Raffy Mirzayan, M.D.Double-Board Certified
Orthopedic Sports Medicine Surgeon Los Angeles, California

Dr. Raffy Mirzayan is one of Los Angeles' most accomplished and innovative orthopedic sports medicine surgeons — bringing 25 years of expertise, a deeply personal approach to care, and a track record of pioneering techniques that have changed the field.

A UCLA graduate with Departmental Honors in Kinesiology, Dr. Mirzayan earned his medical degree from the USC Keck School of Medicine with Alpha Omega Alpha honors — the highest distinction in academic medicine. He completed his orthopedic surgery residency at Los Angeles County + USC Medical Center, where he served as Chief Resident, followed by a sports medicine fellowship at the world-renowned Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic — where he served as assistant team physician to the Lakers, Dodgers, Angels, Kings, Ducks, Galaxy, and Sparks.

A Surgeon Who Listens First

What sets Dr. Mirzayan apart begins long before the operating room. He believes that truly exceptional care starts with understanding not just your injury — but your life, your goals, and what recovery means to you personally. Whether your priority is returning to competition as quickly as possible, avoiding a joint replacement, minimizing scarring, or simply living without pain — your treatment plan is built around you.

Dr. Mirzayan takes a comprehensive approach to every patient, exploring all non-surgical and surgical options before recommending a path forward. He never performs the same surgery on every patient. He performs the right surgery for each one.

Innovator. Pioneer. Thought Leader.

Dr. Mirzayan is the inventor of many surgical techniques quickly becoming adopted by orthopedic surgeons worldwide:

  • Biologic Tuberoplasty™ — A minimally invasive, arthroscopic alternative to reverse shoulder replacement for patients with massive, irreparable rotator cuff tears. A same-day procedure allowing patients to return to golf, tennis, and pickleball within a few short months.
  • BioPFJ™ — A biological cartilage restoration technique for the patella (knee cap) and trochlea (groove), allowing patients with significant knee cartilage damage to avoid metal and plastic joint replacement and return to an active lifestyle.
  • Double Button Tommy John Surgery — An innovative approach to ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction (Tommy John surgery) that has helped overhead athletes and baseball players return to throwing at full strength.

When others have said “nothing more can be done”, Dr. Mirzayan has used his out-of-the-box thinking and willingness to develop new solutions to give countless patients options they were told simply didn't exist.

What Makes Dr. Mirzayan Different

In a city with no shortage of talented orthopedic surgeons, here is why patients — and their doctors — choose Dr. Mirzayan.

Unmatched Experience

Experience is not just measured in years — it's measured in cases, complexity, and outcomes. Dr. Mirzayan has spent 25 years building one of the highest-volume orthopedic practices in Southern California, earning a reputation as the surgeon other surgeons refer their most difficult cases to. His case volume speaks for itself:

  • 1,000+ rotator cuff repairs
  • 1,000+ elbow arthroscopies
  • 400+ biceps and triceps repairs and reconstructions
  • 350+ osteochondral allograft transplantations
  • 350+ Tommy John surgeries
  • 100+ residents trained over 20 years as Director of Resident Education

This level of volume means that whatever you are facing — whether a straightforward case or a complex major reconstructive case — Dr. Mirzayan has seen it, treated it, and published on it.

Nationally and Internationally Recognized

Dr. Mirzayan is not just practicing at the forefront of orthopedic surgery — he is helping define it. He is a sought-after speaker at national and international meetings, a Key Opinion Leader and consultant to the medical device industry, and an active contributor to product development and the advancement of surgical techniques globally.

He has been consistently recognized among the top orthopedic surgeons in the country:

  • America's Top Doctors — 2009 through 2016
  • Castle Connolly Top Doctor — 2016 through 2026 (ten consecutive years)
  • Modern Luxury Los Angeles Top Doctor — 2022 through 2024

These recognitions place him in the top 7% of physicians nationally — not based on self-promotion, but on peer nomination and rigorous independent review.

A Researcher and Educator Who Never Stops Learning

Dr. Mirzayan's commitment to excellence extends far beyond his own practice. As Co-Founder and Co-Director of Shoulder360™ — one of the largest shoulder surgery courses in the United States — he regularly convenes and learns alongside the world's leading orthopedic surgeons. This constant engagement with global thought leaders means his patients benefit directly from the very latest advances in the field.

His academic record includes over 150 peer-reviewed publications, over 200 podium presentations, and three edited textbooks — making him one of the most published orthopedic surgeons of his generation. As Director of Resident Education for 20 years, he has trained over 100 orthopedic surgeons — many of whom now refer their most complex cases back to him.

Concierge Care. World-Class Results.

Dr. Mirzayan practices as a concierge orthopedic surgeon — meaning you receive direct, personalized access to one of the most experienced and innovative surgeons in the country, without the limitations of a large health system. Every patient receives his full attention, a customized treatment plan, and the confidence that comes from knowing your surgeon is genuinely invested in your outcome.

He is an active member of the most prestigious societies in orthopedic surgery and sports medicine — including AAOS, ASES, AOSSM, AANA, MOCA, and ISAKOS — and has received numerous awards including the AOA-Zimmer Award, Vernon P. Thompson Award, and DePuy Research Award.

His Mission

"To provide the highest quality, most personalized care using cutting-edge, innovative technologies — treating every patient as an individual, not a diagnosis."
