Patient Testimonials
Due to a fall, I had C3 & C5 crushed disc replacement with Titanium Disc and Plate with 6 screws in my spine. Prior to surgery, I had excruciating pain on Left & Right shoulders, arms, and hands. Dr. Ranasinghe explained in detail the injury damage, the course of repair, recovery, and followup therapy if indicated. Her approach was compassionate yet direct, honest & immediate. Dr. Ranasinghe was very thorough ensuring I had a good MRI and required evaluation of all my history. She saved my Life & No Pain. Definitely the best spine surgeon in Los Angeles!

Review from healthgrade.com
I first saw Dr. Ranasinghe when I could no longer walk. She sent me over to the emergency at Whittier Presbyterian Hospital where after a cat scan diagnosed me with spinal stenosis. I found myself in surgery immediately. Thanks to her and her scheduling of rehabilitation I am walking again. Thank you Dr. Ranasinghe!

Review from healthgrade.com
Her diagnostics skills are excellent. She takes time to explain things and listens to all concerns & responds with detailed answers. She is meticulous in her planning and surgical strategy. Her measures for mitigating potential complications are first rate. Most important is her exceptional skills as a Neurosurgeon. I had a complex C spine Laminectomy and the outcome was 100% successful. I feel better than I have in 3 years. Recovery has been fast. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dr. Ranasinghe.

Review from Yelp
Moksha Ranasinghe M.D.
Dr. Moksha Ranasinghe, MD, FAANS, was born and raised in Sri Lanka. During her childhood, she developed a passion for medicine and patient care through volunteer work at the local hospital, where her mother worked as a pharmacist. At the age of nine, she was already gaining incredible hands-on experience while working in the war fields during the tragic Sri Lankan civil war with the Red Cross, treating victims. She also worked at a home for residents with brain and spine injuries, where she further honed her skills and passion for Neurosurgery.
Our Treatment Philosophy
Our goal is to provide safe treatments and exceptional care to our patients, helping them recover faster and live a healthier life. With this in mind, we approach each case with a holistic and patient-centered approach. Diagnosis begins with a thorough examination and evaluation of the patient’s medical history, symptoms, and imaging studies. From there, a precise understanding of the underlying cause of the disorder is gleaned which serves as the basis for an effective treatment plan.
We believe in the maxim “first, do no harm” and always strive to treat using conservative methods initially. This may include physical therapy, medication, and lifestyle adjustments. However, when these methods prove to be inadequate, surgery may be considered a last resort. Our surgical approach is minimally invasive, utilizing the latest techniques and technologies to minimize discomfort and provide fast recovery.

A neurosurgeon is defined as a physician specializing in the surgical treatment of conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves.

My father received surgery from Dr. Ranasighe twice one for his neck and one to fix a previous Dr. Back surgery. She is an amazing Dr. She fixed his previous surgeries issues as well as did work to prevent other issues to arise. My dad's recovery from the previous surgery was 5 months. He is barley a month in and already walking with a walker and can shower and go to the bathroom on his own. We are so greatful that we met Dr. Ranasighe.
The best medical treatment and follow-up that I have ever experienced. Everything she said and did was right on point 👉.
Dr. Moksha and her staff are excellent, my husband surgery was a success and now he can live life with less pain and now he can go back to work to provide for his family . We are grateful for her. Thank you Jesus for dr. Moksha.
Her comprehensive approach addressed the root causes of my addiction and empowered me to reclaim control of my life. Forever thankful!
Her reputation among other doctors is exceptional, and I've witnessed a high level of respect for her within the medical community. After exhausting non-surgical alternatives, I underwent a cervical fusion that turned out to be a great success. The majority of my pain has dissipated, allowing me, at the age of 75, to continue enjoying activities like golfing, hiking, and daily walks with my dog – something I'm immensely grateful for
I've had an incredibly positive experience with Dr. Ranasinghe in addressing my back issues over the past two years. I consider myself blessed to have found her as my healthcare provider. Dr. Ranasinghe is attentive, taking the time to thoroughly explain all available options, with a focus on conservative approaches first. Unlike some experiences I've had, there was never any pressure towards surgery; in fact, quite the opposite.Her reputation among other doctors is exceptional, and I've witnessed a high level of respect for her within the medical community.

While her schedule is understandably busy, the wait during appointments is worthwhile. When it's my turn, I receive her undivided attention. I'm truly thankful for the support and incredible results she has provided.
There aren’t enough words that could describe how thankful I am for Dr. Ranasinghe and her team. I was suffering for years, from back pain that progressed. I’m very grateful to have found her office. She is a true expert in her field, CERTAINLY WORTH THE WAIT. Her staff in office is also great, helping with appointments, reminders and insurance. When she sees you for appointments, she TAKES HER TIME and is laser focused on you and your pain/recovery, truly empathetic. Not all surgeons are this attentive. This review is long overdue, but I can’t thank her enough for the very special, excellent care she has provided me: a life free of pain; and for the unique gift that she is to her patients!
