Medical science has advanced exponentially over the last few years. Despite this, the human body is still prone to numerous muscular and skeletal problems. While these occur because of both minor and severe injuries, they leave a person with excruciating and chronic pain. Fortunately, we have orthopedics, which is the branch of medicine that deals specifically with these issues, and in the home of Hollywood, pain related to the musculoskeletal system is quite common. For that reason, there are some truly amazing orthopedic surgeons in Los Angeles.
Dr. Justin Saliman
I can have more of an impact on humanity by solving a need in the Medtech space than I ever could treating individual patients. If I didn’t do your knee surgery, then someone else would, but if I didn’t build Ceterix, I didn’t believe anyone else would.”
Dr. Justin Saliman is the founder of Ceterix® Orthopaedics and the inventor of the NovoStitch® Pro Meniscal Repair System. He is renowned in the entirety of Los Angeles for his expertise in sewing meniscus tears back together. Dr. Saliman also possesses a sharp eye for details, as he is able to notice even the slightest abnormalities in ligaments and joints in MRI scans. Dr. Saliman has also worked with sports teams like the 49ers and other regional athletic teams. His patients regard him as one of the kindest doctors in this field. Another interesting fact about Dr. Saliman is that he is the grandson of one of the engineers who build the Hoover Dam. He has also published numerous articles on the subjects of arthroscopy techniques, meniscus repairs, and meniscus morphology after failed repairs.
Specialization
As you can already tell that Dr. Saliman has quite the knack to dive deeply into details no matter how small. This allowed him to enhance his skills exponentially in stitching meniscus tears and treating sports injuries. He is able to treat these conditions with the least amount of scarring, most patients claim that they barely notice the scars after a week of the surgery. After performing numerous meniscus tear surgeries, he wanted to develop a method, so that each patient could be treated efficiently. As Dr. Saliman always wanted to pursue entrepreneurship during his college, he combined his medical expertise with his entrepreneurship skills to develop the NovoStitch® Pro Meniscal Repair System, and it generated a revenue of $6 million in the first year of its launch.
Surgeons would blame the biology, claiming blood supply to the meniscus is poor, when in reality poor stitching techniques may contribute more to failure rate rather than just biology.”

Dr. Jason M. Cuéllar
I went through years of rigorous training to be able to help people in pain. The reviews also highlights how important it is to excel at every step of patient care, from the initial phone call, respecting the patient’s time in the waiting room, preparing for surgery, and the post-operative visits. We may think that doing the surgery perfectly is enough but it’s not.”
Dr. Jason M. Cuéllar is Los Angeles-based orthopedic surgeon who approaches patients with compassion and keeps up with the latest findings in the medical world. Dr. Cuéllar is known to be extremely patient with his patients while explaining them even the tiniest details of the surgery to ensure they feel comfortable and confident. He strongly believes that the procedures that were carried out in the past are obsolete, such as vertebral fusion should no longer be performed. Although he is a surgeon, he often recommends non-surgical treatments to his patients with less severe conditions.
Specialization
In the world of orthopedic surgeries or in general, the neck and lower back are extremely delicate due to the fragile nature of the spine, and Dr. Cuéllar specializes in these two body parts. He is renowned for his artificial disk replacement, which has benefitted numerous patients. Dr. Cuéllar is also among the few doctors who have been chosen to utilize the new M6 cervical artificial disc in their procedures. This is a revolutionary product, as it allows the spine to move naturally instead of fusing vertebral columns together.
The M6 cervical artificial disc is finally approved in the US! Dr Lanman and I went to the Orthofix facility in Dallas with a small group of spine surgeons from around the country for the inaugural training session to be the first in the country to be able to implant the M6 disc starting in the next few weeks. It’s an amazing artificial disc, the one disc that most closely replicates the normal motion of a natural disc in the neck.”

Dr. Andrew B. Weiss
As a busy practice, we know people don’t like waiting, so we try to get our patients in and out as quickly as possible. However, with orthopedics we can have same-day emergency patients, so we designed our waiting room with that in mind. That way, if you do have to wait, even for a short period of time, at least it’s in this beautiful space!”
Dr. Weiss is known to be extremely patient with his patients, and he welcomes all concerns and queries. He also ensures that even the waiting patients are comfortable. He began his career by teaching biology and algebra in a high school. Aside from his expertise in orthopedics, Dr. Weiss is also a runner, and he has participated in numerous marathons and a few triathlons as well. Therefore, he possesses first-hand knowledge about the challenges faced by an athlete and the injuries surrounding this sport. Building intricate structures using lego is one of the favorite hobbies of Dr. Weiss.
Specialization
Being an avid runner, he specializes in sports injuries. You can also see his love for children because he developed expertise in treating pediatric orthopedic trauma, which includes the management of broken bones. On the subject of bones, while traditional casts treat broken bones, they need a serious look after around water, therefore, Dr. Weiss put great emphasis on waterproof casts, especially for children.
Thanks to the amazing, waterproof material (aka Gortex) we use to line the fiberglass cast, we make it easy to shower and swim with your cast. Being able to run soap and water through your cast even helps with relieving irritation and prevents it from getting stinky.”

Dr. Frank Petrigliano
As the proportion of the population that relies on Medicaid continues to grow, surgeons must advocate for their patients to improve access to the perioperative resources that may improve surgical outcomes.”

I’m fairly conservative in treating clavicle fractures, but significant shortening and displacement are best treated surgically. I opt for mini fragment double plating, it is a low profile construct that rarely requires a second surgery for hardware removal.”

I picked spine surgery largely because people are so disabled when they come to you from their pain that there is an enormous opportunity to make them better. The reward that you get from seeing someone coming in, in such a fragile state and being so much better as they walk out after the treatment, really drove me toward it.”
