Bonnie: Hello! Can anyone recommend an excellent orthopedic doctor, especially one who specializes in knee problems? I don't mind driving beyond the Lakewood/Long Beach area! Thanks so much.

Kerlan Jobe group in Los Angeles. www.kerlanjobe.com They also are used by many sports teams, including the Lakers and Dodgers...So you know they are good. They did therapy on my back. After 9 months of working with another doctor in Torrance and getting no where, Kerlan Jobe had me back at work in a month.
Need references on an orthopedic physician!!!! I had a disagreement with a ladder (long story

I think Valley Orthopedic Inst (VOI) in Palmdale by the auto mall is very good (valleyorthos.com). So is Los Angeles Ortho attached to Palmdale Hospital (laortho.com). Dr. Alon Antebi is very good in Lancaster at AVORS (avorsmedgroup.com). See which one will get you in first! The ones with a nationwide reputation in LA is Kerlan-Jobe, closest office is in Pasadena (kerlanjobe.com). Southern California Orthopedic Institute (SCOI) has an excellent rep, closest office is Valencia (SCOI.com). That being said, the most important though perhaps not most urgent is to make sure your Brain stem isn't compromised so that your posture is straight while you heal and you don't get other health complications! For that I recommend GDEDC.com!
Can any one refer me to a good hand specialist I. Los Angeles. Have trigger thumb and tendonitis in hand. Not good for a massage therapist and reflexologist Been getting by but really hurt it tonight working on an obese guy. Icing and taking 800mg of advil now.

Kerlan-Jobe Clinic over by Howard Hughes Center has some of the best orthopedic specialists in LA. Hand/wrist specialists are Steven Shin and David Hay. Check out their website, kerlanjobe.com. I haven't used them, but I have gone there to specialists for other body parts.
Does anyone have a recommendation for an orthopedist in the South Bay (Torrance, Palos Verdes, San Pedro, etc.) or in Orange County that does wrists or general broken bones? If so can you please email me here on FB their contact info? Thank you.
