I am compelled to write this review - not just because of the exceptional care I received from Dr. Patel and his team but to help inform people of the tremendous benefit of regeneration therapeutics. I suffered an injury over Christmas that left me unable to walk, excruciating pain just to stand. I took 3,000 mg Tylenol, and 400 mg Celebrex without relief. I had to fly home early from my daughter's in MO, in a wheelchair. I went to see an orthopedic surgeon who was not helpful but did prescribe PT. I went to PT for months and in March was still in bad pain with most usual activities. I was living a very restricted life. I researched functional orthopedic care and I am so grateful I found Dr. Patel. After reading reviews I made an appointment but was still unsure if I could get results like those I read about. He spent 90 minutes with me (never has any physician spent 90 minutes with me) - watched me walk, examined my spine and muscle strength, asked me lots of questions, and answered all of mine. He reviewed the 2 sets of X-rays that had been taken previously, gave me his working diagnosis, and ordered an MRI. The MRI showed a strangulated nerve root at L5 in addition to several other findings including severe facet arthropathy. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and stem cell therapeutics are still not covered by insurance (despite being found beneficial for well over a decade), and the cost was higher than I had anticipated. He explained my options - taking the insurance-covered route or taking his route (recommending both procedures for my complex case) but with the possibility of full mobility. I scheduled my procedure and the day before I would have fell in the parking lot after having lunch with a friend if she had not been with me, due to the severe claudication in my left leg. His patient advocate made sure I had everything prepared before my procedure. His team was extraordinary - calling the night before with reminders about medications to take before coming, medications to bring, etc. My procedure was much more complex than usual but everything went great! The care I received during the procedure was exceptional and prior preparation made the transition home easy. For the first 3 days, I was in a lot of pain and grateful to have purchased the walker as they suggested. The walker and the back brace helped to mitigate some of the pain when I needed to get up and move around my house. As I live alone, I was grateful to have my sister come and stay with me for 3 days. After about a week, the only pain I felt was in the back of my pelvis at the two puncture sites for the bone marrow aspiration. I have taken no pain medication not even Tylenol, after the first 5 days. It has been about 5 weeks now since the procedure and I am pain-free at rest and continuing to push my body with PT twice a week. I have full flexibility without pain. I can lift 15 pounds without pain and am walking 2 to 3 miles a day without pain. I am confident in another month or two I will be back to full physical activities. These procedures administered by an exceptionally skilled and knowledgeable physician can regenerate the lower back - ligaments, muscles, and facets, and stabilize the lower back. I highly recommend Dr. Patel to anyone suffering back pain, who believes they must live a life of limited activity, muscle relaxants, and pain medication, or face back surgery that could leave you worse off. Please make an appointment and learn more about this treatment given your situation. The consultation examination will be the best physical exam you have ever had and worth every cent! read more

My experience with the front desk/intake staff was disappointing. The person I spoke with talked very quickly, mumbled, and was difficult to understand over the phone. The conversation felt very scripted and transactional, with little sense of warmth, patience, or genuine patient care. Instead of feeling welcomed or helped, I found myself wanting to end the call as quickly as possible. While the doctor may provide excellent care, the front office experience created a poor first impression and felt unnecessarily off-putting. read more

Star rating is for the initial intake lady NOT Dr. Patel. What an absolute nightmare. It's very hard to understand her as she speaks extremely fast that she mumbles her words and is very very pushy. It would be helpful to slow down and explain how things operate instead of pushing to book an appointment so fervently. It's extremely off putting and makes it seem like the office is all about money which I know it's not. When asking her to repeat herself, her tone, speed and annunciation doesn't change, she doesn't pick up on conversation cues and interrupts constantly. Horrible first impression. Weird vibes. Would replace her immediately. read more

