SAME-DAY DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING
We utilize advanced in-office ultrasound and digital X-ray technology to provide immediate answers, which avoids the delay of an external referral in most cases. Real-time ultrasound shows detail MRI can’t match, while digital X-ray gives clear views of bones and joints—together enabling precise treatment planning
FDA-CLEARED PROCESSING SYSTEMS
Platelet and bone marrow concentration is performed in our own facility using FDA-cleared, single-use processing systems, under sterile technique. Your tissue is drawn, processed and returned in the same visit — nothing is sent to an outside lab, and nothing is stored.
THE OCELOT NANO ADVANTAGE
We offer the Ocelot Nano Procedure by Tendonova — a minimally invasive, in-office treatment developed at Georgia Tech to address chronic tendon pain. Using advanced nano-powered technology, it precisely targets and removes damaged tendon tissue, stimulating natural healing and long-term relief.
ON-SITE REGENERATIVE THERAPIES
Our facility is equipped for the full range of regenerative medicine treatments, including Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) processing, bone marrow aspirate concentration, and adipose tissue preparation. Biologics are prepared fresh in-office and injected during the same visit
