“Thank you for making true and tangible impact in my life and the lives of all your clients. I’m so grateful to have made your acquaintance and cannot wait to begin taking even more of my life and mobility back and kicking the meds to the curb!  I can’t wait to refer everyone I know to you!” ~ Pam E.

“Dr. Santa Ana was an answer to a prayer. I had been rejected from spine surgery (rods and screws and such) due to bad reactions t opioids and similar pain medication. Desperate to be out of pain from sciatica and arthritis in my back, my wife turned to the internet and searched “alternative medicine for back pain”. The first one to come up was the Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine. My wife called and we got an appointment right away.”

“We were amazed at how thorough the explanation of the recommended procedure was. I knew just what would happen and what I was agreeing to. And we were hopeful about the outcome due to how minimally invasive it would be. The atmosphere at the time of the procedure was supportive and calming. Everything went well, and afterward, I was in less pain than before. Don’t get me wrong, there was still noticeable pain, to begin with, but as the days went by, there was less and less. Then, as Dr. Santa Ana had predicted, one day, after only a few months, I woke up pain free.”

“For awhile after that, if I over-extended myself, I’d have some pain, but by following Dr. Santa Ana’s and the physical therapist’s suggestions that was soon taken care of. I recommend Dr. Santa Ana and the Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine to everyone who asks about my new-found ease of mobility.” ~ Steve G.

“Hey, Dr. Nabity! You probably only hear from most of your patients (myself included) when something goes wrong. Not too long ago, I was in your office in near tears because I could barely walk let alone swing a golf club. I was depressed at the thought of never being able to play high-level golf again, let alone any kind of golf.
I had let some significant collegiate opportunity and talent go to waste in my more serious playing days and bailed out to settle into a mortgage career at 22.
13 years later and experiencing excruciating back issues, I felt I would never get a chance to redeem myself and let go of that emotional weight I carried. I had persistent feelings of regret on top of my constant physical pain reminding me every day that my golf dreams are gone forever.“

“Now 3 years later and 2 years from our back and neck procedures, not just have I started to golf again, but I have been able to work extremely hard on my game and recently earned my PGA Professional card. I am swinging the golf club freely with little to no pain on a regular basis.”  

“I am now in the process of a career change to a general manager/professional golf instructor of a golf practice facility, in addition to getting my game to a level where I should be able to enter PGA events very soon. This is a dream come true and then some because it is something I truly thought was gone forever.  I owe you more than you know. Thank you.“

“Dr. Nabity was recommended to me after shoulder surgery did not make my pain completely disappear. Now in my mid-forties and having been a life-long tennis player, I was not sure to ever go back to my younger form. Scheduling an appointment was easy and an ultrasound was taken at my first visit. Dr. Nabity confirmed that he felt confident that this procedure would address the pain I had. Unfortunately, the procedure is still considered experimental and not covered by any insurance. Yes, it is expensive and to be honest quite painful, but completely worth it, in my opinion. After a few weeks of recovery, I was back playing tennis, and the pain/tightness slowly disappeared. I am 100% pain-free today, and not far from the way my shoulder felt in my 20s. Thank you Dr. Nabity and your staff for helping me feel the joy of tennis again!” ~ Guillaume

“My parents and I highly recommend this facility if you are looking into restoring quality of health through stem cells. My dad has been experiencing much pain and discomfort from Spinal Stenosis. I had been doing some research on how I could help him out and came across this Center online, reading the many fabulous reviews from people all over the world, so I decided to book a consultation. The staff are incredibly kind and attentive, their response times are super quick too! Long story short, my dad only recently had his own stem cells extracted and infused through the area of his spine where the Spinal Stenosis is located…all this was done by Dr. Santa Ana. This doctor is very professional, using layman’s terms and taking his time with my parents to fully explain everything, and in answering all our questions! Though the procedure was just done, my dad is already feeling better than he ever had. Thank you to Dr Santa Ana and his wonderful staff for everything! We live in Windsor, Ontario and so we consider ourselves to be so lucky to live in a border city where we have the opportunity to commute a reasonable distance to be able to take advantage of areas in healthcare that we do not have readily available here.” ~ Rosanna

“3 months after my first treatment I noticed significant hair regrowth and after about 6 months the results have been amazing. I’ve had quite a few friends ask me what I did, and I’ve happily referred them on to Dr. Nabity. Thank you so much.” – Evelyn

“I am a Physical Therapist who has worked with Dr Nabity professionally for 6 years. Dr Nabity is a compassionate physician who listens to his clients’ goals and symptoms and strives to return his clients to wellness while minimizing the use of treatments such as cortisone and prescriptions medications which only mask the symptoms. I have provided Physical Therapy to clients of Dr Nabity who have received PRP injections for SI pain, lumbar disc disease and cervical whiplash injuries. These patients have experienced not only a reduction in pain but have achieved a higher level of function post PRP injections and Physical Therapy. Based on the skilled treatment and positive outcomes I have witnessed from Dr Nabity, I would refer my own friends and family to him for care.” – Jodi Fischer, MPT

