Thank you Dr. Woodson for giving me back my mobility. Even just these past two weeks have been life changing already.
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
Dear Dr. Klug and Staff,
Thank you all so much for being there for me during this pandemic. A special thank you fo Dr. Klug for doing what you do and helping so many people along the way. You guys are all great!!!
Excellent doctor, friendly, attentive, and enthusiastic. He performed two surgeries on my aunt to fix her badly damaged knees. She is now pain-free after many years of limping. I would refer him to anyone with knee problems. Thank you!
I was referred to Dr. Bernbeck from my previous Orthopedic Surgeon who was leaving the state. Great referral! Without going into the details of the issue with my back, I needed to get the previous surgery corrected. Dr. Bernbeck used multiple tests to isolate the problem, recommend a corrective procedure and describe his entire process from pre surgery home activity through surgery, post op recovery and home health services with physical therapy. Both my wife and I were impressed with his thoroughness in explaining everything including risks. Surgery went to plan, even had someone who monitored spinal signal flow via stimulus and response signals, to ensure my safety during the procedure. Dr. Bernbeck was there daily to check on me after surgery. I am very satisfied with the results just a few weeks after surgery. Dr. Bernbeck is excellent, easy to work with, nice guy, great surgeon. I would highly recommend him to anyone who would welcome a thorough evaluation and a competent surgeon.
Happy Thanksgiving Dr. Woodson & Staff! I am thankful that you guys took such great care of me and my knee!
The surgery went extremely successfully. From years of disability and pain straight to being able to put your own socks on for the first time in 5 years and after that straight to the prospect of jogging and hiking in the mountains. Honestly, did not expected such a pace. And also did not expected the pace the memory of chronic pain vanishes. Very happy about that.
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.
Thank you! My left shoulder is so much better!
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, You probably remember me telling you this, but this is the first time I needed surgery. To be honest, I wouldn’t have it any other way and you as my surgeon. I wanted to thank you for being so wonderful in probably one of the worst things to happen to me.
