Now considered the “Mecca” of wound care on the west coast. Currently he is the Medical Director of the Clinic. He was a consulting physician for Novartis tissue engineering committee, Organogenesis bioengineered skin products, Spiracur leader of negative pressure therapy and the newer amniotic products. Those initial principles of using growth factors to heal complex wound has over the past 20 years expanded to many areas of foot and ankle advanced treatment and surgery. 

PRP therapy utilizes your body’s natural healing power by concentrating platelets from your own blood. When injected into the affected area, these platelets release growth factors that accelerate tissue repair and regeneration. PRP injections are effective for treating conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, and other soft tissue injuries, providing a natural and minimally invasive solution with minimal downtime. Our injection therapy is

Stem Cell therapy like Neox Flo leverages the potent healing capabilities of stem cells derived from amniotic tissue. This treatment is particularly beneficial for chronic foot and ankle conditions, including arthritis, tendon injuries, and degenerative issues. By delivering a rich blend of growth factors and anti-inflammatory agents, Neox Flo stimulates the body’s repair processes, reducing pain and enhancing mobility.

Vitamin B complex is essential for nerve function and regeneration. Our targeted Vitamin B complex injections deliver crucial nutrients directly to the affected areas, promoting nerve repair, reducing inflammation, and providing pain relief. This therapy is especially beneficial for patients with neuropathy due to diabetes, vitamin deficiencies, chemotherapy, Charcot Marie Tooth, or other underlying conditions.

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive procedure that uses targeted sound waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes.