Hate to say it, the sales team and onboarding team is an absolute nightmare. My brother saw Dr Patel... and given I've been dealing with a knee issue... I thought I'd finally book an app for myself. I was just hung up on by a very rude individual with an English accent. Given I've referred 3 patients, including my own brother, you'd think that the sales team or front office would care more. And, when attempting to simply reschedule my appointment over 3 days and calling 6 times, they still charged me. I really just need to see Dr. Patel. Each hold time was over 4 minutes. This is a last ditch effort to get someone respectful to actually call me back. read more

Shounuck Patel, DO - Waiting time. - Sports Medicine Near Me - Newport Beach, California

Dr. Patel, and staff were very professional with all medical visits, including pre and post visits and phone calls. If you are a candidate, for regenerative medicine, Dr. Patel is the number 1 doctor to see to help you with your pain and recovery. I had PRP to my injury, and it help in my post recovery. Thank you Dr. Patel for your medical services ! read more

My hip labral tear, knee tears and arthritic toe joint were keeping me from doing my favorite activities so I consulted with Dr. Patel and proceeded to do several stem cell and PRP procedures over several months. My pain and limitations are mostly gone from all of the problem areas. Dr. Patel was so great at diagnosing the sources of my pain and targeting treatment for each and outlining a plan to get it all done so that I could enjoy some hiking trips in the summer. He explains everything so well from initial consultation through the actual procedures. I found the stem cell extractions to be less traumatic and painful than expected. I actually thought that the bone marrow extraction was pretty easy. His staff monitored my prep and my recovery closely after each procedure. I have recommended Dr. Patel to many others already and will continue to do so and to go back when I need any further help with my aging joints. read more

I've been dealing with pain in my lower back for the longest time and have tried many different types of therapies and treatments - nothing ever seemed to work. What's even worse is that the pain affects all areas of my life including work, relationships, mood, etc. I was feeling down and out for the longest time until one day I was introduced to Dr. Patel and his functional regeneration practice. Dr. Patel is one of the most down to earth and professional doctors I have ever met. Right from the get go, Dr. Patel along with his amazing staff really took care of me every step of the way. Dr. Patel is great at what he does and is able to pinpoint exactly what was going on with me through accurate diagnosis. He is also very patient, knowledgeable and kind. Throughout the entire procedure Dr. Patel and his team made sure I was comfortable and well-cared for. The level of service I received is unmatched. Fast forward to a couple months after the procedure, I've been feeling a lot better than when I first went in and I'm still continuing to heal every day. I'm super grateful to have gone through with the procedure and feel like I got a second chance at bettering my health. Thank you Dr. Patel! read more

If you're looking for a Dr within this area of medicine then look no further. I had PRP treatment which helped to remove two years of pain. The customer service and patient care is of the highest level. You're in safe hands. read more

Man. I can't say enough about dr. Patel and his staff. I have been struggling with golfers elbow for over two years when I went to see him. I already had seen multiple doctors and PTs. He gave me all my options and after the treatment and rehab I almost back. He doesn't have push anything, he honestly cares for his patients. Also his staff is the best they are always smiling and happy which gives the whole place a good vibe. Hopefully I won't need to see him again but if I need it, I know where I will look for treatment!! read more

Dr Patel is the best doctor you can possible have. He is extremely attentive to what is the cause of the discomfort and has a very thoughtful approach to what treatment and how to apply that will help each patient. I appreciated that he focused on exactly what motion in my arm and position led to the discomfort and devised a treatment to specifically and accurately address the pain points. You are in GREAT hands with Dr. Patel. read more

