Bay Area hip and knee replacement surgeon whose practice also offers platelet-rich plasma and stem cell injections as non-surgical options for joint pain.
Robert E. Mayle, Jr., M.D. runs an orthopaedic practice in the San Francisco Bay Area, with three offices across San Francisco and San Rafael. He is a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon with fellowship training in hip and knee replacement, and the practice is built around those two joints.
The surgical services described include total hip replacement, total knee replacement, hip resurfacing, anterior-approach hip replacement, minimally invasive knee replacement, outpatient or rapid-recovery joint replacement, and knee arthroscopy. Alongside these, the practice describes non-operative options for hip and knee pain, including platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections, which are prepared from the patient's own blood, and what the site calls stem cell therapy.
An important gap for anyone researching cell treatment: the stem cell page does not state where the cells come from. There is no mention of bone marrow, fat tissue, umbilical cord tissue or exosomes, and no description of how the material is prepared. Ask the practice directly what product would be used, its source, and what evidence supports it for hip or knee arthritis before agreeing to treatment.
The site names stem cell therapy but does not say what the cells are or where they come from, which is a significant omission.
The practice lists three office locations in San Francisco and San Rafael, California. The website does not publish street-by-street opening hours, a founding year, languages spoken other than English, or any arrangements for patients travelling from other countries.
No prices are published. Neither the consultation fee nor the cost of platelet-rich plasma or stem cell injections is stated; injection treatments of this kind are commonly self-funded, so ask for a written quote.
