Joe Cooper MD

About Joe Cooper MD

Dr. Joe Cooper is a board-certified, fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon with subspecialty expertise in sports medicine, arthroscopic surgery, and complex joint reconstruction. He treats patients throughout the Los Angeles area with a full spectrum of musculoskeletal conditions — from acute sports injuries in competitive athletes to advanced arthritis requiring joint replacement.

Dr. Cooper completed his orthopedic surgery residency followed by a dedicated fellowship in sports medicine and arthroscopic surgery, where he received advanced training in the techniques that define modern minimally invasive orthopaedics. His clinical focus includes ACL, PCL, and multi-ligament knee reconstruction; meniscus repair; rotator cuff repair; shoulder stabilization; hip arthroscopy for labral tears and femoroacetabular impingement; and robotic-assisted total knee and hip replacement.

Dr. Cooper takes pride in spending meaningful time with each patient — listening carefully, explaining diagnoses clearly, and co-creating treatment plans that align with each person's activity goals and lifestyle. Whether the right answer is physical therapy, an injection, an arthroscopic procedure, or a joint replacement, patients can expect honest guidance, evidence-based recommendations, and continuity of care from the first visit through full recovery.

When he is not in the operating room or clinic, Dr. Cooper stays engaged with the latest advances in orthopedic surgery through research, continuing education, and participation in professional societies including the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) and the Arthroscopy Association of North America (AANA).

Dr. Cooper sees patients at his practice in the Los Angeles, California area. To schedule a consultation, contact the office by phone or request an appointment online.
