Dr. Chris Woodson is a phenomenal orthopedic doctor and surgeon. I would recommend him to anyone needing an orthopedic specialist. Not only is he a great doctor and surgeon with a warm bed side manner, he is very responsive and proactive with his patients. He came in at the 11th hour to save my son from an unnecessary surgery. My 9 year old son fell on his elbow at school and we thought it was broken. The elbow specialist we saw the day of the accident insisted that he needed surgery right away to repair the damage. He insisted the repairs needed to be done immediately before the elbow continued to grow, making a 100% recovery impossible. As I prepared to take my son to the hospital for surgery, Dr. Woodson reviewed my son’s x-rays and within hours of leaving for the hospital, Dr. Woodson called to say that HE DID NOT NEED SURGERY! After reviewing the xrays, he determined that what looks like a break is actually the growth plate, and he 100% does not need surgery. That was five years ago, my son did not have the surgery. His elbow healed perfectly on its own and he’s is 100%. I am forever indebted to Dr. Woodson for his expertise, and will unconditionally recommend him to others.
BOSI Orthopedic Specialists
The Beginning
In 2017 Dr. Christopher Woodson and Dr. Raymond Klug founded Beach Orthopaedic Specialty Institute (BOSI), the premier orthopedic provider to Orange County, Greater Long Beach, and the South Bay of Los Angeles, CA. In 2021, Beach Orthopaedics welcomed Dr. Johannes Bernbeck who has over 30 years experience in surgery of the spine. The vision of the practice is to provide the highest quality evidence-based orthopedic care in the area within a personalized and efficient office setting.

In addition, they are all passionate about clinical outcomes, exploring the newest innovations in orthopedic surgery, clinical research, and explaining treatment options to patients in a systematic fashion.

Dear Dr. Woodson, I’m so thankful to you. I’m so very appreciative of your surgery skill on my ankle. the world is a much better place because of great people like you.
Dr Klug,
Thanks for listening to me and sending me to the two doctors. It makes all the difference in the world.
My first knee injury was in 1972, a torn ACL and MCL playing sports. Followed by 8 arthroscopic surgeries. I first saw Dr. Woodson in 2015 in absolute desperation, and he recommended a total knee replacement. I was terrified. However the surgery was necessary and I have a very physically demanding job. I thought I was done professionally.
I couldn’t possibly be more pleased with the results, 100% recovery and increase in quality of life. To the point of having my second knee done in 2017. All it did was completely change my life, and give me my life back after 43 years.
Thank you and your staff for all you did for me, I can’t convey my gratitude enough.
Dr. Woodson, I can’t believe that it’s been a year since you did my double knee replacement! You did an amazing job, as I am now receiving my quality of life back! I’m retired now and am enjoying my life again. Thank you so much for giving me that gift. I’m so grateful.
