We are proud to announce that Dr. Jai Iyengar successfully performed the first outpatient total shoulder replacement at the Ambulatory Surgery Center of Stockton yesterday. Congratulations to Dr. Iyengar and the entire staff of the ASC for completing their very first outpatient joint replacement procedure!

Thanks to Octavio’s Restaurant for catering our annual meeting luncheon! Appreciate Octavio Cruces for putting together a great menu on short notice!

We have opened our office to patients that would like to be seen in person. We are offering morning and afternoon appointments, as well as telephone and audio/visual appointments. We are still concerned for your health and safety and ask that if you are over the age of 65, immunocompromised, have preexisting conditions, have been in the hospital recently or you are feeling unwell, that you schedule your visit with the doctor for a telephone or audio/visual appointment; please... let the scheduler know when you call. If you are scheduled to come into the office, MASKS ARE MANDATORY (please wear your own, we are in short supply and will not be able to provide one to you) and we will TAKE YOUR TEMPERATURE. We ask that you please comply with the SOCIAL DISTANCING standards and that you do not bring more than one person with you to your visit. Our Front Desk staff can call or text you, if your prefer to wait in your car until you are called into the exam room. These measures are in place for your safety, as well as for the safety of our employees. We understand the inconvenience this has been and appreciate your patience during this time. See more

On May 4th, we will start allowing more patients to be scheduled to come in the clinic with the option to have a telephone or video appointment with their Doctor. We will ask that you come in with a mask and or face covering. Also, please come in alone or if needed one person only. We will continue to use Covid precautions as well as temperature screening for your safety and ours. Please be patient with us as we start to resume more patient care and scheduling. Thank you.

OK so if you have been a patient of Dr. Jai Iyengar who has undergone shoulder surgery, you have already been given his secret recipe to optimal bone/joint health. But in the spirit of community during the COVID crisis, he has agreed to share his secret with the ENTIRE Alpine Family: Dr. Iyengar’s Smoothie Recipe for Optimal Joint Health... "Every weekday morning, I start my day with the same breakfast (an anti-inflammatory smoothie for optimal bone/joint health). Over the years, many of my patients, especially the ones who see me for morning appointments, have seen this green concoction sitting on my desk and have asked what it contains. Here it is the secret recipe for healthy joints!" Step 1: Place in 1 Large Nutri-Bullet Cup or Blender: - 1 cup of Kale or Spinach - Banana (or Avocado if you are diabetic or prefer a low-sugar option) - 3 to 4 Strawberries - A handful of Blueberries - 1 cup of Plain Greek Yogurt (or 1 scoop of a non-dairy protein powder if you are lactose-intolerant/vegan) - 1 scoop of Amazing Grass Green Superfood Powder (you can get this on Amazon.com) - 2 teaspoons of Chia Seeds - teaspoon of Turmeric Powder Step 2: Fill to water line and blend well in Nutri-Bullet/Blender Step 3: Pour into 20 oz. smoothie bottle over ice cubes and ENJOY!
