I was told by a orthopedic surgeon that I needed surgery for a tear in my meniscus, fortunately I found Dr. Farhat at regenerative medicine. I recieved PRP and almost immediately the pain started to go away. This is the future of medicine.
Lise S.
Dr. Robert Farhat is extremely professional, educational & most of all cares about his patients. I went there for a tear in my shoulder, had platelet replacement therapy/surgery. (I had struggled for 6 months before this, going to PT, etc. no luck,
and I did not want regular surgery.)
I am back to lifting weights as prior to my injury, hiking etc. I am a True believer in this type of medical procedure!
T B.
Dr Farhat is the best when it comes to pain management. He is a doctor that actually listens and he truly cares about his patients. The staff goes above and beyond to help. Excellent medical team. I highly recommend!
Judith S.
Dr. Nabity is awesome! He spent over an hour with my husband and me going over my MRI’s for hip issues and all other information. He explained everything about PRP and answered all my questions. While we were there, he even checked out my husband’s hip problem too and gave him suggestions as well. I am very pleased with the plan of action we chose together. Looking forward to healing!!
Mary S.
Dr. Nabity is easy to talk to and helps a lot with his procedures. I had PRP on my Right shoulder for tear in my rotator cuff. My shoulder is feeling 99% better. Only when I over do it do I have some discomfort.Grateful that I didn’t have surgery & saw Dr Nabity.

James G.
This is only a review for the first consultation. I met with Dr. Santa Anna and I was very impressed with his ability to explain my options after looking at my previous MRI's and also doing ultra sound on my shoulder. I did not feel any pressure and he gave me multiple options with his opinion on what would be the best option. I have not gotten any procedures yet and will update after I do. This is for those that might be nervous about going here for their first consultation.

I have been seeing Dr. Farhat for almost 5 or six years now. Was in an auto accident that has given me problems which led to five surgeries over the last six years. He is one of the only people that I believe that has helped my pain from my back and from my neck. He joined a wonderful group of doctors that I had seen before and I would have nothing but good things to say about every single one of them and highly recommend any of these physicians to anybody that needs care to get out of the ailment’s they have. You should have every bit of confidence in the care that they provide. They have put the care back in healthcare that has been so deeply diminishing with our insurance companies. See these guys first before you do any major surgery!

Thank you doctor Farhat! Before visiting the Michigan Center For Regenerative Medicine. I had been dealing with a herniated disc for over a year. At times it was debilitating, and made doing most things unbearable. I am 4 weeks post stem cell and PRP injections and the difference I feel is unbelievable. My back pain is gone and I feel amazing! I am so thankful to have gone to the Michigan Center For Regenerative Medicine. It is 100% worth it.

I saw Dr Nabity for an ankle issue I had been dealing with for a year. Dr Nabity was very personable and really listened to me about my issue. He then offered a solution and explained why this he suggested this particular solution. 3 months after the procedure I’m having great improvements and am well on the way to full recovery.

I’m grateful for the care and attention I received by Dr Farhat and his staff pertaining to an auto accident injury I sustained. He was extremely helpful in my recovery! I did not feel pressured into anything and everything was explained to me in detail so I knew what to expect. I received a PRP procedure on my neck and EMP. He also helped coordinate with other doctors to make sure I got the help I needed. He went above and beyond and for that I am truly grateful and highly reccomend this practice to others. 5 stars! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

I am very happy with my stem cell therapy. I can now walk without a limp most days and it's only been 12 weeks. I would and do recommend this office and procedure to everyone.

They did an excellent review of my symptoms to determine the best treatment plan for me, which resulted in a great outcome! No high pressure sales, just first class medical consultation to assist with making my own choices!

Dr. Farhat and his team are fantastic! After he helped me through resolving some lower back pain last year, I returned this spring for PRP in both knees. This procedure greatly improved my everyday activities: getting up from a chair, getting in and out of a car, and so much more! An added bonus is that I had been taking pain reliever once or twice a week for achey knees, but I haven't needed it even once since. A total win!

I had been suffering with a lumbar herniated disc for two years and did not want pain injections when I saw Dr. Nabity. After reviewing my MRI he told me I would be a candidate for stem cell injections. He explained everything and I had the procedure. It has been 3 months and my pain has reduced and my mobility has increased. I would highly recommend Dr. Nabity and MCRM.

I highly recommend Dr Santos and Dr Farhat. We've had two issues in our family, my husband had debilitating arthritis and Dr Santos did a stem cell procedure a few years ago, it saved my husband's life. His pain was so severe and crippling, he was walking with a cane, it would take him 10 minutes to be able to get out of bed, even riding in a car would cause him excruciating pain. Within months of the procedure, he was able to start walking without a cane and his back continued to improve. He even went sky diving about a year later. We took my son here to see Dr Farhat about peripheral neuropathy. Dr Farhat had a great bedside manner. He took the time to talk to my son and exam him. Unfortunately a stem cell procedure is not an option to help with neuropathy, but he prescribed mediation that has taken away the severe pain he was experiencing. Other doctors we saw didn't take the time and just wrote my son off. Just after a couple of weeks on the medication, my son's pain is nearly gone. I can't thank the doctors enough for how much they have helped our family.

I highly recommend this clinic! I'm Canadian, and went there for prolotherapy injections for tailbone pain and knee hypermobility. Doctor Santa Ana was thorough, heard me out and even adjusted his treatment plan to target a particular ligament, as I requested. I have found the treatment very helpful and my pain is much much improved. Dr. Santa Ana went above and beyond . Thank you so much!

It has been 3 months since I had my bone marrow/PRF & PRP treatments. I had my left knee, both hips and L-3,4,5 transplant-injections. Before treatment my pain level was unbearable. I couldn’t get through a day or night without pain. I couldn’t sleep on my side (hips), my knee woke me up many times each night. I tried Physical Therapy twice, acupuncture and was told to try cortisol shots. I did not want to just have a temporary solution, if that would have helped at all. I do not have any pain in my knee now. My hips and back pain is a One to Two on the pain scale now because I now can exercise twice a day for 20-30 minutes. The procedure was not painful at all. I am thankful for the Doctors and Nurses at the Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine. My body is only three months into this journey of healing, I will continue to heal and improve over the next three months. Many thanks Dr. SantaAna.

After years of enduring excruciating pain and sleepless nights, I found relief at the Michigan Center For Regenerative Medicine. Chronic back and shoulder discomfort had taken a toll on my well-being, leaving me fatigued and irritable. My family even nicknamed me "Shrek" due to my constant agony. However, thanks to the expert care I received at the center, I've experienced a remarkable transformation. Following treatment for my back and shoulder, I am now able to lift my arm over my head—a simple task that had eluded me for years. Today, I am no longer plagued by pain and misery, and I finally find myself living a life filled with happiness and comfort. (from Tom Lints)

I was having serious SI joint flares for a few months and was having a hard time working because of the pain and inability to walk very well. I then started physical therapy but was not able to do my exercises very well because of the pain. I heard about PRP and contacted the Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine. I was able to get PRP done the next week and it was a life saver! I truly thought I was never going to be the same again. All the staff and Doctor Santa Ana were super kind and helpful during the procedure. I felt better right away and have not had a flare since the procedure. I am so thankful and recommend this to anyone with severe pain!

Dr Nabity takes the time needed to explain procedures and answer questions and concerns. The procedure went well and my bodies response has been a success. The pain I had is effectively gone. This has been a really great experience.