Good afternoon everyone, First off, I want to share my sincere thank you with all of you, that made this blessing happen for me! I could not be here, as happy and optimistic as I am today without all of you! As a disabled combat veteran, I have chosen since getting medically retired to give back to my community; coaching youth sports, youth outreach programs for at risk youth and of course helping my fellow veterans with claims and even providing rides to their appointments to gather their own care. With that being said, I found Micaela and VIP on a google search while in tears, and I mean a dark day in tears rolling down my face. The pain without answers from my VA Docs was so disheartening and disappointing. After filling out the VIP online form, well, here I am after Micaela got my mind back together and now, God willing providing the guidance to the body as well! The positive mindset of healing is really helping me with PTSD and only getting better with less pain! My eyes feel watery just writing this and it's no BS! I truly mean it, thank you to all of you who have helped make not only me feel so much love, blessings; but others like me! And VIP wouldn't make it without everyone putting in their work and time as well, bridging these gaps and allocating funds and grants. Today, after 17 months, I was finally able to jog for 5min at 4.5mph without any pain!!! You have no idea how this feels, just 10days post-op with the amazing Dr.Patel!!!!! Much more to come! As an avid Brazilian Jiujitsu national competitor, I can't wait to compete at this years IBJJF Masters Worlds Championships in Las Vegas and truly show how well your treatments and programs have helped me capture my goals!!! And well if no podium for me, then at least I went out there and gave it my all!!! Feel free to follow my progress on Instagram @survivorbjj if you'd like to, I know it's cheesy, but hey, that's me in a nutshell, . Thank you to everyone and God Bless!! Few free to reply or share any guidance or suggestions in my healing, as I welcome it all! ~Justin read more

Saw Dr Patel about 1 yr ago for my herniated disc and multiple bulging discs. He was the most thorough and caring and knowledgeable Doctor I have ever met. Before my PRP procedure I was basically in pain 24/7 , couldn't stand more than 5 minutes, couldn't even sit more than a few minutes... all I can do is lay down. I was like that for over 6 months ! I tried steroid epidural which made it worse! After my procedure .. about 3 months has passed and I was about 50% better! It was such a relief to atleast see some healing going on. I went in 6 months after initial procedure and asked to have a booster injection because I was only about 50% better. The back has very bad circulation, therefore back injuries are very slow to heal, if ever heal... we have to bring about inflammation and thus healing with these prp injection. Dr Patel didn't in particular want to offer a second booster injections, because I could of waited and continued to heal slowly.... but... I had to ask for them....which is another great factor about him because he's never pushing pushing things for you to do for no reason. Anyways.... I'm about 80-90% now. I do rehab .... and I'm able to exercise like my old self now...except with a weight restriction ... which is fine ! I'm able to do it ! I'm forever thankful for Dr Patel and his staff !!! I know I will be having more injections in future, but for now, peace out. read more

Dr Patel is worth every minute you spend with him. He is so thorough and cares about me as a person. He is present and researching what is best for you. i wish i could have him as my GP. My son is a testament of his great work to help him heal which is why i have turned to him as well. my issues are shoulder pain and recently reached out regarding dizziness and neck pain. He has a plan in place and i look forward to being free of all these concerns. read more

It's been 2 weeks since my 4th PRP with Dr Patel. It's early, but both my knee's and my left shoulder seem way more stable then ever. I've been sleeping on my left shoulder. Seems like the 4th one was very powerful. I'm glad I added that. It takes time this work. But if you understand it and get it done right. It's amazing. Thank you Dr Patel and his team read more

"I feel like I was heard. He explained everything he saw and used visuals. I am more aware of my issue. Feel so much better after this visit. I feel hopeful." read more

I had heard that Dr. Patel and Regenexx were the best in town and I had to come see for myself. I have torn hip labrums and was dealing with severe pain for over a year. Dr. Patel treated me with PRP injections 2 months ago. He very knowledgeable and provided me with very useful information regarding diet, supplements and exercise at home. After procedure, I followed instructions and did Physical therapy 2 times a week. I am happy to say that everything seems to be working and I am about 80% now and positive I will get to 100% very soon. I am grateful to Dr. Patel for his expertise with PRP which helps patience like myself avoid surgery. Every patient should give Regenexx/ Dr. Patel a chance to help with their pain and avoid surgery. Also, the staff at Regenexx is very knowledge and friendly. read more

