Three years ago, I had the privilege of being treated by Dr. Bae, and I truly cannot thank him enough. Before finding him, I had seen eight different doctors, all of whom turned me away due to the complexity of my condition. I was living in constant pain, feeling like I was out of options. From the very first consultation, Dr. Bae stood out. His confidence, deep expertise, and genuine care immediately gave me hope. He didn’t shy away from the challenge — instead, he clearly explained the path forward and made me feel I was in the best possible hands. Dr. Bae performed artificial disc replacement surgery on both my neck and lumbar spine. Today, three years later, I am thrilled to say that my pain is completely gone — 100%. It’s nothing short of life-changing. Thanks to Dr. Bae, I got my life back. I can work, travel, and enjoy activities I had once thought I’d lost forever. His skill as a surgeon, combined with his compassion and professionalism, is truly unmatched. If you are considering spine surgery, or feel like you’ve run out of options, Dr. Bae is the answer. He changed my life, and I will be forever grateful.

Hip Replacement So, your hip is hurting bad enough that you finally need to get it checked out, but you're not sure who to see. That was exactly the situation I found myself in. I knew I wanted a surgeon who specialized in the anterior approach rather than the posterior, since the recovery with the anterior method tends to have fewer limitations. While I was researching, I came across reviews for Dr. Prem Ramkumar. After looking into his training and current practice, it became clear that he was a standout in the field of hip surgeries. He was exactly the kind of doctor I was looking for—someone who used modern techniques to ensure the best possible outcomes. I made an appointment, and within two weeks, I was meeting with him. After reviewing my case, which included hairline fractures, arthritis, and bone-on-bone rubbing, Dr. Ramkumar agreed that I was a good candidate for a total hip replacement. We scheduled the surgery a couple of months out. During that time, I followed the instructions given by both Dr. Ramkumar and Long Beach Memorial. There were daily exercises—nothing too strenuous—but I’m sure they helped my recovery. When the big day arrived, I met with Dr. Ramkumar before the surgery. He reassured me that everything looked good and we were ready to go. Later that day, after the surgery, he came to check on me again to ensure everything was progressing as it should. I could tell he was genuinely invested in my case. That same day, I was able to walk to the restroom with a walker, use the toilet independently, and go up and down a few steps. By the end of the day, I was cleared to go home and was discharged. After the surgery, I stuck to the post-op exercises Dr. Ramkumar recommended. In the first week, I walked around the house and outside with a walker. After that, I graduated to using a cane. Now, almost three weeks post-surgery, I’m feeling fantastic. I’m walking two 1-mile walks a day and continuing with my exercises. I can’t recommend Dr. Ramkumar enough. His expertise made the entire surgery nearly pain-free, and I honestly can't believe how well I’m doing at this point in my recovery.

I went to Dr. Port regarding an injury I sustained at work. I was seen, given an MRI and had all the important information sent out to all associated parties. Dr. Port took time to explain the process and gave me a prognosis of how to improve my injury so that I could return to work as soon as possible. I’ve been very pleased with Dr. Port and highly recommend him and his staff.

My daughter & I visited Dr. Estess to take care of my daughter's ganglion cyst. From the moment we walked into the office, we experienced a warm, caring, and superior staff: everyone from assistants at the front desk, the x-ray technician, Dr Estess' assistant, and Dr. Estess' herself. Dr. Estess took the time to explain everything to my daughter and me and to offer care options. My daughter suffers from anxiety disorder and while she was anxious in the outer waiting room, once she met the x-ray tech her anxiety subsided. She remained relaxed throughout the rest of the visit. We are completely satisfied with the care my daughter received and highly recommend Dr. Estess and her staff.

Dr Allyson Estess is my new favorite MD... and I've seen a lot sadly. Open, informative pre op that made me feel both informed and safe. Incredible knee - ACL and meniscus tears - surgery, thorough, she went beyond to check everything in my knee and found a tear she wouldn't have seen if she hadn't made the extra effort. my scarring is tiny and very impressive - still healing but I don't think it'll be visible to the naked eye. and she's got a sense of humour - rare in surgeons.

