Dr. Kofi Agyeman | AVORS Medical Group • Longitude at ASAP Ortho

Integrating Orthopaedic Care and Active Lifestyle Medicine

The modern patient experience is often fragmented, leaving individuals to bridge the gap between clinical expertise and daily life alone. My practice is designed to eliminate that friction. Whether you are seeking a consultation at AVORS Medical Group in the Antelope Valley, utilizing the virtual-first model of ASAP Orthopaedics in the San Gabriel Valley, or optimizing your longevity through Longitude, you are engaging with a single physician, a unified philosophy, and a consistent standard of high-quality medical care.

As a board-certified orthopedic surgeon, I view the musculoskeletal system not as a series of isolated parts, but as the foundation of your life. From structural health to soft tissue integrity, my goal is to restore your mobility and ensure your body remains a high-functioning asset for decades to come.

What is Orthopedic Surgery?

Orthopedic surgery is a specialized field of medicine focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of the musculoskeletal system, including bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. Modern orthopedics prioritizes restoring function and reducing pain through both surgical intervention and regenerative, non-invasive techniques.

Meet Dr. Kofi Agyeman

The Surgeon Who Does More

The standard orthopaedic experience is often defined by brief interactions and long waits, leaving patients to navigate the complexities of their own recovery. Dr. Kofi Agyeman founded his practice to dismantle this model. A board-certified orthopedic surgeon with advanced fellowship training in shoulder and elbow surgery from the University of Washington, Dr. Kofi combines elite surgical skill with a background in systems design.

Having earned his medical degree from the Baylor College of Medicine and completed his residency at the University of Miami, he brings a rare level of academic rigor to community-based care. Beyond the operating room, he is a UCLA Biodesign Fellow currently completing his MBA at UCLA Anderson, focusing on how AI and technology can simplify healthcare rather than complicate it.

For Dr. Kofi, "doing more" means closing the gap between the surgical suite and the patient’s daily life. Whether he is performing a complex shoulder replacement or guiding a patient through the Longitude healthspan program, his objective is singular: ensuring your body performs as a high-functioning asset for the long term.

Because Your Doctor Should Do MORE

Advocacy, Coordination, and Clinical Excellence

The primary failure of modern medicine isn't the science; it's the logistics. Most orthopedic doctors provide a diagnosis and then leave the patients to navigate the labyrinth of healthcare alone. We believe your doctor should do more.

In this practice, "more" is a concrete verb. We actively coordinate your imaging, manage the complexities of insurance paperwork, and facilitate your referrals so you aren't left to manage your own medical history in a vacuum. By integrating advanced technology and AI, we extend the reach of the physician beyond the exam room. We provide physician-verified video education and materials, ensuring you understand every phase of your treatment and recovery. Technology should never replace the human touch; it should amplify the expertise of the surgeons who treat you.

The Longitude Pathway: Active Lifestyle Medicine

Physician-Led Fitness and Longevity

Longitude is the clearest expression of our commitment to doing “MORE”. It is a physician-led extension of the practice focused on healthspan and long-term physical durability, moving past the traditional “fix it when it breaks” model to prioritize biological health. This program is available to all AVORS and ASAP Ortho patients as a pathway to a more capable future.

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive technique used to diagnose and treat joint issues without the downtime of traditional open surgery. Dr. Kofi utilizes a high-definition camera and specialized tools through tiny incisions to repair ligaments or remove damaged tissue in the shoulder, knee, and elbow. This approach is designed for patients who need to return to work and activity quickly, offering reduced scarring and a more comfortable recovery.

A Note on Procedure Sensation

"When I perform an elbow arthroscopy or a shoulder replacement, my focus is on less pain and faster recovery. For example, by using minimally invasive techniques and precise numbing protocols, many of my patients find they can recover much faster than they typically expected. You shouldn't spend your life waiting for the pain to stop; you should be active while you heal."

Frequently Asked Questions

If you are experiencing persistent pain in your joints, limited mobility, or have suffered ligament injuries, an evaluation is necessary. We diagnose the root cause, whether it's arthritis, nerves, or soft tissue damage, to determine if surgery or a non-invasive treatment is the best path.

The process to recover depends on the complexity of the procedure. For a knee arthroscopy, you may return to light activity within days. For more complex surgery, the rehabilitation and healing typically span several weeks.
