Sports and athletics have always been an important part of my life, and I attribute much of my own health and well-being to being stubbornly insistent on leading a physically active lifestyle. Movement and activity are paramount to optimal health. This is true for all walks of life and at any age in life.
I chose the specialty of sports medicine not only because I myself am a lifelong athlete, but because it's the only medical specialty that values movement and offers non-surgical methods to restore movement. Growing up in the South Bay, I'm privileged to start my private practice in Torrance, California, and to offer leading-edge medical and non-surgical treatments to keep you moving!

Dr. Lai has been my doctor for a handful of years. When he opened his own practice, I was sad he was leaving the network I was a part of. But when given the chance to visit him for an injury I had, I didn’t hesitate to give him a call. And in true Dr. Lai fashion, he did not disappoint. Staff is great, warm and professional. And Dr. Lai is still my favorite doctor. Personable, easy to talk to, detailed in explanation, remembers past visits and follows up on stuff to make sure I’m still on the right path to good health and alwayssss makes me feel seen. I don’t feel like a number to him. I

I'm a local physical therapist, and I have sent so many patients to Dr. Jeffrey Lai. I've seen him myself for a chronic issue, and he has got to be one of the most thorough sports docs out there. I will give you $100 if you feel like a 'number' at this office. If it means anything on this site, his satisfaction rate by my patients has been 100%. More than half have disclosed that it was actually the best DOCTOR visit that they've ever had. I'll continue to send my appropriate patients here above all else. This is unsolicited, and you'll very likely just

Dr.lai is very professional, knowledgeable, empathetic and kind.
I had hard time to find a doctor to treat two tendinitis on my hand with ultrasound and prolotherapy( dextrose ).
I got prolotherapy with ultrasound in his office .
It was very successful treatment.
He answered to all my questions and concerns.
I highly recommend Dr.Lai if you have tendonitis or any ortho problems.

I'm so glad to have discovered this place through Groupon. Dr. Jeffrey Lai is extremely skilled at what he does and what results he wants for his patients. I went in to get PRP injection for both knees and I also got trigger point injection for both quadricep muscle. Its been two weeks since my PRP injection, I have zero pain on both of my knees. I can't thank Dr. Lai enough for addressing my concerns. Hands down, the best doctor I ever met! He took the time to ask questions and got to know me more. I never felt rushed and felt comfortable throughout the whole process and I knew I made

My experience with Dr. Lai's office has exceeded my expectations. I have seen Dr. Lai for a concussion and PCS and am grateful to be navigating my injury in Dr. Lai's care. Sadly these days you don't expect to find an office as wonderful as this, nor is it easy to find a Dr so commited to your care and ensuring you get better!! Appointments run on time, are organized and prepared. The reception staff is familiar with you and your needs. Blanca is very sweet and professional. Communication has been easy and more importantly Dr. Lai is compassionate, listens, and is very knowledgeable

Dr. Lai is professional, attentive, and very thorough. Our daughter injured her knee in a ski accident, with significant swelling and discomfort. Each visit with Dr. Lai was very calm and reassuring. Dr. Lai took the time to carefully examine her knee and review any ultrasounds with us. He walked us through the ultrasound, explaining what we were looking at and made excellent recommendations. He listened to all questions and concerns and made us feel comfortable asking questions. Her knee has healed beautifully and we are so thankful to Dr. Lai for his patient and expert care.
