Hey, I'm Dr. Ariana Demers, an Orthopedic Sports Medicine Surgeon. I have successfully integrated Orthobiologics into my busy practice so that I can provide a Continuum of care and treat patients in the gap. This is the gray area in Orthopedics where standard conservative treatments are ineffective but surgery may not be warranted. And, we usually tell our patients to come back when their issue/illness becomes worse. What?! 😲 These are your patients coming to you for health and Orthobiologics is the solution that can help fill the gap and help you treat your patients in your office looking up to you for help. Share and follow for more about how we can help you create the business of Orthobiologics and make you love your job again. 👩🏻⚕️🥼🩺 #ListenToYourPatients #ListenToUnderstand #PatientCenteredCare #ActiveListening #PatientNeeds #TailoredCare #EnhancedPatientSatisfaction #UnlockPatientStories #SecretsOfCare #BestPracticesInListening #PatientPreferences

🌟 Long Beach Lakewood Orthopedic Institute in the News 🌟 We're excited to announce that Dr. Andrew Wassef has been featured in an article on Forbes.com! Dr. Wassef performs over 100 revisions annually. “The number of neglected patients with failed joint replacements is staggering, and the stories they tell are hard to hear with many looking far and wide for an orthopedic surgeon willing to treat them. The few surgeons qualified and willing to care for these complex patients endure greater liability, greater personal stress, greater complications, lower hourly reimbursement, and undue institutional pressure for these costly episodes of care. The script needs to flip. We should be enabling and rewarding the doctors who treat this vulnerable population – not demoralizing them.” The waitlist to schedule an initial consultation in his Southern California “revision clinic” is six months, underscoring the high demand and critical need for his expertise.
