed my life!

Dr. Khurana and his team did a fantastic job on my spine. Just after having an MRI, Dr. Khurana took the time and go through what was going on and how to treat my condition in a very clear and understandable way. This was the third doctor I went to as the other two made no scene. I was fortunate to only have a minor situation, but it caused me a great deal of pain in my left leg to the point where sometimes I could not walk. Dr. Khurana and his team took care of this in an out-patient process that gave me immediate relief. The micro-surgery process healed in three days without any discomfort. I was back to work the next week. I highly recommend Dr. Khurana, his team and they great facility they have created. DR

The only spine surgeon I trust! Best care by Dr Khurana and his staff.

Five stars is the maximum Yelp allows, but I would rate this amazing surgeon ten stars and more to anyone with spine challenges! Dr Sanjay Khurana is a wonderful human being, a brilliant physician and an excellent surgeon! About a year ago, without any warning, I had difficulty walking, I also had burning sensations in my arms and hands. I saw neurologists and sought opinions from four surgeons. Some recommended two and three disk cervical fusion, which I wanted to avoid. Dr. Khurana took the time to thoroughly explain my MRI and let me know that my spinal compression had to be addressed. As the solution, he recommended two artificial disk replacements. When I had more questions, he called me at 8pm one evening and patiently answered all my questions before surgery. How many surgeons do that? Now, four months later, I'm very happy to report that my surgery was flawless! I have two artificial disks and everything related to my surgery has healed perfectly. Additionally, Dr. Khurana's Medical Assistant Brianna and every member of his staff are very polite, efficient and a pleasure to work with. The Commons Clinic where I had the surgery, my Anesthesiologist and the nurses were also amazing. Thank you Dr. Khurana for removing my cervical spinal compression and all the risks that come from that. God Bless You!

Always welcomed by a team that is prepared and proficient. Despite a longer than usual wait, the same attention and time was given to me. Kudos.

I give Dr. Khurana a million stars if I could. He is very knowledgeable and compassionate. I thought I hurt my left shoulder somehow and had excruciating nerve pain running down my left arm. It was so bad I wanted to chew it off myself. I went to several doctors that sent me for an MRI of the shoulder and was sent for physical therapy. One finally sent me for an MRI of my neck which showed a degenerative disk that was pressing on a nerve. I wasn't comfortable with that doctor or a fan of spine surgery so I went to a chiropractor for help. After several treatments there was no relief in sight. By some miracle my dermatologist suggested I call Dr. Khurana and get a second opinion. I did and was able to get an appointment the next day! When he saw me almost in tears from the pain and me telling him I had a planned trip to Italy a week later, he immediately told me he would make room for me to have surgery to replace a disk in my neck the very next day. Something about the way he said it and of course researching him the day prior, made me feel at ease. Well, he did the surgery, it took a few days to feel myself again, but only because of the anesthesia. I felt no pain the moment I woke after surgery. The pain was gone! Within one week, I was able to board several flights, pain free and enjoy a well deserved Italian vacation with my family. I wouldn't have been able to do that without the surgery and certainly not without Dr. Khurana's expertise! His staff from the front desk to the surgery center he uses to his after care team is by far the BEST I have ever experienced. Don't hesitate to make an appointment if you have spinal pain. You have a life to live and Dr. Khurana may help you live it pain free! Thank you again doctor for your compassion!

Dr Khurana and his team are exceptional. I had concerns about the risks of fusion surgery and he and his team help me prepare and be ready for every step. I am 6 months out and can’t say enough about how qualified and professional Dr Khurana is.

Sanjay Khurana, MD

A few years ago, my neck went out. I couldn't lift my head up at all, and the pain was excruciating! I went to a local orthopedic office, and right away they referred me to Dr Khurana. He looked at my X-ray, and said that it needed to be fixed asap. Collapse discs needed fusing, and this hardware attached. My only problem was my insurance- who insisted I see some morons who didn't specialize in spinal surgery. Hello? This is my neck- not my knee, etc. Took a month of fighting, and they finally approved it. I was so scared! My cervical neck is vital to my spine, and I have had many surgeries in my life! But he was kind, very confident, and respected in his field. My surgery went by the book- every thing he told me. I recovered very well, and you can't find my scar! The rest of my neck is going, as he warned me it would, so I need to get the rest fixed. I wouldn't dream of trusting anyone else on this delicate part of my spine! He's the best! I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs spinal surgery. Amazing staff there, and caring. Thank you Dr Sanjay, and will see you again! Still scared about surgery, but feel better knowing that I am in great hands!!! God bless you!!!

Dr. Khurana and his staff were extremely friendly and professional. He was very patient and answered all my questions.

