Individualized Planning and Technology:

Dr. Jazayeri approaches surgery the same way elite athletes prepare for competition. The healthier, stronger, and more optimized your body is before surgery, the better your recovery and long-term outcome.

This structured, evidence-based approach ensures your body is fully prepared—physically, metabolically, and nutritionally—to achieve the best possible results from surgery.

Comprehensive Evaluation
- Physical exam and muscle strength testing
- X-rays to assess bone structure and joint condition
- MRI to evaluate soft tissues like the rotator cuff
- CT scans (if needed) for detailed bone and implant planning
Metabolic and Nutritional Optimization
- Preoperative lab testing for: Vitamin D, inflammatory markers, hormone levels, and muscle status
- Correction of nutritional deficiencies
- Targeted supplements (e.g., amino acids, vitamin D) to support healing and reduce recovery time
