Dr.Papas and the Regenexx technology have been a life saver over the last 18 months. From a roller coaster getting stuck upside down to a car accident my neck, back, and glutes have been through a lot.I have gone from nerve pain with severely limited mobility to no nerve pain with some issues but we are working through them with no surgery.I cannot speak enough about this technology and these doctors. Dr. Papas is a genius in his field; and he is empathetic. It’s rare to find doctors this great that still have empathy. Everybody should at least try a consult to see if this is an option!And I never write reviews BTW.read more

I recently had PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) injections in my knee, and I can’t thank Dr. Torrance and his wonderful team enough! From start to finish, they made me feel comfortable, informed, and cared for. The procedure itself was smooth, and their attention to detail and professionalism was top-notch.My knee already feels significantly better, and I’m confident in the results thanks to their expertise. If you’re considering PRP or any related treatments, I highly recommend Dr. Torrance and his team. They are truly the best!read more

20 years in the marine field as a technician was tough on my hands. I was told I needed carpal tunnel release surgery. As an alternative to surgery I had the platelet treatment done on my hands by Dr. Ron Torrance. It’s been over a month since my treatment and I am extremely happy with the results! Would recommend Dr. Torrance and his team to anyone looking for an alternative to surgery.Thank you Dr. Torrance !read more

I needed a torn meniscus on my left knee repaired and after much research decided to go to Regenexx at New Regeneration Orthopedics instead of opting for surgery offered by my regular doctor. I am so glad I did. This is a full disclosure office - no question is stupid and everything, and I mean everything you can think to ask is answered before the procedure. The staff is so accommodating. Front office is great and there is ease in making appointments.I had had very little use of my knee for several months due to an injury by the time I went to Regenexx for my consult. I was not sure what results I would get from stem cell therapy but would have been happy with just 50% better use. The results were much much better. Within 3 weeks of the procedure I was pain free and doing many of my normal activities. I did about 6 weeks of physical therapy to strengthen the ligaments supporting the knee. I did not have to endure months of recuperating from surgery or full on rehab that would have been the case if I had chosen otherwise. It is now 8 months out and I am able to sleep, sit, walk, climb, light jog, dance and participate in all the activities I normally did prior to my injury without any pain. I would say that at 77 years old i am as close to 100% as I am going to get. I highly recommend a consult with Dr. Torrance and his team if you are looking for a non-invasive procedure with excellent results.read more

My recent evaluation and follow up procedure with Dr Papas confirms and compliments my first vist with him last year.He is a very thorough docter who presents less evasive, yet very effectice allteratives to surgery.Last year I had repeated episodes of several days unable to even walk with terrible lower back pain. 5 Months after his SCP injections, I completed a big bucket list adventure Hiking is the San Juan mountains in Southern Colorado with my son. I had zero pain hiking at 12,000 feet and completed the adventure and trip of a life time!To prepare, I did lose weight, started eating very healthy and trained for it methodically. That said, I don't think it would have been possile without discovering Dr. Papas, who encouraged and guided me during our telehealth visits prior to the Trip.I have had some minor pain and soreness in my back since the trip and decided to consult Dr. Papas about this and some long time arthritis issues in my knee and hip. We decided to have limited injections in both areas and a touch up to my lower back.It's only been a a few weeks, but so far all is well with noticable improvement. I can't say enough about the value in avoiding surgery when ever possible. Finding Dr Papas at Regenex in Tampa was just what I needed. He is very detailed in his examination, patient to answer any and all questions and I thank God for the help he provided.Joeread more

Twelve week review after PCP/MFAT injection for torn rotator cuff and DJD of shoulder showed some healing and likely more healing with time.

