    Dr. R first visit after my one month surgery.
    Debbie Q.

    This review is long over due! How can I forget to give a shout out to my awesome neurologist, Dr. Moksha Ranasinghe and her staffs. Lower back problems returned and I had a very difficult time walking, standing, sitting, and laying down... total pain. Had a laminectomy L4 on 2016 sadly to say as the year progressed and aging comes with it, the problem came back with a vengeance. Checked in at ER, MRI performed, pain meds given and prescribed and referred back to my primary care to sending me to a neurologist which I checked out who this specialist is and met with her. She studied my history and we worked on a plan... physical therapy. PT was no longer helping. She explained treatment (pros and cons) versus surgery. I chose surgery and trusted her with my life because I still want to enjoy the best quality of living. She did laminectomy on my L4 ( she had to work in this section again because there was so much scarring from the last surgery), Laminectomy on my L5 and spinal fusion S1-L5, 6 screws and 2 rods. The surgery was a success and now in recovery. I am still under her care (physical Theraphy and 9 months of osteogenesis bone stimulator treatment) until she releases me making sure everything is well. Dr. Moksha Ranasinghe has expertise in treating spinal fusion, neck pain and spine problems, among other conditions. Kudos to her office staff who makes sure that my schedule appointments are followed and all the referred visits that Dr. Renanasinghe requires of my needs are done and met. Note: Please be patient when you visit with her... busy, Because she's the doctor you interact with and not a PA! She's the best! Thank you Dr. Renansinghe, her Hollywood Presbyterian surgical team, Irene and Viv (Montebello office staff) .... you all rock!!!!

    After the surgery: incision (gray patch), drain tube, white patch for pain.

    My mom was in pain for months due to the sciatic nerve, tried everything from heat/cold therapy, physical therapy, patches, meds, herbs, and pain got worst, day and night. Finally got referred to Dr. Ranasinghe and the day of the appointment, we almost couldn't make it due to the excruciating pain my mom had on her leg. Doctor mentioned two options but my mom thought surgery was the most effective one. My mom is 79 yrs old and we had some fear of the surgery and anesthesia but thank God, the doctor explained everything and she made us trust her. Her knowledge, professionalism, caring of patients, acting fast, and just being there for us made my mom smile and be pain free again. That day, she told me "if you drive your mom to emergency right now, at Hollywood Presbyterian, tell them I sent you, I can do the surgery if she is cleared by Monday". Her appt. Was Thursday. She knew what she was saying. Hospital staff and stay was amazing, her office staff is awesome because they care for you just like her. We went to her office today to check for stitches and everyone was so nice to us. It has been a blessing having her and her great team help my mom. May God bless you, Dr. Ranasinghe and give you all that you need to keep helping patients with their spine surgeries and needs.

    I have been seeing Dr. Lee for several years now. Dr. Lee is…read morevery caring and always takes the time to listen and answer all questions. I never feel like he is rushing me to see his next appointment. I have had two spine procedures so far and they have both helped tremendously. I highly recommend Dr. Lee and his very courteous staff.

    I am writing this review as a patient who has lived with serious back problems for many years -- so…read morelong, in fact, that at one point I even thought about becoming a doctor myself just to understand what was happening to my body. I have had back problems since I was 16 years old. Over the years, I visited countless doctors, chiropractors, and manual therapists, and I tried numerous devices and treatments for a herniated disc. Eventually, surgery became unavoidable. In 2022, I had my first back surgery with a different doctor. It went well, and I was able to return to my normal life. Unfortunately, after an injury, my same hernia came back. What followed were days of significant pain and sleepless nights after the injury. Fortunately, I was able to get an appointment within a few days, and Dr. Scott Lee immediately prescribed the right treatment to control the pain and stabilize my condition until the day of surgery. From the very first visit, Dr. Lee's professionalism, meticulous approach, and calm confidence immediately earned my trust. He carefully evaluated my condition, ordered updated MRI scans, and clearly explained the treatment options before choosing the best path forward. His manner was reassuring and thoughtful, which made a huge difference during such a stressful time. On the day of the surgery, something really stood out to me: the hospital staff were genuinely excited to be working with Dr. Lee. Everyone I interacted with spoke highly of his skills and reassured me that I was in excellent hands. They were absolutely right. The surgery went smoothly, without any complications. I was discharged about an hour later -- and unbelievably, I walked the very same day with no pain in my legs, feet, or back. That feeling was incredible and truly life-changing. Dr. Lee even personally called me after the surgery to check on my condition, scheduled follow-up appointments, and gave clear advice on recovery and post-operative care. This level of attention and care is exactly what patients hope for -- and rarely experience. I am deeply grateful for the entire process, from my very first call to the office to schedule an appointment, all the way through recovery. I would also like to give special thanks to the office staff, who were always supportive, responsive, and patient in handling my questions and requests. In conclusion, if you are looking for a spine specialist and are unsure where to go, don't hesitate -- go see Dr. Scott Lee. You will be thankful not only to him, but also to yourself for making the right choice.

    Let me tell you the story of the physician that saved my life. On a balmy day towards the end of…read moreApril, I had symptoms that required the skills of a neurosurgeon. The first spinal surgeon declined to operate on me as the site of surgery was too close to my brain stem involving my spinal cord. He referred me to his friend and that is how I got into contact with the neurosurgeon that saved my life, Dr. Erick Westbroek. I'm not sure why there is one disgruntled review on his Yelp page but nonetheless, I would like to speak accolades about his professional treatment of me with courtesy and respect. When he first examined me, I had a pretty serious medical problem that requires immediate surgical intervention. I'm talking about the kind that can lead to an occlusion of a vertebral artery could potentially cause induce a stroke. However, he was very calm and collected when he reviewed my medical notes and charts, knowing full well my medical condition even before I stepped into his office. Though he outlined the risks of the surgery, he spoke with a sense of reassurance that only someone who is confident in their skills can. I had my surgery within 2 weeks of initial consult with him due to the manner of my emergent medical condition. The day of surgery, he looked very relaxed and full of energy, ready to do my surgery. I was able to speak with him for a brief moment sharing how people of almost the entire orange county are praying for me and for him before the surgery. He made his surgical mark with a marker and before I knew what was happening after I was wheeled into the operating room, I was anesthetized. After what felt of only a minute, though the surgery lasted 6 hours, I woke up in the intermediate care unit where I had full use of my limbs again. As a physician, he restored my health. It was incredulous to believe. An ailment that I was afflicted with for several months was now abated. I could walk again! Not only that, I woke up to a new Pope elected after my surgery, Pope Leo. Furthermore, 2 of the nurses that visited and cared for me was my classmate and student. If that is not an uncanny coincidence, I don't know what is. I knew it was one of those where God provided Divine Providence. What a fitting name as the hospital where my life was saved... was owned by Providence. Thank you Dr. Westbroek for your consummate service to your patients. I would consider you a renown neurosurgeon in this county of Orange as there are few people with your subset of technical skills to operate at a precise level, restoring the health of the human body to its original function.
