Twenty-three years ago, I performed my first arthroscopic knee surgery. The patient was a 42-year-old marathon runner—let's call him Mike—who couldn't accept that his running days were over. Post-surgery, he developed scar tissue. Then came the second surgery. More complications. By the time I saw him for his third procedure, I realized we were just chasing our tails. That's when I started questioning everything I'd been taught about orthopedic medicine.

Mike's story wasn't unique. I'd see it play out week after week in my practice. Good people, active people, coming in desperate for solutions, and all I could offer was either "let's try physical therapy again" or "let's schedule you for surgery." Neither felt right anymore. There had to be something better—something between doing nothing and cutting people open.

SEE WHAT BIOLOGICAL MEDICINE CAN DO FOR YOU!

The Day Everything Changed

I'll never forget the conference in New York City where I first witnessed what biological medicine could really do. A colleague showed me imaging from a patient with a partial rotator cuff tear—the kind I'd normally send straight to surgery. Six months after treatment with concentrated biologics from the patient's own body, the follow-up MRI showed something I'd been told was impossible: actual tissue healing. Not just pain relief. Real, structural healing.

I spent the next two years diving deep into the science, training with pioneers in the field, and honestly, unlearning a lot of what I thought I knew. At Unicorn Bioscience, we've built something special. We're using your body's own healing mechanisms—concentrated and targeted—to actually repair damage, not just mask it.

Ready to See What True Healing Looks Like?

Modern biologic medicine is changing how we treat chronic pain and injury. Schedule a complimentary consultation to learn whether regenerative therapy at Unicorn Bioscience could help you avoid surgery and get back to living pain-free.

Let Me Be Straight With You

Here's what frustrates me about my own field: we've gotten too comfortable with "managing" conditions instead of fixing them. You tear your meniscus? Here's a surgery that removes the torn piece. Arthritis acting up? Let's inject some cortisone every few months until we eventually replace the joint. We treat your body like a car—just replacing parts when they wear out.

But your body isn't a machine. It's incredibly intelligent, constantly trying to heal itself. What we do at Unicorn Bioscience is simple in concept but revolutionary in practice: we take your body's own healing factors, concentrate them dramatically, and put them exactly where they're needed. No foreign substances. No synthetic materials. Just your biology, amplified.

What This Actually Means for You

I see patients every day who've been told surgery is their only option. Yesterday, I treated a teacher who couldn't write on the board anymore because of shoulder pain. Three orthopedic surgeons recommended surgery. Today, I got a text from a contractor I treated six months ago—he's back on job sites, climbing ladders, living his life. No surgery. No months of recovery.

We treat everything from knees that "bone on bone" (hate that phrase—it's rarely the whole story) to backs that have been "managed" with epidurals for years. Shoulders, hips, necks, even smaller joints like ankles and wrists that surgeons often struggle with. The key is precision. Using ultrasound or X-ray guidance, I can place healing biologics within millimeters of where they need to be. It's like the difference between watering your whole yard hoping to save one plant versus giving that specific plant exactly what it needs.

The Truth About Safety

Look, I get it. You've probably seen ads for miracle cures and overseas clinics promising the moon. That's not us. We operate right here in Texas, following every FDA guideline to the letter. Everything we do is backed by peer-reviewed research and performed in our certified facility. No shortcuts, no sketchy imported materials, no traveling to unregulated clinics.

I personally perform every injection because I've seen what happens when providers cut corners. This isn't a franchise operation where you get whoever's available. When you come to Unicorn Bioscience, you get me and my team who've dedicated our careers to perfecting these techniques.

Here's My Promise to You

I won't BS you. Not everyone is a candidate for what we do. Sometimes surgery really is the best option—and I'll tell you if that's the case. But if you're dealing with chronic pain, if you've been told surgery is your only option, or if you're just tired of band-aid solutions that don't actually fix anything, you owe it to yourself to explore this.

Come in for a complimentary consultation. No pressure, no sales pitch. Just an honest conversation about what's going on with your body and whether

our approach makes sense for you. We'll do a thorough evaluation, look at your imaging, and I'll give you my honest medical opinion—the same advice I'd give my own family.

Book your complimentary evaluation today. Let's see if we can get you back to living your life without surgery, without endless medications, and without accepting that pain is just part of getting older. Because it doesn't have to be.
