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.

Dr. Abbasi and his staff are kind, caring, and compassionate. I never felt rushed nor pushed towards a specific treatment. Rather, Dr. Abbasi explained and educated me on my issue along with treatment options. Together, we laid out a plan we both felt were best for me. I’ve had great results so far, and highly recommend him.

Dr. Abbasi was highly recommended to me from a friend and he did not disappoint. He helped me tremendously with my tibial plateau fracture and guided me through the regenerative route with PRP therapy. The first injection helped exponentially, and we just did my second today hoping for even more improvement. Also, the girls at the front desk are always so sweet and welcoming!

It’s great to know there’s an expert Orthopedic Surgeon, in Delray Beach specializing in StemCell & PRP treatments.They have a great team! Everyone is professional and very knowledgeable on the different options that Dr. Abbasi offers for regenerative treatments. I’m looking forward to recovery with stem cell treatments instead of surgery!

I am so grateful for Dr. Abassi’s expertise and experience with ACL reconstruction surgery. I was lucky to be able to have the BEAR procedure, and while I’m not quite completely out of the woods and cleared to return to normal activity, I’m quite close as I approach the 9 month post-surgery mark in a couple weeks. His attentiveness along the roads of both post-injury and post-surgery was exceptional, as were his explanations of my limitations at all stages of recovery. Moreover, his guidance about what I could and couldn’t do, and how best to do things in such a way that protected the surgical repair and allowed it the time and conditions it needed to heal properly was invaluable to the completeness of my recovery. I would highly recommend Dr. Abassi to anyone who suffered a blunt force ACL knee injury like I did.

I had a major surgery with Dr. Abbasi — he handled both my tech repair and rotator cuff at the same time. Considering the size of the surgery, I was amazed at how smooth he made the whole process and how much he eased the pain. He truly is the best. I honestly wouldn’t consider going anywhere else.

Bobby Hallock5 out of 5a year ago

I was referred to Dr. Abbasi by my sports medicine doctor, Dr. David Rudnick, after struggling with elbow issues for decades. Thanks to three rounds of PRP injections and a tailored treatment regimen from Dr. Abbasi, my functionality has drastically improved, and the random pain and numbness have been greatly minimized. For the first time in years, I no longer feel like I just have to “live with” the discomfort I had accepted for so long. I truly appreciate Dr. Abbasi and his team for helping me get back to feeling like myself again!

Dr Abassi and staff are amazing. Dr. Abassi is the “go to” doc surgeon for all our tennis and pickleball injuries. He even does stem cell if needed. Great personality is a plus. Got through my hamstring tear in record time.

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.
