Pasadena patients see our LAOSS specialists at the Glendale office — a 12-to-18-minute drive from Old Pasadena, South Lake, or the Rose Bowl. Board-certified orthopedic and spine surgeons, sports-medicine team for runners and cyclists, and a PPO-friendly front desk that books you directly with the right specialist.
1505 Wilson Terrace, Suite 310 — about 6 miles from Pasadena.
Pasadena patients have always been some of our most informed — Caltech and JPL engineers, Huntington Hospital staff, Pasadena City College faculty, and a deep bench of physicians and attorneys who want their own ortho care to match the standard they hold their work to. They ask good questions, they expect a real diagnosis, and they don't want to be passed from one referral to the next.
Our Glendale office sits about six miles west of Pasadena — a straight shot down the CA-134, typically 12 to 18 minutes depending on whether you're coming from Old Pasadena, South Lake, Hastings Ranch, or the Linda Vista side near the Rose Bowl. Same building as our Glendale neighborhood patients, same team, same coordinated care — just a short drive for you.
The injury patterns we see most from Pasadena reflect the community: runner's knee and IT-band syndrome from the Rose Bowl Loop, hip impingement and labral tears from cyclists and triathletes, golfer's and tennis elbow from the country-club set, and a steady stream of cervical strain and lumbar pain from the long-haul commutes south on the 110 or east on the 210. Our sports-medicine surgeons, spine team, and pain-management physicians see all of it weekly and can usually give you an answer the same day you're examined.
Fellowship-trained surgeons covering every major joint and the spine — not generalists.
Built for the Rose Bowl Loop crowd — runners, cyclists, golfers, tennis players, and masters athletes who want to keep training.
Most patients get better without surgery. Our pain-management team handles the non-surgical lane.
Most Pasadena patients we see are on PPO plans — and PPO patients can book any LAOSS specialist directly, no referral needed. We're in-network with Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield of California, Cigna, Health Net, United Healthcare, First Health PPO, Tricare, and Triwest/CCN (VA), among others.
If you're on an HMO through Huntington Health, Kaiser, or one of the IPA-managed groups in the San Gabriel Valley, you'll need a referral from your primary care physician (PCP) first — once we have it, the rest of the process is the same. Our front desk can verify your specific IPA contract before you commit to the visit.
We also accept Medicare, workers' compensation claims, and auto-injury (personal-injury) cases. Out-of-network and self-pay patients are welcome too — see our insurance page for the full carrier list or self-pay rates for transparent pricing.
