    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Her knowledge, professionalism, caring of patients, acting fast, and just being there for us made my mom smile and be pain free again. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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"[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Her appt. Was Thursday. She knew what she was saying. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Hospital staff and stay was amazing, her office staff is awesome because they care for you just like her.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We went to her office today to check for stitches and everyone was so nice to us.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

    Dr. Lee changed my life. I went to him in February 2026 as a second opinion on a herniated disc…read more(L5/S1) that was pressing on my sciatic nerve and causing sever left leg pain. Prior to that appointment, I was in PT for 2 months which only made the pain worse and then received an epidural shot from a pain physician. The epidural shot wore off after 6 weeks and the pain came back in mid-March 2026 worse and persistent. I made the decision to get a microdiscectomy and got it done on April 21, 2026. Dr. Lee and his office is very professional. He takes his time and answers every question I had about the surgery, recovery, and anything I could think about. He never rushes me out the door and spends the time talking through everything with me. He called for two days after the surgery, and his team was able to answer any questions via phone I had. Dr. Lee has been a resource at several milestone appointments: 2 weeks post op, 6 weeks post op, and 4 months post op. He also gave me a great recommendation for the PT required after my 6 weeks of recovery. Two things I would like to point out is the hospital nurses all had great things to say about him the day of the surgery and kept telling me I was in good hands. The OR nurse even told me she's consulting with him about her pain. The PT office I selected based on Dr. Lee's recommendation has also been great. At my first appointment with them during the physical exam, based on my physical responses to the exam, they told me I had a great surgeon who worked on me, and I was in great shape just 6 weeks after the surgery. I know a full recovery can take up to a year so I am still in recovery and doing PT (more for my sanity) as I had a large herniated disc, but I am no longer in pain and feel like my prior self 95% of the time. I would recommend Dr. Lee in a heartbeat!

    I was not impressed at all. Dr. Lee conducted his examination of my complaints. I explained that…read moreI had already had a nerve test and x-rays completed recently and offered to provide him with the disc from the facility that completed the tests. Dr. Lee was fine with this. I prepared the disc to be mailed off with the USPS, which required a signature once delivered to Dr. Lee's office. I did this because the disc has my Personal Health Information (PHI) and my Personal Identification Information (PII). I also called Dr. Lee's office and spoke his female staff members - twice - to alert them of the disc being sent and the need for someone's signature. I was brushed off and ignored. I few days later, I get a bill for the office visit. Long story short, my disc sat at the USPS in Glendale until it was returned to me by USPS as no one went into the USPS to sign for the disc. A female staffer calls me to ask if I had received their bill, to which I told her I had. She tells me to ignore it because they filed the claim wrong!?!? I would not recommend anyone going here.

After that adjustment my back is worse, and I am now facing possible vertebral artery dissection (VAD). This condition can lead to stroke and even death. I did not request a spinal or neck adjustment and would not have agreed to it. I cannot recommend this provider.

    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.
