Dr Darrow's diagnosis was spot on. He truly knows medicine and has a wholistic approach to his patients' healing needs. My PRP treatment gave me great results within just 2 weeks. It was worth every penny! I was misdiagnosed previously by another orthopedic surgeon who tried traditional methods of healing which were ineffective and were getting my problem worse. I was also given steroids which side effects and long term damage in the body are simply bad. I'm grateful to God for the chance to meet Dr Darrow, receive his expertise and treatment. I am also grateful to my husband for booking my first appointment and convincing me to seek second opinion. Nonetheless, in addition to getting the right diagnosis which is the most important part of healing, I had the pleasure to meet Dr Darrow's staff. They all work as a family. The atmosphere in his office is positive. I could tell that the nurses and administrators like working there. That say a lot about the doctor and his work ethic. From check-in to accommodation during the exam and procedures, I was given the upmost respect and attention. Do not hesitate to receive a PRP treatment with Dr Darrow.

I had a knee injury 3.5 years ago while skiing. My initial MRI showed damage to my ACL and MCL. The damage to the ACL was so extensive that one of the radiologists thought that it was a complete tear. Although another doctor did comment there were still some intact ligaments. I had physical therapy but never followed up for surgery. A few months ago, I decided to try stem cell therapy because I continued to have pain after jogging. In fact, I had pain in both knees, but more so on the damaged knee. I found Dr. Darrow and decided to have stem cell treatment in both knees. I was initially skeptical of the outcomes. After one week of stem cell treatment, I felt a clear difference. There was virtually no pain after running. After one month of the stem cell injection, I decided to have another MRI. I was extremely surprised when my orthopedic surgeon informed me that there is no tear in the ACL and only noticed a chip in my bone on the medial side, which was damaged initially as a result of the accident. Essentially, I am now a believer in stem cell therapy. Dr. Darrow did a great job. I hope those looking for surgery consider this option first. Yes, stem cell overall is a little expensive. But it was well worth it for me. On a side note, I enjoyed Dr. Darrow's very zen essence!

Just over two years ago I started suffering from a lot of pain in my hip, enough that I was afraid it would force me into early retirement. Two orthopedic surgeons wanted to schedule me for hip replacement immediately. I am in my early 50's, very active, and reluctant to jump into such drastic action without trying some alternatives. I found Dr. Darrow and, over the course of a year or so, I got several PRP injections. The improvement has been remarkable! No, it's not back to 100%, nor would I expect it to be from PRP or replacement. But it's at about 85-90%, far better than I had expected given the pain I started with. I am able to do the activities that I want with almost no pain. I am so happy I found Dr. Darrow and tried PRP first, he and his staff have been fantastic.

I have been being treated by Dr Darrow and associates for 25 years to mitigate chronic injury and when I have re injured myself. I was a professional athlete with multiple injuries. I have been thrilled and deeply grateful for Dr Darrow’s effective cutting edge techniques. Also his presence I can only describe as having a healing quality, in and of itself. As to results, I had terrible neck pain from an almost fatal accident. I did PRP and other treatments and got great results. The office staff is friendly and excellent too. Special shout out to Jeff, the best phlebotomist on the planet I am convinced and Christina, always friendly and excellent. Dr Darrow is the real deal, very studied, with a great balance of pushing the boundaries of healing with exquisite attention to safety and efficacy.

We do not take medical insurance. There are cases where Worker's Comp pays or insurance from injuries pay. Our patients pay us directly and then might be able to collect, but not from health insurance or Medicare.

Yes, I distinctly heard the doctor state over the AIR, that his office does accept the Care Credit card; this is simply another type of credit card meant solely for medical and veterinary services.
