Patients are now enrolling with Dr. Jason K. Hofer of Ventura Orthopedics, the pioneer surgeon to bring Kinomatic RESTORE to his practice.
The gap RESTORE closes
Dr. Jason Hofer is the first surgeon to enroll patients in the Kinomatic RESTORE program. RESTORE is a hip and knee replacement recovery program that pairs a custom surgical plan and VR simulation before surgery with a dedicated patient navigator, a structured recovery bundle and workbook, and continuous monitoring through a WHOOP wearable after it.
The program runs on Dr. Andrew Wickline’s opioid-sparing “Less Pain, Less Swelling” protocol, the same clinical foundation behind the nationwide March 2 A Million movement. Dr. Hofer’s launch extends that effort to reduce opioid dependency in orthopedic surgery to Ventura County.
Why Dr. Hofer chose Kinomatic RESTORE
Dr. Hofer is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon serving patients in Ventura, specializing in hip and knee replacement surgery. A Ventura native, Dr. Hofer graduated cum laude from UC San Diego with a degree in chemistry and earned his medical degree with honors from USC. He completed his orthopedic residency at UC Irvine and a fellowship in lower extremity reconstruction at Scripps Clinic in La Jolla.
Dr. Hofer specializes in innovative hip and knee replacement techniques, including anterior hip replacement, and is recognized as one of the most experienced surgeons in Ventura County. His patients consistently report effective treatment outcomes delivered with a professional, caring approach. His technical rigor matched with genuine attention to the patient in front of him, is exactly what RESTORE is built to do – extend care beyond the OR doors.
Why Dr. Hofer’s team is excited to pioneer RESTORE
Talk to Dr. Hofer’s clinic and one thing comes up right away: the dedicated patient navigator assigned to each patient. Recovery today gets split across so many providers that patients often don’t know who to call. RESTORE gives them one person: someone who can get them an answer quickly and empathetically. That’s the part of the program that lines up most closely with how their office already thinks about patient care.
Dr. Hofer’s Physician’s Assistant, Sean, has become one of RESTORE’s biggest champions for the WHOOP wearable. He shows it to patients directly in consults and walks them through what it tracks, and he’s found it makes the program an easy one to recommend.
