I went to Doctor Abbasi after going to physical therapy for 30 sessions for a medial meniscus tear. The physical therapy definitely helped build strength but still had reduced range of motion and pain for my sport activity which is dancing (ballet, jazz). I wanted to give physical therapy a chance before considering PRP. After speaking with Dr Abbasi who is expertly knowledgeable, I decided to do my first round of PRP. It truly was a breeze, thanks to his medical assistants Karla and Kayla who assisted. Doctor Abassi is a pro at doing PRP. For me, it was as easy as getting a flu shot.. I went back a month later for follow up and concluded my improvement was about 50 to 60% better for pain and overall mobility. I can now sit down in a squat position with both knees to put on my dog’s leash as well as do some yoga movements which I could not do before like a yogi squat. I also have more mobility in my affected knee during dance classes. Dr. Abassi explained that a second round of PRP would likely benefit based on the many patients he has seen and also his own personal experience with PRP. Although there are no guarantees, I feel that it’s worth it in the long run for my quality of life and being able to continue my passion for dance In my retirement. I had my second PRP today and hoping for even more improvement.The office is impeccable and the staff caring and competent. Worth looking into especially if your injury is holding you back from what you love to do or affecting daily routine.

Knee Pain
Comprehensive evaluation and treatment of knee injuries, from conservative care to arthroscopic surgery.
Knee Injury Treatment
The knee is the largest joint in the body, balancing stability with the range of motion needed to walk, climb stairs, pivot and run. When knee pain or an injury limits that movement, even everyday activities become difficult. At PRIME Orthopedics & Regenerative Center, Dr. Abbasi, board certified in orthopedic surgery and sports medicine, offers non-surgical, regenerative and arthroscopic treatment, with every plan designed to restore mobility.
Knee Injuries We Treat
ACL Tear
A tear of the anterior cruciate ligament, which stabilizes the knee during pivoting and landing. Often accompanied by a pop and rapid swelling.
Meniscus Tear
Damage to the cartilage that cushions and stabilizes the knee, from a twisting injury or gradual wear.
PCL Tear
A tear of the ligament at the back of the knee. Many PCL injuries are managed without surgery.
Kneecap Instability
Partial or complete dislocation of the kneecap from its groove, often felt as the knee giving way.
Knee Malalignment
Bowed or knock-kneed alignment that places excess load on one side of the joint.
Multi-Ligament Knee Injury
Two or more ligaments torn together, typically from a high-energy injury or a knee dislocation.
Failed Previous Knee Surgery
