After having surgery for a supraspinatus tear in my rotator cuff, I hit a frustrating setback—lingering pain, stiffness, and slower-than-expected progress even months into physical therapy. I really didn’t want to go through another surgery, so I started looking into regenerative options and found Dr. Jorge Gonzalez at IROSM in Fort Lauderdale. He’s highly regarded for stem cell treatments, and I’m glad I went with him.Dr. Gonzalez was straightforward and thorough from the first visit. He reviewed my post-op MRI, explained how an ultrasound-guided stem cell + PRP injection could help promote better healing in the repaired tendon, and answered all my questions. The procedure was done right in the office, quick, and pretty much painless.The improvement has been significant. Within a few weeks the sharp pain started to ease, and over the next few months my strength and range of motion have come back much better than I was hoping for. It feels like real healing is happening, not just covering up the problem. Dr. Gonzalez and the whole team at IROSM were professional, caring, and focused on getting me better. If you’re dealing with a tough recovery after shoulder surgery, this is definitely worth considering. Highly recommend!
