Dr. Reza Jazayeri is a double board-certified orthopedic surgeon specializing in sports medicine, with clinical expertise in shoulder, knee, and elbow care. His practice welcomes out-of-town and international patients who travel to Los Angeles for advanced orthopedic treatment. The process starts with a telehealth consultation, allowing you to discuss your condition, review imaging, and receive a clear treatment proposal before booking any travel.
Dr. Jazayeri treats every patient with the same level of care and attention he would give to his own family and friends. This philosophy shapes every step of the experience for patients visiting from other states or outside the United States.
Benefits Of Telehealth Consultations For Remote Patients
A telehealth consultation lets you connect with Dr. Jazayeri from home before committing to travel. During this virtual visit, you can describe your symptoms, share diagnostic imaging, and ask questions about treatment options. He reviews your case and outlines whether surgery, biologics, or a non-surgical approach fits your situation.
This step removes guesswork and helps you plan a single, purposeful trip to Los Angeles. Many out-of-town and international patients find that one remote conversation provides enough clarity to move forward with confidence. Follow-up telehealth visits also support your recovery after you return home.
Scheduling Pre-Operative Assessments For Out-Of-Town Patients
Once you and Dr. Jazayeri decide on a treatment path, the next step is an in-person pre-operative assessment. This visit includes a physical exam, updated imaging if needed, and prehabilitation planning. Dr. Jazayeri uses preoperative lab testing to check vitamin D levels, inflammatory markers, hormone status, and muscle health.
These metrics guide a personalized surgical preparation protocol backed by his own peer-reviewed research. The goal is to have you arrive for surgery in the strongest possible condition. The practice coordinates these appointments efficiently so out-of-town and international patients can minimize time away from home.
What To Bring For Your Orthopedic Appointment
Arriving prepared helps your appointment run smoothly. Bring a government-issued photo ID, your insurance card if applicable, and a list of current medications. Most importantly, bring all relevant diagnostic imaging on a CD or USB drive, along with the radiology reports.
If you have seen other providers for the same condition, include those clinic notes and treatment records. International patients should also bring translated medical summaries when possible. Having these materials ready at your first visit prevents delays and gives Dr. Jazayeri the full picture he needs to make informed decisions about your care.
Post-Operative Care Options For Traveling Patients
Your recovery plan depends on the procedure you undergo. For shoulder, knee, or elbow surgery, Dr. Jazayeri typically recommends staying in the Los Angeles area for a set period after the operation. This allows for an early follow-up exam and the start of guided rehabilitation.
Once you return home, telehealth appointments keep you connected to the practice. Dr. Jazayeri monitors your healing progress remotely and adjusts your recovery protocol as needed. The combination of in-person early follow-up and virtual long-term oversight gives traveling patients a practical path to a full recovery without repeated trips.
Utilizing Myhealthtrack For Recovery Support
Dr. Jaz integrates the myHealthTrack platform into his recovery protocols for out-of-town and international patients. This FDA-recognized digital tool provides a personalized home exercise program, weekly goals and milestones, and daily guidance on nutrition, hydration, and sleep. It also includes mental health support resources.
Dr. Jazayeri monitors each patient’s progress through real-time dashboards, which gives him continuous clinical oversight before and after travel. You stay on track with clear, measurable targets while he watches for any signs that need attention. The platform bridges the distance between Los Angeles and your home.
Travel Logistics For Patients Visiting Los Angeles
Planning your trip to Los Angeles involves a few practical steps. International patients should secure any necessary visas well ahead of time. You will want to arrange accommodations near the practice for both your pre-operative visit and post-surgical stay.
The length of your stay depends on the procedure. Less involved treatments may require only a few days, while more involved surgeries call for a longer recovery window in the area. Los Angeles offers a wide range of lodging options, and the practice can help you understand what to expect so you can book with confidence.
Patient Support Services Available In Greater Los Angeles
Dr. Jazayeri sees patients at three locations across Southern California: Beverly Hills, Westlake Village, and Orange. All three offices support the full range of services that out-of-town and international patients commonly seek. These include shoulder, elbow, knee, and hamstring procedures, PRP therapy, and the Bio-Fertilizationâ„¢ Protocol. This proprietary surgical framework combines biologic augmentation, intraosseous modulation, and metabolic optimization into one coordinated approach.
Expert Care May Be Closer Than You Think
Insurance is an important part of choosing your surgeon. Dr. Jazayeri is an out of network provider, and our team can help you understand what that means for your care and your costs.
If your commercial insurance plan includes out of network benefits, it may cover a portion of your surgical costs after you meet your applicable deductible. Your estimated financial responsibility will depend on your specific plan, benefits, and procedure.
Have Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, or UnitedHealthcare?
Your insurance may still offer benefits for care with Dr. Jazayeri, even though he is an out of network provider. This includes certain plans from Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield of California, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, and other commercial insurers.
Benefits vary by policy, even within the same insurance company. Our team can help verify whether your specific plan includes out of network coverage and explain how it may apply to your care.

Both of my shoulders were well past the sell-by date! I’d been getting injections in each one for the past ten years. Finally, I realized that it was pointless to continue, diminishing returns. The injections were hardly making a difference anymore. I was referred to Dr. Jazayeri as the shoulder guy for Kaiser, which was and still is my health care provider. He took a look at the Xrays and could tell right away that mine was a severe case that would require complex and customized prosthetic shoulder joints. He explained that each one would be a reverse shoulder joint construction, which at first gave me pause. But after he explained what was entailed and that I would really feel no difference after the recovery, I agreed to the procedure. He operated on both shoulders about nine months apart and the process was a breeze. I was blown away. My recovery in each case was difficult but not overly long. By six months had about 80% range of motion with little to no pain. After nine months, I was feeling positively bionic. I heartily recommend Dr. Jazayeri. He knows his stuff and has an infectious positive attitude to boot.
