For Physicians
Allan Mishra, MD an assistant professor of Orthopedic Surgery at Stanford University Medical Center and one of the leading researchers in the field says, “It’s a better option for problems that don’t have a great solution… it is non-surgical and uses the body’s own cells to help it heal. I think it is fair to say that Platelet Rich Plasma has the potential to revolutionize, not just sports medicine, but all of Orthopedics.”
