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

Dr. Torrence is AMAZING!!!! My daughter is an athlete who tore 90% of her ACL. Western medicine doctors all told her that she would miss her Senior season and would need an ACL reconstruction. Thanks to Dr. Torrence and Regenexx she underwent a Stem Cell Injection and is on the mend. She is jogging, performing exercises and has full AROM, 5/5 strength and zero pain. She is hopeful to have a normal Senior season before heading off to college thanks to Dr. Torrence and the amazing team at Regenexx.read more

Dr. Torrence spent more time with me than either my hip or back specialists have soent with me cumulatively over the past six months. He listened with empathy and asked questions to gain a full understanding of my situation. Also displayed great tenacity in getting medical records from specialists largely unwilling to give them up. Can’t wait to get treatment from him! He gave me hope and got me excited that there is another option. Phenomenal experience!!!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

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 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

Finally, a physician who was willing to take the time to properly diagnose and treat my problem instead of just prescribing pain medication! 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

All aspects of my care with Dr. Torrance and his staff have been excellent. I have had several procedures with Dr. Torrance and my most recent experience was no different yet still left me very impressed and recommending him to random people wherever I go.

I have lived with major pain in the degeneration of my left knee lateral and come to recent discovery of torn meniscus.. Dr Torrance and staff ease my mind and understood what I was going thru.

I'm grateful for this as my pain has greatly diminished. Thank you Dr Torrance and Staffread more

There are athletes and there are Doctors. Ron is one of those few who is both. This gives him special insight to both the pain and the performance demands of patients who refuse to quit. I nearly separated my right shoulder in a bicycle crash and was facing surgery and a year plus rehabilitation; using the ortho-biologic procedures practiced by Ron I am back up and riding in 3 months and beginning to do overhead weight training.I can not recommend Dr Torrance and the Regenexx procedures enough.read more

I only wish I had learned of this sooner. In May, 2021 I underwent stem cell treatment on my knee and lower back. In 8 short weeks I have had amazing results. Prior to my treatment I struggled walking more than a mile and had consistent discomfort in most daily activities. My lower back was so painful I was put on array of anti inflammatories that only masked my pain. I love the outdoors and being active. My lifestyle was changing and not for the better. I learned of Regenexx through my employer. I researched and after having 2 hip replacements a few years ago I thought this was a much better option to surgery if I was a candidate. I met with Dr. Torrance to discuss my options and so glad I did. He is brilliant, passionate & professional .Committed to his field and patients.I would recommend Regenexx and Dr. Torrance to anyone.read more

I had my initial consultation with Dr. Torrance and I was so very impressed. I am a Physical Therapist and I was so glad to see the amount of time he spent explaining to me what he saw, what he thought, what he thought was the best next step, and even the risks and benefits of that next step. From that moment on the staff has just been incredible. They promptly called me and got me scheduled for my procedure, provided me with answers to my questions, and sent me over all the information I needed! I'm eager to see whether this is going to be my "saving grace" but I highly recommend Regenexx and Dr. Torrance! He has excellent bedside manner, wonderful ability to answer my questions (even the science specific ones!), and is making the whole process as easy as he can!read more
