Training & Experience
Dr. Pamela Mehtaʼs journey into medicine began at the University of Southern California, where she earned both her undergraduate and medical degrees, graduating with honors in Biology and Religion. It was during medical school at USCʼs Keck School of Medicine that she found her calling in orthopedics.
She went on to complete her residency at Columbia University, one of the top orthopedic residencies in the country. There, she worked under Dr. Louis Bigliani, a pioneer in modern shoulder replacement, gaining hands-on experience in complex joint care.
- After returning to California, she spent five years in a large healthcare system. But her drive to offer more personalized, whole-person care led her to open her private practice, Resilience Orthopedics.
- Her approach integrates advanced diagnostics, regenerative techniques, and one-on-one attention, tailored to each patientʼs life and goals.
- Dr. Mehta has held major leadership roles throughout her career, including Chief of Orthopedics at Regional Medical
Center in San Jose and National Orthopedic Director for one of the countryʼs largest hospitalist networks. - Today, she serves as the Chief Medical Officer for OS1st, The Good Feet Store, and Stretched, and is a medical advisor to
FIGS. Sheʼs also the co-founder of Learn at Pinnacle, a platform that helps women physicians succeed in private
practice.
Sheʼs also a regular guest on podcasts and a trusted voice in national media, with features in TIME, Forbes, National Geographic, Medscape, HuffPost, and many more.
With over 225,000 followers across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, she uses her platform to educate, empower, and advocate.
Her mission has never changed:
Help people move better, age stronger,
and live pain-free.
Approach & Values

What sets Dr. Mehta apart is her integrative, whole-body approach. She isnʼt your typical orthopedic surgeon who reaches for the scalpel first. Instead, she blends the rigor of advanced diagnostics with regenerative medicine to create customized plans that support healing, restore movement, and build long-term resilience.
Dr. Mehta’s patients include athletes, executives, and active individuals who want to stay strong, avoid setbacks, and live without pain. Her modern, results-driven approach has earned her a strong reputation in orthopedic and regenerative medicine.

Beyond the clinic
Dr. Mehta lives by the same principles of healing and resilience that she brings to her patients. At her self-sustaining mountain home, she spends time with her husband and children, often exploring the outdoors.
Whether hiking the trails of Los Gatos, skiing in Tahoe, or enjoying the coastline of Santa Cruz, she stays grounded in the lifestyle
she encourages for her patients.
About Resilience Orthopedics
Resilience Orthopedics started with a promise: every patient deserves to feel understood and cared for.
Dr. Pamela Mehta spent years in top hospital systems where skill was high, but the care model
was built for speed, not connection. Patients cycled through quick appointments, received
templated plans, and often left without real answers.
At the same time, she was managing her physical challenges: juggling surgical demands, motherhood, and staying active as an athlete. She experienced firsthand how disconnected and impersonal care could feel, even for someone who knew the
system from the inside.
That dual experience became the foundation of Resilience Orthopedics: a practice where patients are partners, not cases. Where diagnosis is grounded in context, and recovery is personalized, not squeezed into a standard protocol.
Resilience is more than just a name.
Itʼs a belief: that the human body can come back stronger when itʼs supported the right way.
