He was previously Associate Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery and Rehabilitation Medicine at the University of Chicago.
Dr. Mok served on active duty in the United States Army Medical Corps with the rank of Major. His military experience included deployment to the Iraq theater as an orthopaedic surgeon and spine surgery consultant.
Dr. Mok has published work in many leading journals in his field, including The Spine Journal, Spine, and Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. He has presented to his peers at international, national, and regional meetings, including annual meetings of the North American Spine Society, the Society for Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery, and the American Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons.
Dr. Mok is a member of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, the American Orthopaedic Association, the North American Spine Society, the Scoliosis Research Society, and the Society for Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery. -
Jeff Morgan
Affiliate, Orthopaedic Surgery
BioI provide biomechanical expertise for clinical evaluations of patients post injury with the goal of reducing re-injury rates and improving performance. As a sports-focused lab, we specialize in running gait analysis, ACL reconstruction return to sport testing, and other lower extremity injuries. Our primary tool for analysis is 3D motion capture coupled with tri-axial force data which allows us to evaluate a patient's movement and the underlying forces as they complete sport specific tasks.
I manage research studies evaluating the contribution of running mechanics to bone stress injuries and improving patient outcomes after ACL and MPFL reconstruction. -
Bryson Nakamura
Director & Head Sport Scientist - Stanford Baseball Science Core, Orthopaedic Surgery
BioBryson Nakamura, PhD. is the Director & Head Sport Scientist for the Stanford Baseball Science Core. Nakamura will lead baseball sport science research efforts while also supporting the Stanford Baseball team.
Nakamura previously spent six seasons with the Milwaukee Brewers Baseball Club in various sport science and performance roles. In his years with the Brewers, Nakamura established the Integrative Sports Performance department, which aimed to leverage sport science processes and principles to help put the Brewers at the forefront of data-driven player development methods and to enhance and support all functions of baseball operations. In his final year with the club, he was also responsible for overseeing minor league strength and conditioning in his role as the Director of Player Performance.
Prior to joining the Brewers, Nakamura was a sport science intern with the Tampa Bay Rays while completing his doctorate at the University of Oregon in the Bowerman Sports Science Clinic. At Oregon, his primary research focused on gait characteristics of lower-extremity amputees, while his clinical work focused on the assessment of biomechanical and physiological performance factors for high-level distance runners. He graduated with a bachelor’s degree from the University of Puget Sound in Exercise Science where he played baseball and conducted research focused on balance and footwear product design.
Currently, Nakamura is a member of the American Society of Biomechanics, International Society of Biomechanics in Sport, American College of Sports Medicine, and is a founding member and Vice President of Conferences & Meetings for the American Baseball Biomechanics Society. -
David E. Oji
Clinical Assistant Professor, Orthopaedic Surgery
BioDr. David Oji is a board certified and fellowship trained orthopaedic surgeon specializing in the operative and non-operative treatment of all aspects of foot and ankle disorders. After finishing his orthopaedic surgery residency at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, he did his fellowship at Union Memorial Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland under the leadership of Dr. Lew Schon, the former president of the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society. There he underwent advanced training in the forefront of foot and ankle surgery including total ankle replacements, use of stem cells to promote healing of acute and chronic conditions, non-fusion techniques of great toe arthritis, and complex ankle and foot reconstruction.
During his training, he assisted in treating the Baltimore Orioles and amateur ballet dancers. Dr. Oji also took part in conducting advanced biomechanical and clinical research and has written chapters in textbooks with topics ranging from arthroscopic treatment of talar cartilage defects to the diabetic foot.
After fellowship, he was in private practice working closely with the community as the team physicians for many of the local high school sports teams.
In June of 2017, Dr. Oji joined the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at Stanford University School of Medicine as a Clinical Assistant Professor. In addition to his usual clinical and educational responsibilities, he is also one of the team physicians for Stanford University Athletic programs.
Since starting at Stanford, he has been on the forefront of ankle and foot surgery. He has performed the first out patient total ankle replacement and the first total talar replacement at Stanford. He is an advocate of minimally invasive ankle and foot surgery performing one of the first MIS (minimally invasive surgery) bunion surgeries in the Bay Area. Whenever possible, the smallest incision and the least invasive approach will be done to allow the patient to heal faster including tendosopy, small joint arthroscopy, endoscopic Haglund's resection, minimally invasive osteotomy, and minimally invasive great toe cheilectomy.
He has a special focus in the treatment of ankle and foot orthopaedic sports injuries such as chronic ankle instability, cartilage injuries, Achilles injuries, using surgery only as a last resort to return the patient to peak athletic form.
In addition, he has extensive experience in complex ankle and foot reconstruction such as ankle replacements, flatfeet reconstruction, fusions of the foot and hindfoot, and Charcot foot/ankle reconstruction.
