“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!”
Specializing in sports medicine and reconstructive surgery of the knee and shoulder, William H. Warden III, MD, is a leading provider of high-quality orthopaedic care at Memorial Orthopaedic Surgical Group in Long Beach, California. Board-certified in both orthopaedic surgery and orthopaedic sports medicine, Dr. Warden helps patients overcome their conditions rapidly and safely.
Dr. Warden attended Amherst College in Amherst, Massachusetts, where he graduated magna cum laude. During his time at Amherst College, Dr. Warren also wrestled and played football. After completing his undergraduate studies, he enrolled at Columbia University in New York where he earned his Doctor of Medicine and was awarded for his clinical and research work in the biological sciences.
Following his medical education, Dr. Warden went on to complete two prestigious residencies: one in orthopaedics at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center in New York, and the other in sports medicine at the Southern California Center for Sports Medicine in Long Beach. Dr. Warden practiced in West Covina, California, for a number of years before joining Memorial Orthopaedic Surgical Group. He also served as chairman for the Department of Orthopaedics at Long Beach Memorial Medical Center and Miller Children’s Hospital.
When he isn’t in the office, Dr. Warden stays active by running. He also enjoys studying astronomy and playing the guitar.
“I played competitive soccer at Northwestern University and had multiple orthopedic injuries, five of which required surgery. My father’s influence was undeniable, too, in my decision to enter the field of orthopedics. I also became drawn to learning how the body repairs itself and how I can use this natural ability to heal acute injuries in athletes and reverse degeneration of joints, ligaments, and tendons in active adults. I’m expanding the range of nonsurgical treatments, including arthritis treatment, tennis elbow treatment, golf elbow treatment, rotator cuff tear, plantar fasciitis, frozen shoulder, and tendonitis. I want to give my patients leading-edge treatment options they probably haven’t yet heard of – options that may help them avoid surgery and change their lives.”
At Pacific Regenerative and Interventional Medicine in San Jose, CA, Dr. Blatz uses the most advanced centrifuge available to help him design custom stem cell treatments for each patient and condition. He also uses special image-guided orthopedic ultrasound for greater diagnostic and placement accuracy.

Dr. Murphy is an orthopedic surgeon who has practiced in San Diego since 1988. He specializes in sports medicine and arthroscopic surgery. He completed his residency in San Diego in 1985, and was Board Certified in 1987 and recertified in 1996 and 2006. He obtained a CAQ (Certificate of Added Qualification) in Sports Medicine in 2012 from the American Orthopedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSSM). His career lead him to serve in the United States Navy as an orthopedic surgeon in Naples where he was head of the Department of Orthopedics for two years. He was also mobilized to serve in Desert Storm in 1991.
In addition to sports medicine, Dr. Murphy cared for trauma patients regularly at Sharp Memorial Hospital, which led to his association with the sport of Supercross in the early 1990s. He would treat the legends of Supercross, including Jeremy McGrath, Mike LaRocco, Bubba Stewart, Ricky Carmichael, and many others. He has become known as the Supercross doctor.
Dr. Murphy would become one of the team orthopedic surgeons for the San Diego Chargers in 1994 and became the head team doctor in 1998. He would continue his role as team doctor for the Chargers until 2002. He would then become a head team physician for the University of San Diego. At the University of San Diego, he would be responsible for caring for all of the athletes who participate in Division I sports including men’s football, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s soccer, and women’s volleyball. He would be responsible for instructing student athletic trainers at the University in his role as head team physician.
Dr. Murphy is also the team physician for Cathedral Catholic High School and Saint Augustine High School. He donates his time to high school athletes and runs a free clinic on Saturday mornings in the fall of each year for high school athletes who have been injured in Friday night football games.
Dr. Murphy continues to treat sports medicine injuries, both surgically and nonoperatively, specializing in shoulder and knee injuries. He is one of the very few orthopedic surgeons in the San Diego County and Southern California areas who employs Sonorex treatments (Shock Wave Therapy, a form of lithotripsy) for chronic joint injuries and tendonitis rather than surgery. The most common form of tendonitis includes lateral epicondylitis at the elbow, patellar tendonitis at the knee, Achilles tendonitis at the ankle, and plantar fasciitis at the foot. All of these conditions can now be treated non-operatively with equal success compared to surgery.
Dr. Murphy has been a pioneer of in-office MRI use and outpatient surgery centers that are within his same building, allowing patients to be treated more seamlessly during acute and chronic phases of people’s injuries.
Dr. Murphy is married to his wife, Lynn, and has five children. His free time is spent with his family, surfing or golfing.
