I unfortunately had a series of lumbar procedures with the last two being very problematic. I was referred to Dr Brandon Ortega by my primary physician. It was the luckiest day I’ve had with regards to my lumbar issues. Dr Ortega performed a combination anterior and posterior lumbar fusion with vascular surgeon Wang Teng and the results of their collaboration have been amazing. Dr Ortega is knowledgeable professional and top tier in his field as my results confirm. His dedication to his patients is sincere, there’s an impressive authenticity to his commitment to his patients. Always patient and available for questions and always concise and accurate with his answers. His skill and integrity will allay any anxieties a patient may be experiencing. You will be assured that his driving focus is the the patient’s best resolution to their condition. I recommend him to anyone that requires help with orthopedic issues. You will be impressed and sure that you have made the best decision in your health care journey.

Dr. Estess has the best bed side manner and she is a very proficient surgeon. She is wonderful and took great care of my precious mom with her hip surgery. We are grateful for her.

Dr Millstein was very nice. He made me comfortable and explained everything well. All of the support staff were also very nice and knowledgeable. Excellent experience!

Brett is an easy young guy that gets to you to want to try every way possible to get better. It's obvious he takes good notes on every session and reviews those notes just before the session starts.

From my initial consultation, it is clear why Dr. Hyun Bae is a pioneer in minimally invasive spine surgery. Unlike other surgeons I've had and consulted with who default to spinal fusion, Dr. Bae’s approach is rooted in motion preservation. He took the time to explain the mechanics of my spinal condition, using clear visuals to show exactly where the compression is occurring.

Very professional

Dr. Ramkumar performed my knee replacement in December 2023, and I am incredibly grateful for the level of care and precision he provided. From my first consultation through recovery, his depth of medical knowledge, surgical skill, and attention to detail were evident at every step. He explained the procedure, risks, and recovery process clearly and thoroughly, which gave me complete confidence going into surgery. What truly sets Dr. Ramkumar apart is his compassion and ethics—he genuinely cares about his patients as people, not just cases. His response time is exceptionally quick, and he is very easy to get in touch with, which made a stressful process feel manageable and supported. Thanks to his expertise, my outcome has been excellent, and my quality of life has significantly improved. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Ramkumar to anyone considering knee replacement or orthopedic care.

This was my second procedure with Dr. Port and once again his care was incredible. His attention to detail and follow up goes above and beyond the norm. You won’t find a more empathetic professional who truly cares for his patients well being.
Michael Port, MD
Dr Port and his staff are truly incredible. They helped me when I was in severe pain on short notice. Dr Port is highly skilled - I needed a unique injection and every professional pointed me his way. Not only is he amazing at his job but he and his staff have top rate bed side manner and make you feel like a VIP. Look no further, he is your Dr.
Michael Port, MD
Excellent care and explanation of the anesthetic plan. Dr Port is a skilled and knowledgeable doctor with a great bedside manner. I would highly recommend him.

How do you get 2 disks replaced in your neck and have no pain? I have had more painful manicures. Amazing. I had no downtime and virtually no pain from the surgery. Thank-you Dr. Bae
Hyun Bae, MD
I don't usually do reviews, but I figured someone might benefit from this. Dr. Combs handled my father's total knee replacement, and I noticed that he did so with professionalism, and care not often found in the medical field. Often times, as I'm sure many can relate, MD's are pressured to get in as many patients in and out of the office, as such their level of attentiveness and display of care towards their patients is sometimes lacking (to say the least). This was not the case with Dr. Combs. So when I came down with a partial ACL tear while playing basketball, Dr. Combs talked me through the reality of the injury, and steps forward. To make a long story short, I had a torn meniscus, and partially torn ACL - and I was a very-serious-now-recreational basketball player (if that makes sense), so this was a big set back in terms of my ability to play freely and to the best of my ability. I opted to just fix the meniscus - even though in hindsight, I realize Dr. Combs essentially said it's probably best to do both meniscus and ACL at the same time - I still decided to resort to Rehab to address my partially torn ACL. Long story short, I eventually tore the ACL completely, and came back to Dr. Combs, and he performed my ACL Reconstruction surgery. What I appreciate the most in this whole process, was that Dr. Combs didn't push me to initially have the surgery, given he saw my initial adverseness towards it - given the long process of recovery. He professionally laid out the paths I can take, gave me his opinion, and left me to make the decision. I didn't feel that he viewed me as $$$, and that he had my well-being, mental and physical, in mind - and this makes the entire doctor-patient experience worth while in my opinion. The post surgery process has been great, All Thanks to God, and then the professional work of Dr. Combs. I personally, would highly recommend Dr. Combs.

Dr. Estess was beyond professional and with a great bed side manner.
Allyson Estess, MD
My experience at the clinic, and this was the first time I was there and the first time I met Dr Eric Millstein was uplifting, inspiring, spiced by a fantastic sense of humor, full openness and a feeling of complete trust, sharing the same perspectives and met an open minded doctor, extremely knowledgeable, and I actually felt like a butterfly when leaving the clinic. We discussed the problem, agreed on the future decision I would have to make about a surgery, but no pressure and no gambling, he decided to send me to an MRI, just to make sure it wasn’t worsened since the previous MRI Thank you, Dr Eric Millstein and the whole staff
Eric S. Millstein, MD
Great Doctor and staff. I was seen in a timely manner, and the Doctor explained the procedures and answered all my questions.

Meeting with Dr Khurana was insightful. He explained The intricacies of What I would possibly be going through. Unfortunately he did say it was not a surgery that he could do but he referred me to an excellent surgeon and I’m currently in communication with him Dr. Kim at Cedar Sinai.
Sanjay Khurana, MD
I was so fortunate to find Dr.Kamrava! He is knowledgeable and kind. He took time to talk to me about my conditions. He made very helpful suggestions. This is the second time in nine years I have needed him for the natural results of C-spine surgery. I only needed one visit with him nine years ago. I was cured! I really appreciate him and thank him. Did I mention he is kind and has a great sense of humor?
Evish Kamrava, MD
