JUST AMAZED> Hubby and I ride motorcycles (street/MX), we're also active athletically. We are a young 50, & want to remain active. I've had 6 traumatic accidents, my most recent was in 2017(16 fractures) I was unable to bend or twist and I went to bed in pain, & woke up in pain. Dr. Torrance was sure I would benefit from PRP. Now, I'm in awe, (in fact, I am a little freaked out). I'm bending/twisting, and for the first time in years, I woke up today with NO pain, I actually cried happy tears. The entire Tampa office is amazing, friendly, professional, and personal. We can't say enough great things about Dr. Torrance, he is thorough, and informative, & knowledgeable. We investigated other facilities, & were both offered stem cells only, w/a ridiculous price tag. Dr. Torrance was the only one who suggested PRP, after a thorough exam. Also, he's the only Dr. to investigate/discover edema in hubbys femoral head(other ortho dr. offered to cut him open and give him a new hip that he doesn't need) If you are considering PRP or stem cells, Regenexx is your safe place.

As advertised. Excellent from top to bottom.

When I found Regenexx my surgery for a 3 level fusion was scheduled and I was dragging my right leg due to an accident. After speaking with Doctor Leiber I decided to give Regenexx a try. I postponed my surgery and had PRP on my lower back in February. By July I was back playing pickleball and riding my mountain bike. After that I had the same day stem cell procedure on my wrist due to an old injury that had turned into arthritis and limited me significantly. Twelve months later I am back throwing the football with my grandson! Regenex has helped me do the things I want to do without surgery. I have now gone to Regennexx Cayman to have my Stem cells stored. Why? I want to be prepared for my next accident!!! Regenexx gave me my life back!

I had tendinosis in my right shoulder. The pain level was a 8 or 9. Dr. Torrance was very professional and took the time to explain about the PRP injection. It has been three months since the PRP injection and I have no pain. I am so happy I decided to have Dr. Torrance do the PRP injection.

New ReGeneration Orthopedics is a member of the Regenexx family of physicians who specialize in regenerative medicine. I completed the Regenexx stem cell procedure in February 2018 to treat osteoarthritis of the hip. My primary goal is to avoid hip replacement surgery.Everyone at New ReGeneration Orthopedics was professional and caring.I've already experienced improvements in hip strength and range of motion so I'm optimistic about future progress.

At age 67 I had a total knee replacement scheduled before becoming aware of Regenexx serrvices. I have A-Fib which exposes me to a high risk of blood clots and barely survived a double pulmonary embolism a year before after complications developed from an otherwise successful foot surgery. Trust me, I was not looking forward to a possible repeat of that experience and faced he knee replacement with great trepidation.The team in the Sarasota office administered stem cell and platelet injections in my "fair" rated left knee which had bone on bone damage, no meniscus, an ACL tear and multiple bone nodules in the joint. I could only walk with a severe limp and at a slow pace for limited distances, I could not climb stairs normally (if at all), I had difficulty bowling with the stress it put on my left knee, I had tremendous difficulty getting in and out of my kayak and watching me get around a golf course was a sad scenario indeed. Six months after my procedure I have virtually no symptoms. While an occasional tinge tells me my knee isn't 100%, I have no problem saying its between 90 and 95% improved. I now walk many miles a day at a brisk pace with no limp, I can bowl without any pain or impairment, I can walk up to elevated greens while golfing without any issues, and I have no difficulty getting in and out of my kayak. the bottom line is I can once again enjoy a wide range of activities without fear, pain or concern.The Regenexx procedure literally worked miracles for me. There is no doubt the process can save patients from pain and suffering while vastly improving their quality of life. And, it does so with little or no risk of medical complications. Ironically, this is also creating massive savings for Uncle Sam and the insurance companies because people like myself opt to dig into their own pockets to fund the Regenexx stem cell treatment. Adding to that savings is the fact the stem cell approach avoids multiple complications know to be associated with knee replacement surgery (including death) all of which Uncle Sam and the insurance companies also must pay to treat.One can only imagine how much money would be saved in Medicare costs alone if the government recognized the already proven effectiveness of stem cell treatments. Perhaps more important to people like myself is the fact this recognition would bring a flood of business into the stem cell regeneration arena dramatically improving the quality of life of untold numbers of our aging baby boomer population.I wish Regenexx the best of luck in gaining more momentum as time goes on. My guess is logic and results will prevail in the end versus the vested interests held by hospitals that would no longer be needed for this type of treatment and a great many orthopedic surgeons who appear focused on milking a dying cow for every dime they can by continuing to do total knee replacements. Shame on them..
