exceeded my expectations

I recently had knee and hip procedures done by Dr. Papas. He took special time and care to walk me through every step of the process before during the procedures. He and his staff are absolutely first class. I will be returning to resolve other issues in the future. I will highly recommend he and Regenexx to everyone i know.

very thorough interview

Dr. Papas was extremely helpful in reviewing my shoulders. My goal was just to get a extensive understanding of my situation so that I could make the best decision for myself. I may actually not do the procedure as my situation is severe enough that it may not help. Nonetheless he was HONEST with me not trying to sell me on a procedure, rather helped me by making me understand my situation.

Thank you again

the real deal!

When my other orthopedic said scraping surgery (& yeah, we can do stem cell but will still have to do surgery) I went home and went on Dr Mercola's website and there was a link to Regenexx! Dr Papas gave a thorough evaluation and spent time with me to make sure i understood the whole procedure. I couldn't be more pleased with the turn out!

Dr. Papas

I was a little leary about having this procedure, but after consulting with Dr. Papas and then having the stem cell procedure, I am extremely happy with the results.

The most professional evaluation possible

We did our research and came here specifically because of the reputation of Dr. Centeno and the physicians here in Tampa. There is no question that a center with MDs and an on-site lab is the safest and most successful way to approach stem cell therapy. We felt we have definitely found this with the Tampa Regenexx group. Looking forward to scheduling our procedures.

Skilled and professional doctor!

The care that Dr. Papas and his team provided was truly exceptional! They were compassionate and took time to understand my concerns. The procedure significantly reduced the pain in my neck area and as a result, I have much better quality of life. I am so appreciative to Dr. Papas and his team!

What consultation should be!

Dr. Papas made me feel like I'd come to the right place to discuss alternatives to hip replacement. This was everything a consultation should be.

Dr Papas Is Great

Dr. Papas is a great doctor. I am a chondrosarcoma cancer survivor with global hip precautions. He listens and provides excellent care for my special situation. He does excellent osteopathic manipulation and I wouldn't trust anyone else. Peace.

Like a new wrist.

For years now I've been experiencing pain and numbness that would come and go in my right hand. This was due to carpal tunnel. Dr Papas thought upon evaluation that he would be able to help me. While undergoing Regenexx treatment, both he and his staff were very understanding of my anxiety. It was comforting. The pain during treatment was minimal and there has been no pain, and minimal numbness, since treatment. He tempered my expectations immediately after the procedure and stated that it may take several weeks to feel the entire effects, but I would say the results have already met and exceeded those. I would not hesitate to see him again.
