Dr.

In a philosophy he calls "Functional Orthopedics," Dr. Patel first takes a deep look into each person to treat not only their symptoms but also the root causes in a truly patient-centered approach. To optimize your results, he offers comprehensive nonsurgical treatments for orthopedic injuries and pain conditions, using what is safe and effective first before suggesting any form of surgery. In Interventional Orthopedics Dr. Patel uses a range of orthobiologic treatments, including platelet rich plasma (PRP), bone marrow stem cells, and platelet growth factors (PL) to treat arthritis, ligament or tendon injuries, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, and other orthopedic conditions. His goal is to get you back to a higher level of function with less pain. We are able to achieve this without using high dose cortisone/ steroid injections and can often keep patients from needing surgery.
