They were able to answer all my questions.knee injections10 daysago. At first I didn't think it would work but pain is less each day and am told it takes 2 months full effect . however I'm off all.pain medications already first time in a year.i guess next 6 weeks will tell. I did put my feb knee surgery on hold
Several years ago I was involved in a motor vehicle accident in which I sustained several serious injuries. One of those was to my spine resulting in spinal surgery involving baskets, bone transplant, rod and screws. The surgeon said he would only be able to reduce my pain by about 50 to 70 percent. The lesser was accomplished. For the past 20 years I had lived with going to different forms of P... More
Several years ago I was involved in a motor vehicle accident in which I sustained several serious injuries. One of those was to my spine resulting in spinal surgery involving baskets, bone transplant, rod and screws. The surgeon said he would only be able to reduce my pain by about 50 to 70 percent. The lesser was accomplished. For the past 20 years I had lived with going to different forms of PT, medication and much decreased activity and lying down frequently. Then I attended one of James seminars on stem cell therapy. Being a nurse I had heard of it but was relatively unfamiliar with the procedure. After listening to him and doing my own research, I decided to give him a call. I made an appointment and went in for an evaluation. He felt the stem cells would help me. I received the injections the same day. It was a slow process of improvement. Which I really didn’t notice for quite a while. About 10 months later, I realized I was not lying down as much as I had been. I was doing much more and experiencing a lot less pain. I am able to lead the active life I do because of what James has done for me. I could never thank him enough. The quality of my life has improved drastically because he cares about people and truly wants to help them. He definitely continues to accomplishes that goal. Less
Interesting experience. I am a show me kind of guy. I read and research any topic and / or product before buying in. Platelet Rich Plasma or PRP treatment was not promoted by my orthopedic surgeon.

Very professional. They explained everything during my visit. I was very comfortable with how the visit progressed. I would not hesitate to go back for future treatments or to recommend them to others. It was a very positive experience. They also followed up to check on my progress and to ask if I had any further questions.
I went to the seminar with a skeptical attitude, so I went to the free consultation and for $800 I said, let me give it a whirl, they did both my shoulders, and the next day I felt better already! I hope it keeps improving over time! Also, I talked to how long Dr Eye played pickle ball with and he said that it works on sports industries then that afternoon in the pool I talk to a chiropractor and... More

I had an awesome experience at BEND getting the PRP facial aka Vampire Facial. Lena (sp?) did an amazing job of explaining exactly how it worked and what she was doing during the process. I felt like the entire staff truly cared about me and my experience. I had no down time and my skin looks great. Thanks, James and Lena!! I’ll be back soon for round 2!
I am confident in the professionals at Bend. They carefully listened to my needs and created x-rays of the bone in the areas of pain. Reviewed the x-rays which clearly showed the areas of concern.

The treatment prescribed was carefully explained and then scheduled. They answered all of my questions. Each procedure was explained and I was talked through each one. Even though one of the five shots was uncomfortable, they ensured that I was as comfortable as possible, giving me a break when needed. I immediately felt relief and am now beginning my rehab for the next couple of weeks. I am very excited and grateful. Less
Awesome staff. Kind, caring and knowledgeable
Very good experience! Professional staff. Would highly recommend Bend!!
A big thank you to James and Layna at Bend, I herniated my disk between L3- L4 about 15yrs ago and periodically re-injure it. Went in for my first PRP injection today and I am already feeling better. They made the process simple and streamed lined. Their knowledge on the subject definitely put me at ease. Thanks again!
James has definitely helped with my mobility. Could not walk more than 50 or 60 feet without having to stop. Now I am much more mobile, able to walk much longer distances. This is a great option. Ronald Ackerman
Mary Ann Ackerman Unfortunately you can’t stop the aging process. BEND is here to help us cope with it. James has done my back and left hip. There is a definite improvement. I no longer have the sciatic pain nor all the pain going down my legs. Now I am having my right hip done rather than go through surgery. Can’t wait till I can get back to my old self.
James, Kevin and staff where very informative with their explanations of the procedures and performance. They provide ongoing follow-up post treatment. I highly recommend their services.
James and his staff at BEND are top-notch. A very knowledgeable and caring practice. I highly recommend BEND for all of your joint pain needs.
I have been to physical therapy and to a chiropractor for my hip pain which I was always told it’s a muscle issue and it will heal. Well I went to Bend and the Dr Stansey knew knew it was more than that. He said muscles don’t last this long (4 months). He took x ray and ultra sound and found I was missing cartilage in my hip socket. He showed me in black and white it’s not muscle it’s bone. S... More
I have been to physical therapy and to a chiropractor for my hip pain which I was always told it’s a muscle issue and it will heal. Well I went to Bend and the Dr Stansey knew knew it was more than that. He said muscles don’t last this long (4 months). He took x ray and ultra sound and found I was missing cartilage in my hip socket. He showed me in black and white it’s not muscle it’s bone. So for 4 months I was limping walking bone on bone in pain while the other drs said just come in for cortisone shots (which makes your bones and muscle worse). I did one procedure on my hip. I’m no longer in pain and healing after all these months. I would recommend Dr Stansey and his knowledgeable staff. No one in all these months took the time to really find out what was wrong. I’m in The Villages and was so frustrated until I came here. Go to their seminars listen to their way of healing you. It’s new but it works. Athletes go back on the field after being injured utilizing this method of cure. I would give them 100 stars if I could. Less

