A torn rotator cuff, a knee that gives out on the court, or an elbow that aches with every rep can pull you away from the life you have built. Dr. Reza Jazayeri, known to his patients as Dr. Jaz, sees athletes and active adults at DOCS Health Los Angeles, his main office in the Beverly Grove neighborhood near the Beverly Center, Cedars-Sinai, and Beverly Hills.
Dr. Jaz completed his sports medicine fellowship at the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic, a Cedars-Sinai affiliated institution here in Los Angeles, after earning his medical degree from Albert Einstein College of Medicine and completing his orthopedic surgery residency at NYU Hospital for Joint Diseases. He is double board-certified in orthopedic surgery and sports medicine and spent more than 15 years with the Southern California Permanente Medical Group before joining DOCS Health as an orthopedic surgeon and Director of Longevity. He also serves as faculty for the Smith+Nephew UFC Combat Sports Medicine Course.

i’m a physician in the LA area about 10 years out of school. I tore my right pec muscle in the gym and immediately called my ortho friends in the area for a recommendation (none of them did pec/shoulder). Dr Jax came highly recommended and I was not disappointed. his urgency and communication was excellent , got me scheduled right away and was checking on me the whole way. really felt like he went above and beyond during the surgery adding a bone marrow aspirate to help it heal. 9 months out and strength and mobility are great

What to Expect at Your Los Angeles Orthopedic Visit
Your first appointment is unhurried. Dr. Jaz reviews your history, examines the injured joint, and looks at any imaging you bring, ordering new studies when they are needed. You can learn more about imaging and diagnosis before your visit. He then explains your diagnosis in plain language and walks you through each option, from rehabilitation and injections to surgery.
If surgery becomes part of your plan, you will receive prehabilitation guidance and pre-operative instructions well ahead of your procedure, and the team will explain where it will take place. After surgery, the myHealthTrack remote rehab platform keeps you connected to trainers, physical therapists, and nutritionists between visits.
Plan to bring a photo ID, insurance information, a list of your medications, and any prior MRI, X-ray, or operative reports. You can read more about what to expect at your consultation.
