Finally relief provided

We use Kalra for neuro referrals at our practice. I decided to see him for myself. I am happy with the outcome. My bone spurs were pressing my sciatic nerve for two years. The flare ups became unbearable. Dr Kalra was able to diagnose and correct with surgery. I’ve tried PT (office/home) stretches exercises with minimal relief. I was desperate by this time. Thank you for your services Dr. Kalra. Your PA’s Jennifer and Fatima were great with explanations and trustworthy as well. Great Team.

I could not have hoped for a better experience.

Dr. Kalra is essentially everything you could hope for in a doctor. He spends time with his patients, listening to their concerns, and explaining them in a way that is consumable for you to understand. He gives you all of your potential options, and always reminds you that the decision is yours to make, and he is here to support you. Finally the results have been amazing. My back feels the best it has in 10 years. He has made it possible again to get on the ground and play with my children, when it felt like it would never happen again.

Could not have been better!

I was referred to Dr. Kalra after having neck pain from an 18 wheeler accident. The neck pain had not resolved with other treatments at a previous doctor. My first visit with Dr. Kalra was so informative. He read my history from the previous doctor and was well versed on my situation before meeting with me the first time. Unfortunately the only option was surgery. Dr. Kalra and his staff made me feel very comfortable about the surgery and included me in my treatment plan. I was afraid and he and the staff made me feel heard and calmed me as much as possible. Before the surgery could take place, the injury became worse. Dr. Kalra and his staff made time for me emergently and pushed my surgery up as far as they could. The surgery was a success!!!! I am 2 months post op and i have zero pain, no tingling, no headaches and full range of motion! THANK YOU DR KALRA

Dr. Kalra listens to his patients and won't suggest surgery unless required.

Dr. Kalra resolved my spinal arthritis flare-up quickly and easily. He began with the least invasive approach, muscle relaxants and an NSAID, along with physical therapy, and these eliminated all my pain within a month. He and his staff were great to work with, as they listened to all my concerns and answered all my questions in detail. I highly recommend Dr. Kalra to anyone with spinal issues.

Wonderful, back pain is gone!

Dr Kalra is the best! Everyone in the entire office is so helpful and kind. Dr. Kalra saved me from having a major surgery and gave me alternatives that my previous doctor did not. He listened to my concerns and made sure I was 100% comfortable with the treatment plan.

Better than expected.

I've been putting off the possibility/necessity of a 360 L4-5 surgury for some time. I'm an active 70 yr. play pickleballold female. Dr. Kalra listens to his patients and provide an honest personal opinion. I was told that I would undeniably know when surgery was necessary. He explained the benefit of doing the 360 approach and I am grateful for his expertise as this was one of the best surgical experiences I've had. I had a very positive outcome and released to play pickleball after 8 weeks! It's only human to be fearful of having a surgery, but you'll be in good hands with Dr. Kalra and his medical team. Highly skilled, compassionate, with a good bedside manner best describes this doctor and his practice. I would highly recommend Dr. Kalra and his amazing team.

I feel that the treatment fixed my issues.

Dr. Kalra did an excellent job of diagnosing and treating disk problems in my neck. The nerve pain I was experiencing before is gone. I am very happy with the outcome.

I feel great. I am pain free since my surgery.

I think Dr. Kalra is the best, and I will plan on coming back to his office if any other symptoms ever happen again. I would choose him first for everything.

I've had 20yrs of pain stemming from my L5-S1. I am now on the road to recovery and can say that I a

My expierence was very easy. I came in for a consultaion, made a apt for surgery, got the surgery, and am on my way to recovery now.

The surgery was difficult, but none of the difficulty was created by Dr Kalra or his staff. Any time I needed to talk to someone, make an appointment, or get questions answered, I was always able to reach somone, and I got what I needed.

I truly believed that this process would be impossible. I was sure something would go wrong, and that I would suffer forever, but it didn't go this way. Dr Kalra is skilled. He knows his craft, and is way ahead of the curve when it comes to being a comforting presence.

This dude has your back (pun intended)

Dr. Kalra and his whole staff are friendly and knowledable. He eased my fears about surgery which in turn provided me with life changing relief from back pain.

Fantastic, experience overall was more then expected.

I was treated very respectively and every question i had was answered to my satisfaction.

The results of the surgery was more then expected. Pain was minimal and the stay in the hospital was shorter then I had expected. Dr Kalra was very engaged in my recovery and was always helping improve with advice and recommended physical therapy.

Positive Life Changing Experience

I had suffered with chronic hip and leg pain for several years until I was referred to Dr. Kalra. After my surgery and recovery period, the pain was gone and I felt that I could enjoy all of my normal activities as I transitioned from recovery to physical therapy and beyond. I followed all of the doctors orders to the letter such as not bending or lifting too soon which I really felt contributed to such a great outcome.

Absolutely outstanding experience.

Dr. Kalra explained everything to where we could understand why I was having so much pain. He took the time to listen to me and my husband. He answered all our questions. He even had me do a second MRI (at no extra cost) to make certain the second disc needed to be replaced because the first image wasn't as clear as he would have liked. He is one of the kindest doctor's I have had the pleasure to work with. As a surgeon, I would consider him one of the best! I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Life Changing!!

I have had a great experience with Dr. Kalra! He was my second opinion and gave me options that I did not realize I had. He really cares for his patients and will spend as much time with you as you need to answer all your questions. His team worked extremely hard with my difficult insurance to get the surgery approved that was best for me. I am a young mom who could no longer spend time with or take care of my kids due to pain. Now I am pain free and can do all the fun things with my kids again! I have my quality of life back!!

Dr. Kalra takes the time to explain and listen.

I met with Dr. Kalra 3 times before deciding what surgeon I should use. Dr. Kalra spent 40 minutes with me at each appointment. He explained everything, listen to my questions and didn't rush me out the door. His staff, as well as his team at Legent Hospital was wonderful as well. I wish all doctors could have the compassion, and empathy that Dr. Kalra demonstrates. I highly recommend Dr. Kalra.

Dr. Kalra cares about his patients and doing what’s best for them

Over the course of the past two years, I have had several surgeries requiring interactions with a number of different doctors and surgeons. Dr. Kalra is by far my favorite of them all. He spends time with his patients to explain what the problem is, how he is proposing to address the problem, and what can be expected as a result of the procedure(s) he will be performing. He has recommended other specialists for issues I am experiencing and had conversations with them on my behalf. His work is top notch, and his follow up visits are very informative. He answers all questions in a way a layperson is able to understand. His staff is extremely efficient, friendly, helpful and you don’t have to wait long to be seen. Based on my experiences, I trust and would highly recommend Dr. Kalra.

Fantastic Surgeon!!

I had no strength in my arm and a constant, intense, nagging pain that wouldn't allow me to sleep and had me almost in tears, constantly. I was referred to Dr. Kalra and I am so glad that I was! He explained my issue, told me what he recommended, and what I could expect. Dr. Kalra replaced a disc in my neck and I was back to normal fast! He and his staff are extremely kind, even putting up with my constant questions. I would recommend Dr. Kalra all day long to anyone who will listen!!
