BACKGROUND


Dr. Tiffany Rogers graduated Cum Laude from the University of Utah, where she received All-American honors in both academics and basketball. She then earned a master’s degree in Physical Therapy from Chapman University, where she was a graduation speaker. Subsequently, she was invited to teach neuroscience for Chapman University School of Physical Therapy while working as a clinical Physical Therapist. The desire to continue her education led her to attend medical school at Creighton University, School of Medicine where she graduated with honors and earned admission to Alpha Omega Alpha, honor society for the top 5% of med students in the country. Dr. Rogers returned to Southern California for her internship and Orthopedic Residency at Harbor-UCLA. She then completed a spine surgery fellowship at the prestigious Rancho Los Amigos Medical Center. After her fellowship, Dr. Rogers was the attending physician at the Rancho Spine Clinic where she mentored physicians in training. Dr. Rogers is currently, the co-director of the Torrance Memorial Medical Center Spine Service. Her unique education and skill has led her to become the premier spine specialist in Southern California.

​As a lifelong athlete, Dr. Rogers naturally developed a passion for restoring people to health and helping them get back to doing what they love. Her physical therapy education, medical education, and spine specialist fellowship led her to the South Bay, where she also discovered some local passions, surfing and boating.
