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. 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. Dr. Kushagra Verma was later recruited to care for pediatric and adult spine patients.
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.
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.
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.
Dr. Verma, Thank you and your team for everything you all have done for our daughter. At 14 years old I cannot begin to tell you how many people ask “why didn’t you to to Children’s?” My answer is always simple.. It’s your personal care and attention to detail. You treater her as though she was your own and for that we cannot thank you enough.

I had my first appointment with Dr. Verma in mid-June, 2018 for what would be diagnosed as an enlarged herniated disc pinching on my sciatic nerve. I was experiencing an excruciating amount of discomfort and pain – I could barely stand, I could hardly walk, and could only sit in certain positions. It was very easy to make an appointment and I never waited very long to be seen in any of my check-ups or follow ups. When describing my condition, he was extremely thorough in his explanation, recommendations, and recovery expectations- always ensuring I understood the situation.
His voice is soft, but not quiet, he is confident, but not arrogant and his concern is genuine – a combination that gave me enormous comfort in making the decision to have surgery on my back. Throughout his treatment I truly felt he went above and beyond offering information and assurances. He personalized the treatment, exhibiting true concern for me by personally – not just having a nurse or staff member call – personally following up before my surgery, immediately after the operation and then numerous times during my recovery process. Additionally, the nurses and staff at his office returned calls, forwarded messages, and assisted with paperwork quickly and professionally. While surgery is always a scary endeavor, Dr. Verma was there throughout to answer any questions and address all of my concerns. My family and I are truly grateful to Dr. Verma, as my recovery is nearly complete I am feeling incredibly better.

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 heartily endorse going pain-free.
As for what gave me the most relief? I’m not really sure as there was no “magic bullet”. It could be the 6 months of healing time. It could be the Durolane. It could be the Gabapentin or the Methylpredisolone. Or it could be that the whole team is finally learning to pull together.
Whatever it is, I’m grateful (my whole family is grateful) for the relief and I didn’t want to just “disappear” without letting you know what was going on and to thank you for your time and your help and considerations.

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.

Dr Kushgara Verma was very thorough in his assessment of my physical complaint. He compared old MRI data to the current scans. Dr Verma spent quite a while explaining the test results at several appointments and then the options to resolve the problem. I felt very at ease knowing he was doing my surgery. After surgery Dr Verma was wonderfully attentive, calling to get frequent updates and visiting 2-3 times each day. Once home he called my husband to keep abreast of my status. I trust his judgement and his ethics of his practice. His kindness was very appreciated. His office, Beach Orthopaedics in Los Alamitos, was very efficient with information and paperwork. Staff is friendly and helpful. While surgery is never “fun” my experience as a surgical patient of Dr Verma was fabulous and I trust him implicitly.

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.

Four months of frustration with loss of feeling and motor skills in my hands and legs, led me to meet Dr. Verma. Within minutes of seeing my neck MRI, he was able to diagnose, and suggest the best options to help me return to normal day to day life. I was in an accident last year and like most people, I felt fine right after and didn’t think anything until I started noticing small things in my legs and hands that started working differently with less ability in both. Dr. Verma was extremely personable in our initial consultation and was very up front and honest with my options. After doing my due diligence, and learning about Dr. Verma’s skills, experience, and outreach, I knew I was in the best hands and decided to move forward with my ACDF procedure. Dr. Verma and everyone at his office, worked diligently to help me get the best appointment available and made me feel like I was the only patient they were focusing on. This is HUGE in my eyes. The day of my procedure, I was a bit anxious but everything from the pre-op to post-op wheelchair ride out, was extremely comfortable. Especially Dr. Verma’s follow ups, checking in on me after a swift operation. I really felt like he was my personal surgeon and we went through this together. He was always patient with all of my questions, concerns, and ALWAYS asked if there was anything else I was feeling or thinking about. I’m confident you will not find a surgeon with a more personal concierge approach to his practice. I just got back home from a beautiful long walk outside with my niece and nephew and I’m feeling grateful to have met Dr. Verma and I highly recommend him as a surgeon.

Great Doctor and Surgeon! Dr Verma is greatly involved in his patients success. The care he provides before and after surgery is exceptional.

Dr. Verma is compassionate and caring. He spoke with me about my options and suggested researching. He gave me his personal cell number for any questions. He called me to ensure that my post op was going as planned without problems.
Back surgery 1/2018. One year later I am able to do daily activities without pain. He has followed my progress and made suggestions for my plan. I highly recommend Dr. Verma to anyone needing back surgery and care!
