Our Founders
Dr. Robert Kerlan & Dr. Frank Jobe
Fathers of Modern Sports Medicine
Welcome to the original Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic, founded by pioneers of modern sports medicine, Dr. Robert K. Kerlan and Dr. Frank Jobe. Their legacy is defined by innovation, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
At a time when sports medicine didn’t yet exist, Dr. Kerlan volunteered with Los Angeles teams, helping shape the field after the Los Angeles Dodgers’ World Series win soon followed his appointment as team doctor.
Dr. Jobe later made history by performing the first Tommy John surgery on Dodgers pitcher Tommy John—one of the most significant medical breakthroughs in sports.
Our Team

Patient Testimonials
highly skilled surgeon
“Dr. Kvitne operated on my shoulder 3 years ago and I had a perfect recovery and no problems since and I do not see a scar. He is kind with a great bedside manor and a highly skilled surgeon.”
Dr. Kharrazi truly got me back on my feet—literally.
One year ago, I tore several ligaments in my knee, and now I’m able to do the things I enjoy again.
His expertise, knowledge, and confidence are what made me choose him as my surgeon, and I will always be grateful to him and his entire team. Rudy, his assistant; Norma, who was always so prompt with all of my emails; and Blanca, who helped with forms—each of them made a difference. I can’t thank them enough for being there with me every step of the way.
I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Kvitne
“My experience with Dr Kvitne was amazing he is a outstanding Doctor what a talented man he is my knee was in such bad shape he did not have much to work with but he got in there and fixed me up there was so much that had to be repaired Dr Kvitne with his knowledge and experience repaired my knee so nicely done I have had knee surgery before but never like this I can’t say enough good things about Dr Kvitne awesome human being as well as a awesome excellent Doctor!!”
Dr. Kharrazi gave me my mobility back
After 2 knee surgeries with other Orthopedics I must say that Dr. Kharrazi is a miracle worker. I have my mobility back and my pain level is so greatly improved. Thanks Dr. K!