Sanjay Khurana, MD

I have to preface my comments about my experience with Dr. Khurana and his staff with the fact that I have never been a fan of allopathic medicine, doctors and especially surgeons would be a massive understatement. Almost every friend and family member that's ever had to have surgery, especially back surgery has only come out worse for the wear. Or having to go back multiple times and never recovering partially or fully. I was referred by my primary care physician who could not stop raving about Dr. Khurana as he had fixed one of those bad surgeries I mentioned. Needless to say I was not excited but the pain I was experiencing with my degenerative disc disease, osteoporosis and bulging discs was having a tremendous effect on my mental well-being and ability to do the simplest tasks. Just say I was depressed would've been an understatement. Even though the spinal fusion surgery on my L4 L5 disc's was due before the Covid pandemic hit I was forced to wait three years for my surgery. He advised me if I woke up paralyzed I should call immediately. It was a long three years and not because of the pandemic itself. Possible paralysis can be horrifying consideration. Because I was a Medicare patient I had the surgery performed at St. John's hospital. I happen to have a strange condition where I am highly resistant to anesthesia and have woken up twice during minor surgeries and although by now I was completely unafraid of the surgery itself because I knew I was in such good hands (I had three years to do a lot of research on Dr. Khurana) but the anesthesia situation was still terrifying. I knew the surgery would be longer and more complicated than originally planned but the anesthesiologist completely understood my legitimate concern. To be totally honest I don't remember a thing after getting to the hospital after prepping myself early that morning. And afterwards there was much less pain than I expected and after a year and a half I'm happy to report after getting fresh imaging and consulting with Dr. Khurana last week found out that the surgery was a complete success. I've spoken to surgeons in the past, For myself and as support for friends and family and I have never ever met a surgeon as warm and genuinely caring as this wonderful man. On top of that he also has the patience of a saint. I am not an easy patient, I am well aware of that. But no matter how many phone calls I made and my endless questions and concerns everyone from reception to his medical assistant always treated me with kindness and compassion, like a human being and not just a patient or a file number. After the summer I will be going back to have the screws taken out of my back since the bone grafting was so successful and this time they will be no fear involved whatsoever. It's been five years since we started our journey. It's not over yet and hopefully my DDD will not require any future surgeries. But should I ever need another you can trust I wouldn't hesitate to reach out to his office again. I'm grateful that he is so much younger than me and hope he never leaves the Los Angeles area. Anyone who has the opportunity to have this extraordinarily gifted and compassionate surgeon perform a procedure on them they are incredibly blessed. I am so grateful he did not decide to become a car mechanic with those gifted hands and golden heart.

Dr. Khurana is compassionate, totally vested in your recovery, a terrific listener, knowledgeable and highly skilled. When you need to put your back problems in a surgeons hands, Dr Khurana always makes you feel like you are his only patient/or his most important patient. Dr. Khurana and his staff are the "A-team" when you need back problem help. I gladly travel from Hawaii just to see him and I highly recommend anyone with back problems to seek him out at the Marina del Rey DISC center. I'd give him 10 stars if I could!!

Sanjay Khurana, MD

The staff is always very helpful and pleasant the Dr is very amazing and very caring I'm very glad I was recommended to him from a fellow dr I would recommend DR KHURANA to all my family and friends Definitely.

I received excellent care and wonderful follow up after my complicated surgery. I cannot say enough good things about Dr Khurana and his staff. He is so attentive and empathetic. He explains things in laymen’s terms and is patient with a myriad of questions. Dr Khurana gave me my life back. Bianka is wonderful too. 😊

Once upon a time, in the not-so-fairy-tale land of Chronic Painville, lived an adventurous soul (that's me!), who, following an automotive misadventure that would make even a stunt driver wince, ended up with a neck and back more twisted than a mystery novel plot - think C6/7 and L5/S1 playing the lead villains in this spine-tingling saga. Picture this: a disc replacement at C-6 and 7 became my immediate quest, as I was in such excruciating pain that moving my neck felt like I was auditioning for the role of a non-flexible robot. Now, disc replacement surgery at the time was the new kid on the block in the US, strutting down the medical runway with its shiny new potential. Lumbar spine, though? Not so much on the VIP list yet. And fusion? Oh, I'd heard the tales of woe and stiffness - a motley crew of friends still in agony or moving like vintage robots post-fusion had me saying, "Thanks, but no thanks." So, there I was, waiting in the wings, pain as my constant companion, for years, dreaming of the day when lumbar disc replacement would hit the mainstream. And let me tell you, the idea of doctors rummaging around the front of my torso gave me the heebie-jeebies - like, serious "Are you sure you don't need a map?" vibes. But then, as the pain crescendoed to a level of unbearable that had me contemplating a career as a human pretzel, I embarked on a quest to find the Merlin of spine surgery. Enter Dr. Khurana - a wizard, a magician, a veritable rock star of the OR. Initially, he was like, "Hmm, your disc has left the building, and we're talking bone-on-bone - wanna see the MRI to prove it? Might have to go the fusion route, but let's give it a whirl." D-Day arrived, and guess what? Dr. Khurana pulled off the impossible with the panache of a maestro conducting a symphony - no fusion, just pure, unadulterated surgical genius. His team? Angels in scrubs, each more caring and considerate than the last. And Dr. Khurana? A man so passionate about his craft, he could probably perform surgery with his eyes closed (not that he did, mind you - just saying, he's that good). Sure, a year later and I'm still on nodding terms with some residual pain, but it's nothing - a mere whisper compared to the cacophony of agony I endured for years. So here's to Dr. Khurana and his crew - the rock stars of the medical world, who gave me back a semblance of normalcy and taught me that, sometimes, the best fairy tales don't involve princes or dragons, but gifted surgeons with the power to change lives.

I've been to this office twice, once to see the P.A. and once to see the doctor. Both times I was extremely impressed with the efficiency of the office, the knowlege of all the staff who I interacted with, the care the doctor and P.A. took in listening to my concerns and evaluating the situation, and the clear and helpful explanations I was given about my condition and their recommendations.

Sanjay Khurana, MD

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!

Sanjay Khurana, MD

I’ve had two surgeries with Dr. Khurana and cannot say enough good things about him, his staff, the facility, everything. When confronted with a lot of pain, I just wanted a compassionate, thoughtful, knowledgeable person to help me. Dr. Khurana and his staff are it. I honestly don’t see how an experience could be any better.

Sanjay Khurana, MD

Great bedside manner. Informed, polite staff.
