Dr. Millstein is patient, thorough, and thoughtful in his approach. He spends the time to explain what your issues are and the options for solving them. I have had two completely successful surgeries in the past with him (achilles tendon and meniscus), yet with my current injury he is advocating non-surgical approaches first. Highly recommend.

The Dr was interested in my story of Why I was there, explained it detail his opinion of my MRI and very calmly gave me his recommendations… spent just enough time with me and definitely made the drive from Orange County worthwhile for me.

Dr Leonel Hunt is an excellent surgeon and he has a great staff! I was suffering from an excruciating pain due to a torn disc that was pinching my nerves. My husband had called many surgeons in order to make an appointment for a potential surgery and all have given him sometimes within 2 months of wait. His staff was very kind after my husband was explaining how much pain I am suffering to email him as they were talking over the phone to see if he can see me soon. I was in his office 5 days after! It was obvious that he had studied my MRI images before coming into the room because he knew what exactly was wrong with me and spotted the areas I was suffering with pain. His bed manner and presents and how involved he was with me throughout was remarkable. I am very grateful I picked and trusted him. I am 7 weeks post-op and feel amazing. Thank you so much Dr. Hunt!

DR MILLSTEIN DID A PHYSICAL EXAM AND ORDERED XRAYS AND A CAT-SCAN. THE NURSE CALLED WITH THE RESULTS: NOTHING WAS BROKEN OR OUT OF PLACE. BOTH OF MY SHOULDERS STILL HURT. B. Brae

Dr. Khurana is a very thoughtful listener who carefully considers all the treatment options when caring for his patients. When surgery is necessary he is very skillful and gives a clear picture of what to expect from the surgery itself and the postoperative course.

Professional & on time,

Dr. Esses was great. I hadn't even finished my paperwork when someone came to take me to my x-rays (super fast, although it was a Monday morning), after x-rays I was only waiting about 5 minutes before she came to see me. She offered professional advice from her years of experience and gave me the best guidance to move forward. Would highly recommend!

Couldn't have asked for a better experience. I had a labram tear in my right shoulder that inevitably needed surgery. Dr Millstein, Mariana (his assistant), & the whole surgery center staff was absolutely amazing!
Eric S. Millstein, MD
Dr. Estess is superb! I felt like I was in excellent hands. I appreciated her thoroughness and her good humor. She answered all my questions, and she laid out the next steps with clarity and conciseness. Her manner was straightforward, but although our session was brief, I never felt rushed. I look forward to continuing my treatment under her care!

Dr. Khurana and his team are very professional, thorough and communicative. They did a great job explaining the procedure I needed and managing me through the process.
Sanjay Khurana, MD
Amazing doctor. Top Notch! Extremely knowledgeable, informative and immediately gains your trust. The staff is professional, supportive and kind.

Yesterday was my first time meeting with Dr. Millstein, and the whole experience -- from making the appointment to checking in on line and in the office to the session with the Dr. and then working with his staff to set my surgery appointment -- was exactly how quality health care should work. The entire team is terrific, and Dr. Millstein himself made me feel like were were old friends. Despite being obviously very busy, I didn't feel rushed at all. He took the time to explain my diagnosis, the upcoming surgery and the recovery schedule, and he answered all of my questions. And his staff worked hard to try to squeeze the procedure into my own very complicated schedule. Very happy with my experience so far! wsf

Dr. Khurana and his Staff are an Exceptional and Professional Medical Team. Personable and Caring. Dr. Khurana is an excellent and knowledgeable surgeon. I had extensive spinal decompression and lower back fusion surgeries 6 months ago. My treatment and overnight stay at the LA Spine Surgery Center was 1st Class. I am healing exceptionally well and I am relatively pain free now. I am looking forward to getting back on the golf course soon. I highly recommend Dr. Khurana.
Sanjay Khurana, MD
I knew at hello Dr. Khurana was the surgeon for me. His impressive pedigree aside, he has the best bedside manner. When he speaks to you, his explanations are very detailed, and his demeanor is gentle and calm. I had my surgery during the lockdown, so when I woke up and saw Dr. Khurana standing there telling me the surgery went beautifully, it was so reassuring. I can’t thank Dr. Khurana enough.
Sanjay Khurana, MD
Dr Wassef is amazing! He gave me my life back! The Torrance office staff and PT were pleasant and professional too. I highly recommend him and his team
Andrew Wassef, MD
I am 7 days post op after a 3 level discectomy. I prepared as instructed: PT, attention to moderating activity symptoms and mentally prepare. I would never allow another surgeon to get near my spinal cord. The nursing care was specific to spinal injuries and top tier. I heard the words every patient longs to hear post op. "The surgery went beautifully". Today, I continue to improve and intend to have the mobility taken from me.
Sanjay Khurana, MD
Dr. Khurana solved my back and leg pain issues with surgery while other surgeons I consulted were unable to give me any confidence that I could be helped with surgery. I appreciated his friendly manner, his confidence and his exceptional talent as a surgeon. Office staff is also professional and friendly. I can’t recommend him highly enough.
Sanjay Khurana, MD
Dr. Milstein is one of the greatest doctors I've ever met. He is dedicated to his patients and has always been there to answer all of our questions, making sure we understand what the next step is. I highly recommend him for his level of expertise and wonderful bedside manner.
Eric S. Millstein, MD
Really helpful staff. Was in and out 45 minutes before my scheduled appointment time.
Sanjay Khurana, MD
He is very pelasen and honest and direct Like the hospitality and service
Christopher Combs, MD
I met Dr Bae in 2011, when he performed a hybrid fusion, including and artificial disc in my cervical. The surgery and whole experience was exceptional. Since then, Dr Bae has performed 3 of 5 spinal surgeries, from my thoracic to the lumbar. At anytime I had a problem, Dr Bae would review images and make sure I received the best of care. Since 2011, Dr Bae is not only my surgeon, he has become a friend. I can't express enough, the gratitude I have for Dr Bae, for what he has done for me and my family. He is, without a doubt, the finest and most caring and professional back surgeon in the country. Hands down - THE BEST!