“After a series of facet and nerve blocking without feeling much improvement, I was referred to Dr. Nabity, who was very caring and supportive. I’ve been seeing Dr. Nabity for over a year and a half. I was suffering from very bad chronic pain after my car accident. He is one of the best doctors I have been to. He listens to the issues I have and works out a plan with me. He takes the time to explain what is going on and helps me understand. He also has a great sense of humor. He recommended the PRP (platelet rich plasma) injections. After the first sets of injections I was able to feel the improvement. I have done the PRP injections 3 times so far and it’s been helpful. I’m very happy with his care and concern for my well-being. I would highly recommend Dr. Nabity.” – Rosanna K. Sterling Heights, MI

“I have degenerative arthritis of the spine, which is very debilitating and painful. Prior to having the my stem cell transplant I was in excruciating pain unable to get up or down from the pain. I was taking Vicodin to the point it scared me but at least I was able to stand the pain. I tried ever kind of treatment that was offered, but all were short term relief. I had the stem cell procedure 10 months ago, it was painful for the first couple of days which was explained to me in detail prior to the procedure by Dr Nabity. A couple of days after the procedure the pain started to go away and I continued to feel better. I am now pain free for the first time in years. Dr Nabity answered every question/concerns I had prior to the procedure in detail. I am now able to be active like I used to be, no medication needed. Thanks to Dr Thomas Nabity who is a passionate, kind and considerate doctor and always willing to helping others. I would also like to say that any concern you have will be answer by him not his staff. If you leave a message for him he always calls you back himself. At 68 years old I feel 20 years younger.” – Connie H. New Baltimore, MI

“In my late 30’s I started to notice a gradual hair loss that accelerated in my early 40’s. I looked into different transplant techniques and all seemed fairly invasive and expensive. I thought I’d give PRP a try because the science made sense to me and the cost was a fraction of other treatments. 3 months after my first treatment I noticed significant regrowth and after about 6 months the results have been amazing. I’ve had quite a few friends ask me what I did, and I’ve happily referred them on to Dr. Nabity. He explained everything in detail and comforting in his approach.” – Scott Rockford, IL

“The treatment that I received from Dr. Nabity was life changing. I am a member in the military and due to a back injury that I sustained in the military. I was presented with the choice to either have back surgery or get out of the military. Dr. Nabity treated my back with Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy and results have been amazing. My disc herniation’s have decreased to half the size and I am able to work out and run again. I have since been able to stay in the military continue to serve. I could not hold Dr. Nabity in higher regards he literally saved my career and increased my quality of life tenfold.” – Nick Port Huron, MI

“As a gym owner and fitness professional with an injury to my lower back, I spent a lot of time searching for someone that I trusted. I had been to several doctors, done physical therapy, and done some alternative therapy methods.I used to have extreme nerve pain in my SI joint, that shot through me making me break out in a sweat. Being someone that understands body mechanics and mobility, I knew that just pain meds, or more PT were not going to make a difference.

Dr. Nabity first correctly diagnosed my issue with the right tests. He genuinely felt bad that I was in pain. Most doctors would immediately offer pain medication with horrible side effects…he did not. He wanted to get to the “root” of the problem, and that’s when I knew that he was the right Dr. He discussed options with me, on what he thought was the right course of action.

He recommended PRP injections, which I was familiar with. I had researched and read, that many athletes had used this technique with great success. Dr. Nabity thought that I would be a good candidate. I did one injection as planned, and although I did not feel 100% better at the 8 week check up, was feeling VERY much better after 10 weeks. This injury was years old, and I probably should have done this type of injection much earlier. I would highly recommend Dr. Nabity for any type of nerve pain, or injury where pain is ongoing. He, along with his staff that assisted him during the procedure ,were very caring about my comfort levels.

He checked up on me soon after the injection, and was notably concerned about my pain levels and well being. I would consider Dr. Nabity at the top of the list of cutting edge treatments, a caring bedside manner, and someone that I would recommend to anyone that I care about.” – Dawn Novi, MI

“I have been suffering from IT band syndrome and glut tendinitis for quite sometime. Had done therapy, intramuscular stimulation, lidocaine injections, but none had helped. I was so frustrated and would do anything to help my ongoing pains. I heard about Dr. Nabity, and did not hesitate to try the PRP treatment.

I live in Ontario and drove across the border to get this treatment done and I did the right thing. Dr. Nabity and his staff took an exceptional care of me. The professionalism, the bedside manners and the great personality of Dr. Nabity are ways beyond description. I do not have pain any more and will always consult this great physician if I have pain. Thank you Dr. Nabity.” – Anwar London, Ontario
