Sports medicine & orthopaedic care for Columbia
Columbia patients typically travel for an orthobiologic opinion or a second look at a shoulder or knee recommendation. Biologics are considered only after reasonable conservative treatment, and only with your own cells.
Who I see from Columbia
Runners, recreational and club athletes, Lake Murray boaters, kayakers on the Saluda and Broad rivers, golfers, hikers and active adults over forty.
Including Columbia, Lexington, Irmo, Chapin, Blythewood, West Columbia.
How care usually starts
Conservative care comes first for most problems — a clear diagnosis, activity changes and physician-directed therapy. Orthobiologics such as PRP or BMAC are considered only after reasonable conservative treatment, and surgery is never automatic, even after an injury.
Regenerative medicine for Columbia patients
As a regenerative medicine specialist and fellowship-trained shoulder and knee surgeon, I offer platelet-rich plasma (PRP), bone marrow concentrate and microfat — all made from your own cells — alongside shockwave therapy, arthroscopy, ACL and meniscus surgery, rotator cuff repair and shoulder replacement. Patients from Columbia can get every option, surgical and non-surgical, weighed in one visit.
