Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Very thorough, patient and kind

The best orthopedist in the World!
Dr Ahluwalia is the most amazing doctor in the World! I had rotator cuff surgery 5 weeks ago and I was told by others that it would take months to recover. I was able to move my arm in 4 weeks and I am feeling almost back to normal! Sonu’s bedside manner and the way he answered all of my questions demonstrated how empathatic, kind and brilliant he is! Words cannot express my gratitude justly!

I truly appreciate the time he took to address all my concerns and his unwavering dedication to achieving the best possible outcomes for his patients. For anyone seeking a skilled and trustworthy knee doctor, Dr. Ahluwalia is undoubtedly an outstanding choice.

Had labrum surgery over a year ago and my shoulder is worse than what it was before seeing dr Ahluwalia. The great communication and care initially given to his patients mask the work he really does and charges a hefty price for it as well

Screwed up my arm, terrible doctor! Had to get a second surgery to correct the mistake he made even though it won't be as good as it would have been if I went to a better doctor in the first place. Ridiculous and so pricey!

Dr. Ahluwalia performed a stem-cell procedure on my shoulder and delivered on his promise. I was in terrible pain; the worst I had ever felt. sometimes the pain brought tears to my eyes. It's been six months since the procedure and I am pain-free.

Dr Ahluwalia first saw me last spring after a fall and broken arm. I was given an appt for the same day, his office and staff worked smoothly and efficiently. He explained the exray, reccommended treatment ,and in three months I was well. Recently had hip pain, he quickly diagnosed it, received an injection and now much improved. Veryyyy satisfied with his office and his care!
