Getting clear patient information before your first visit helps you feel prepared and confident. Dr. Reza Jazayeri is a double board-certified orthopedic surgeon specializing in sports medicine, with a clinical focus on the shoulder, knee, and elbow. He completed his sports medicine fellowship at the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic in Los Angeles.
With over 15 years of experience treating athletes and active adults, you will find straightforward guidance here. This page walks you through what to expect, how to prepare, and how to access care at his three convenient locations: Beverly Hills, Westlake Village, and Orange, CA.
What To Expect During Your Consultation
Your first consultation gives you time to talk with Dr. Jazayeri about your symptoms, your activity level, and your goals. He will review your medical history and perform a focused physical exam of the affected joint. You will discuss how the problem started and what treatments you have already tried.
Dr. Jaz follows a non-surgical-first approach, so he will explore therapy and injection options before considering surgery. If imaging is needed, he may order it during this visit. You will leave with a clear plan that fits your life and your recovery priorities.
Imaging And Diagnosis Services Offered
Accurate diagnosis starts with high-quality imaging. Dr. Jazayeri uses in-office X-rays and works with advanced imaging centers across Greater Los Angeles for MRI and CT scans when needed. He reads all images himself and explains the findings directly to you.
For complex shoulder, knee, or elbow conditions, he may use diagnostic ultrasound to assess soft tissue structures in real time. This hands-on approach to imaging helps him pinpoint the source of your pain and build a treatment plan that targets the actual problem, not just the symptoms.
How To Request A Second Opinion
If you have already seen another provider and want a fresh perspective, Dr. Jazayeri welcomes second opinion consultations. Bring your existing imaging, operative reports, and any relevant medical records to your appointment. He will review your case independently and share his assessment with you in plain language.
Many patients from Beverly Hills and surrounding communities seek his input on prior surgical recommendations. A second opinion can confirm your current path or introduce new options you had not considered, including minimally invasive techniques or biologic treatments when appropriate.
Benefits Of Virtual Consultations For Patients
Virtual consultations let you meet with Dr. Jazayeri from your home or office. These video visits work well for initial evaluations, follow-up discussions, and reviewing imaging results. You avoid travel time and parking hassles across Greater Los Angeles while still receiving focused attention on your shoulder, knee, or elbow concern.
Virtual visits are available for patients across California and beyond. You will need a stable internet connection and a quiet space. Dr. Jazayeri uses these sessions to understand your condition, recommend next steps, and determine if an in-person exam is necessary.

Dr. Jazayeri did my shoulder replacement after many other surgeons said it was too damaged too difficult to reconstruct. I was deeply grateful for him taking on my surgery. I am now three months after complex shoulder operation. I have very little pain and have near full range of motion. Can’t thank him enough for all that he did as well as having fantastic bedside manners.
