This didn’t work at all. It may have made my ankle worse! It was more painful, than they advertise. Also, the doctor was cheap to give me a note for time off of work, or pain medicine.
I don’t recommend this procedure, nor the Indian doctor in West LA. He’s all about the $$$$

They Give you Procedures Without a Diagnosis
I received 6 PRP treatments. 4 hips, 1 neck, 1 lumbar. The procedures went well and I got some relief from them albeit very short lived. I would recommend them for an issue that you are sure of having. Be sure of the issue before you go because they will not diagnose you. They will give you the treatments if you want them without them diagnosing you.
My opinion of the physician ( Dr. Musman) changed drastically many months later. After the 6 procedures, he ordered a new MRI of both hips, my back and my neck.
I was having tremendous pain in my back, hips, legs, neck and arms despite finishing the PRP procedures. I sent the MRI to the doctor and the response was that I had a tendinosis tear in my hip. Thats all that was said, even after I expressed how painful the whole area was. Many months after he told me that, two new doctors looked at the same MRI and they diagnosed that I actually had two very badly rumptured discs in my back and bony growths and a bulging disc that brought back my neck pain. My pain had been very high since the Regennex doctor ordered the MRI and "looked" at it after all the PRP procedures. The PRP had no effect on my pain. In fact it got so much worse.
It was outrageous to me that this doctor did not even mention the possibility of any problems with my discs and that it could possibly have been the cause of years of pain that was only getting worse. The doctors who viewed the MRI much later ( as my pain became unbearable) said that the disc herniations were very obvious. The whole time I should have been treating my discs in my back. I was never thoroughly examined by Regennexx nor did they ask about or order an initial MRI of my back. I feel as if I would have know long long ago and perhaps saved myself A LOT of money if they had.
I believe I had the ruptured discs for a very long time. The possibilty was not ever mentioned.
I feel as if the Regennex doctors did not do a thorough job with any diagnoses that I needed desperately. It would have been very good to know what was really wrong with me before I continued to have 6 PRP procedures at the grand total of $14,000, plus hotel stays took the grand total to almost $18,000.
If an additional MRI of my back and neck was ordered initally, I most likely would have known what was wrong. The doctor recommeded a PRP procedure on my back and neck without an MRI or x ray to view. Isnt it the doctors job to get a more solid diagnosis before recommending expensive procedures?
I really wish I had known about my ruptured discs.
The Regennex headquarters will be receiving this review because I believe I ended up a misdiagnosed victim who put trust in the doctors and procedures and ended up much poorer and with nothing to show for it.
I dont believe the PRP procedures hurt me, but I believe they basically made money off me. I got absolutely nothing out of it and now I have the terrible problem of significantly ruptured discs, am out of work without pay and I dont know if I can improve my health.
Shame on them. Very negligent. Stay far far away.
I recently learned that Dr. Musman was closing his practice and moving to the south.
Convenient. I hope people get properly diagnosed BEFORE going to Regenexx. They will just give you the procedures and take your money. I was desperate for help and I feel very taken advantaged of. Now I need treatment and possibly surgery and am $18,000 poorer.

A BIG scam.
A BIG scam.
I had their stem cell treatment in the cayman islands 2 years ago for a lower back injury. It was around July or August 2017. Well, by February 2018 I was back at the exact same level of pain as before, but $40,000 poorer.
I also had their PRP treatments for a back injury and shoulder pain in Colorado and in the caymans a few months before and the results were “meh” at best. Save your money. Regenexx is not in the business of helping people. They are in the business of helping themselves to your bank account.

I had my Stem Cell procedure on my left knee...
I had my Stem Cell procedure done on May 2019 in Atlanta. The consultation was great. The orthopedic did a in-depth examination of my knee along with reviewing my MRI images. The process of a stem cell injection includes a pre-injection(2 days before) of prolotherapy and post-injection(2 days after) of PRP. It has been almost 5 months since my stem cell injection and my knee doesn’t feel any better. It’s a expensive procedure. I got my lateral meniscus partially removed and I was hoping stem cells would give me relief. I believe stem cells work for some but not all. It didn’t work for me unfortunately just like my surgery didn’t either. On a side note, I have noticed lots of fake reviews. Makes me question Regenexx true intentions which is $$$.

Went through the whole process!
Went through the whole process! Was told by Dr. Khan I should see 100% success. Started the procedure of injections first week of August 2018. 3 days later had the stem cells extraction from the back of my hips and re-injected later in the afternoon with a follow-up of blood platelets a few days later. Took ALL of the recommended vitamins and omega supplements that were recommended religiously! At 6 months and feeling little improvement, had 90 vials of blood drawn. Returned in the afternoon and had the platelets injected into both knees. February 2019, still experiencing pain, I went to an Orthopedic Dr. X rays showed NO NEW CARTILAGE GROWTH! In fact, the baker cysts, inflammation and bone deteriation had progressed NOT improved. After spending nearly $17,000.00 (Seventeen-Thousand Dollars..) and having nothing to show for it but continued pain...It all has been a VERY expensive with no-result experience...

Shifty Marketing
Less than one person per day typically does a rating on here. But the next 5-6 pages (all dated Aug 7th) were written within the last 14 hours, and all 5 stars?! And suddenly a whole lot more are all written on Aug. 14th? Now, most of the negative reviews are removed? Nice that you can "buy" your ratings! And talk ratings companies into having negative ones removed.
Does a marketing agent staying up late, entering all of these 5 stars on certain days of the month? Or is there a big discount that was just emailed out 14 hours ago to all patients willing to give 5 star reviews? The last I knew, your marketing staff and colleagues were creating a bunch of your stars on Google Reviews.
Your marketing is crooked. Poor ethics. And you are still robbing patients of their retirement savings. Your procedures are WAY overpriced. Your operation is way too rushed to be thorough. It's all about money now.
Response from RegenexxJun 23, 2026
Thank you for raising this. The occasional increase in reviews reflects that patients were recently invited to share their feedback. Those invitations go to actual patients and ask for their honest experience, whether positive or negative. The reviews are submitted directly by the reviewer through Trustpilot, not written by our marketing team. We believe transparent patient feedback is important, including when that feedback is critical.
