The visit to Dr. Millstein was comforting, as he thoroughly explained my shoulder issues, reviewed my options, and answered my concerns. I feel better already! Five stars to Dr. Millstein and his competent team.

Eric S. Millstein, MD

We had a great experience with Dr Garabekyan. We saw him for a consultation and I feel he did a thorough evaluation and took his time to explain his findings. Everyone at the office was a pleasure to deal with from my initial phone call, appointment confirmation call, office staff and x-ray tech. The office is modern, beautiful and comfortable. There may be other options, but we parked in the underground structure and it was valet only.

Professional service from the receptionist, nurse and doctor Millstein! The office is beautifully decorated abd I enjoyed reading one of the many books on the tables. The book about evolution a contemporary of Darwin was interesting to say the least You just do not get this high level of comfort while waiting for yiur appointment. I look forward to my next appointment m ent.

My initial consult with Dr Bae was exceptional . The office was immaculate and very professionally run. I had high expectations of Dr Bae based on reputation and the fact three of my friends recently had successful procedures with him. Also, his PA Bernadette, who comes in for a prep prior to seeing Dr Bae was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful.

Dr. Khurana "saved" the quality of my life. After undergoing 3 unsuccessful spinal surgeries from a highly respected westside doctor the pain was still excruciating. My Internist recommended I try Dr. Khurana for a 4th surgery. 7 years have passed since he operated and remediated the problem. I think about him often and feel blessed by his expertise and skill. As I near 80 years of age I am more active and fit than I had been a decade before. Thank you Dr. Khurana!

Very efficient office staff. The office is very clean and maintained. Dr. Bhalla has been my orthopedic surgeon for more than 10 years. He has done my total hip replacement and lower back spinal surgeries. I highly recommend him for orthopedic issues.

Seriously one of the best doctors I’ve had. Before seeing Dr. Ramkumar I had been suffering from knee pain for 10 months, I had multiple imaging, saw two specialist and received PT and no one could tell me what was wrong until I went to see him. On first meeting him he was very kind, and I didn’t feel rushed in sharing my lengthy experience with my injury, he listened. Within the first 5 minutes of meeting him he was able to see my MRI and identify a tear in my meniscus, something that had been missed by the radiologist and all the other doctors I had seen. I had my surgery within the 3 weeks from that appointment. I am so grateful to him and his staff for the amazing support they have provided during the entire process. I am now 5 weeks out and have been recuperating so smoothly. I truly recommend him to anyone, he is the one to see!

