Marina del Rey Event Honored ‘Top Doctors’ and Unveiled Surgery Center

Over 350 local doctors, athletes, celebrities and business leaders descended on Marina del Rey for a special cocktail reception co-hosted by DISC Sports & Spine Center and Modern Luxury Angeleno. The event, which took place last Thursday, celebrated LA’s 2023 class of Castle Connolly-ranked “Top Doctors” while giving attendees a first look at the region's newest ambulatory surgery center (ASC).

Festivities began with a tour of the new DISC Surgery Center at Marina del Rey, a custom-built, 11,000-square-foot outpatient facility that will greatly expand LA’s access to next-level minimally invasive spine surgery, orthopedics and pain management. Attendees were the first to see the ASC’s two state-of-the-art operating rooms with Zeiss microscopes and NuVasive’s Pulse platform, a PACU bay, four private patient rooms (including a luxury suite), family lounge, private consult room and modern waiting room, a facility designed by Taylor Design and constructed by Cannon Building.

The party then opened up into the spacious courtyard separating the new ASC from DISC’s existing clinic, where lively music, cocktails, an ice-sculptured raw bar and other delicious light bites awaited guests. Red Bull’s Athlete Performance Center provided additional drinks beneath their tents while partners NuVasive, Globus Medical, Zeiss and Lucid Motors provided hands-on demonstrations.

After Modern Luxury Angeleno toasted LA’s Top Doctors, DISC founding director Robert S. Bray, Jr. and CEO of parent company TriasMD James H. Becker thanked the evening’s sponsors and special guests and shared their vision behind the new ASC.

“Simply put, our mission is to take the great care that Dr. Bray and team have been delivering for years and scale it to the right places so more people can take advantage of the superior quality and excellence,” Becker told the crowd.

DISC’s renowned team of physician partners include pioneers in minimally invasive spine surgery, orthopedics and chronic pain management. Their work has been instrumental in helping pro athletes and others get newer motion-preserving surgeries like artificial disc replacement that help them return to action both more quickly and safely.
