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.

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. I guess it's goes against the grain. I add that hospitals and insurance companies are in the business of making money. Probably why they don't cover the treatment. I recommend you consult with the PRP clinic and get an evaluation and forecast. I recommend this treatment.

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 he says it works also !!!! They were very nice and professional

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.

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.

2023-09-23T01:27:55.424Z

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. 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.

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!

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.

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. I was able to cancel an upcoming MRI/surgery as well as cortisol injections. I realize that may be my particular situation but I have done my research and I believe in regenerative medicine and have personally experienced results. The quality of care I receive at Bend is truly exceptional!

2023-08-09T19:00:44.040Z

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.

I have had the best experience at BEND! I was completely blessed to find this place. Your health and support needs are served by people who believe in achieving the greatest good in patient outcomes above all else. That is uncommon today and it should be celebrated. I highly recommend this office. Expertise tied closely to people who really care and treat you with kindness. If you can’t run here - let them help you- you’ll probably be in a better position to do so later because of them.
