I had an issues in my left shoulder that generated pain down to my left elbow as well as down to my left scapula. Pain meds didn’t help. They only lower the intensity. I saw my Orthopedic Surgeon whose specialty is knees and shoulders. His diagnosis was an impingement of the shoulder. After physical therapy treatments and other non-surgical remedies, nothing stopped the pain. I was told I had a neck problem. He referred me to Dr. Bhalla, a Spine Surgeon. I felt he must be pretty damn good if a known Surgeon was recommending another known Surgeon. After a thorough exam that included an MRI, his diagnosis was a herniated disc in my neck that was resting on a nerve. I inquired of the options. He said none, unless you can live with the pain. He said check the internet or other doctors and let me know what you find. I did and found no conflicts. Dr. Bhalla performed surgery on the spine of my neck through an incision under my chin. After an over night stay in the hospital, I was discharged and haven’t had an ounce of pain since the surgery including pain from the surgery itself.

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!

I had pain for quite some time and couldn’t shake it. Tried every kind of muscle relaxant, pain killer, anti-anxiety med, weekly acupuncture, chiropractor, yoga, and lost 20 pounds. My right leg and back hurt EVERYDAY and eventually the leg went numb making it hard to balance. On the recommendation of a co-worker, I met Dr. Bhalla. Tall, handsome, great smile. His promise: ‘we’re gonna work together to get you better.’ We did everything possible to avoid the “s” word, but I was getting worse. Not his first suggestion, but the final, inevitable decision was a lumbar laminectomy L4-L5 posterior lumbar instrumented fusion L4-L5. Nervous as I was, I trusted Dr. Bhalla. I came through the surgery with some pain, less than two days later, I went home. Two days later I could walk slowly to the restroom with no assistance getting up. Everyday, yes EVERYDAY, I progressed. I felt so much better, By a week and a half, I walked a 1/4 mile, then 1/2 mile and now I do a mile every other day. I’m back at work after being off just seven weeks. No restrictions. From Dr. Bhalla to the receptionists, the secretaries, nurses, X-ray, MRI, housekeeping, and the schedulers, everyone has been kind, courteous, informative, trustworthy, empathetic, friendly, responsive, patient, had great bedside manner, honest and great listeners. No more pain on the weaker (right) leg. I’d say I’m a success! And the bonus, I get a smile and the same care from Dr. Bhalla with every follow-up visit.”

“Dr. Bhalla is an outstanding surgeon! He is not only highly skilled and knowledgeable, but compassionate and understanding. Dr. Bhalla stepped in to repair my C3-T1 posterior fusion done 6 months earlier by another surgeon. The C3 screw had backed out, others were loose, and I was in a lot of pain.

Having had 3 neck surgeries already, I was devastated, but I am so happy that I listened to my gut and had Dr. Bhalla do the revision surgery. From the pre-surgical tests, meeting with family members, to post surgery care and follow up visits, Dr. Bhalla made a very scary and difficult situation better. Everything about this surgery was easier and less painful. I am 6 months post surgery and my construct is solid! Dr. Bhalla has been so supportive every step of the way. I feel so fortunate that I found him, and my only wish is that it had been sooner.”

I can’t say enough about the spine surgery that Dr. Bhalla did for me on March 20, 2017. At our first meeting, he went over my MRI with me and explained the problem I was having. He recommended surgery as the only way to relieve the pain I was having, so we set up the surgery for March 20, 2017. I was not looking forward to surgery, as I had spine surgery 4 years earlier and still remember the pain and problems I had during the recovery period. My surgery was done at Memorial Hospital, prior to surgery I attended a spine surgery class and toured the new 4th floor spine, hip and knee rooms, all of which are single rooms. I also met Maria, the physical therapist for the floor. The surgery took a couple of hours and I was soon in my room recovering, I was encouraged to dress in my own clothes, and Maria came by and encouraged me to get up and walk, which I am sure helped my recovery, Long story short, Dr. Bhalla did a wonderful job, he put me at ease and I am doing great, two weeks after the surgery, I am walking with no pain. I highly recommend Dr. Bhalla to anyone who needs spine surgery.
