Dr. Bhalla did my back surger 7 years ago and I still feel great. New issue was diagnosed in minutes and treated successfully. I have recommended Dr. Bhalla to many friends and neighbors who have also had superlative results. I will continue to do so. His new office is easy to get to and very clean and friendly. I wouldn't say I look forward to going back ;) but I wouldn't hesitate when needed.

2 weeks ago I fell off my porch and broke my femur in 4 places, and destabilized my 2012 hip replacement. I was taken by LBFD to LB Memorial and evaluated by the ER doctor, who had referred me to the Orthopedic Trauma team. They called Dr. Ramkumar, as he was one of very few surgeons that could do such a complex surgery. I met Dr. Ramkumar in my hospital room, reviewed my xrays. He discussed potential complications of surgery, and that I had the right to seek other providers. I decided to continue with him. We discussed plans for surgery, aftercare, etc. Because of my meds, holiday scheduleand staffing, surgery was after July 4th. I was discharged 3 days post surgery, and went home with in home PT. 2 weeks post surgery and my staples are out, wound vac removed, out pt. PT to begin next week. I have nothing but good to say to this gifted surgeon and his team, in addition to the treatment team at LB Memorial.

Dr. Bae takes the time with you to give a full explanation of what is wrong and how to address the issues.. Incredible surgeon!!!!!! I am a 10 year patient of Dr.Bae, C4-C6 2 level disc replacement… Just did my follow up and the discs look perfect… All of his staff is just amazing!!!! Just make you feel welcome and relaxed…. I’m referring patients to him he just really is the spine expert…. I’m in music, I refer to Dr. Bae to my musician friends the Eddie Van Halen (Best guitar player) of the spine for his innovative techniques that are changing how everything is perceived on the spine…. Could not thank him enough…

I had a ACL and MCL replacement. I did a hamstring ligament with the bone marrow and the procedure went very smooth. The office was very professional, very friendly, and so far the recovery has been amazing. I can't recommend these people enough. I had the same surgery done back in 1992. And what a difference and how far technology has come. I would just like to say thank you to the entire staff for making this as pleasant as possible.

Dr. Prem Ramkumar performed FAI hip arthroscopy on me, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. I come from a combat sports background - Muay Thai, BJJ, grappling, and powerlifting - and years of that caught up with my hips. What I want people to know is that this surgery exists. A lot of athletes get told hip pain is just wear and tear, something to live with or manage until a replacement down the line. That’s not the only option. Hip arthroscopy for FAI is a real, minimally invasive procedure, and finding a surgeon who specializes in it makes all the difference. Dr. Ramkumar explained exactly what was happening in my joint, was realistic about recovery timelines, and clearly understood the demands athletes place on their bodies. I’m scheduled to have the other side done with him - which says everything. If you have hip pain that won’t resolve, get it looked at properly instead of delaying.

I had an ACL revision + meniscus repair with Dr. Ramkumar 7 months ago and had a great experience. Due to my previous knee surgery (done elsewhere) this surgery was more complex, but Dr. Ramkumar was able to get everything fixed at once. I was completely off crutches after about 2 weeks, much faster than my last surgery. Overall I’d highly recommend Dr. Ramkumar!

I am 66 years old and played and enjoyed competitive sports my entire life up until 3-4 years ago. My left knee pain was consistently keeping me from enjoying things that contributed to my overall happiness and wellbeing. My wife and I could not longer bicycle or walk together as we always did due to my knee pain. My primary care physician referred me for X-ray and MRI, which resulted in me promptly being diagnosed with severe osteoarthritis of the left knee. I was then referred to Dr. Ramkumar and his team for physical therapy and evaluation. While the physical therapy did not resolve my arthritis, it was a great step in the right direction and I am very thankful to have met Dr. Ramkumar and his entire team. After 10 physical therapy sessions, I decided to proceed with total knee replacement after re-viewing imaging and treatment plans again. Within 10 minutes, he explained that my meniscus was completely torn and the cartilage in my knee was eroded and non-existent! He recommended a total knee replacement and explained in detail the preparation, surgery itself, recovery, and answered any and all questions I had. I was scheduled for surgery and was emailed information including emails of the process. I participated in an online zoom call with a registered nurse, who further explained my surgery and peri-operative recovery extensively. I was very informed about the things i would need like ice packs, medications, and more! My surgery was on 5/26/26 and I was walking the same afternoon and went home the same day which is a blessing. The first night I had difficulty sleeping as I had reluctance taking the prescribed pain medications, but after taking pain mediations the next day, my pain was managed and I slept perfectly. After the second night, I no longer needed any narcotic pain relief. I also began at home physical therapy on day 2 and I worked diligently to get my life back. Working hard paid off big time! After my 2 post-op surgery appointments with Dr. Ramkumar, I was cleared to drive and resume normal activities. It has been less than 2 months since surgery and now I can walk miles at a time, bicycle miles at a time, and swim as long as I desire. Thank you so much to Dr. Ramkumar and his team, everyone of them works cohesively together and answers any and all of my questions and concerns. They helped to make my surgery and recovery seamless and successful. While I hope to never need no additional surgery, Dr. Ramkumar will be my first call if I ever begin having trouble in my right knee and I have no hesitations that he is the perfect man for the job! I have already referred him to my personal friends and would not hesitate to continue referring him to anyone I know. I am back to all activities and excited to have my life back with no pain, as all my expectations from before surgery were exceeded. - R. Stuver.

I received exemplary care from Dr. Ahn and his staff. After years of treatment we decided surgery was the next best option. Dr. Ahn performed the procedure and I underwent months of occupational therapy. The results are my surgically repaired right thumb is now stronger than the left! Needless to say I am 💯 percent satisfied with the results. I’m heading to the driving range ⛳️to finally begin hitting some golf balls again! Thank you Dr. Ahn!

I had a hip arthroscopy surgery. I spent months in pain with no signs of recovery while playing soccer until I met Dr. Ramkumar. The surgery went well, the recovery time was good. The office was always paying attention to any needs. The Doctor was great and changed my life for the better. My hip problem is 100% gone and I feel rejuvenated.
