Kihei, Maui orthopaedic and sports medicine practice of Dr. Charles A. Soma, offering PRP, bone marrow concentrate and other orthobiologic treatments alongside general orthopaedic care.
North Shore Orthopedics is the orthopaedic practice of Dr. Charles A. Soma, MD, in Kihei on the island of Maui. Its website, orthohealingmaui.com, describes a general orthopaedic and sports medicine practice with on-site digital X-ray, ultrasound and waterproof casting, care for fractures and work-related injuries, and same-day evaluations with walk-in availability on most days. The site states that patients see Dr. Soma directly rather than a physician assistant or nurse for the primary evaluation.
Regenerative treatment is one part of the practice. The website lists platelet-rich plasma (PRP) prepared from the patient's own blood, and "selected orthobiologic treatment with stem cells" as cell-based and biologic therapies. Dr. Soma's biography names platelet-rich plasma, amniotic tissue grafts and bone marrow concentrate for arthritis treatment among his specialties, and the pricing page refers to PRP, stem cell and Wharton's Jelly treatments.
The site presents these as options within a broader non-surgical plan for selected joint, tendon and sports-related conditions. It states that not every patient or condition is a candidate, that results vary, that no biologic treatment should be presented as a cure, and that Dr. Soma discusses risks, costs and expected recovery before treatment.
The practice also offers CureWave high-intensity laser therapy, independent medical evaluations, a testosterone replacement and male wellness programme, and medical weight loss with semaglutide and tirzepatide. The website gives 30 E Lipoa St. #4-106 in Kihei as its new location.
The website names these orthobiologic sources. It does not say which product is used for which condition.
Dr. Soma trained in orthopaedic surgery at the University of Southern California (USC) after an internship at LA County USC Medical Center, then completed a sports medicine fellowship at Santa Monica Orthopedic Group focused on cartilage restoration and arthroscopic ligament reconstruction. According to the site he moved to Maui in 1998 to begin his orthopaedic practice.
The practice is at 30 E Lipoa St. #4-106, Kihei, HI 96753, telephone 808-242-0001, fax 808-244-6746, email orthohealingmaui@proton.me. The site describes same-day evaluations and walk-in availability on most days, and appointments can be requested online or by phone or text.
The website says pricing for PRP, stem cell and Wharton's Jelly treatments varies and asks patients to call for personalised pricing. It publishes prices for CureWave laser therapy: $125 for a single 15-minute treatment, or packages of 3 for $250, 6 for $450 and 12 for $700. The first laser treatment is offered free. The TRT and male wellness programme is listed at $250 a month, not including prescriptions, and semaglutide at $250 to $450 a month including prescriptions.
The practice lists HMAA, HMSA, BCBS, UHA, AlohaCare and HMSA Quest plans and workers' compensation as accepted insurance. Patients with other plans, including Medicare, are asked to contact the office about self-pay options. Insurance cover for regenerative treatments is not stated, so confirm it with the clinic and your insurer.
