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.

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!

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!

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.