If you want one of the best doctors in the regenerative stem cell therapy business, then this is the one. Dr. Patel is impressively knowledgeable in all areas of stem cell therapy. He is passionate about his work, explains everything in layman's terms, he is honest about your situation and is upfront if you are a good candidate or not. It has been four weeks since my stem cell therapy on my 61 year old knee that had a torn ACL and sprained MCL and LCL. The various procedures on my knee occurred on three separate days over the course of a week. Dr. Patel and his incredible staff were all caring and helpful throughout the process...throughout the serious process, everyone working with me had a delightful personality. My knee, once I could start putting weight on my foot, automatically felt tighter and not wobbly or had any catch post therapy. Everyday, along with physical therapy, my knee feels stronger and stronger. Dr. Patel and his staff have followed up with my progress, will continue to do so, and are available anytime if I have questions or concerns. I am looking forward to six months when I can see my ACL in an MRI and see the regrowth. I would recommend Dr. Patel over and over for this work. The time is now to contact his office, set up an appointment, and get the ball rolling so you can live life pain free and get back to doing the things you love. read more

I developed a mysterious ailment in both knees which caused them to swell and fill with liquid, to the point where I was not able to bend them hardly at all. I went from being a super-fit woman who was a star in my Bar Method classes, to not being able to walk without great difficulty, practically overnight. I saw several rheumatologists, including Dr. Daniel Wallace, supposedly the top in the field, and they all wanted to write me off as having rheumatoid arthritis, even though I had none of the symptoms. My boyfriend did a lot of research, which I entirely trusted since he was valedictorian at Berkeley, and in the top 5% of his Harvard Law class, and believe me, this man can do research like nobody's business. He was 100% convinced that I absolutely did not have RA, and he thought I could be helped by PRP or stem cell injections, which led us to Dr. Patel. I was desperate, and Dr. Patel could have sold me an expensive PRP or stem cell treatment, but he took a look at me and the MRI my boyfriend had insisted I get done (none of the rheumatologists had thought to do that), and he also did an ultrasound, and based on the results, he told us that he did not think that either treatment was required at that time. He prescribed physical therapy, and said that if that didn't work, then we could re-visit the other options. He spent a lot of time with us, and answered all our questions. He didn't seem at all like he was looking at the clock or tapping his toes impatiently. My boyfriend is very thorough, and thinks to ask many more questions than would ever occur to me, but Dr. Patel put up with all of them professionally and good-naturedly, and answered them thoroughly, to my, and (more importantly) my very demanding boyfriend's satisfaction. After several weeks of physical therapy, I was almost as good as new, able to bend my knees almost all the way. Now, a few weeks after that, no one could tell there had ever been anything wrong with me, I'm able to run, walk, and do anything that any fit human being could do. However, I still have an odd feeling in my knees, which doesn't prevent me from engaging in any activities, but makes my skin feel as if it gets stretched very taut across my knees when I bend them all the way. When I returned to Dr. Patel for my follow-up, he was extremely pleased with my progress, and when I asked if the PRP or stem cells might help this feeling go away, even then he said we should hold off and revisit the situation in a couple of months. I am so very grateful to Dr. Patel for not trying to sell me everything in his bag of tricks, but doing what he knew would be the right thing for me. When I think of how those idiot rheumatologists wanted to put me on an "aggressive immuno-suppresive drug therapy," which would have compromised my immune system, but done nothing for my knees (and thus plunged me into suicidal depression), I get murderous thoughts. Instead, I saw Dr. Patel and he saved me from all that. As if all that weren't enough, he also has a very engaging and positive personality, which makes it a pleasure to visit him. While I hope no further visits will be necessary, and that weird feeling which is the only remnant of my horrific, crippling ailment will eventually disappear on its own, if by chance they prove to be, at least it will be a pleasure that the doctor I will be seeing will be Dr. Patel. read more