Excellent results. I have a degenerative disc L5-S1 that was causing me a lot of pain. I was so afraid I was going to have to have back surgery. I found this place and they have exceeded my expectations. Dr. Papas was top notch and the whole procedure was quick and minimally invasive. I can now walk without crippling pain and there are days I forget I even had a back issue. The results are very impressive. I’m on my feet 12-14 hrs a day. There was minimal downtime and the recovery was fast.read more

???? Gratitude Overflowing ????I want to express my deep gratitude to @flregendoc and @regenexx. The importance of bedside manner cannot be overstated. My journey has been filled with challenges, including numerous hospitalizations that left me scarred. Tragically, the system failed my mother due to medical errors.My trust in healthcare was shattered. Entrusting someone with my well-being is an immense step, laden with trauma-triggering potential. A single touch can unlock a flood of memories, emotions, and experiences. Dr. Papas, however, provided reassurance and instilled trust. His team, incredible in every way, held my hand through it all. Despite my trembling and tears, they created a haven for me.I’ve visited some of the most renowned clinics in the USA (and soon, the world), but what I’ve come to realize is that kindness and empathy are priceless. This team embodies it wholeheartedly. #regenerativeliving #regenerativemedicine #prp #kneepain #physiotherapy #GratefulHeart #EmpathyInMedicine #HealingJourneyread more

Last year I fell down stairs and had a severe fracture on my right ankle. Even after surgery for adding titanium extensions to both sides of my ankle I still had nerve pain, and excessive discomfort 7 months later. I returned to Dr James Leiber to discuss my issues and he recommended me to do a PRP protocol to give the area a new start to heal more completely. After the procedure he told me I had a great opportunity for full recovery. It hasn’t been easy but I knew I had tried for PRP procedures in other parts of my body from previous injuries. My husband even did a stem cell procedure on his torn rotator cuff and labrum.I have so much confidence in this dr and in these procedures. After 6-8 weeks I returned to complete pain free mobility. I am continuing to have no nerve pain and endurance to walk unaided. In September I returned to full activity even walking up and down stairs pain free. I see a future again as a 74 year old that will return to traveling , hiking and enjoying life to the fullest. I highly recommend that you try these procedures and believe you to can have a complete recovery to any neuromuscular issue from carpel tunnel, to mobility in your fingers and extremities in your body this really works to restore and repair your abilities to move pain free and successfully return to an active life. Thank you New Regeneration Orthopedics for using our own blood and stem cells to help us to repair our aging and accident ridden parts safely and with great hope!read more

I was suffering with a torn rotator cuff for years. Surgery would mean being out of commission for 3 months, then physical therapy, loss of muscle tone, and lowered quality of life.My husband found out about Dr Pappas and about PRP as an option.The procedure was simple and quick and involves use of my own blood to heal the tear. I was back at the gym in two days. I did not need to take any days off from work.After six weeks, the ultrasound showed the tear as HEALED!!! My should was feeling great and I was back to lifting heavy weights.This was the best decision!!! Dr Pappas and staff were great and I highly recommend this simple, effective procedure for very quick recovery!!!read more

True to the Regenexx name, the care at Regenexx Tampa Bay was superb. While I am typically a patient at the Centeno-Schultz Clinic in Broomfield, CO, (also a Regenexx) I needed a procedure that couldn't wait, so I made an appointment with Dr. Torrance at the Regenexx closest to where I live. Dr. Torrance is the perfect blend of very high competence, coupled with outstanding interpersonal skills. Unlike many doctors in the western medical world, Dr. Torrance listened closely to my hopes and fears about the procedure and made me feel completely at peace moving forward with him, thoroughly answering all of my questions. On the day of my procedure, my body ( I was having a lower cervical/upper thoracic spine procedure done) decided to throw a few curve balls. Dr. Torrance rolled with it all with ease and grace. Don't let this doctor's age fool you. He is at the top of his field, working alongside doctors who have a couple of decades on him. While he never made any promises, the outcome of my procedure far exceeded my expectations. In the sea of regenerative medicine options, Regenexx far out surpasses them all. There is absolutely no other place that I would trust to handle my care.read more

He had previously went through ankle treatment with Regenexx and successfully recovered as well.

