X-rays were taken in the office on my initial visit. Dr. Ramin did various tests to check my mobility. I was sent for an MRI, and once the results showed no tear, I had a cortisone shot and started PT. Dr. Ramin even said to call if I needed a follow-up. You don't hear that from doctors.

Sports Medicine
The field of medicine is vast and constantly changing. As new science and technology evolves, so too does the practice of medicine and the advancement of its subspecialties. One such advancement is the development of the field of sports medicine. Traditionally sports medicine has dealt with musculoskeletal injuries sustained by the athlete and thus has classically been a responsibility assumed by the orthopedic surgeon. However, as the influence of sports and athletics rapidly expanded within our culture it became clear that medical care for the athlete meant more than just orthopedic care for the professional or elite athlete. It also meant care for people who participated in recreational athletics or simply used exercise to stay healthy and active.

“Dr. Jaivin performed surgery on my foot this past February. I had a previous surgery from a doctor from another facility, which had not healed properly. Dr. Jaivin corrected problems, which were not resolved in the previous surgery. I had consulted with several doctors, who would not perform the surgery. I spent months researching doctors. It appeared that Dr. Jaivin was the best doctor for my surgery. Both Dr. Jaivin and his staff were awesome! My medical care and results of my surgery were better than I ever expected. I would recommend Dr. Jaivin to anybody requiring foot surgery!”
