Testimonials
After dealing with a persistent injury, Dr. Matthias recommended PRP therapy as a nonsurgical option before considering surgery. My doctor’s thoroughness and genuine care made all the difference.

My doctor treated my torn Achilles tendon with a PRP injection instead of surgery, and the outcome was fantastic.

I had a PRP injection for my tennis elbow with incredible results, so I decided to get PRP for my torn rotator cuff as well.
