Extremely positive with excellent outcome

Every visit has been a great experience. Dr. Papas does a through explanation of what the problem is and then explains exactly what to expect with treatment and what to expect with the outcome. Follow up appointments are always pleasant and educational.

I had a meniscus tear and was scheduled for surgery but discovered Dd r. Papas and I am akready 80%

I learned about Dr. Papas from a friend who had successful stem cell therapy 1 year ago for her torn meniscus. I only needed platlet therapy and I have improved dramatically in just 6 weeks. I am thrilled to have avoided surgery along with a probable knee replacement further down the line. I am walking well, attending physical therapy appointments and I expect that I will continue to improve in the coming months as I continue therapy,

He and his PA gained our total.confidence/trust

Entire team team was knowledgeable, efficient, friendly. And gave candid answers to questions without any fluff. Not inexpensive. I just completed me therapy last week. But if it works, I’ll be a happy camper. Regardless of outcome. I did my homework beforehand and none of the others I talked with matched the competency of this group.

Stem cell and PRP treatment of foot - terrific results 8 weeks post

Everyone involved were extremely professional and attentive understanding the issues I was having with significant pain, inability to walk and surgery as the only option. The Stem cell and PRP procedures have absolutely allowed me to regain my life style, avoid surgery and given a strong path to total elimination of foot joint pain. Would highly recommend this as an option if you have been told by others that surgery is the thing to do.

A real doctor who know his stuff!

I am so blessed to found Regenexx. Dr. Papas is so knowledgeable and even more he has the ability to explain everything to you clearly so you can understand what, when where and why. I also went to three other doctors before who clearly talk out of their a s s and it’s obvious because they could not explain in detail. He knows his stuff and I trust him completely. He is a regenerative medicine doctor- not an orthopedic pretending to deliver stem cells. 100% recommend him. I’m excited for the future.

Dr. Papas has provided me something that no other doctor has been able to give to me, pain free life

Dr. Papas spent quality time with me to understand exactly what my issues were and to set clear expectations of going into the procedure. I've lived with consistent pain for almost 20 years and after 2 rounds of procedures (which were clearly explained that it may take more than 1 with my diagnosis) I've been living 100% pain free for over a year. I cannot thank Dr. Papas and his staff for getting me back on my feet and allowing me the opportunity to get back to living my life to the fullest.

Amazing experience treating my shoulder pain

I am a 93-yo man who injured his shoulder doing yard work. I was in pain but because of Covid I put off going to see anyone. Eventually I made an appt with an ortho. We tried Cortisone and PT, which were not much help.
I made an appt with Regenexx Tampa Bay. It was the best move I could have made. The receptionist, Karen and nurse, Ana, were both extremely nice. Dr. Papas is a nice young man who gave me a thorough exam that lasted over an hour, including x ray, ultrasound and diagnosis of a partially torn rotator cuff. I felt so reassured after consulting with him, with no rush he answered all of our questions. His recommendation was PRP (they draw blood, prep it in their lab, and reinject your shoulder. I had about 4 days of post procedure pain. During my course I was in contact with a very nice lady, Kim, my coordinator. Words cant describe how helpful she was. I am on the mend and getting back to normalcy. If you are contemplating surgery, talk to Regenexx first.

Highly recommend!

Dr. Papas and his team exceeded my expectations. I came in with neck, back and shoulder issues from a previous car accident. He and his team thoroughly addressed all issues and concerns. The PRP injections and post treatment plans have helped me get back back to my daily life. I would highly recommend Dr. Papas with Regenexx Tampa Bay to everyone.

Unbelievable results!!!!

I had terrible pain in my left elbow for the last two years due to a fracture. I saw many Orthopedic specialists and had surgery, injections, and physical therapy, all with negative results. My pain was excruciating, causing me to lose the use of my arm and spend many sleepless nights.
After treatment with Dr.Papas my pain is 100% gone and I am sleeping fantastic, walk 5-7 miles a day, losing weight and feeling energetic. This has changed my life!!
