Honest candidacy

Are you a good candidate?

Regenerative care works best when there's still tissue to work with. We'll tell you the truth — for free.

We often help

  • Moderate knee osteoarthritis (cartilage still present)
  • Partial meniscus tears
  • Patellar & quadriceps tendonitis
  • Ligament strains and overuse injuries
  • “Wear-and-tear” pain that hasn't responded to PT or injections

When it may be too advanced

  • Bone-on-bone / end-stage (grade 4) arthritis
  • Severe deformity or joint instability
  • Complete ligament ruptures needing reconstruction

If that's you, we'll say so at no charge and point you to the right next step.

Straight answers

Knee questions people ask

I was told I'm “bone on bone.” Am I a candidate? +
Often not — regenerative care needs some remaining cartilage to work with. We'll review your imaging and tell you honestly, and the consultation is free either way.
I've already tried cortisone or gel injections. +
Many patients come to us after those wear off. We'll review what you've tried and what's still worth considering — without pressure.
What will it cost? +
The consultation is always free. Treatment, if you're a candidate, is self-pay and quoted only after the physician reviews your case. We explain costs and any financing clearly — no surprises.
Do you take insurance? +
These services are generally self-pay, as insurance typically doesn't cover them. We'll walk you through the costs during your free consultation.
