SAME-DAY DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING
We utilize advanced in-office ultrasound and digital X-ray technology to provide immediate answers, eliminating the delays and uncertainty of external referrals. 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-COMPLIANT MEDICAL FACILITY
We maintain FDA-compliant standards throughout our facility, ensuring that all regenerative medicine procedures adhere to the most stringent safety and quality standards. At Paragon, we aim to consistently deliver the safest, most effective regenerative medicine treatments available to each patient we care for
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 spectrum of regenerative medicine treatments, including Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) processing, bone marrow aspirate concentration, and adipose-derived stem cell preparation. This delivers the highest quality biologics prepared fresh for superior treatment outcomes
