I highly recommend Dr. Khounganian for all your back care needs. He performed surgery on me and for the first time in two years I am pain free. The whole experience from the surgery to recovery has been such a manageable breeze. All my questions I had were gladly answered by himself or his staff. Any reservations I had to having back surgery went away.

I can’t begin to say how much I love Dr. Khounganian ! He is one of the kindest and caring Dr’s that I have ever been too. I had a herniated disk and he performed a spinal microdiscectomy and fixed my pain completely. I would highly recommend him and his amazing staff!

I saw Dr. Khounganian last week. From the moment I entered the office I was treated well. The office staff welcomed me right away and had me in the room within minutes. The Dr was attentive and extremely thorough. He spent ample time with me going over all of my options for my back. I highly recommend him for any type of back issues. He didn’t feel that I needed surgery but if I did he would be the one that would do it. He is an expert in his field and I felt I was in great hands. I had previously visited other orthopedists for my condition and he definitely set him himself apart. I thought the office staff was extremely helpful.

I recently had an appointment with Dr. khounganian after seeing a slew of other orthopedics who seemed unhelpful and provided me with no options to help my back. He came highly recommended to me from a client who he had operated on the previous month and is now doing incredible. Bc I am an athlete and lead a very active lifestyle, it was refreshing to meet a doctor who didn’t tell me to stop working out and rest my back. I’ll skip over all the medical bable and say I highly recommend him to everyone, especially athletes. His front office could not of been any nicer and went out of their way to help me with insurance paperwork. If I could give him 10 stars I would!!!

I am two months post-op on a L4/5, L5/S1 fusion. Dr. K did an amazing surgery for me. It was a rough few days in the hospital but now I am swimming, walking and enjoying life for the first time in four years. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Khounganian is one of the best Spine Surgeons out there! He took his time to listen to my questions and concerns. He was also very knowledgeable about my condition and his treatment plan. One of the best spine surgeon’s I know!

I have worked in the operating room as a nurse for almost 20 years now and have worked with Dr. Khounganian for the last 5 and can say that he is one of the best spine surgeon that I have ever worked with. His technique is flawless and his attention to detail speaks volumes as to the type of physician he is. He also has one of the best bedside manners that I have seen a surgeon possess. I have seen him as a patient as well, and he never made me feel rushed in the office or silly for asking questions. I give him my highest praise and would let him operate on me or my own any day.

Dr. Khounganian is an outstanding doctor. I had been experiencing extreme back pain and called his office. His staff was able to schedule an appointment with me within a few days and also managed to get an MRI quickly. Dr. Khounganian took the time to show me my MRI and explain the results. I tend to ask a million questions but he never made me feel like I was monopolizing his time. He never made me feel like I was being rushed and answered every question that I had. I have been to dozens of doctors over the years and he has the best bed side manner hands down. Dr. Khounganian is one of the few doctors that I have encountered that still seems to have compassion for his patients and I have sent everyone that I know that has had back problems or needed surgery to him. He is simply the best

EXTRAORDINARY is the first word that comes to mind when Describing Dr. Greg Khounganian, or Dr. K for short. Dr. K is not only an outstanding surgeon but he is a great guy as well. He really cares for his patients and takes the time and energy to really get to know them and properly diagnose and treat their pain. I have been seeing Dr. K for about three years now and he has made some significant recommendations which have helped alleviate pain in my back and legs. I would, without a doubt, recommend Dr. K to anyone looking for an EXTRAORDINARY spine surgeon!!!

Overall great experience. The doctor and staff were very helpful and nice. Felt like he really cared about me and he answered all of my questions.

Dr. K is truly a patient-focused physician and while many doctors would describe themselves as such, the reality is that is just not the case. His mild mannered approach exudes confidence and his credentials only reinforce it; but what truly sets him apart is his genuine concern and empathy for the patient and their family’s needs.
I have fortunately never needed his expertise, but two people very close to me have greatly benefited from his care. Thanks, and needless to say I highly recommend Dr. Khounganian and the staff at GSK Spine to anyone who needs a patient-centered plan of care.

Had surgery with dr k. The surgery was very successful and relieved 100% of my pain. Before my surgery he answered all my questions.
Weeks before my surgery my dad and I still had a few concerns and he took the time to talk with my father and I over a three way call because my father lives in ny.
I would definitely recommend him for any spine issues you may have.

Surprised there aren’t more reviews for this doc.
I was referred by a friend who already under went surgery and had nothing but great things to say.
I had a great consultation this week, even if I am terrified of surgery. Dr. Khounganian helped me understand what’s going on between my discs and referred me to his site should I feel I want more info. I like the animations on the site, they supplement the consult.
So I’ll be going forth with surgery with the doc, feeling a little more knowledgable. Still terrified, but well informed.
