Even though I arrived a skeptic, Dr. Woodrow quickly was able to identify the direct source of my physical trauma and help resolve it over the course of a few visits. She even went a step further and recommended other therapies that would be beneficial to my healing. I am astounded by the depth of her knowledge about holistically repairing the human body and her capabilities as an Osteopath. She is a consummate professional with both compassion for the people whom she treats and a passion for what she does. I am grateful to her for helping me feel whole again.

The cabinet door had opened up above me, so when I got up, my head hit the cabinet door hard. This was one of the worst head injuries I have had. I could feel a pain in the upper neck, headahes, a big bump pain on the other side of my head and dizziness. My body was not aligned properly and something was clearly out of whack. Luckily I had an appointment with Dr. Etemad today on Day 3. After the treatment today, I felt aligned and able to go for a walk without feeling dizzy and misaligned. The pain and headache was gone and I was back to my normal self. I highly recommend Dr. Etemad. He knows what he's doing and explained how the hit on the head had gone down to the tailbone. His treatment was excellent! I am home resting now and feeling very relaxed and completley healed.

4 years ago I was diagnosed with cartilage degeneration in my left hip partly due to the 40+ years…read moreof active tennis playing (started playing when I was 5) and hereditary arthritis. As no other procedures existed in which to repair the cartilage, my orthopedic surgeon could only offer limited cortisone shots leading inevitably to hip replacement surgery. If you've never researched what is involved in hip replacement surgery I suggest you do so as this is an extreme operation for someone in my condition. Not to mention, but I will, that you'll need to have it done again in 15 years. Offered no other solutions, I didn't give up. I researched other medical alternatives and found that much progress was being made in stem cell regeneration but initially in medical facilities in the mid-West and East Coast. I stayed optimistic and was rewarded by finding Healthlink Medical Center in San Rafael. I attended a seminar being offered and hosted by Dr. Paul Handleman to further my education and to ask pointed questions specific to my condition. I found Dr. Handleman to be VERY knowledged and was extremely appreciative to the time he spent with me discussing how the stem cell procedure could prove to be advantageous. Within a year I made the decision to move forward with the procedure, worked with Dr. Handleman's excellent and caring staff (Dustin, Jessica, Rachael and Natalie) to arrange the most convenient time that allowed me the necessary recovery period required and never looked back. Now, over a week after having the procedure I am ecstatic to write that I no longer live with a dull throbbing pain shooting down my left leg. I had the procedure done on a Wednesday and was able to begin walking on my left leg that Saturday. Although I kept a positive attitude, I didn't expect immediate results. After walking around my house I felt I must be dreaming as I no longer had the dull throbbing pain that I had been living with for the past 4 years. I started to cry. It's been over a week now and I'm still living a dream!! I walk with no pain. I sleep on my left side with no pain. I go up and down stars with no pain. My mental attitude has changed because I feel I've been given back my quality of life. No cortisone shot gave me back the use of my leg like stem cell regeneration has done. I know it's early and time will tell but honestly I only see me getting better. To anyone reading this who is wondering if stem cell regeneration is the way to go - I say emphatically - YES!! At minimum, do your homework but don't believe your only recourse is medical replacement surgery. There is hope and I found it through Healthlink Medical Center, Dr. Handleman and, to me, his award winning team!! Stay positive!!

Dr. Handlemen is truly my hero. I had an accident that led me to a very painful dark area in my life in my back. He is honest and upfront . He is one that actually cares about his patients and well-being. I have seen him a couple times and had him do the procedures. For five years I've been through it all. All the doctors kept steering me in so many directions including surgery which is a 50-50 chance. I've heard good and really bad stories about surgery. There was nothing doctors recommended that would work. I truly tried everything possible out there besides surgery. I can honestly say I see my life is back . 5 years I lost don't let it happen to you. I wish I knew about this much earlier. But I'm grateful to know now, and not let another minute pass me by.

Instead, she wanted to sell me a lot of expensive supplements to treat other issues and to have me come in for osteopathic treatments. When I told her that one gave me horrible side effects, she seemed to not believe me and gave me no help overcoming it. I lost two weeks of my life recovering from it. She didn't seem interested in what I've tried before (including osteopathic treatments from 3 others). Also, there is an email system but no nurse in the office. Any question that I've asked over email was replied, make another appointment to discuss - even when issues were urgent and related to something sold to me by her. She seems like she cares. It may have just been me. The setup at this office though doesn't seem to be patient focused but $$$$$ focused.

This is an update of a previous review I posted in 2017…read more I started going to Dr. Handleman at Advanced Regenerative Orthopedics in 2012 in their first office for a variety of issues. Over the years I've had countless PRP procedures there and always refer people I meet to his business. The procedures were helping and giving me my body back. Over time they have gotten much more expensive than when I began. From around $1,000 for my first procedure to over $3,000 for my most recent one, even with the discount they say they've given me. I have reason to believe in more recent years, after my hostile divorce in 2018, they've been doing shady stuff around my procedures. I wear eye covers for the blood draw and the procedure because I hate needles and blood. I come by myself, so I don't know what they're doing.........how much blood they're taking, what tests they're running on it, if they're putting anything in instead of taking it out. For all I know, they could be loading me up with pain killer. For over 2 months after the procedure all I felt was pain in my wrist. Now I'm feeling pain in my shoulder and upper left SI Joint and more pain in my wrist. The pain in my upper back and neck ligaments is back. Maybe it's because the pain killer they shot me up with is wearing off. My last procedure was for my SI Joints, right shoulder and a tendon on my inner left wrist. The right SI Joint feels better. Part of the left one feels better, but the upper part feels the same or worse. Same with the left wrist. They felt better initially after the procedure, but instead of healing as time went on, the pain and discomfort came back. Especially in the SI Joint. The wrist was always painful. The right shoulder had instability and still has instability. Pain seems to be coming back. I believe I was given a placebo or a cortisone shot into the upper left SI Joint, left wrist and right shoulder. I mainly came in for the wrist. It was an acute injury doing something. When testing it before the procedure, he pulled it very hard and injured it even more than it was. After spending all that money, time of the procedure and recovery, going through the pain and discomfort of the procedure and recovery, my wrist, right shoulder and upper left SI Joint is worse than it was before the procedure. If they used a cortisone shot, that kills stem cells and tissue and makes the problem even worse after it wears off. Ditto if they injected me with pain killer. I know at their home base in Colorado, when they were testing the CCJ procedure, they gave some patients the real treatment(free) and some a placebo without them knowing which one they received. They were all aware they would get one or the other, but weren't told which one they got. Everyone knew the ones that got the placebo would be invited back for a free procedure. I believe they did the same thing to me without my knowledge or consent. I don't have any proof and they know it. My advice is to do what I'm going to do going forward and stay away from this business. Go to another Regenexx facility at a minimum or a completely different provider altogether. Steve Koffeld

After seeing a chiropractor, he experienced a horrible flare up causing intolerable pain. Because of the intense pain, my husband was desperate for an immediate solution. He either wanted to schedule an epidural the next morning (he's already had 2) with our insured hospital or see if his PRP injection appointment could be pushed up. I emailed Jessica at 9:27pm that night expecting to hear back the following day. Jessica not only read my email, she was able to reach out to Dr. Derrington for advice and respond by 10:45pm that same evening. She also called and left a voice mail however our phone was already on silent mode for the evening. My husband called Jessica at 7:00am the next morning expecting to leave her a message. Jessica answered her phone before arriving to work. Now that, my friends, is excellent customer service!! They were able squeeze my husband in for a follow up exam the next day and prescribe pain medication. They were also able to move his PRP injection up for 5 days from now.
