Biography

Dr. Jason Ghodasra attended Duke University, where he was inducted into the Phi Beta Kappa Honor Society and graduated magna cum laude. He received the Jerold A. Lein Endowed Scholarship to attend medical school at Northwestern University, graduating with distinction and completing a M.D./M.S.C.I. dual degree (Medical Degree and Master of Science in Clinical Investigation). He completed his orthopedic surgery residency at UCLA where he was elected and served as the chief resident in his final year. Dr. Ghodasra also completed a hand and upper extremity surgery fellowship in Baltimore, Maryland at the world-renowned Curtis National Hand Center.

Dr. Ghodasra has published over 20 peer-reviewed articles in orthopedic and medical journals and given over 50 national and international presentations, covering topics including the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cells in orthopedic surgery. He is passionate about being at the cutting edge of orthopedic research and takes great pride in providing his patients with the most advanced orthopedic care. Dr. Ghodasra utilizes non-surgical treatments as well as minimally invasive surgery, including endoscopic carpal tunnel release and arthroscopic surgery.

He has traveled on medical mission trips to underserved communities and from has provided free orthopedic care in the Dominican Republic and Ethiopia. He belongs to several professional organizations including the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, the American Society for Surgery of the Hand, and the American Association for Hand Surgery. He was also selected to become a member of the American Orthopaedic Association Emerging Leaders Forum.