My experience with Dr. Patel and their staff was like no other I've had in a very long time. Everyone is very kind and attentive as well as helpful. One of the best things for me is how thorough Dr Patel is when he examines you. Takes his times with you and asks you a lot of questions in order to get to the root of the issue which most times is more complex than we think. I'm extremely happy and thankful i was able to find them. As i already received two treatments and doing physical therapy I've improved a lot from the pain I was in. I have recommended Dr. Patel to many of my friends and colleagues and i would recommend to anyone. I've slowly made my way back to dancing which is my profession and I'm hoping to be back %100 very soon. Thank you Dr. Patel and staff :) read more

Dr. Patel is the best. He actually sits down and talks to me as vs down to me. And he explains everything that I was going through, the reasons why, and what the possible treatments plans were. It was so comprehensive. I love that. Highly recommend Dr. Patel for pain management and related issues. read more

I am not a big fan of doctors but this place was actually a pretty nice experience. I have had a bum knee for years and Dr Patel recommended a PRP injection. Basically I went through with the procedure as I DID NOT want surgery. Six months later & my knee feels much better. Thanks Dr Patel read more

This review is about results from my second PRP injections.... not so good as one and one half years ago so don't expect the same results the second time around. The procedure did not help the compression from my DJD and minimally helped my sciatic issues. Dr Patel and his staff are excellent but I just did not respond the second time. My disappointment is that I received very little follow up from his office after his initial post procedure contact. read more

I've had back pain for almost 2 years. I've seen multiple doctors and had multiple procedures with no luck.I'm so glad I'm now seeing dr. Patel. He is addressing big problems with my back that two other Doctors never even looked at. Basically, everything that stabilizes your spine. I really like his comprehensive approach. My only regret is not seeing him sooner read more

i allege dr. shounuck patel, with regenex scam stem cell procedure is a quack. he and dr. vishal thakral, lied to me, and promised me that my badly degenerated hip, could preclude me from conventional hip surgery. the procedure was expensive, and painful. dr. shounuck patel, and dr. vishsal thakral, sawed in to my hip with a buzz saw, with just a local anesthetic. the procedure is a fraud. it does not work. they work for another alleged quack, disgraced chiropractor, dr.norman deitch. avoid all 3 quacks, and their bogus stem cell procedures. we are in litigation with all 3 quacks, in las vegas. rex reginald read more

I am really a believer in the treatments here at Regenexx with Dr Patel. I had rotator cuff surgery on both shoulders and an a very active surfer and weight lift also to keep up my strength. All I want to do is surf until I'm old. I went to Dr Patel for a assessment on how to stay healthy and strong on operated tendons, which by definition are already weakened. I also had AC joint ACH I was. I decided on a PRP treatment. I was at first a little hesitant because Regenexx is definitely a little pricier than the usual ones I was seeing and once got at my ortho's office. But I had heard good things about Regenexx so decided to take the plunge. The entire thing lasted a few hours and it was a lot more involved and intense than the regular PRP shot at the Dr's office. They took many more vials of blood and the procedure lasted about an hour for both shoulders. We had about 3/4 injection sites each. I have to say that knowing what I know now about the procedure, the price is more than reasonable. It's not your regular old PRP spin and shoot. I am about 2.5 months post procedure and I can say that my shoulders feel great. Before, my AC joint and rotator cuff area would get sore and achy on a surf trip if I surfed 1-2 sessions for a few days in a row. I just went on a trip and surfed every day for 7 days and while definitely tired, no AC joint aches. I was pretty surprised. Amazing. I'm going to do another PRP later this year after the fall season just for good measure and probably keep it up as a maintenance routine. read more

Dr. Patel was knowledgeable as he was kind. I was hesitant at first not knowing much about this type of medicine but my hesitancy was put to ease after meeting with him. I had a torn MCL. I tried everything but it wasn't healing. Dr.Patel knew what to do with such precision and accuracy that I knew we would get this puppy fixed. And we did. I wanted someone who knew what he was doing. Someone intelligent and effective. This was Dr. Patel. Highly recommended. read more

