ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON & SPORTS MEDICINE SPECIALIST
Reza Jazayeri, MD, known to his patients as Dr. Jaz, is a double board-certified orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist who focuses on the shoulder, knee, and elbow. He earned his medical degree from Albert Einstein College of Medicine, completed his orthopedic surgery residency at the nationally ranked NYU Hospital for Joint Diseases, and trained in sports medicine at the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic, a Cedars-Sinai affiliated institution in Los Angeles.
After more than 15 years with the Southern California Permanente Medical Group, Dr. Jaz joined DOCS Health, where he serves as Director of Longevity and leads regenerative and optimization protocols that support long-term musculoskeletal health. He also serves as faculty for the Smith+Nephew UFC Combat Sports Medicine Course and stays involved in training future orthopedic surgeons.
A Southern California native, Dr. Jaz studied mechanical engineering and raced cars for Honda in college before choosing orthopedic surgery. He still stays active through surfing, rock climbing, strength training, snowboarding, and martial arts, which helps him relate to athletes, fighters, and active adults who want to return fully to the activities they love.
DOUBLE BOARD CERTIFIED
Dr. Jaz originally studied mechanical engineering and raced cars for Honda during college. His interest in working with his hands and understanding complex mechanical systems naturally led him toward orthopedic surgery after spending time shadowing family members who were surgeons. He attended medical school and completed residency training in New York before returning to Southern California to pursue fellowship training in sports medicine. He remains actively involved in the education and training of future orthopedic surgeons.
Sports and movement have always been central to Dr. Jazayeri’s life. Outside the operating room, he stays active through surfing, hiking, rock climbing, strength training, yoga, snowboarding, and recreational martial arts. This personal connection to training helps him relate closely to athletes, fighters, and active individuals who aim to recover fully and return to the activities they value.
Dr. Jazayeri’s protocol integrates with a multidisciplinary team to coach you through a remote rehab program with pro-athlete level support, all from the comfort of home.
We Work With:
Patients trust Dr. Jaz because he pairs advanced surgical training with unhurried, individual attention, from the first visit through the final stage of recovery.
Certified in both orthopedic surgery and sports medicine, Dr. Jazayeri brings a rare depth of specialization that ensures precise diagnoses and optimal surgical outcomes for every patient.
No two patients are alike. Dr. Jazayeri takes the time to understand your unique anatomy, activity level, and recovery goals before crafting a treatment plan tailored specifically to you.
Through the myHealthTrack digital rehab platform, every patient receives the same caliber of guided recovery support that professional athletes rely on, accessible from the comfort of home.
Whenever possible, Dr. Jazayeri utilizes advanced arthroscopic and minimally invasive approaches that mean smaller incisions, less pain, and significantly faster return to your active life.
To help you achieve the best possible outcome, Dr. Jaz recommends starting prehabilitation before your procedure. Building strength, improving mobility, and reducing post-op complications begins before you enter the operating room.
Review important instructions covering medications, fasting, check-in procedures, and what to bring on the day of surgery.
Following surgery, clear guidance on wound care, activity restrictions, medication management, and follow-up scheduling ensures a safe and effective recovery.
Dr. Jazayeri’s post-operative protocols are designed to minimize complications and support optimal healing.
PATIENT STORIES
From athletes to active adults, discover how personalized orthopedic care helps patients recover with confidence and return to the activities they love.
Dr Jazayeri, first, repaired a torn rotator cuff. I reinjured my shoulder several years later, and he performed a shoulder replacement. I went home the same day as the surgery, I have full range of motion, and I needed next to no pain meds. He's the best and very well known as such in the Ventura area.
Dr. Reza Jazayeri is fantastic. My knee was blown out in Jiu-Jitsu. Torn MCL, ACL and meniscus. He did an excellent job repairing the damage to my knee, and I'm happy to say I'm healing well, and I cannot thank him enough.
Can't recommend Dr. Jazayeri enough. He truly cares for his patients and has been there every step of the way for my shoulder surgeries, ready to answer any questions or concerns. I couldn't have asked for a better orthopedic surgeon.
