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.

Your Consultation Experience

Here's what your phone consultation will look like, how long to plan for, and what you can expect from the conversation.

Our Medical Philosophy

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.

Our Treatment Approach

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.

Regenerative Medicine Options

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.

Treatment Types Available:

  • Stem Cell Therapy - Using the body's master cells to support tissue regeneration
  • Exosome Therapy - Cell messengers that signal healing and reduce inflammation
  • PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) - Concentrating healing components from your own blood

What Patients Commonly Explore With Us

Primary Focus Areas: Joint Pain (Knee, Hip, Shoulder), Arthritis, Soft Tissue Injuries, Back/Spine

Our Technology Advantage

  • Advanced ultrasound-guided injection technology for precise treatment delivery
  • Partnership with FDA approved lab partners
Real Patient Experiences

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.

"I'd been on a waiting list for knee replacement for eight months. My daughter suggested I look into this before going under the knife."
Margaret, 67 — Chronic Knee Pain
"Six weeks after treatment, I noticed the stiffness easing. By four months, I was walking my dog again without stopping every few minutes. I decided to hold off on surgery while I monitored how I was feeling."
Improvement noted at 6 weeks, continued progress over 4 months. Individual results may vary.
"I coach my son's baseball team and I couldn't even demonstrate a throw anymore."
David, 54 — Shoulder Pain & Limited Mobility
"My orthopaedic surgeon said surgery, six months recovery. After regenerative treatment, it took patience — the first month I wasn't sure anything was happening. By month three, I was throwing batting practice again."
Progressive improvement over 3 months. Individual results may vary.
"Three years of back pain. I'd tried injections, physical therapy, even a back brace."
Susan, 61 — Chronic Lower Back Pain
"My GP was talking about spinal fusion. After my first regenerative treatment, I won't pretend it was instant — but by week eight, I was sleeping through the night for the first time in years. Four months later, I drove six hours to visit my grandchildren. I hadn't done that trip in two years."
Improvement noted at 8 weeks, continued progress over 4 months. Individual results may vary.

Understanding Treatment Outcomes

Regenerative medicine outcomes depend on many factors including:

  • Severity and type of condition
  • Patient age and overall health status
  • Previous treatments and surgical history
  • Adherence to post-treatment rehabilitation
  • Individual biological healing response

Realistic Timelines

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.

Preparing for Your Phone Consultation

What to Have Ready for Your Call

To maximize the value of your phone consultation, please have the following prepared:

  • A quiet, private space where you can speak freely for 30–45 minutes
  • Any recent imaging reports or summaries (MRI, X-rays, CT scans) — emailed to us in advance if possible
  • Complete list of current medications and supplements
  • Previous treatment records and physician reports
  • List of questions you'd like to discuss
  • A pen and notepad to take notes during the call

Send Your Records Ahead of Time

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.

Important Questions to Ask

Come prepared with questions specific to your condition:

  • Am I a good candidate for regenerative treatment?
  • Which specific treatment do you recommend?
  • What are realistic expectations for my condition?
  • How many treatments will I likely need?
  • What does the recovery and rehabilitation process involve?
  • Are there any activity restrictions after treatment?
  • How will you measure treatment success?
Frequently Asked Questions
How does a phone consultation work? Is it as thorough as an in-person visit?

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.

How do I know if I'm a candidate for regenerative medicine?

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.

Is regenerative medicine FDA approved?

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.

What's the success rate for regenerative medicine?

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.

How long do results last?

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.

Is regenerative medicine painful?

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.

Are there age restrictions?

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.

Will insurance cover my treatment?

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.

Can I combine regenerative medicine with other treatments?

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.

How soon can I return to activities?

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.

Investment in Your Health

Understanding Treatment Investment

Regenerative medicine represents an investment in your long-term health and quality of life. When comparing costs, consider the total value including:

Value Comparison Framework

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

Treatment Investment

$5,000 to $8,000 per joint

Pricing varies from case to case basis. Final price is determined after the case review.

Financing Options Available

We understand that investing in your health is a significant decision. We offer several financing options to make treatment accessible:

  • Partnership with Cherry and CareCredit
  • Flexible payment plans
  • HSA/FSA eligible expenses
  • Family payment plans for multiple treatments
  • Senior and veteran discounts available

Insurance Coverage

Most regenerative medicine treatments are not yet covered by standard insurance plans. However, some aspects of your care — including your consultation, imaging, and follow-up visits — may be covered depending on your plan. Our staff will verify your benefits and provide a clear cost breakdown before any treatment.

Your phone consultation includes a comprehensive medical evaluation, review of imaging studies, symptom assessment, and detailed discussion of treatment options. This investment in thorough evaluation ensures you receive appropriate care recommendations.

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.

No Guarantee of Results

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.