Nice office, great physician. Dr. Patel has a wonderful bedside manner; informative, comprehensive, and easy going. You really feel like you get the entire clinical picture and make an unbiased educated decision. Color me completely satisfied and another success story. Thanks Dr. Patel! read more

I can't say enough great things about Dr Patel. I delt with chronic back pain for 2 years after an injury. I saw *literally* dozens of doctors in that time (MDs, DOs, acupuncture, Chiropractor, PTs, the list goes on) and nothing could help my back or even give me a clear diagnosis. Really when I was close to my last straw, I made a consultation with Dr. Patel. It was by far the most thorough examination from a Dr. I had had in the two years. He checked everything, even minor details I wouldn't have thought of. I ended up having the platelet transfer procedure and now a year later I am almost 100% better. My mobility/flexibility in my back has greatly improved, and my sciatica is completely gone! I still ache occasionally or will have a flair up day here and there...but this is nothing after being in significant / almost debilitating pain on the daily. Prior I wasn't able to do anything active besides walking, and now I am able to return to my life (hike, running, swimming, etc). So really I can't recommend and thank Dr Patel enough for his help! It truly changed and turned my life around. read more

I did the Regenexx procedure with Dr. Shounuck Patel for a herniated disc in my neck and it CAUSED me nerve damage in my neck and chronic pain in my arm and hand. The procedure was very expensive, did not work and CAUSED nerve damage and chronic pain. This procedure was extremely harmful !!!!!!!!! This doctor CAUSED me a lot of damage and CHRONIC pain. The Regenexx procedure that Dr. Shounuck Patel performed not only did not make me better and was very expensive, but it also CAUSED a lot of nerve damage and chronic pain and made me a lot worse. read more

Dr. Patel treated my brother for chronic neck/back pain. He was compassionate, caring, intelligent and extremely thorough. He spent a great deal of time reviewing prior radiology films and explaining pathology/treatment options. Dr. Patel is also very easy to communicate with, responds very fast to any and all questions. Would not hesitate to recommend him! read more

Making the seemingly impossible, possible, Dr. Patel healed my right knee ACL without surgery. With a stem cell and PRP procedure, my torn ACL reattached and is growing back. The injury was 24 years old from Judo. Three months after my knee procedure, I followed up with a similar shoulder stem cell procedure, and also PRP for herniated discs. Dr. Patel is an expert at diagnosing, joint healing, reading MRI images, and precision guided placement of injections. I highly recommend rebuilding and healing with Dr. Patel's guidance over surgery when you are a fit. Dr. Patel validates your situation and if a good candidate for the procedures. The before and after MRI definitively show the results along with elimination of pain and more stability. The office staff and nurses are also very friendly and helpful. The office follows up regularly before and after procedures and makes the experience easy. read more

Dr. Patel is absolutely outstanding and he is the only one to go to! My 70 year old mother in law came to him for pain in her right knee and right foot. At the time she could barely walk or stand for more than thirty minutes and would have painful swelling every night. During the consult, Dr. Patel spent over an hour with her, he explained everything in detail, went over imaging and answered every question, even all the repetitive ones! He was so thorough and knowledgeable - We had never seen or experienced a doctor like this before. We learned more from Dr. Patel's consult than any other doctor we had consulted with. He was never rushed and his bedside manner with my mother in law was amazing - English is not her first language so it was important to me that she felt comfortable and cared for. We ended up getting a procedure with Dr. Patel and my mother in law could not be happier! Everything went smoothly and the recovery was just as Dr. Patel explained. Fast forward three months later, my mother in law can walk for hours now and her knee pain is gone! We are so grateful to Dr. Patel and his staff. My mother in law sent in a personal thank you card and not only thanked Dr. Patel but wanted to thank Jessica and Liz for making taking extra special care of her. Again thank you Dr. Patel for being a great doctor and taking such good care of my mother in law. We recommend you to everyone! read more

