Ignatios A Papas, DO

I am one of the worst shoulder cases and thought there could not be any relief Dr Papas said things that gave me hope enough to try. I am so glad he did after 2 months I have improved more than I thought possible. Proof that there people that really care

life changing for myself and my family

Every visit has been a great experience. Dr. Papas does a through explanation of what the problem is and then explains exactly what to expect with treatment and what to expect with the outcome. Follow up appointments are always pleasant and educational.

I learned about Dr. Papas from a friend who had successful stem cell therapy 1 year ago for her torn meniscus. I only needed platlet therapy and I have improved dramatically in just 6 weeks. I am thrilled to have avoided surgery along with a probable knee replacement further down the line. I am walking well, attending physical therapy appointments and I expect that I will continue to improve in the coming months as I continue therapy,

Efficient, delivered a fine tuned explanation of my diagnose & I look forward to our next encounter.

Dr Pappas was outstanding; patient, knowledgeable, and willing to help. Utmost concern for the patient's well being and care most evident.

Entire team team was knowledgeable, efficient, friendly. And gave candid answers to questions without any fluff. Not inexpensive. I just completed me therapy last week. But if it works, I’ll be a happy camper. Regardless of outcome. I did my homework beforehand and none of the others I talked with matched the competency of this group.

Dr Papas was awesome explained everything in detail and what to expect. Results were amazing. I would recommend PRP to anyone with extreme pain. My quality of life and movement is not longer limited. If you are looking for relief from pain look into Regenexx and Dr Papas you'll be glad you did!!!!!!!!!!! Greatful for your service. Barbara Gray

Dr Papas was very thorough in his explanation regarding the procedure and in f/u he was very thorough in his explanation as to what he had done and the outcome.

Everyone involved were extremely professional and attentive understanding the issues I was having with significant pain, inability to walk and surgery as the only option. The Stem cell and PRP procedures have absolutely allowed me to regain my life style, avoid surgery and given a strong path to total elimination of foot joint pain. Would highly recommend this as an option if you have been told by others that surgery is the thing to do.

Very accurate and thorough !

I am so blessed to found Regenexx. Dr. Papas is so knowledgeable and even more he has the ability to explain everything to you clearly so you can understand what, when where and why. I also went to three other doctors before who clearly talk out of their a s s and it’s obvious because they could not explain in detail. He knows his stuff and I trust him completely. He is a regenerative medicine doctor- not an orthopedic pretending to deliver stem cells. 100% recommend him. I’m excited for the future.

Dr.Papas is an excellent and professional doctor. I loved his service and the medical team. Thanks for all your help.
Thanks to his great work my pain is gone.

Dr. Papas spent quality time with me to understand exactly what my issues were and to set clear expectations of going into the procedure. I've lived with consistent pain for almost 20 years and after 2 rounds of procedures (which were clearly explained that it may take more than 1 with my diagnosis) I've been living 100% pain free for over a year. I cannot thank Dr. Papas and his staff for getting me back on my feet and allowing me the opportunity to get back to living my life to the fullest.

Appreciate the time the entire staff spend to understand and work to resolve issues

I am a 93-yo man who injured his shoulder doing yard work. I was in pain but because of Covid I put off going to see anyone. Eventually I made an appt with an ortho. We tried Cortisone and PT, which were not much help.
I made an appt with Regenexx Tampa Bay. It was the best move I could have made. The receptionist, Karen and nurse, Ana, were both extremely nice. Dr. Papas is a nice young man who gave me a thorough exam that lasted over an hour, including x ray, ultrasound and diagnosis of a partially torn rotator cuff. I felt so reassured after consulting with him, with no rush he answered all of our questions. His recommendation was PRP (they draw blood, prep it in their lab, and reinject your shoulder. I had about 4 days of post procedure pain. During my course I was in contact with a very nice lady, Kim, my coordinator. Words cant describe how helpful she was. I am on the mend and getting back to normalcy. If you are contemplating surgery, talk to Regenexx first.

Dr. Papas and his team are the best. I never thought i would return to the level of health prior to my accident. I can do everything i want to, exercise, outdoor activities, yard work and with no pain.
I recommend him and this process to anyone that will listen.
Thank you for allowing me to get back to my life back.

I had hip pain,and was unable do my daily activity after six weeks from my treatment i am near pain and able walk pain free

Dr. Papas and his team exceeded my expectations. I came in with neck, back and shoulder issues from a previous car accident. He and his team thoroughly addressed all issues and concerns. The PRP injections and post treatment plans have helped me get back back to my daily life. I would highly recommend Dr. Papas with Regenexx Tampa Bay to everyone.

I had terrible pain in my left elbow for the last two years due to a fracture. I saw many Orthopedic specialists and had surgery, injections, and physical therapy, all with negative results. My pain was excruciating, causing me to lose the use of my arm and spend many sleepless nights.
After treatment with Dr.Papas my pain is 100% gone and I am sleeping fantastic, walk 5-7 miles a day, losing weight and feeling energetic. This has changed my life!!
