I am a very active person and have been exercising religiously for 40 years. When you wake up one day and find you suddenly cannot walk 10 feet, in constant pain, it is pretty scary! At an eye appointment one floor below, the Nurse saw my pain and gave me the name of Doctor Bernbeck’s practice. They saw me immediately, which itself is a minor miracle. After trying Physical Therapy for six weeks, it was obvious my condition – spinal stenosis – was getting worse by the day. On October 8th Doctor Bernbeck operated on me, by Thanksgiving I was back in the gym. Currently it is like “nothing ever happened”, which leaves my wife and friends awestruck. I will forever be grateful that I happened upon this practice and this doctor. Great Job!!!!!
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.
Top-Notch Treatment
BOSI’s orthopedic surgeons are all fellowship trained. 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. Non-operative modalities are the mainstay of treatment for most patients. When these treatments fail, surgery is carefully considered and personalized for each patient.
State-of-the-art Office
Our office facility is state-of-the-art with in-house x-ray, ultrasound, biologics, bracing, casting, and all facets of orthopedic care. Patient rooms have been thoughtfully designed with large wireless imaging screens to allow for careful review of radiographs or MRIs with patients and families. Beach Orthopaedic Specialty Institute is conveniently located adjacent to the Los Alamitos Medical Center.
A Personal Approach
The goal of Beach Orthopedic’s surgeons is to help patients make the best informed decisions regarding their treatment. The staff at BOSI is exceptional and hand-picked for their years of experience, compassionate personalities, and outstanding work ethic. Our friendly office staff is like a family and takes pride in guiding patients every step along the way from the initial check-in process all the way through your recovery.

Testimonials
Thanks for taking care of me.
No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. Your allowing me to continue another (at home therapy) for a second session meant so much for me. Milton’s Alzheimer’s is a struggle to monitor.
Thank you phrase is simple and the words are few, but behind them are a whole lot of appreciation.
I am not nervous or anxious about going into an operating room-but I’ve always left it up to the surgeon as to whether he wants me “out” when I’m wheeled in or if I can be awake and help move myself from the gurney to the table. After all, it’s their show. This was the first time I was fully awake and was on the gurney when Dr. Bernbeck stood over me, introduced me to the surgical team and went over the procedure, what he expected and what he wanted ready to go for the operation. For me, it was so very interesting-and appreciated. I can imagine that it doesn’t work for everyone and there are time constraints, anxiety levels, etc. that can change from patient- to- patient, but for me, it was the very best experience. Add to that his talent and you have another star.
I just had total knee replacement by Dr. Woodson.
He is a very talented, bright, kind and personable surgeon. Dr. Woodson really cares about his patients and is quite funny as well, a very rare quality in an orthopedic surgeon, but this added to my healing process. He is very respected and has great relationships with his colleagues and sent me to the Best rehab center and the Best physical therapist. Dr. Woodson also has an amazingly wonderful staff especially Estela, who took me under her wings of kindness, until I was good to go. My surgery has changed my life and I have just retired and I cannot recommend Dr. Woodson higher. He has great gifts as a surgeon and as a person. He is the Best.
I had been living with a torn labrum and bone spur in my hip for 6 years. Prior to this discovery I was constantly searching for a reason why my hip hurt all the time. I finally came to Dr. Woodson from a referral from my doctor’s office and he confidently told me he could take care of me. After a couple visits I decided to go thru with the surgery to repair this. He told me once the surgery was complete I would feel no pain. I am amazed and so very pleased!!! NO PAIN IS RIGHT!! My surgery was just 3 days ago and I feel amazing. I am on my way to recovery and just want to say thank you to him and his staff. They reassured me every step of the way all the way to the operating table. I can go on and on……he is a wonderful surgeon and doctor!!!
Dear Dr. Woodson, I just wanted to say thank you for all of the years of professional care you have given me. You are a wonderful, and a kind doctor. Just a great person.
Dear Dr. Woodson,
Here’s a little thank you gift to let you know how much I appreciate you. FYI, I can almost fully extend my left leg, lol!
I’ve been working on it. So lucky to have you taking care of me.
Dr. Woodson, You have truly blessed me and Brittany with your God-given talents! I am so grateful to be on the path to healing and recovery and get back to an active lifestyle. How amazing for you to be blessed with the gift of healing, and I am so grateful! Thank you so much! May God richly bless you and your family! All the best!
Dr Woodson, Thank you for repairing my knee so I could get back to playing volleyball. Thank you for being so kind, when that has been the hardest thing I’ve gone through.
