It was really nice doctors office. The staff was amazing. I really enjoyed the x-ray Tech Khalil. Khalil made the visit less nerve-racking, and Dr. Lee was very patient and attentive in listening to everything that I was saying.

Dr. Ramkumar helped me during one of the most vulnerable and uncertain times of my life. As a 20-year-old college soccer player, tearing my ACL and meniscus and needing reconstruction with a patellar tendon graft right before my season was devastating. From my first appointment, I knew he was the right surgeon for me because of his dedication to sports medicine, his expertise, and the genuine care he showed throughout the process. He took the time to answer my questions, explain my options, and give me confidence when I was scared about the future. Today, I am 4 months post-op and proud to say that I am jogging again. It’s been an incredible blessing to have my surgery performed by Dr. Ramkumar. The entire team at Commons Clinic has been outstanding. Everyone is professional, kind, and encouraging. I also attend physical therapy right in the clinic, and the experience has been excellent. From the front desk staff to the physical therapists, including Mina, everyone has played a role in my recovery. I am determined to come back stronger than before, and I’m grateful I made the decision to trust Dr. Ramkumar and his team. This surgery has given me a second chance to live an active lifestyle—to run, cut, jump, compete, and do the things I love. That’s something I’ll never take for granted. Thank you, Dr. Ramkumar and the entire Commons Clinic team, for helping me get my life back.

After a frustrating experience with another orthopedic surgeon, meeting Dr. Estess was a complete breath of fresh air. From the start, she took the time to listen and ask thoughtful questions, not only about my injury but also about how I was doing mentally and emotionally. I never felt rushed, and I truly felt heard. Her bedside manner is calm, kind, and reassuring. She explained everything clearly, answered my questions, and gave me confidence and hope during a difficult time. Most importantly, I left feeling that I was in very capable hands. As I prepare for surgery, I have complete trust in Dr. Estess and her team. I am incredibly grateful to have found her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an orthopedic surgeon who is both highly skilled and genuinely compassionate.

I am a D1 athlete who had bilateral surgery almost 6 weeks ago with Dr. Ramkumar and my life has improved significantly. Two years ago I had hip surgery on my left hip however the surgery left me with the inability to play at the same level as before. Because of this decided to get another opinion when considering surgery for my right hip. Dr. Ramkumar was super open and helpful, he showed me what went wrong with my last surgery as well as helped fix my other hip. I am very happy I decided to go to Dr. Ramkumar and my hips are already feeling so much better.

Dr. Ramkumar and his team are truly outstanding! From the moment I arrived, they made me feel comfortable, supported, and confident that I was in the best hands throughout my procedure. Dr. Ramkumar is incredibly kind, gentle, and exceptionally skilled in his work. His entire team is professional, caring, and amazing at making patients feel at ease. I’m so grateful for the excellent care and compassion they showed me every step of the way throughout my surgery process.

I first came to see Dr. Ramkumar because I was doing heavy miles and experiencing some knee pain and hip fatigue. He quickly diagnosed that I needed a hip arthroscopy surgery that would alleviate the pain and the fatigue. He did an amazing job in surgery and I began PT the very next day. I attacked the rehab hard with his guidelines and after 3 months I’m back to running around 30 miles a week preparing for a marathon! Dr Ramkumar is so cool and has been amazing throughout the whole process. I put a lot of trust in him and he gave me a lot of confidence as well that I would be back and better. Thank you Dr Ramkumar!! Much love.

I had hip arthroscopy surgery with Dr. Ramkumar at Long Beach Lakewood Orthopedic Institute, and I could not be happier with my experience. Going into surgery, I was honestly a little timid and unsure of how good or bad the whole process could be, but everything went very smoothly and my healing has been going really well. Dr. Ramkumar, his nurse practitioner, and the entire staff were amazing throughout the process. They were thorough, supportive, and always took the time to answer questions and make me feel comfortable. You can genuinely tell they care about their patients and the outcomes they achieve. I also really appreciated having physical therapy onsite because it made recovery much easier and convenient. The whole team made me feel supported every step of the way. If you are dealing with hip or knee issues and want a doctor and team that truly care, I highly recommend Dr. Ramkumar and Long Beach Lakewood Orthopedicd Institute.

David Lee, MD
As a surgeon myself, I feel I am a sophisticated medical consumer. Superb care. Excellent Doc and Staff. Highly highly recommended.
Sanjay Khurana, MD
I was very impressed by the staff's helpfulness and pleasant, professional demeanor. The office has a new relaxing design feeling and is very clean. No long wait time and Dr. Bae took the time necessary to explain his observations and recomendations for treatment. He doesn't take medicare, but I guess if your that good, you don't need to.

After my daughter injured her knee, we spent months being told she just needed rest, but she never fully healed. Once an MRI was finally ordered, we met with a local orthopedic surgeon, but the experience felt rushed and lacked compassion. That’s when I started researching other options and came across Dr. Ramkumar. From our very first appointment, we knew we had made the right decision. Dr. Ramkumar was kind, patient, informative, and never once made us feel rushed or pressured into surgery. He took the time to thoroughly explain her ACL and meniscus surgery along with the recovery process, which gave us so much reassurance during a stressful time. Her recovery has honestly exceeded anything we expected. She was off crutches at 2 weeks, out of her brace at 4 weeks, and now 4 months post-op she continues to do incredibly well with minimal to no pain. His physical therapy team has also been amazing supportive, patient, and truly invested in her recovery. We gladly make the almost 3-hour commutes because Dr. Ramkumar and his entire team have been the perfect fit for my daughter. We are beyond grateful for the care, encouragement, and support they have given her throughout this journey.

Everything went smoothly and on time. The team is great and was very attentive and kind.
Michael Port, MD
I was referred to Dr Bhalla when I went into another Ortho for hip surgery. After an MRI revealed pinched nerve issue in my neck, (probably as a result of arthritis). Dr Bhalla listened well to my history. After reviewing my xrays and MRI, he explained things precisely. We've set up surgery. I'm looking forward to the results. AND, his staff also rocks! Great communications. Quick in getting stuff done. And of course, friendly.