The knowledge and professional care from Dr Ignatios Papas and his team was outstanding so I highly recommend.read more

Very professional with thorough instructions on what to expect. I had cervical platelet injections for neck stiffness, pain and positional headaches that have been occurring for the past 5 months. After reviewing my MRI, Dr. Leiber was confident he could safely help me.I did not hesitate because my husband has received positive results from Dr Leibers care and though I was quite anxious, I came out of the procedure a bit whoozy (I was given a muscle relaxant and pain medication), slept in the car and went straight to bed for a 2 hr nap. I can honestly say this was my post op “recovery” experience. My headache is gone, I am a little stiff now (day after) but overall, feel much better than before. I am hopeful this continues to be the case long term. What a relief! I am a healthy 59 yr old and want to stay that way for as long as I can!read more

After years of chronic pain in my shoulder and my cervical spine, I found it time to get serious about feeling better. I had the great fortune of finding Dr Ron Torrance and Regenexx. After a thorough and comprehensive exam, Dr Torrance determined that I was a candidate for both PRP therapy and stem cell therapy. Oh my goodness I am astounded at the results. The decades of chronic pain are GONE! With little to no downtime and physical therapy My cervical spine has improved 100% My shoulder +90% just 8 weeks out. Yes the procedure is pricey but I know I'm worth it if I had it to do over again I would have done it at least 5 years ago. Dr Torrance and his team went above and beyond and explaining the procedure as well as performing. Thank you Dr Ron Torrance because of your expertise this ole gal is getting her groove back.read more

I am very pleased with the results I have seen from the PRP procedure on my back and one hip. Other orthopedic doctors only offered me medication, surgery, or steroid injections, none of which had any appeal to me. After my PRP injections, I am more active (proven by the health app on my phone) by twice as much over a year ago. I faithfully exercise and walk, but I no longer need the medication, and I no longer limp. The healing PRP brought me is long-lasting, and it was worth the expense. I am so happy about it. Surgery is a serious injury, in my opinion, and I avoid it if at all possible. The fact that this procedure required no anesthesia was a big advantage too. I highly recommend it and the Regenexx office, Dr. Ron Torrance in particular, to anyone who only has the options I did for managing a condition rather than healing it.read more

I tore my supraspinatus tendon playing golf and tried everything, PT, acupuncture, massage for 6 months with no improvement and very limited movement. Was heading for ortho surgical repair option when my trainer recommended I get a consultation with Dr Papas since he had seen success with this natural, less invasive treatment that only required a couple of months recovery rather than a year. I wanted to get back to golf and swimming but was skeptical. I just went back for my 6 week post treatment check up and the tear was gone, my mobility has increased almost completely back to normal with ongoing PT and happy to say I can finally get back to basic things like doing up my bra, shaving my legs and putting my hair up! Would definitely recommend and in the end the cost was less than it would be with insurance deductibles on ‘standard’ surgical options. Not to mention much faster recovery. PT also affirmed that they had seen a lot of success with this type of procedure (PRP) in patients for neck, hip, knee and ankle injuries as well. Only downside in my particular case what’s that the injection was more painful than expected.read more

Instead of knee replacement surgery I had Bone Marrow Stem Cell Therapy on my knees and it worked! Within a few weeks I had full range of motion and was walking without pain and better, stronger, faster than I had for at least 10 years. Dr. Ron Torrance knew the latest research for my situation and implemented it: no other orthopedic doctor I saw had a clue. Dr. Torrance is smart, caring, dedicated, and excellent at what he does. The whole team in the Sarasota office was communicative and top-notch. These people really know what they're doing and it's so refreshing to have a positive medical experience with a world-class team! I am grateful for their skills, knowledge, technology, and process. I have my active life back and it feels like a miracle!read more

