Dr. Abiram Bala

Very talented surgeon, I recovered smoothly after hip replacement surgery. Mostly soreness not too much pain. Dr Bala did the minimally invasive approach. 100% worth the drive and wait time.

Dr Bala has replaced both my right hip and left knee, and they have been a resounding success! Very straight forward doctor and straight forward recovery. Great team!

Dr. Bala really is the best, everyone you talk to PTs and nurses before and after your surgery will tell you that you are very lucky you had him as your surgeon. The whole team was great. I had a partial knee replacement and I feel amazing so quickly. My scar is straight and looks perfect. No staples like others just an easy bandage to take off. So thankful

Dr. Bala is very professional and excellent at surgery for hip replacement. His support team is great too. 5 stars!

Very happy with my result from surgery even though long wait Thank you Dr. Bala and Kaiser team

Highly recommend Dr. Bala at Kaiser on Sunset Los Angeles. My scar is so neat and straight. My right knee feels great. I am very active for my age so I was worried about replacement surgery. Could not be happier with the result.

BEST SURGEON IN LOS ANGELES!! My life has completely changed after getting my hip done. Suffering for years gone in a day. I can live again. My friends had the same surgery done and they recovered so much slower. Night and day. Scar tucked away neatly can’t even see it with a swimsuit on ;) Dr Bala thank you!

Dr Bala is a master. After years of suffering with a bunk knee with so many surgeries, I finally took the jump to have knee replacement. Two weeks were really tough, but my physical therapist said I was progressing faster than most given my history. I am a retired engineer and I can tell he loves his craft. You don’t need a nice guy, you need a skilled surgeon, and he is the one you want.

RUDE. Dismissive of all of my research on regenerative treatment for my hip pain and wear and tear. Many of my friends felt better with stem cell treatment. When we finally got around to talking about surgery, he said we then have to wait half a year or more. Ridiculous and ran 15 minutes late to my appointment

If you have Kaiser in SoCal and need hip surgery, Dr Bala is the BEST! I had anterior hip replacement surgery and now three months later, most days I forget I had surgery. I only took the pain medication for three days. I drove several hours away to have it done by him based on my research, and had to wait, but it was COMPLETELY WORTH IT. The whole team at Kaiser LA was amazing, everything was very clear and made the experience smooth. Thank you thank you THANK YOU!!!
