OUTPATIENT PROCEDURES
As one of the best orthopedic surgeons Torrance and Manhattan Beach have to offer, Dr. Chris Mellano believes that your time is valuable. His approach factors in eventualities like your recovery time, physical therapy, hospital stays, and other aspects of healing other than the surgery itself. That philosophy has led Dr. Chris Mellano to develop multiple outpatient procedures that achieve the same results as major surgery - without the hospital stays or lengthy downtime.
DR. CHRIS MELLANO
MOVED TO IMPROVE
“As an active person, the things that bring me joy are fueled by movement. I’m a father of three young kids, and I love chasing them around. My practice goal is to help you enjoy whatever moves you.
“During my time with the Chicago White Sox and Chicago Bulls, I worked with athletes whose livelihoods depended on performing at a high physical level. When I trained with innovative surgeons like Dr. Joel Matta, I was fascinated by the idea of innovating procedures to reduce downtimes. This would be valuable not just for professional athletes, but for every patient. Orthopedic surgery is about much more than just muscle and bone. It means freedom, joy, and restoration. That’s why I tell my patients and staff that we are not in the business of surgery — we are in the business of changing lives.”