Dr Allyson Estess is my new favorite MD… and I’ve seen a lot sadly. Open, informative pre op that made me feel both informed and safe. Incredible knee - ACL and meniscus tears - surgery, thorough, she went way beyond to check everything in my knee and found a tear she wouldn’t have seen if she hadn’t made the extra effort. my scarring is tiny and very impressive - still healing but I don’t think it’ll be visible to the naked eye. and she’s got a sense of humour - all too rare in surgeons. Surgery is easier to face with someone as talented as Dr Estess.

Dr. Michael Port truly setting the standard in patient care. It’s rare to find a doctor who not only listens, but really hears you. Dr. Port takes the time to understand concerns, answers every question with patience, and never makes you feel rushed. His calm, caring presence and attentiveness make all the difference. Am so so grateful to have someone who brings both heart and skill into every appointment and have been with me through all of each of my surgeries. Compassionate. Thorough. Present.

Excellent surgeon- had lower back surgery 13 months ago(anterior lumbar inter body fusion L-5 S-1) after experiencing severe pain. I am now pain free and back to enjoying normal activities. I highly recommend Dr. Bhalla.

Amandeep Bhalla, MD

Dr. Bae and his team were amazing, start to finish. It’s hard to believe that something as complex as Cervical Disc Replacement surgery could be handled so smoothly, and the fact that it was completely an outpatient procedure made it even more comfortable. I’m going to be recovering for a bit but I just had the surgery a week ago and I’m already feeling 200% better. Would definitely recommend Dr. Bae to anyone in need of this kind of procedure!

Had such a great experience with Dr Millstein and his group at the Commons Clinic. Everyone was so warm, and also efficient. No waiting, no wasted time. And everyone is just very nice. Dr Millstein is SO knowledgeable. He took time at our appointment to explain everything including next steps and a potential treatment plan. Would highly recommend.

Very friendly and professional office. Dr. Lee listened and made me feel comfortable with my diagnosis and treatment.

Every chance I get, I tell people about Dr. Prem Ramkumar. Here’s why. He masterfully replaced my left hip using the Anterior approach or entering from the front versus the posterior. Having replaced both hips, one by anterior and one by posterior, I officially know the difference. Dr. Ramkumar informed me that the Anterior method means fewer restrictions, less pain and quicker healing. He was right. OK, no one gets out of surgery pain-free, but if you take his advice and follow up with physical therapy (I love the team at the Long Beach Orthopedic Institute) you’ll be functioning in no time. Example: I was walking the first day and driving in a week. Turns out, there is more than one way to replace a hip. Find out what’s right for you. Dr. Ramkumar is specially trained in the Anterior approach. Not every surgeon is. Dr. Ramkumar has also operated on Olympic athletes. If I had a Gold medial, I’d give it to Dr. Ramkumar and his wonderful team. By the way, he’s also funny. Humor is the best medicine of all.

I was suffering terribly with neck pain for years and my last resort option was surgery. Prior to going to Dr. Bae my option was fusion of the discs in my neck that would limit my neck movement. Dr Bae offered another option that would give me complete mobility in my next that would not involve fusion. He spent a lot of time with me explaining the procedure and its previous successes. His staff was amazing as well. I am so happy with the results; no more pain or debilitating migraines and I now have complete flexibility of movement in my neck. Dr Bae has been a godsend and I would highly recommend him to anyone who is suffering from spinal issues.

Dr Kamrava really knows his stuff. Seems knowledgeable to me. Unfortunately I have stenosis in my cervical spine and we worked out a game plan as far as when we are doing the epidural. I also have issues with my low back that is next on the list. He gave me a lot of time on the initial visit, really listening. He even called me back after that visit to answer a few more questions. He also is kind.

Evish Kamrava, MD

Dr. Bae is very professional, yet down to earth, and comforting. Spinal surgery, in and of itself, is a rather daunting thought, but his expertise, thorough research of my case, and the way he explained the process, and recovery made my decision easy. Surgery has been scheduled, and I’m looking forward to having a healthy and working spine.

Hyun Bae, MD

Not enough room to say all of the great things Dr. Khurana and his staff have done for me in the last several years. Multiple lumbar fusions, decompressions, reinstumentations, revisions, cervical disc replacement, the continuing care to get me out of pain. It's an ongoing process with severe degenerative disc disease but every level, every surgery is done with extreme caution and care, keeping what's best for me always in mind. Good people here and I won't go anywhere else!!