James Epolito and the team at BEND deliver the highest levels of expertise, experience, and wisdom in overall wellness. I traveled from out-of-state to receive treatment at BEND. I have years of experience trusting James with my health. James' servant mentality and authentic approach are unmatched. I received sound wave therapy on my knee and was overwhelmed by the improvement in my mobility. I am very active and this treatment allowed me to get back to my routine quickly. I'm looking forward to more sound wave therapy treatments in addition to Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy. I finally have a health care provider who delivers results and truly cares about my well-being. BEND is an absolute blessing! Less

James and Kevin (Dr.) are the most knowledgable, engaging and competent people I have met. I’ve had my left knee, shoulder and both hips injected with PRP. Amazing results I can do squats again! — and so great to have the x-rays explained to me - healing with no surgery! There is great communication between the patient & Dr. relationship - I speak freely and opening - so refreshing! Platelets in your blood contain growth factors. Scientist believe that injection PRP growth factors from your own blood into an injured arm will help tissues repair themselves by causing new cells to form. PRP can help you reverse existing tissues damage. WHERE else can you get this hope? They offer a wide range of knowledge - I am getting my blood tested next for deficiencies. Ton of positive information on the Internet - please take care of yourself - and get out of pain by trying this procedure. We spend lots of money of many other things that can’t give us the health and well being that this offers. Best choice I ever made. Less
I am so grateful to have found Bend, Dr. Stasney and James Epolito. Finally, I am being treated as a whole person and not having my body, hips, shoulders, back etc. divided up amongst doctors.

There's no option to give it 10 out of 5 stars so I will just have to settle for 5 out of 5 but mark my words its worthy of more. you cant put a price on being able to walk and work without pain. plus james is a pretty good guy. they're nice enough you almost want too injure something just so you have a reason to go back and see them.

Very informative Great people
Loved both of the guys. They were very nice and very very knowledgeable.
I am so thankful I trusted my health with Bend- Joint Health Fast. Their expertise in regenerative therapy has relieved pain in my hip and back. I attended their seminar and knew James and Dr. Kevin could heal my body. Our consultation relieved my anxieties and I proceeded with therapy.
My joint consultation was very comprehensive, not hurried, very informative as to the options available to correct or improve my joints.
BEND.....LEARN THat name. . . IF - you can't walk and you want to walk . Last week I couldn't walk. I needed a hip operation this week after bend not. Only am I walking but I'm playing again. ... So far a week into this thing. I'm walking. I'm playing golf. I went on a tube ride down the river this morning impossible impossible. Yet I am here to tell you that I did it.
Extremely thorough and professional. Advised on general health opportunities too beyond the specifics I came for. I haven’t yet done the treatment (pending other medical steps) but am confident in my decision to do there when I can.

Feel no pain right after the first treatment
These guys are great! Friendly, knowledgeable & genuinely care about people experiencing long term healing. 100% recommend!!

The sound wave therapy is amazing. I look forward to every treatment. James is so gentle always being mindful of the people he cares for. I have been suffering from neuropathy in both feet for a number of years now and have found very little relief. However, the sound wave treatment on my feet brings new life. Not only does it make my feet feel so much better by reducing the daily discomfort, I've also noticed I have an overall feeling of wellness in my body. It gives me a euphoric kind of energy and yet I was able to sleep. I feel awakened after the treatment's. I am grateful for this incredible machine. Thank you James, thank you thank you thank you!

The staff at Bend was great. Dr. Kevin was good, personable, knowledgeable, friendly and easy to talk to. I had been looking for some one near the Villages for treatment of my knee. I'm glad I found Bend and team. It was a good experience, I feel like every detail was covered and explained. I'll be back.
Bend’s goal is to do whatever they can do to help their patients improve their life using many different and state of the art methods. The customer comes first.
