“So far so good. Dr Babaria did my very 1st neck prp, with local anesthetic, and it's been feeling great ever since. I have less pain, more range of motion and decreased neck stiffness. Herniated disc is not fun especially as time goes on. The point of prp is to heal, decrease inflammation & regenerate vs just slapping some BS steroid bandaid that ends up causing more damage. Very happy with his bedside manner, skill & eagerness to help his patients overall. Going in for my shoulder prp+stem cell next. I trust Dr. Babaria!”
