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.

Wouldn’t go to anyone else!
Dr Khanna and his team are the best. Appointments are on time, his team listens well and Dr Khanna is wise in his treatment plan; never unnecessary or overly aggressive but Minimally invasive and most helpful.

This is the Doctor you want!
I first met with a Doc who wanted to perform a fusion on my spine, when I should have been offered a disc replacement. It didn't feel 'right' to me so I researched on my own, found Dr. Khanna and chose him for replacement of my C5-6 disc. It was, honestly an easy decision because I could tell how personally invested he is in the outcomes of his surgeries. While other Docs I met with seemed detached and a bit robotic, after doing this for nearly 30 years Dr. Khanna still seemed excited about being able to help me! The surgery was performed to perfection in a minimally invasive manner, even the scar on my neck was done in a way to minimize noticeability. I have my life back as a mother of young children and a runner!! In fact, I think I feel better than I did before the car accident that caused all this! I also have to mention I waited a mere 20 minutes at each appointment, the staff (Denise!) is all so wonderful, and I was treated with respect, never rushed.

I was in what seemed like a minor accident. I was sent to different hospital who released me. I was sent for a 2nd opinion to Dr. Khanna of the Orthopedic specialists clinic in Munster, IN. Dr. Khanna didnt just look at me. He checked me out, ran tests and found the problem that had caused my hands to go numb, and source of my pain. I couldn't drive for 3 months. I had to have surgery. I thank God for the care he gave me. My condition left untreated may/would have disabled me. He eased my fears of fixing my spine through my throat as I have keloidal skin, and was terrified of being completely maimed. I am grateful that he heard my concern and did everything he could to minimize the scarring. His spirit is so pure and unassuming I can't help but thank God for giving him the talent and patience to handle such a complex surgery. He fixed my spine, and made sure that I was strong enough to get back to my life. I love the fact that loves what he does and it shows! Love his staff

Dr. Khanna operated on my back to fix a bad disk. he removed the disk and replaced it with a spacer and titanium hardware. Before the operation, I had pain in my left leg and had a hard time walking. After the operation I had absolutely no pain at all, and can now walk without any discomfort. I am sincerely grateful to Dr. Khanna and his fantastic staff.

Dr. Khanna is one of those extraordinary doctors who actually takes the time to sit down and talk to you. He gets to know you and your symptoms before making any suggestions, and unlike most surgeons who I have encountered his initial reaction isn’t to jump into a surgery. He actually wants to treat you, for you to get better. His staff was incredibly professional and kind. I really cannot recommend Dr. Khanna highly enough.

I was in pain for 7 years. After years of injections and 1 surgery from 3 different doctors. I thank God I met Dr. Nitin Khanna! I told him my about my miserable pain some days can't sleep or stand. He assured me with such confidence after my MRI that he would be able to relieve me from the pain I was having. As one can imagine I said to myself I heard this before. It's been over 2 weeks since my lower lumbar fusion. Dr. Nitin is a man of his word! I am so grateful to him and his staff! I am going to follow his instructions of allowing healing to take place. As for pain I feel none. If I feel this good after 2 weeks I can only imagine what I'm going to feel like on my next scheduled visit. Dr. Khanna God blessed you with healing hands! My wife and I pray blessings on your practice and life. Thank you so much! Ignacio and Mercedes Rios Jr.

Great surgeon. Did my l5 s1 fusion 8/7/17. It took me a solid year to start feeling good again. I'm skiing again, did 25 days last year in the Rockies. Mission accomplished.

In February 2019, I underwent surgery with Dr. Khanna and his team. I couldn't be happier with my outcome, and the care I received before, during, and after my procedure has been outstanding. As a registered nurse for nearlly 40 years, I highly recommend Dr. Khanna and his team. My only regret is that I waited so long to get help.

I'm a 45 yr old male who since April of 2018 was suffering from nerve pain in my neck, shoulders and arm. I went to clinics for injections but nothing seemed to work, my pain was so bad I could not sleep, or stop my hand from shaking. I finally went to my family Dr to be referred to D.R Khanna and I can tell you now I'm feeling as if nothing ever was wrong. Dr Khanna was caring and explained my options to me with great detail. I highly recommend him to anybody who suffers from pain.

24 male 6 foot 240 pounds. I had a microdiscectomy with Dr. Khanna. He was very professional and answered all my questions before the surgery. He made me try all other routes before we decided on the surgery. His nurse was super helpful as well. The recovery was rough but felt relief immediately. After 1.5 weeks I was back to work limited, after 2 week I was back for the full day. 6 months later I am doing great and my life has improved more than I could have thought.

Dr. Khanna is an excellent Dr. I had C6and C7 fused in 2010. The scar left by the surgery on my neck is completely unnoticeable. Recovery time was amazingly short. He is very skilled at his profession and is the most caring and compassionate Dr. I have ever met. My latest appt with him was May of 2018, as I was having problems with pain and was told by another Dr that I should have an MRI and see Dr. Khanna. When I met with Dr. Khanna, he looked at the MRI and assured me that my neck C4 and C5 i

Dr. Khanna performed minimally-invasive surgery on my lumbar spine. The results were excellent. The first time I stood following surgery I knew the pain I had suffered was gone. Of course there was incision and surgical pain, which is to be expected. I was totally satisfied with the outcome and would highly recommend Dr. Khanna.
