About Me
Hello, my name is Dr. Dan Chivas. Thank you for visiting my Web page and considering me as your doctor.
Biography
I am from the Midwest originally and came to Southern California to complete my education and training at USC. I really enjoy the weather, lifestyle, and diverse culture of Los Angeles.
About my practice
I am an orthopedic surgeon specializing in hip and knee replacement surgery. I believe hip and knee replacements can change your quality of life dramatically if you are suffering from arthritis. However, I also believe that having surgery is a big decision for you to make and that there may be non-operative treatments available. Together, we can come up with a treatment plan that is right for you.
How I thrive
My thriving is probably a lot like yours, a work in progress. However, I do try to eat healthier and in better portion sizes, get to the gym, read a book, turn the TV off once in a while, and get enough sleep.
