Kamal Kalia, MD, FAANS - BAYSTATE NEUROSURGERY

I have had the misfortune of needing surgery to correct 3 herniated discs in my lumbar spine, however, I have been blessed to have had Dr. Kalia as my surgeon for each operation. When I was a 20ish year old man working manual labor and having progressed to the point of debilitating pain, Dr. Kalia performed a microdiscectomy on my spine and saved my life, returning full mobility with no residual pain or deficit. Fast forward 20 years, and amazingly, I now work alongside Dr. Kalia as a healthcare professional. This summer I experienced another herniation which he was able to correct just as effectively. Unfortunately, I reherniated the same disc several weeks later, badly. I was unable to peel myself off the floor and ended up calling 911 and spending the night in the ED. In the morning, Dr. Kalia to the rescue once again! I can’t say enough good things about him. Great beside manner, excellent teacher. I know from personal experience working along side of him, and being worked on by him, that before during and after surgery his patients are his number one priority, no exceptions.

Many thanks for resolving my disc issues, recently. You alleviated the pain I was experiencing. We are very fortunate to have skilled doctors, like you. You are the best of the best! Once again, many thanks for your compassionate care and concern.

Dr. Kalia gave me my son back! He saved my child and i will forever be grateful for him he was GOD’S instrument!
