Sports medicine & orthopaedic care for Hilton Head Island

Hilton Head patients usually make the trip for a considered second look — a golf or tennis shoulder, a rotator cuff tear, knee arthritis, or a tendon that has not settled — and want to know whether regenerative medicine makes sense before anything surgical.

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 Hilton Head Island 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 Hilton Head Island can get every option, surgical and non-surgical, weighed in one visit.
