Dr. Tallman's unique approach, techniques & training, (outlined on his website), are far superior…read moreto any other doctor/practice I've researched; and most importantly, the results are nothing shy of MIRACULOUS, (as a former National Champion distance runner, I have some very high standards too!). To date, Dr. Tallman has done 12 stem cell treatments on me in the past ~8 years, NEVER ONCE failing to FULLY heal a new injury with a SINGLE treatment, (and I've come in with the full gamut, ranging from various ligament sprains & frayed tendons, to cartilage fissures, to even a fractured talus). The sheer SPEED of recovery from his treatments is equally miraculous: I'm typically back walking 5-10+ miles per day within just 1-2 weeks post-treatment; and by 3.5 - 4 weeks, ready to do what I now live for: EXTREME off-trail hiking/peak-bagging that involves 11-20+ miles & 7-12+ hours PER DAY!
In addition to being a super skilled doctor and a perfectionist, Dr. Tallman's 'bedside manners' are impeccable: he takes the time to LISTEN to the patient & answer questions, he thoroughly explains what issues are present & how he plans to treat them, and he takes the time to get the treatment done properly. To top it off, his passion & drive to help people just radiates and really enhances the overall experience.
Words cannot express how incredibly thankful I am to have Dr. Tallman 'put me back together' each year, (...sometimes twice per year...!), after the hiking season where I've pushed my body to insane limits. The only drawback to having such an amazing, one-of-a-kind doctor in my corner: when he does finally decide to retire, (which thankfully isn't any time soon from what he's told me!), then by default, so must I.
Concluding with a specific example, (and by far one of the most impressive!) is my right ankle, which had been nearing Stage 3 arthritis from a childhood injury that occurred over 2 decades prior to my first visit with Dr. Tallman. Subjectively speaking, I was unable to "lead" with my right foot/leg while stepping down off anything taller than about 6" (if I tried to do so, my foot would literally buckle out in pain, almost like the automatic recoil one would experience from touching a hot stove with bare hands). And even just walking across a level surface would amount to CONSTANT stiffness at best, often accompanied by mild to moderate soreness/pain. Unlike all the other (new) injuries, (which Dr. Tallman confidently & correctly predicted would be healed in full after just one stem cell treatment), he made NO promises on [what HAD BEEN] my 'bum' ankle. There were mild to moderate improvements after the very first treatment, (and each treatment thereafter), and by about the 4th or 5th stem cell treatment, the healing took off in leaps and bounds, (literally!), as I could leap off a 3' tall rock/boulder, or jump down the last few steps, and land on my right foot without issue! And after another 3-4 stem cell treatments, the ankle RARELY EVER feels stiff, even after sitting for hours on end & then getting up to walk. The miraculous, 'subjective' results are consistent with the improvements on the MRIs.
