Understanding Your Advanced Non-Surgical Treatment Options
You've taken an important step toward exploring options beyond conventional symptom management. The phone consultation you've booked is a thorough, no-pressure conversation with Dr. Ajit Dhaliwal, designed to give you honest answers about your condition and what's realistically possible.
This guide is here to help you get the most out of that call. It covers what to expect, what to have ready, who you'll be speaking with, and answers to the questions we hear most often. Read through it before your consultation so you're prepared and confident.
We're looking forward to speaking with you.
Here's what your phone consultation will look like, how long to plan for, and what you can expect from the conversation.
Plan for approximately 30–45 minutes for your comprehensive phone consultation:
Detailed discussion of your symptoms, pain patterns, previous treatments, and health history.
Analysis of any MRI, X-rays, or other imaging studies and medical records you've shared in advance.
Guided questions about your range of motion, daily limitations, and pain levels to evaluate your condition over the phone.
If you're a potential candidate, detailed explanation of recommended treatment options, expected timelines, and outcomes.
Time to address your concerns and discuss next steps at your own pace. There's no obligation to make any decisions during your call.
Dr. Ajit Dhaliwal will only recommend treatment if he genuinely believes it can help your specific condition. If regenerative medicine isn't the right fit, Dr. Ajit Dhaliwal will tell you — and point you toward what is. This consultation is about giving you honest answers, not selling you a procedure. You'll end the call with clarity about your options, not pressure to make a decision on the spot.
Dr. Ajit Dhaliwal
Founder, Physician
Dr. Ajit Dhaliwal, Board Certified- American Board of Internal Medicine, brings 15 years of specialized experience in Regenerative Tissue Therapy. As a Founder, Physician, Dr. Ajit Dhaliwal is committed to providing evidence-informed regenerative treatments with the highest standards of medical care.
Unlike franchise clinics or non-physician providers, your care is overseen by a board-certified physician who:
At RegenHealth Physicians, we believe in transparent, evidence-based medicine. We will only recommend treatments that are appropriate for your specific condition, and we're committed to setting realistic expectations based on current research and clinical experience.
Most conventional pain treatments work by blocking signals — numbing, masking, or managing symptoms while the underlying damage continues. Regenerative medicine works differently. Instead of covering up pain, these treatments introduce biological signals that may support the body's own natural recovery processes.
We offer comprehensive regenerative treatments designed to match your specific condition and treatment goals. Our physician will evaluate your case and recommend the most appropriate therapy.
Primary Focus Areas: Joint Pain (Knee, Hip, Shoulder), Arthritis, Soft Tissue Injuries, Back/Spine
While every patient's experience is unique, these stories illustrate the potential outcomes our patients have achieved with regenerative medicine treatments.
The following experiences were shared by patients who completed a physician evaluation and were confirmed as candidates for treatment.
Regenerative medicine outcomes depend on many factors including:
In some cases, patients have noted changes within 4–8 weeks, with continued progress over 3–6 months, though timelines vary significantly by individual. Some patients may require multiple treatments or combination therapies for optimal results. Your physician will discuss realistic expectations based on your specific condition during consultation.
To maximize the value of your phone consultation, please have the following prepared:
To make the most of your consultation time, we encourage you to email or upload any imaging studies, medical records, or relevant reports before your scheduled call. This allows Dr. Ajit Dhaliwal to review your case in advance and provide you with more specific, informed guidance during the conversation.
Come prepared with questions specific to your condition:
Our phone consultations are comprehensive and structured to cover the same key areas as an in-person visit — medical history, symptom evaluation, imaging review, and treatment discussion. While a physical examination isn't possible over the phone, Dr. Ajit Dhaliwal uses detailed guided questions and your submitted imaging and records to make a thorough assessment. If an in-person examination is required before treatment, we'll schedule that as a next step.
Candidacy depends on your specific condition, severity of symptoms, previous treatments, overall health, and personal goals. Our physician will evaluate these factors during your consultation. Generally, good candidates have chronic joint or spine pain that hasn't responded well to conservative treatments and want to avoid or delay surgery.
The treatments we offer use donor-sourced biological material processed by FDA-registered tissue banks in accordance with federal HCT/P regulations (21 CFR Part 1271). These procedures have not been approved by the FDA for the treatment of any specific disease or condition. Your physician will explain the regulatory context and evidence base for any recommended treatment during your consultation.
Success rates vary significantly by condition, patient factors, and how success is defined. We'll discuss realistic expectations based on your specific situation and current research. Some patients experience dramatic improvement, others modest gains, and some don't respond significantly.
Results can be long-lasting, often 1–3 years or longer, though duration varies significantly by individual. These are not permanent cures, and some patients benefit from periodic maintenance treatments. Your physician will discuss realistic expectations based on your specific evaluation.
Most patients tolerate procedures well. We use local anesthesia for all injections. Some patients experience mild soreness or swelling for 24–48 hours after treatment, which typically resolves with rest and ice.
Age alone doesn't disqualify someone from treatment. We evaluate each patient's overall health, activity level, and healing capacity. We've evaluated and worked with patients from their 30s through their 80s.
Most insurance plans don't yet cover regenerative treatments. Some aspects of your care (consultation, imaging) may be covered. We'll verify your benefits and provide transparent pricing before any treatment.
Yes, regenerative treatments often work well in combination with physical therapy, medications, or other therapies. We'll coordinate with your other healthcare providers to ensure comprehensive care.
Most patients can return to light activities within 24–48 hours. We typically recommend avoiding high-impact activities for 1–2 weeks to allow optimal healing. Your specific restrictions will depend on your treatment and condition.
Regenerative medicine represents an investment in your long-term health and quality of life. When comparing costs, consider the total value including:
| Treatment Option | Initial Cost | Time Investment | Recovery Period | Long-term Considerations |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Conservative Care | Low | Months to Years | Ongoing | May Provide Temporary Relief |
| Surgery | High (+ complications) | Days/Weeks Off Work | 3–12 Months | Permanent Alterations, Risks |
| Regenerative Medicine | Moderate | Outpatient Procedures | Minimal Downtime | Supports Natural Recovery Processes |
$5,000 to $8,000 per joint
Pricing varies from case to case basis. Final price is determined after the case review.

Regenerative medicine treatments may not work for everyone, and results can vary significantly between patients. Success depends on many factors including your age, overall health, specific condition, severity of symptoms, previous treatments, and adherence to post-treatment care and rehabilitation.
While many patients experience meaningful improvement, we cannot and do not guarantee specific outcomes. Some patients may experience minimal or no improvement from treatment. Your physician will discuss realistic expectations based on your individual condition.
Regenerative treatments are regulated by the FDA. Certain applications continue to be studied for specific conditions. We'll clearly explain the evidence level and regulatory status for any recommended treatments during your consultation.
Regenerative medicine treatments are not cures for degenerative conditions. While they may slow progression and improve symptoms, underlying conditions like arthritis may continue to progress over time.
We encourage you to:
Treatment costs are typically due at the time of service unless other arrangements have been made. We'll provide complete cost information before any treatment begins. Payment plans and financing options are available for qualified patients.
