Start with what you are experiencing

Where It Hurts

Choose the joint. A consultation is the place to discuss what, if anything, belongs in the plan.

A consultation without the guesswork

What Happens Next.

Requesting a consultation does not commit you to a procedure. It starts an informed conversation about whether regenerative care may be appropriate for your situation.

01 · Tell Us What Is Going On

Start with Your Concern.

Share what hurts, what has changed, and what you hope to return to. You do not need to choose a treatment first.

02 · Meet with the Clinical Team

Understand Your Options.

Your history, goals, prior care, and candidacy shape the conversation. Questions and alternatives are part of the visit.

03 · Decide with Clarity

Leave with a Plan.

If treatment is appropriate, the team explains the process and next steps. If not, you should still understand the path forward.

Meet the physician

An orthopedic surgeon’s view of when not to operate.

“The goal is not only to keep you out of the operating room — it is to help you.”

Some challenges respond to an orthobiologic. Some do better with surgery. Some do best with surgery and orthobiologics. The person telling you which is which is the same person who does it all.

Options considered around the individual

Options, explained clearly.

No single therapy fits every person. These are areas the practice evaluates, not promises of a particular outcome.

What patients remember

“There was no rushing through the appointment. I was treated as if I were the only patient.”

Your next step

Start with a conversation, not a commitment.
