Large Van Nuys orthopaedic institute with 27 surgeons, on-site imaging, therapy and an outpatient surgery centre; offers image-guided orthobiologic injections.
The Southern California Orthopedic Institute, usually shortened to SCOI, is a long-established private orthopaedic practice in Los Angeles County. The Van Nuys site is its main location and is a large facility rather than a single consulting room: it combines clinics, an outpatient surgery centre, imaging and rehabilitation on one site.
Care is delivered by a big team - the site lists 27 medical doctors, 13 physician assistants and 15 physical and occupational therapists. Sub-specialties cover the ankle, foot, knee, hip, shoulder, elbow, hand, wrist, neck and spine, plus joint replacement, pain management, sports medicine, concussion care and children's orthopaedics. Imaging on site includes magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), digital X-ray and musculoskeletal ultrasound. The practice also runs a sports injury screening clinic, a workers' compensation programme, telemedicine appointments and medical-legal expert work.
Orthobiologics is listed as one of the specialties. The institute's orthobiologics material describes non-surgical, image-guided injections using platelet-rich plasma (PRP) prepared from the patient's own blood, and cell therapy using bone marrow aspirate or fat (adipose) tissue, again taken from the patient. No donor-derived, umbilical cord or exosome product is named. These injections are presented as part of a wider treatment plan rather than as stand-alone treatment.
The practice covers general orthopaedics very broadly. For the injection treatments in particular, ask what published evidence supports their use in your specific condition.
Everything named comes from the patient's own body; no donor product is described.
The Van Nuys page lists a very large medical team; a selection of the named surgeons follows.
The Van Nuys location is at 6815 Noble Avenue, Van Nuys, California 91405, near the corner of Vanowen Street and Noble Avenue, about a mile from the Victory Boulevard exit of the 405 freeway and next to Valley Presbyterian Hospital. It is open Monday to Friday, 7am to 5pm. The site includes an outpatient surgery centre, MRI, digital X-ray, musculoskeletal ultrasound and physical and occupational therapy. No founding year, languages other than English, or international patient service is stated on the page.
No prices are published. Standard orthopaedic care here is normally billed to insurance and the practice runs a workers' compensation programme, but orthobiologic injections are often not covered, so ask the office what they cost before booking.
