This doctor actually cares about his patients. Even though I still have pain in my neck but that is understandable since I had 3 discs replaced.
Sanjay Khurana, MD
Dr Khurna and his staff are always looking in the best interests of his patients. Especially, his Assistant Nurse Elaine. She is smart and beautiful.

Great experience. Excellent staff, highly knowledgeable and very friendly. Doctor Millstein is so a gentle and nice person. And of course he does a good job and so professional. His staffs all as sweet as his and so patient to explain everything to you.

I went to Dr. Bhalla because of nerve pain resulting from bulging disks. He was honest with me about my options moving forward after trying steroids & PT. He didn't pressure me into surgery, but gave me real options. I'm so grateful I trusted his experience and knowledge because I'm now pain free and feeling great! He is always kind and sincere and greets me with a warm smile. The care and concern for his patients is evident in his demeanor. I will forever be grateful for how he helped me. Thank you, Dr. Bhalla! You're the best!

Dr. Bhalla is the BEST! He's kind and sincere and makes you feel like you're his only patient. No pressure to have surgery, just wants people to feel better. He gave me options and I'm so grateful I chose surgery (ACDF) - pain free and feeling great! Thanks Dr. Bhalla!

Before Dr Bae I had seen 4 other back dr's. All told me I had stenosis in my L3-L5 region. All told me I would need fusion. I went through this over a 6 year period. I refused fusion since It would debilitate me for life. One of the earlier Dr's began to perform newer, minimally invasive procedures when a friend who happens to be a anesthesiologist told me to go see Dr Bae. I saw Dr Bae in Nov of 2016. I was more than impressed when he told me I did not need fusion. A Lumbar Laminectomy was his prognosis. I saw Dr Bae again in Jan of 2017. Surgery was scheduled for May 2017. Over the 4 month waiting period things changed and the procedure was changed. Still a Laminectomy but now 2 - 6" Carbon Fiber Rods and a titanium spring would also be implanted. May 15 2017 I went in at 1:30 pm for Surgery. I was in my hospital room at 6:30pm. At 6:30am the next morning I was walking up and down the hallways. I was released 2 days later. 3 weeks later I was back doing light work. Recovery was amazing. I was able to walk 1/4 mile at first, then 1/2 mile and finally a full mile. My only mistake was not going to PT when I was told to. A few issues but 4 weeks later I was a champ again. Dec 2017 I did a 2 mile walk/hike through the desert. I continued to improve. longer walks. less fear about having to park too far away to a store entrance. Sept 2018 I did a 8.5 mile hike through Malibu creek in 3 hours. I could not remember when I was able to go a distance like that with no pain. Dr Bae can be cold. However he was the warmest and patient man when it came to explaining everything to my wife. Before the surgery he made all the time needed. Lisa can be short. But they do care. The whole office staff cares. Amazing surgeon.

Dr. Bhalla has been so kind and patient in treating our sons pars fracture! His knowledge of this injury has helped our son and us as a family recover. We are so grateful for all he has done and our waterpolo star is finally able to get back in the pool thanks to Dr. Bhalla.

Dr Millstein is the best. He takes his time to listen and understand your issues. For the time he is with you, you are important and valued. He never pushes any procedure. After my full knee replacement , every physical therapist and occupational therapist I saw commentated on what a great job he did on the surgery which allowed me to recover properly. I have friends who had the same surgery with different doctors and they are unable to perform as well as I can. Dr Millstein did that. !

Eric Millstein is magical! I saw 5 doctors before going to him for a shoulder replacement. All doctors, including Eric said that the recovery is about 85%. I'm no spring chicken (nearly 70), very active and athletic, riddled with arthritis and I have had a 110% recovery! Yes! I have FULL range of motion. He is brilliant and a masterful technician. I am incomplete awe of him. I couldn't find my last review but that one too was filled with idol worship. I wish he could fix every part of my body that needs fixing!!!!!!!!

Although nobody ever wants to have surgery, especially on their neck. I had a 2 level fusion C5-C7 in October of 2018. I could not be more happier than I am today. Dr. Bhalla, is truly the best spine surgeon around!!! His knowledge of the spine, skills, bedside manner, respect, and concern for his patients is above and beyond! I would recommend him to ANYBODY!!! Thank you Dr. Bhalla for everything!
Amandeep Bhalla, MD
Dr Millstein is very nice and genuinely cares about his patients. The wait time was way too long. His office help are not overly friendly.
Eric S. Millstein, MD
This being the first encounter I was pleased with the thoroughness and straight forward explanation of my probable condition and the proposed course of action.

Dr. Bhalla is awesome!! I have several issues with my back, my left arm, and shoulder where bothering me in a serious way. I went in to get my shoulder looked at, Dr Thai referred me to Dr. Bhalla. My symptoms showed I had some type of neck injury. Less than a week after my MRI Dr. Bhalla discovered I had several damaged discs in my neck which created pressure on the nerves causing some paralysis in my left arm and hand. Dr. Bhalla replaced three discs in my neck and fused 4 vetebrae together with a cage. The surgery was done late afternoon evening, I was walking the next day at 8:00 am. I was home by 9/10 in the morning. 7 months later I am doing Great with this part of my spinal injuries. Jason and all the other physical therapists are also awesome! I have been to countless facilities over the years for my injuries this is best place you are going to find as far as I’m concerned to get fixed. Donald Demoray

I worship this man! He is a brilliant doctor AND a brilliant technician. I met with 4 other doctor and was told I would be lucky to have 85% flexibility and movement of my shoulder. I'm no spring chicken and I'm very active. I'm now 100%! Even he is amazed with his own results. He is as humble as they come.
Eric S. Millstein, MD
Competent doctor. She patiently explained my possible diagnosis and treatment plans after some diagnostics.
Allyson Estess, MD
Dr Millstine and his entire staff were outstanding in the consideration and compassion shown for my mother, Emma Woodfork. In a time when it can be lacking, it's refreshing to see that kindness and compassion still matter. Our experience made our drive from San Diego - Del Mar to L.A. well worth it! We would highly recommend Dr. Millstine for his competency and kind disposition. Sincerely, The Woodfork Family
