Dr. Millstein is an amazing person, especially for a surgeon. He is personable, friendly and east to relate to. Also a great surgeon. I had a knee replacement with him and 6 months later, my knee is as good as new.

Dr. Lee is friendly, courteous, and competent. He provides plenty of time, is not in a rush. I trust him, and would recommend him.

I have been a patient for the past many years having been treated for a variety of back issues all requiring surgery and pain management. I have had the good fortune to be treated by Dr. Robert Bray and Dr Michael Port. More recently Dr Port saw me related to pain management, all is going according to plan. Over the many years interacting with physicians and staff from intake throughout the process and discharge, all was executed with the outmost patient care and professionalism. With Gratitude, Arny Porath

I recently had a total knee replacement performed by Dr. Prem Ramkumar, and my results have been amazing and I’m very pleased with the recovery one month in. Dr. Ramkumar was incredibly professional kind and very patient with me along with his entire staff through all my questions throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Dr. Ramkumar to anyone who is considering knee replacement surgery

I can’t say enough great things about Dr. Ramkumar and his entire team! From my very first appointment through surgery and recovery, I was in great hands and felt truly cared for. Not only is Dr. Ramkumar meticulous and skilled with the actual surgery, he and his team are kind, professional, knowledgeable, and experienced in all that they do. I couldn’t ask for a better surgical team! They took the time to explain everything and made me feel confident every step of the way. They were responsive and thorough when I had any questions or concerns - you can tell they genuinely care about their patients. I initially injured my knee in January and had two subsequent injuries before I finally got an MRI in July that confirmed a full ACL tear. I had done a number on my knee. I was beginning to feel defeated because I am a pretty active person and wasn’t able to do the activities that I love, like CrossFit and volleyball. Once I met with Dr. Ramkumar, I immediately knew he was the surgeon for me. He empathized with my concerns of wanting to get back to my active lifestyle, gave me hope that I would be able to get back to it, and built my confidence in getting the surgery. My full ACL repair (BTB patellar graft) and meniscus root repair went smoothly and my recovery has been going amazingly so far. I’m already feeling stronger just 4 months post op and am so excited to eventually get back to my pre op activity levels. Many people are amazed by my progress! The pain was minimal even immediately after surgery, which was a pleasant surprise. Choosing Dr. Ramkumar was one of the best decisions I could have made and I would 100% recommend him to anyone needing orthopedic care, especially athletes.

I appreciated the level of detail Dr Lee went to to determine if I needed surgery. He has a gentle manner and was thorough.

Just so happened to stumble upon this clinic and get scheduled with the soonest available appointment and it was with Dr Ramkumar, I am so blessed. Being an athlete, I was training for a half marathon when my knees didn’t feel right..shortly thereafter my pain transferred to my hip, resulting in the diagnosis of a bilateral hip impingement, Dr Ramkumar’s expertise. Surgery has always been my last resort, but once Dr Ramkumar went over the explanation clearly and concisely, I felt that I was in good hands and immediately decided to pursue with the arthroscopic surgery. He explained my diagnosis in simple human terms that allowed it easy to understand and made sure all of my questions were answered. I was honestly amazed by how smoothly everything went and how quickly I healed, which truly speaks to his precision and skill in the operating room. Beyond being an incredibly talented surgeon, Dr. Ramkumar is also such a light-hearted, kind human who genuinely cares about his patients as people, not just cases. He took the time to listen to my story, understand my goals as an athlete, and support me every step of the way. He is such a caring surgeon, if not the most caring surgeon I’ve had, from pre-op to post op appointments, it’s always a joy to be in his clinic.

Evish Kamrava, MD
I. Thought Dr. Millstein was wonderful. I like a surgeon who considers other options beside a big surgery. He was thoughtful, explained other options and said each procedure is up to me. I thought he was just ehat I was looking for in a surgeon.
Eric S. Millstein, MD

My recovery from partial R knee surgery was no less than miraculous. - 90 degrees bend in 3 days - Walker to Cane 4 days - 125 degrees 9 days - 144 degrees 14 days - bike riding under 2 months From initial diagnosis through post surgery and physical therapy; they have kept me informed and engaged in a well coordinated process of treatment and recovery. I am a 72 year old active hiker/biker/bowler and former commercial diver/gymnast. That said, I have had 9 orthopedic surgeries. 2 back fusion, work on both shoulders, both knees, both hands and (L) foot. Long Beach Surgery Center is my standout favorite facility. The Staff makes you feel like you matter. Their OR is cheerful (until Anesthesia kicked in, I was surrounded by smiles, music and friendly competent professionals.). I received daily text links with checklists, tutorials and pics of daily PT work via the “FORCE” system. This high level of engagement fostered incredible success. Hope this is my last surgery. But if not, The Commons Medical Group and Long Beach Surgery Center is my go-to choice. Thank you Doctor Ramkumar and the excellent staff. And especially the Physical Therapy team. Best G. Davis

First time having surgery and the whole staff made me feel so comfortable and relaxed. Was still scared but ready to do it
Allyson Estess, MD
I loved Dr Bhalla what a nice young doctor! Explained everything nicely
Amandeep Bhalla, MD
I really like this Ortho doc. She’s obviously an athlete and understands how important it is to return to favorite activities. I would recommend Dr Estess to anyone.
Allyson Estess, MD
I can honestly say I’ve never had a more pleasant experience while dealing with a Doctors office. From the original scheduling calls to meeting with Dr Bae everyone has been kind and professional. I believe you can tell alot about a Doctor (or any employer) by the attitude of their staff. Everyone I’ve spoken to or met (including Dr Bae) have been very upbeat. It seems like the entire staff is happy to be there and to care for you as a person and patient. I got stuck in traffic on the way in from LaQuinta. Called the office to let them know and was told not to worry they’d see me when I arrived. Spent maybe 5 min waiting on arrival. Once in the room I had 1 nurse, 1 nurse practitioner enter immediately and Dr Bae with in minutes. Because of this efficiency I was back on the road within the hr. Dr Bae and his team explained my problems and came up with a plan they I totally agree with. I finally feel like my problems can and will be fixed. Looking forward to being able to finally move forward.