As a doctor myself, I searched widely for options when I had a bulging disc in my low back that was causing a great deal of pain and dysfunction. I did PT for a few months and it helped but I needed more relief. Because of scoliosis in my spine, I was advised by a spine surgeon that there was no simple surgical fix. I found that many providers are doing procedures with PRP and stem cells, but Dr. Patel stood out as someone who really understands how to use these modalities and also takes the time to understand what is happening with one's individual anatomy. He not only addressed the disc bulge, but the underlying mechanisms that probably led to it. My initial evaluation over the phone was extensive and thoughtful. When I met Dr. Patel in person, he was just as thorough and thoughtful in his approach. The procedure went very well, with little discomfort. He explained my expected recovery very well and he was spot on! I experienced a step-wise improvement every few weeks. I asked him to do a second procedure 2 months later. It's been 5 months since my initial procedure and I am tremendously better. I can do almost all of the activities I used to do with little pain. I did a follow up MRI and the disc bulge actually has improved, which is consistent with what I feel! Granted I have also been doing everything Dr. Patel advised to support my healing, including extensive PT to rehab my spine. At this point, I am thrilled to no longer feel that surgery might be needed. I would even consider another procedure in hopes of even greater improvement. Dr. Patel never pushes a procedure and he even advised me to wait now and see if I improve more without another PRP. I should also add that I have great confidence in Dr. Patel to safely work on my spine. I enjoyed being awake for the procedure. He explained everything as he did it and I knew that he was skilled. read more

I waited over an hour before Dr. Patel saw me. He only recommended options that were not covered by insurance. Like surgeons, he pushes for therapies that may or may not work after possibly spending thousands of dollars. read more

Dr S Patel is compassionate and an amazing physician. I would def go to him for any musculoskeletal injury.

Can't say enough good things about Dr. Patel. All the feed back on yelp is correct. Very smart, caring, and thorough. Highly recommended.

Dr. Patel saved my life and I had the best care. I went from competing at a high level in Crossfit to being suddenly crippled by lower back pain. I went to 7 different specialists for my problems, just to be told I could not be helped. Between years of time wasted with various physicians and specialized tests I was lead to my last hope at health link medical center with Dr. Patel. My hopes for help at this point was very minimal and becoming exhausted of my efforts to alleviate my pain. I scheduled a consultation with Dr. Patel and from that moment I got my life back. He spent around 1-2 hours of full in depth assessment, studying my biomechanics and movement. He evaluated all of my images and explained fully everything he is seeing that is problematic causing me pain. He never once tried to "sell" me on a treatment, he was 100% honest, which was a first for me since my journey to pain relief started. During my Regenexx procedures Dr. Patel made me feel like I was at home and comfortable. Regenexx alleviated my pain after only 2 treatment and almost 3 years post op I am pain free and I am moving better than ever. I am back to working out and enjoying life again. I am not on any medications or treatments. Dr Patel's bedside manner and knowledge of the human body saved my life and I am forever grateful. read more

Dr. Patel is probably the best physiatrist I have come across! I had this strange issue in my upper arm near the biceps where I had this acute pain. I am not an athlete, just someone who works out 3-4 times a week. But this pain was getting worse to the point that could not lift my arm up properly. After going to couple of other experts through my insurance & not getting a good evaluation of what was going on. I decided to see Dr. Patel. From the moment I got there the receptionist was super nice and got me in quick. Dr. Patel took the time to talk to me in detail, I did not feel rushed at all. He did a very thorough exam of my movements & followed it up with an ultrasound. He diagnosed the issue right away and put me at ease. He got to the cause of what could have been causing this rather than just treating the area. I felt extremely satisfied with the diagnosis & he showed me ways to alter some of my upper body exercises. My pain has reduced tremendously & I feel better after every visit. The practice itself is really nice, the staff is great. If nothing has worked out so far, this is THE place to go to & Dr. Patel is the person you want to see! read more
