"A tribute to Dr. Jaivin – A poem I will write
To a dear gentleman wonderful and bright
Doctor Jaivin is his name
And orthopedic surgery is his fame
He is a gentleman one of a kind
A better doctor than you no one can find
You are helping people all the time
That's why for you this poem I rhyme
You treat everyone with lots of love
You should be blessed by the Lord above
You all can be sure
With Doctor Jaivin you will find a cure
Everything about you is very true
That's why everyone loves you
I wish you happiness and all the rest
Doctor Jaivin, you are the best”

  • “I came to know SCOI as a result of a reconstruction surgery my son had on his shoulder. I was so impressed with the results and care that when my feet started giving me fits, I researched a doctor at SCOI.  Dr. Jaivin was the only one that just worked on feet so I figured he has to be the best for me. I was not wrong. My first experience was when Dr. Jaivin operated on both feet for Tarsal Tunnel. My experience was amazing. I had no post-operation pain. Prior to the operation, I was a virtually crippled. With this operation, both feet are pain-free from this issue.”

  • “Dr. Jaivin - and the entire staff at Southern California Orthopedic Institute - has been an amazing help while I have been recovering from a foot fracture.  From day one until today - 9 weeks later - I have felt like I am in extremely loving and capable hands.  Everyone at SCOI has been very friendly and helpful, and instead of pushing sales of their own equipment, they are realistic in the need for patients to save money.  I absolutely adore that they replace the casts every two weeks, allowing for the patients to remain a LOT more comfortable than wearing the same cast for 6-8 weeks straight.  I have been through a fractured foot before, during which time I was under the care of a different orthopedist, and the recovery was a lot more torturous than this time around.  I truly believe that going to SCOI has made a horrible situation much more manageable. - Lynsey S.”

  • “Back to Dr. Jaivin's today for a check-up on Matthew's foot and cast. The good news, the cast is off and the bad news... well, there is none! Dr. Jaivin said Matthew is doing great. He's excited to play basketball again (starting Monday) and get back to his work at the Oak Creek Corral. Now a word about Dr. Jaivin, an orthopedic foot and ankle specialist at Southern California Orthopedic Institute. This physician is wonderful! Not only is he skilled with regard to his profession, but I really loved the way he interacted with my son. He spoke TO Matthew, showed interest in him, and sought answers to questions from him. He addressed me (mom) only to clarify or obtain information Matthew was not able to give. At the beginning of Matthew's treatment I expressed concern that Matt gets sidelined due to his developmental disabilities and I wanted him (Dr. Jaivin) to know that even though he's not a bazillion dollar money maker in the sports industry, it was important to Matthew and his quality of life to be able to walk and play sports. Dr. Jaivin immediately responded that all of his patients were important and her certainly has proved that to be true. Dr. Jaivin, we really appreciate your kind, attentive, and knowledgeable care! Thank you!”

  • “I received a bunionectomy, or so I thought, from another Doctor at a different Medical Group. After 9 months of my foot not being right, not being able to wear closed shoes without pain, and, one excuse after another from my prior Doctor, I made an appointment with Dr. Jaivin.  BEST thing I could have done for myself. Dr. Jaivin performed a bunionectomy and my entire post healing process was completely different than the first time, I HEALED this time.  I was back to walking in closed shoes within 8 weeks of surgery and the incision is perfect with no bumps or knots, it is totally FLAT and free of pain. I recommend Dr. Jaivin to anyone who is looking to feel better and get back to doing what they enjoy - living life!”
