Kambiz Behzadi, M.D.

Dr. Behzadi treats people of all ages, with special emphasis on high school, college and recreational athletes as well as the injured worker. His first goal is to provide appropriate and individual care for each patient who comes through the door, tailoring a care plan that is suited to each patient's individual needs.  

Individual Attention & Continuum of Care

Dr. Behzadi works closely with other physicians and therapists to provide a continuum of care for his patients. The needs of patients are addressed at every juncture, from pre-op education to post-surgical rehabilitation. Patients preparing for joint reconstruction surgery take part in an educational program that has led to a dramatic reduction in length of hospital stay.