I had a meniscus tear for years that got worse and finally got to the point where it was disrupting my normal life, couldn't run, walking longer than a half mile would flair it up, I couldn't even elevate my foot without support under my knee without it feeling like it would snap! Dr. Torrance did a stem cell injection for me, super explanatory of the process, answering a million of my questions and overall nice guy. After the initial healing phase my knee was great and I was able to start running again within a few weeks. It's been about 2 years now and my knee is still doing amazing, haven't had any flair ups and have way more range of motion than before. I'm so grateful to Dr. Torrance and Regenexx for allowing me to get back to activity (and normal life) again!read more

Dr. Leiber is professional, compassionate, he asks questions and he listens. He has a vast knowledge of stem cell therapy and is always studying the field around the globe. I have avoided a knee replacement once with his care and treatment and am about to do the same with the other knee. I highly recommend his practice. Most of all find out all your options for treatment before consenting to surgery. You owe it to yourself.read more

Had procedure done on lumbar back and knee. Enabled me to stand/walk straight and normally for first time in years. Will be able to exercise and have better overall health. Staff very knowledgeable and skilled. I originally gave 4 stars but had to change to 5 because now that I'm coming up to 3 months after procedure the results that I've have had are beyond what I expected and I couldn't be happier with the results. I highly recommend this facility and procedure. It changed my life!read more

Dr. Papas was extremely thorough with his initial evaluation and took his time to understand my challenges and goals. We then worked out a plan and are now 3 months post procedure. I continue to see improvements. I waited to write this review as I wanted to see signs of progress as stem cell recovery takes time. If you’re thinking about going this route, I recommend you see Dr Papas.read more

A friend recommended me to Dr. Torrence a few years back, and he has been nothing short of amazing. He is so accommodating, willing to help, and is very passionate. His caring nature made the process easy. I’ve had two stem cell procedures and they have really helped me tremendously in my recovery. I will continue to recommend Regennex and especially Dr. Torrence to anyone in the Tampa Bay Area.read more

I recently had a situation where I had been driving several miles and when I reached my location, I could barely walk after getting out of the car. This was sudden and likely a result of old injuries to my low back. I had not experienced this particular issue before. It was difficult to walk, and the pain was rather intense. Doctor Papas recommend and performed a platelet procedure on my low back and the results are amazing! I had relief almost immediately and a week later I’m feeling better than ever! Any apprehension I had about having injections quickly faded away when the medical team walked me through the process and kept me well informed through the procedure. I felt completely at ease with their professionalism and level of care. For anyone who is experiencing pain I would recommend this. The procedure was quick and painless and the results have been better than I could have imagined. Thank you doctor Papas for providing this service and for talking my pain away. I’m so grateful to you and the staff.read more

I had severe knee arthritis. I was scheduled for total knee replacement, but thankfully heard about Dr. Torrance and went in for a consult. He evaluated my knee and answered all my questions. Subsequently, Dr. Torrance skillfully performed stem cell procedure, which involved minimal pain. Over several months, I went from a severe 9 or 10 out of 10 knee pain level down to 0. I went from being unable to walk more than a block with pain to walking a mile pain-free. I went from not being able to stand without pain to being able to cook standing for an hour pain-free. I am continuing to improve beyond these activities. I urge anyone considering joint surgery, such as I did, to consider consulting with Dr. Torrance. I highly recommend him, as a professional, caring, informative physician.read more

I am 72 years old and an active tennis player. The cumulative effect of years of activity caused a degeneration of a tendon in my left hip. My orthopedic doctor's only solution was therapy and yoga. Regenexx Dr Papas diagnosed the problem and suggested stem cell therapy. It has been six weeks since my procedure and the results are noticeable. Improved mobility, sustained play without pain, and recovery time have all shown improvement. The improvement and the process are consistent with my expectations and what is described in the Regenexx literature. I anticipate continued improvement in the weeks and months ahead.read more

Miracle results with Platelet Injection from DR. Papas. S-1stenosis had me sleepless with constant sciatica. 30 days after treatment I started improving daily. 3 months later I'm pain free and playing tennis and mountain biking full bore. A pain free 1 hour treatment gave me my life back. See Dr. Papas for your best results.read more

