Dr. Bernbeck is a life changer, please don’t take those words as an overstatement. I’m in my mid 30’s having played sports all my life, I hurt my back in May, tried to tough through the pain and wound up on my back for the full month of October. I saw my primary, 2 chiropractors, a sports chiro/wellness center, and even upon getting an epidural everyone said surgery was in my short term future. Dr. Bernbeck suggested a different path via physical therapy and evolving my workout plan to strengthen the supporting muscles. Here I stand a year post injury feeling better than I have since my 20’s, I have my life back (no pun intended) and couldn’t be more thankful. The thought of back surgery in your 30’s felt like I was going to be giving up so much of what makes me me and now I’m not living in a world of fear of a setback and struggling to get off of the ground. I cannot thank Dr. Bernbeck and the amazing staff for getting me back to me. Who’d have thought that a surgeon’s first move would be to provide a path without surgery rather than just hit go, but that’s exactly what he did.
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 spine surgery. In 2025, BOSI expanded its team with the addition of Dr. Armin Arshi, an orthopedic surgeon specializing in hip replacement and knee replacement and reconstruction. 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 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
Dr. Arshi is a wonderful Doctor and surgeon. I recommend him to everyone who has problems with their knees/hips. He has taken great care of me & my 80+ mother. He’s very caring, listens & always responds when you reach ou to him. I’m walking because of Dr. Arshi.
Dr. Woodson, Thank you for “putting me back together again.” I really appreciate you! You’re 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!!!
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.
Dear Dr. Woodson, We cannot thank you enough for taking such great care of our son. We appreciate you more than you know. From getting him in for an appointment right away to putting his collar bone back together (again… thank you for scheduling his surgery so quickly), we cannot be more grateful. You are truly wonderful. All our thanks.
Thank you so much for the exceptional care you and your staff provided for my knee replacement surgery. I am beyond grateful and so fortunate to have had you as part of my team in this journey. I am looking forward to seeing great improvement in my life because of you. Thank You.
I just wanted to send you a big THANKS for coming to my rescue!! Because of your help I was able to soak up all the beauty of our 30th anniversary trip!! I hiked, danced, swam, walked for miles up and down stairs, went boating, sat for long dinners, plane and train rides!! Oh and ziplined, went sliding and laid flat to enter the grotta azzurra of Capri! Little to zero pain!! I appreciate you so much!
I wish to mention your staff Megan as a dedicated and knowledgeable member of your group. I recently had hip replacement surgery with Dr Woodson, and Megan was always very keen in responding to my questions and making sure I understood. She was also very sympathetic to my state of mind towards the surgery and very reassuring, which was so important to me. I really wish to commend Beach Orthopedics
For their choice in a staff with such an exceptional member as Megan. She always had a good answer to my questions and made me feel very secure about the surgery. Congratulations on a job well done!!
To Dr. Klug and The Amazing Staff,
