Dr. Bae, his staff Bernadette and August are the most exceptional caring people. I can’t express enough gratitude in the care they have given me during and after my successful spine surgery, C3, C4. I was able to function almost like normal the next day, minus not lifting anything heavy during recovery. Since then, I have another bulging disc in another area and that was painful and they’ve helped treat the issue right away. Dr. Bae is an incredible surgeon and he has a phenomenal staff! !

Beautiful new facility for the Commons Clinic and I really adore my specialist-surgeon, Dr. Eric Millstein, Orthopedic Surgeon. I saw Dr. Millstein couple of years ago with numerous sports injuries and previous surgeries. I found him to be the kindest most empathetic doctor. Importantly, he has strong medical knowledge, excellent communication skills, and the ability to show empathy and compassion towards his patients. He has kept me from panicking about needing further surgeries, which to me, is everything.

My name is Gretchen and in March 2025 Dr Prem Ramkumar performed a full knee replacement on me. And here I am 4 months later and I'm walking and biking! I first saw Dr Ramkumar in December 2024, I had been having serious knee issues and pain for about 6 months. After a lot of research around the internet I came across his website. Upon meeting Dr Ramkumar I felt comfortable. He is easy to talk to and gives you clear and concise answers. He laid out my options and told me to think about. He directed me to his comprehensive website which includes and hour by hour breakout of the operation, all medications and when they are to be administered. in addition the site includes details of when you are to start bending, straightening and walking. Along with when you start therapy. I returned 2 weeks later with questions which he answered. As in the first appointment he didn't put any pressure me to get the operation, he stressed that was my decision. I'll be honest, i was terrified. I was convinced that I would not be able to do the PT and it would be a disaster. It's funny, he kept telling me he knew I would be able to handle it. I had the operation March 2 at Long Beach Memorial, and was up and about on the 3rd. I was still afraid I would not be able to do the PT at home. The hospital staff could not have been better. The PT folks walked me through every movement I would have to make at home (in/out of bed, on/off toilet, up and down the stairs) until I was comfortable I could do it! Went home the next day and PT began coming to my house the same week. And I have never looked back! Could not recommend him more! G. lewotsky long beach CA

I was in constant pain from a pinched nerve root in my cervical spine and was told by multiple Drs that they wanted to fuse and cage my neck. After meeting with Dr Khurana he told me that he could help me with a disc replacement instead of fusing and caging my neck. I am going on 8 weeks since my surgery and i finally have my life back. the whole staff and the team that took care of me are beyond amazing. thank you Dr Khurana!!!!!

You want a surgeon that exudes confidence and that describes Dr. Bhalla perfectly. After looking at my MRI we were scheduling surgery the very next day. I went over a year with sciatica pain and now I am pain free. I can't tell you how happy I am with the overall experience with Dr. Bhalla and his entire staff! Cheers!

Post surgery follow up visit. Was seen in a timely manner and given ample time with Dr. Khurana without the feeling of rushing to his next patient.

I'm writing to share my incredibly positive experience with Dr. Prem Ramkumar, an orthopedic surgeon specializing in hip replacements. My journey to finding him began with a concerning visit to my regular orthopedist, Dr. Vance Eberly. After months of increasing hip pain, and having reached my target weight for surgery, X-rays revealed the extent of the damage was beyond Dr. Eberly's scope of practice. This led to my referral to Dr. Ramkumar. Initially, I sought out a surgeon specializing in the anterior approach to hip replacement, a method known for its faster recovery and reduced limitations. My own research, combined with Dr. Eberly's recommendation, pointed me towards Dr. Ramkumar. His impressive credentials and overwhelmingly positive patient reviews confirmed he was the right choice. From my first consultation, I was impressed by Dr. Ramkumar's thoroughness. He took detailed X-rays, patiently explained the complexities of my condition, and clearly outlined the surgical procedure he proposed. His calm and reassuring demeanor greatly eased my anxieties. He confirmed that I was an ideal candidate for a total hip replacement, and we scheduled the surgery. The surgery itself was approximately four to five hours long, followed by a night of understandably significant post-operative pain. However, Dr. Ramkumar's dedication extended beyond the operating room. He visited me the following day, demonstrating genuine concern for my progress. Remarkably, by the second day post-op, I was already ambulating to the bathroom with a walker and managing stairs independently – prompting my discharge that same day. Following his precise post-operative instructions, including a tailored physical therapy program outlined on his website and meticulously executed by his skilled therapist, my recovery exceeded all expectations. Eighty-eight days post-surgery, I’m now walking one to two miles daily and continuing my rehabilitation exercises with continued strength and mobility gains. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Ramkumar. His expertise, coupled with his compassionate approach, made the entire process significantly less daunting than I anticipated. The nearly pain-free surgery and astonishingly rapid recovery are testaments to his surgical skill and commitment to patient care. If you are facing a hip replacement, I urge you to consider Dr. Ramkumar. He truly is exceptional. Sincerely, M. Colasurdo

It was a long surgery on fusing L4/L5 and several other corrections. The result was so successful that I was walking the next day. After four months now, I am walking much more than before without any pain. Physical therapy and support team instructions were very helpful. I recommend Dr. Khurana to everyone having lower back pain.

Eric S. Millstein, MD
One of the best spine surgeons I've dealt with. He told me he can definitely improve the quality of my life, which he did!!! I had a 2 level cervical disc repacement almost 8 years ago, and there are no issues to date!!! His positive energy is infectious, so glad I had Dr Bae as my surgeon!!!
Hyun Bae, MD
I so appreciated that I was able to see Dr. Millstein himself to discuss my knee concerns. I had previously tried to see another top knee surgeon and was "blown off" by his Physician's Assistant. Dr. Millstein thoroughly discussed options for my old shattered kneecap injury and how to live my best life pain-free. His conservative approach meant I didn't need knee replacement surgery at this point. He and his staff are kind and caring and I will continuing treatment with him as needed.
