From diagnostic imaging through surgery and rehab, LAOSS covers the full orthopedic spectrum — surgical specialties, non-surgical treatments, in-house imaging, and image-guided pain procedures — all coordinated by the same care team across eight Los Angeles offices.
Surgical and non-surgical specialty care, coordinated end-to-end.
LAOSS is a full-service orthopedic group. That means whatever piece of your care you need — a same-day X-ray, a second opinion on a herniated disc, a knee replacement, an image-guided injection, or just a clear answer about what's going on — you can get it from the same team, in the same chart, at one of our eight offices.
Most of what we do falls into four buckets:
The goal is to keep your care under one roof — so your surgeon, your imaging, your therapy plan, and your pain procedures all talk to each other instead of you having to coordinate between five different practices.
