Anyone Can Give an Injection. Knowing Whether You Need One Takes a Diagnosis.

An injection is only as good as the diagnosis behind it. Dr. Abbasi, a double board certified orthopedic surgeon, examines your joint and reviews your X-rays or MRI before anything is recommended. If an injection isn't the right treatment, you'll hear that at the first visit, along with what is.

Before Any Injection, Ask

  • Who examines my joint?

    Dr. Abbasi, a double board certified orthopedic surgeon.

  • Will my X-rays or MRI be reviewed first?

    Yes, before anything is recommended, and more imaging is ordered if it is needed.

  • Is the person giving the injection a medical doctor?

    Yes. Dr. Abbasi performs it, in the office.

  • What happens if an injection isn't enough?

    He also performs surgery, so every option is on the table.

I recently had rotator cuff surgery on my right shoulder performed at PRIME Orthopedics & Regenerative which just so happens to be the same orthopedic surgeon who operated on my left shoulder about five years ago. Just like the first time, I had an excellent experience. Dr. David Abbasi is exceptionally professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. He takes the time to explain everything clearly and is genuinely involved in his patients’ care and recovery. His entire staff is equally impressive—always professional, courteous, and efficient. I’ve never had to wait for my appointments, which speaks to how well his practice is managed. From consultation through post-op follow-ups, the process has been smooth and reassuring. I highly recommend Dr. David Abbasi at PRIME Orthopedics & Regenerative to anyone needing orthopedic care. I truly appreciate the consistent quality and dedication he and his team provide.

I had a great experience with Dr. Abbasi and his friendly staff. Went to see him to for chronic knee pain and we decided PRP was the best option. It was a quick and easy injection and now my knee is feeling great. Dr. Abbasi is a wealth of knowledge in biologics. He took the time to explain to me the benefits of PRP. I would highly recommend this physician and his staff if you are looking for a Sports Medicine physician.

I recently had the pleasure of being treated by Dr. David Abbasi for a persistent shoulder issue. From the moment I stepped into his office, I was impressed by his professionalism and genuine concern for my well-being. Dr. Abbasi immediately put me at ease with his comprehensive explanation of my injury and the available treatment options. He patiently answered all my questions and addressed my concerns in a clear and understandable manner. His knowledge and expertise were evident, and I felt confident that I was in good hands. Treatment followed quickly and due to his knowledge and skill set my injuries are plaguing me no longer. I also very much enjoyed talking sports, especially UFC and Wrestling, with Dr. Abbasi. Highly recommend!
