His Orthopaedic Surgery residency was completed at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine / NSUH-LIJ Health System in New York in 2004, where he was voted the Surgical Intern of the Year in 2000 and the Orthopaedic Surgery Resident of the Year in 2001.

Dr Yao has clinical training and interest in the treatment of disorders of the entire upper extremity/limb, including the hand, wrist, elbow and shoulder. He is specifically trained in the minimally-invasive and arthroscopic treatment of common upper extremity problems including fractures, arthritis, tendon and ligament injuries and nerve compression disorders. This minimally-invasive approach is unique and highly sought after by patients. His clinical volume is quite extensive as he sees over 3000 patients per year.
Dr. Edward Moon is a board certified orthopedic surgeon with fellowship training in treatment of the hand and upper extremity. He completed his residency at the University of Washington in Seattle including extensive orthopedic trauma training at Harborview Medical Center, and completed fellowship training in hand, upper extremity, and microsurgery at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City. Dr. Moon believes in patient centered care, patient education, and shared decision making. His goal is to fully restore both form and function in a caring and compassionate environment. As an avid hiker, snowboarder, golfer, and musician he understands the importance of a quick recovery and returning to an active and healthy lifestyle. Dr. Moon’s philosophy is to attempt non-surgical treatment whenever possible. However, if surgery is necessary, he employs the most current evidence-based techniques and technology to achieve the best outcomes.
Dr. Megan Meisenheimer is a born and raised Californian who became interested in a therapy career after participating in competitive sports and sustaining injuries of her own that required rehabilitation. She earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise Biology at UC Davis, where she was a student athletic training intern who travelled with and treated the Women’s Soccer team, the Track and Field Teams and the Division I Football team. After her undergraduate studies, Megan began a unique program at the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences in San Marcos, CA where she received both a Masters in Occupational Therapy and a Doctorate in Physical Therapy. She is dually licensed in the state of California as both an Occupational Therapist and Physical Therapist. After graduation, she took positions in the SF Bay Area focusing on treating patients with upper extremity injuries. She has a passion for treating post-op patients and enjoys learning about the latest surgical techniques through professional conferences and visits to the OR. She became a Certified Hand Therapist in 2018 and is currently working to accredit a Hand Therapy Fellowship for Agile Physical Therapy. Outside of work, Megan is an avid reader and loves cheering on her teams: the San Francisco Giants and the San Francisco 49ers.

My name is Casey Hobbs. I am an occupational
therapist and a new sales representative for Joint
Active Systems (JAS) in Southern California. I will be
your contact for an extensive line of upper extremity
rehabilitation braces including:
• Full-range shoulder devices
• Elbow flexion and extension devices
• Forearm pronation and supination devices
• Wrist flexion and extension
After obtaining my doctorate in occupational therapy at Huntington University, I worked
my way across the country as a traveling OT before making Santa Monica my home.
I am currently a practicing clinician in an acute care role working towards becoming a certified hand therapist. My passion is improving long term outcomes, range of motion and helping patients get back to the things they enjoy most, which is why I decided to
partner with JAS to provide upper extremity rehabilitation devices. I am excited to have landed here in sunny Southern California and look forward to sharing my knowledge and skills to help patients with their recovery process.
