Scottsdale and Phoenix orthopaedic surgery practice offering stem cell and platelet-rich plasma injections alongside keyhole surgery of the hip, knee and shoulder.
This is the practice of Timothy Bert, MD, an orthopaedic surgeon working in the Phoenix area of Arizona with a stated focus on sports medicine and hip arthroscopy. Arthroscopy, sometimes called keyhole surgery, means operating inside a joint through small incisions using a camera.
The regenerative medicine part of the practice sits alongside surgery rather than replacing it. Three non-surgical injection options are listed: hyaluronates (a lubricating gel injected into a joint), platelet-rich plasma or PRP (a concentrate made by spinning down a sample of the patient's own blood), and stem cell therapy. Patients are usually assessed for these before surgery is considered.
One thing to be aware of when comparing providers: the page names stem cell therapy as a service but does not say where the stem cells come from, how they are collected or processed, or which conditions they are used for beyond general hip, knee and shoulder pain. If you are considering this treatment, those are reasonable questions to put to the practice directly.
The site names stem cell therapy but does not identify the cell source, which is unusual and worth asking about.
Two locations are given: the Arizona Sports Medicine Center at 8630 East Via de Ventura, Suite 201, Scottsdale, AZ 85258, and 2122 E Highland Ave, Suite 100, Phoenix, AZ 85054. The listing also associates the practice with Mesa. Opening hours, the year the practice was established, languages spoken and any international patient service are not published.
No prices or consultation fees are published. Cost for injections would need to be requested from the office.
