I recommend Dr. Lian for athletes seeking sports medicine and orthopedic surgical care, with a focus on getting back to their sport.

I recommend Dr. Gelber for his integrative, holistic approach and thoughtful consideration of treatment options before deciding whether surgery is appropriate.

I recommend Dr. Ahdoot for joint replacement care, including minimally invasive, outpatient, and robotic approaches backed by fellowship training.

I recommend Dr. Khadavi for foot and ankle concerns, including clinical podiatric care and surgery, with offices in Encino and Beverly Hills.

I recommend Alex for a broad range of orthopedic physical therapy needs. I value his experience helping people reduce pain and restore function, whether or not surgery is part of their care. I especially recommend Alex for stubborn or complex cases.

I recommend Elite Performance Clinic in Sherman Oaks for sports and orthopedic rehabilitation that emphasizes individualized care and dedicated time with each patient. Its experienced physical therapists and trainers support recovery and a return to activity within a premium clinical setting. Disclosure: I also practice at Elite Performance Clinic.

This recommendation is for the clinic as a whole, not every individual clinician.