I researched this type of procedure for two years before deciding to go ahead with it. The first time, I made a mistake and as a result my pain remained. This 2nd time, I chose Regenexx because they are the real deal.I had a previous procedure done in Longwood, FL (where I live), and it was a complete sham in comparison. It literally cost me over $5,000 more than Regenexx, who did a much more thorough and indepth consultation. The procedure versus the Longwood practice I went to was as different as night and day. At Regenexx, it felt so professional, friendly, clean, sterile.At the Longwood location, I was asked to lay down on a what looks like a chiropractic table, no one wore gloves, and there was no M.D. involved. A nurse practitioner injected me with 6 shots. I was done in 7 minutes and sent out the door. At Regenexx, the prep and procedure lasted approx two hours. I was well looked after and they walked/talked me through every step of the PRP procedure. Dr. Papas, who is an extraordinary doctor, plus 3 others were present to assist. All wore surgical gloves, masks and gowns.I had the procedure done 9/26/19, and today is 10/5/19. I can honestly say my low back is feeling so much better already. I wasn't even sure that was possible, but each morning I awake, my back pain has lessened. Quite a few hours during the day, I don't experience any pain any longer. Amazing!!! I drove two hours each way to have them do my low back procedure, and I would do it again in a heartbeat. I highly recommend Regenexx and especially Dr. Papas!!read more

I am in a unique position with Dr. Ignatios Papas and his staff and Regenexx Tampa Bay. I am a Physical Therapist who treats some of his patients as well as being a patient myself. All the reports his patients give me are 100% accurate. He takes the time with each person, gives full answers and doesn't let you leave without knowing what is going to happen or why. I have had wonderful experiences with him and his staff during my time as both a PT and patient. I 100% recommend Dr. Papas and his staff for any procedure you may be needing.read more

It is now 6 months since my procedure and my pain has subsided by 99%!!! I am very grateful for Dr. Papas and am now a strong believer in PRP. Living Pain Free is something I will be eternally grateful for.read more

I had Carpal Tunnel release with ultrasonic guidance done by Dr. Ignatios Papas. I was in severe pain and unable to sleep more than a few hours at night because of the pain. I had the procedure done, minimal pain and discomfort and slept like a baby that night. The swelling is starting to go down and my strength and range of motion are coming back. I would recommend this to anyone suffering from Carpel Tunnel syndrome. In addition the entire staff was very competent and caring making sure I was kept aware of everything and just wonderful. Thanks for everything!read more

This is the doctor you need to see and the treatment you need to get if you have osteoarthritis! I was in route to get a knee replacement until I met with Dr. Papas. I went from being unable to stand without severe pain for 9 months to walking around and getting back to my normal life in 6 weeks. Wish I had known about him sooner. The facilities and the staff are very welcoming, understanding, and are centered on how they can best help you. I am recommending everyone one go here before attempting major surgery and dealing with long term pain management.read more

After 10 years of being in constant pain and 3 years of being unable to do even the basic of activities I am back in the gym and able to physically do anything I want. Recovery has been somewhat challenging in my case, but Dr. Torrence and his team have been nothing but helpful and supportive the entire time. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone.read more

Dr Ronald Torrance is on time (seems rare these days) and on point. He definitely knows what he’s doing. We had seen several doctors prior to seeing him and after multiple procedures and such, they simply told us “there was nothing else they could do”. We feel this was a good choice and we are on a good path. I highly recommend anyone dealing with pain to at least consider a consultation.read more

I have been suffering with back pain due to herniated discs in my lower back. In fear for years of “getting cut” for this and having irreversible effect I finally found Dr Papas!I watched the very informative videos on YouTube, visited his office for a consultation and was convinced that the downside was minimal at best but the results could be LIFE CHANGING…… THEY WERE! Nothing short of a miracle. I have a new lease on life! FYI 2-3 day recovery tops, then physical therapy. AMAZING! Dr Papas and Regennex are the upmost professionals. THANK YOU!read more
