The Park Avenue flagship of Park Avenue Medicine & Surgery, a multi-site New York group offering regenerative orthopaedic injections, pain management and plastic surgery.
Park Avenue Medicine & Surgery is a multi-site group whose flagship office is at 993 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10028, on the Upper East Side. The group's own breakdown assigns plastic surgery and pain management to this address, with physical therapy and chiropractic at a second Upper East Side office on East 74th Street and ambulatory surgery at a third Manhattan address on Second Avenue.
The regenerative side of the practice is presented under the heading of a regenerative orthopaedics centre. The treatments listed are platelet rich plasma (PRP, prepared from a sample of the patient's own blood), stem cell therapy, hyaluronic acid injections, collagen patches, shock wave therapy, and two proprietary spinal disc procedures named VIA Disc and DiscSeel. The site describes these as alternatives to surgery but publishes no outcome data.
The group is more specific than many about where cells come from. It describes bone marrow aspirate concentrate drawn from the hip bone and then processed to concentrate cells and growth factors, and separately describes adult stem cells taken from the patient's own fat through a procedure it likens to liposuction. Both of these are autologous, meaning taken from the patient's own body; no donor or birth-tissue products are listed.
Conditions named across these pages include osteoarthritis, Achilles tendon injury, ankle cartilage lesions, bursitis, tendinitis, tennis and golfer's elbow, hip impingement and labral tears, knee cartilage injury, meniscus tears, plantar fasciitis, shoulder labral and rotator cuff tears, and a range of spinal problems. The one clinician named in connection with the service is Dr Karan Johar, and the site does not set out his qualifications or those of the other doctors who would treat a patient. No prices are published.
The conditions listed are mainly orthopaedic and spinal; the group also offers unrelated aesthetic and general medical services.
The site states that the cells it uses are taken from the patient's own body, either as bone marrow aspirate concentrate from the hip bone or as stem cells harvested from the patient's fat.
Very few clinicians are named for a group of this size, and the site does not say who would carry out a given procedure.
The flagship office is at 993 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10028, listed by the group for plastic surgery and pain management. Surgery in Manhattan is carried out at a separate ambulatory facility at 1210 Second Avenue, and physical therapy and chiropractic care at 159 East 74th Street, Suite 1R. The wider group lists offices in the Hamptons, the Bronx, Brooklyn, New Jersey, Miami and New Delhi, and offers telemedicine. A single telephone number, 212-371-8460, covers the group. The site does not publish opening hours, accreditation, or any information about where cell preparations are processed.
The site publishes no prices for stem cell therapy, platelet rich plasma or the spinal disc procedures, and gives no price range, insurance or financing information. A written quotation would need to be requested, and it is worth asking whether costs differ between the group's sites.
