A different kind of practice

Large enough to lead the field. Small enough to know your name.

Most hospitals are designed to serve every specialty at once. DOCS was designed for two: spine and orthopedics. That focus shapes everything a patient experiences here.

At DOCS At a large hospital system
Your surgeon The same surgeon at every visit, in the operating room and after Whoever is scheduled that day
Your time Appointments within days and a team that answers A waitlist and a call center
The technology Selected by the surgeons who use it, and renewed as the field advances Selected by committee, on a budget cycle
The setting Operating rooms and staff devoted to spine and orthopedics Shared across every department
Your recovery A private suite and nurses who know your case A shared floor and a change of shift
The philosophy Regenerative care first, surgery when it is right A procedure for every referral

Our surgeons

Sixteen Physician-Specialists.
One standard.

Each is fellowship-trained and recognized in a single field. The surgeon you meet is the surgeon who operates, and the one who sees you afterward.

Technology

The most advanced tools, in practiced hands.

Robotics and navigation do not replace a surgeon’s judgment. They make it more exact. Every DOCS operating room is equipped for both, and our surgeons use them daily.

  • Robotic joint replacement

    Hip and knee replacement planned from a CT scan of your own joint and carried out to the millimeter.

    Mako

  • Robotic spine surgery

    Each implant is mapped in three dimensions before surgery and guided into place by a robotic arm.

    Mazor X Stealth · ExcelsiusGPS

  • Imaging in the operating room

    Three-dimensional imaging confirms the result before surgery ends. We were the first on the West Coast to have it.

    Excelsius3D

  • Smaller, motion-preserving surgery

    Endoscopic procedures through incisions of a few millimeters, and disc replacement that keeps the spine moving.

Regenerative medicine and longevity

Surgery is one answer. Rarely the first.

Regenerative medicine is part of how we practice, at every stage. We use it to treat acute injuries early, to help patients avoid an operation, and inside the operating room to support the healing of the repairs we perform.

For acute injuries
Biologic treatment in the first days after a tendon, ligament or muscle injury, when it can matter most.
In place of surgery
Platelet-rich plasma, bone marrow concentrate and cartilage restoration that preserve the joint you were born with.
Within surgery
Biologics applied during repairs and reconstructions, as part of the operation itself.
Motion preservation
Disc replacement and endoscopic spine surgery as alternatives to fusion.

Our standing

Where the field comes to learn.

  • We teach

    DOCS physicians founded and direct some of the largest academic symposiums and surgical courses in spine and orthopedics. Surgeons travel here each year to learn the techniques we use every day.

  • We are trusted by athletes

    Professional athletes and fighters, national team members and local high school players are treated here. Each receives the same surgeons, the same technology and the same attention as every other patient.

  • We measure

    Patients report their pain and function before and after treatment, and we track every result. [00]% report meaningful improvement. [OUTCOMEMD FIGURES]