Eric S. Millstein, MD

I was a former collegiate basketball player whose worst nightmare came true: I tore my ACL. (I used hamstring graft for reconstruction). All the hard work to achieve my childhood dream vanished in an instant. The mentality of every athlete is to never let the injury win. Long story short and several setbacks later, I never returned to play. When I did for a short 9 games, I tore the other ACL (cue major depression). I decided to hang it up, thinking I was never meant to be here at the collegiate level. I didn't rehab hard enough. I just wasn't good enough. The injury won. However, physically, I was never the same. I lived in pain and my knee never felt right. I initially limited my workouts to running and no heavy lifting (dead lifts, power cleans/jerks, etc.) to focus on school/work without pain. As years dragged on, the pain kept getting worse: the knee was locking with simple movements, extremely painful after leg day and running was becoming irritating. Suddenly, I couldn't bike for 10 minutes without irritation, pain and struggling at work. I tried no resistance and higher seats without relief. I decided to finally address this. The injury was still haunting me 10 years later. A quick google search brought me Dr. Prem Ramkumar. I read his website: the information was so detailed and his publications were impressive. Not only that but this guy trained at the #1 orthopedic hospital in the country (HSS) and was team doctor for a professional basketball and soccer team. He took X-rays and was shocked. He explained: the previous surgeon placed my ACL tunnels/grafts incorrectly, making my ACL too vertical. This meant that although I had an ACL, it wasn't functioning the way it should. He couldn't believe that I tried returning to basketball with this knee. He further explained that it didn't matter how much I rehabbed or how hard I worked, the mechanical problem IS the reason I couldn't go back to basketball. This unknown weight I had suddenly lifted. All these doubts and questions: answered. He was kind and gentle with explaining this to me, probably because he heard the distress in my voice and the look on my face. He got a MRI and I also had a bucket handle tear of my meniscus, the worse kind you can have. I mean if I have to tear something else, might as well go big right? We discussed my options and I elected to have a revision ACL using patellar tendon, repairing my meniscus and utilizing Bone Marrow Aspirate/Stem Cells with LET. He explained the LET was to further decrease my risk for tearing my ACL (I would definitely crash out if I tore it again). Side note: a quick google search found that most surgeons would have cut out my meniscus since this tear is difficult to heal. He wanted to try and save my meniscus to slow down the progression of arthritis which I appreciate. The stem cells would help with healing. Recovery: I followed his post operative protocol to a tee. I was able to bend my knee to 90 degrees 3 hours after surgery. I was on a stationary bike by day 6. While biking, I had absolutely no pain. I HAD TEARS IN MY EYES BECAUSE WHY WAS I LIVING LIKE THIS BEFORE AND ACTED LIKE IT WAS OKAY? Given that I have been through this 2 other times, I knew what exercises to get started with. I progressed quickly and was able to be out of my brace by 1 week due to my strength. I went back to work by 1 week with NO PAIN. I STILL HAVE NO PAIN. I know not everyone is as crazy as me or maybe has the pain tolerance as me but I have no pain other than normal surgical things and my recovery is going so well. It's easier than my hamstring recovery. I am currently 4 months post op and have a long way to go but I'm extremely happy, grateful and excited. If you have an ACL issue or even need a revision ACL please highly consider him. He's the best on the west coast! To Dr. Ramkumar: Thank you so much for everything. Thank you for hearing me & fixing me physically. You healed the former athlete in me and I couldn't be more thankful for that. Your team is amazing and a reflection of your dedication to your craft.

As a retired nursing professor, Dr. Bhalla was my first and only choice. His reputation is flawless. Not only is he an excellent physician, but he also Kind, Approachable, professional and takes the time to listen to the patient. In addition, it was a pleasant experience with the office staff and Ronnie the office manager. The whole atmosphere in the office reminded me of the good old days when physicians and staff we’re happy to see you

Dr. Eric Millstein was my last minute second option, I'm filled with graduate for that chance to end up having my left rotator cuff surgery done by him. I can’t say enough good things about the entire experience. From my very first consultation, he was thorough, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable, he took the time to clearly explain my diagnosis, walk me through all my treatment options, and set realistic expectations for recovery. The surgery itself went smoothly, and I felt confident knowing I was in such capable hands. What really stood out, though, was the level of care and attention I received throughout the entire process, from pre-op to post-op follow-ups from the entire crew. Today, 10 weeks after the surgery, and only 5 weeks of physical therapy, I'm extremely happy and satisfied with my recovery progress, now I can see it thorough, full recovery is just around the corner. If you’re looking for a skilled, compassionate, and dedicated orthopedic surgeon, I highly recommend Dr. Millstein!!

Dr. Ramkumar has been one of the best experiences I could have asked for. I had a complex lateral knee injury that many doctors before misdiagnosed. Dr. Ramkumar was extremely honest, focused, and not rushed to surgery, in fact he was able in a few months get me back to normal without surgery, when many doctors prior said that surgery was necessary. He was very honest, no sugarcoating the truth, which to me is preferred when you have to make tough decisions. He was extremely knowledgeable and was able to explain the injury in a way that I couldn’t understand and feel confident in my decision making. This quality is very important when dealing with complex injuries where most average people do not understand the healing process and what you can and can’t do. I couldn’t be more grateful for him and the team putting such care into doing everything they could to heal my knee before rushing into surgery. I was concerned because this injury was quite unique I was worried I would t be able to find the right guy, but luckily I was able to get time with Dr. Ramkumar.

Dr Amandeep Bhalla is an amazing physician. He is curious and this translates into him asking the right questions. He is pensive and this translates into him finding the right medical path and the appropriate answer for the patient’s injury. Thanks for the care.
