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.

Surgical removal of a ganglion cyst from the wrist or hand, when the cyst is painful or limits movement.
Ganglion Cyst Treatment
A ganglion cyst is a lump filled with thick, jelly-like fluid that grows from a joint or from the lining of a tendon. It is most often found on the back of the wrist, and also on the palm side of the wrist, at the base of a finger or near the last joint of a finger. Ganglion cysts are benign, and an examination confirms that a lump is a ganglion rather than something else. At PRIME Orthopedics & Regenerative Center, Dr. Abbasi, board certified in orthopedic surgery and sports medicine, performs ganglion cyst removal when symptoms warrant surgery.
Common Questions
Do I have to have surgery?
Not necessarily. Treatment begins with the most conservative appropriate option, and Dr. Abbasi recommends surgery only when he believes it is warranted.
Is a ganglion cyst dangerous?
Ganglion cysts are benign. The consultation confirms that a lump is a ganglion, by examination and, where needed, imaging, before any treatment is planned.
Will the cyst go away on its own?
Some do, and many change size over time, which is why a painless cyst is often watched rather than treated.
Can a ganglion come back after it is removed?
It can. The operation removes the stalk as well as the cyst, because the stalk is where a ganglion grows from, and the chance of it returning is discussed with you before the operation.
How long before I can use my hand normally?
Light use of the hand usually resumes within the first few weeks, and heavier use builds up from around six weeks as comfort allows. Wrist stiffness and scar tenderness can take several months to settle.
Do you take insurance?
Most PPO plans are accepted for consultations and surgical care. Regenerative injections are paid for directly. Please call the office to confirm what applies to your plan.
