The Oasis doctor is not able to discuss your particular condition with you over the phone or email, review your MRI report, or verify with you that these therapies are right for you prior to a New Patient Visit.

Potential patients often want a verification that these treatments will work for them prior to scheduling an appointment, and the short answer is NO, it is simply not possible to know without meeting you in person. The nature of orthopedic issues requires the Oasis doctor to meet you in person and do a comprehensive history and physical exam before the doctor can even determine whether the treatments that we offer would be suitable for you and your unique, individual needs. There are no sure answers in medicine. You must be or become an established patient of at Oasis before we are legally able to give you any medical advice.

Your first office visit with the Oasis doctor will include detailed health history, region physical exam of your main joint complaint, and a review of any previous imaging that you bring with you. Once all of the information is compiled, the Oasis doctor will answer any questions or concerns that you may have. You will be told the treatment plan and given an estimate of the cost of the injections at that time. The Oasis doctors rarely give injections on the first visit.

Healing is a process – this is a layered, functional approach- just as most painful conditions do not happen overnight, nor does optimal healing and wellness. Wellness is a journey, not a destination. For those who want a “quick fix injection”, this is the wrong clinic for your needs. If you want to engage in the ownership of your body, wellness, and overall health, and you’re ready to do the work, then Oasis is an inspiring and positive office to work with.

If it is determined that your painful condition is stemming from an underlying nutritional, hormonal or systemic cause you may be counseled to work on your diet/lifestyle or referred to a holistic health coach or other practitioner specializing in these treatments. You may be referred out, for other various reasons, to the most appropriate practitioner for your condition. Oasis doctors take pride in their ability to quickly diagnose and decide the most appropriate course of action for our patients and to get you into the hands of the practitioner who can help you most and the fastest. Jumping to PRP or stronger treatments is often not a good idea initially if you are not in optimal healing mode or you are inflamed.

Our goal is to always get you into the best hands for your type of pain and Oasis doctors have extensive training and experience so as to triage your individual case to most efficiently meet your needs. Too much time and money are wasted going from specialist to specialist for most people in pain. Oasis takes pride in putting control back into the patient’s hands.

Prolozone: Traditionally, 1-6 rounds of Prolozone, spaced 1-4 weeks apart, are needed for optimal results. We ask that patients commit to the full course of treatment for best resolution. Most people will notice improvement after the first 1-3 sessions. Depending on your response to the first treatment, the doctor may suggest moving on to PRP to save you money.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP for Joints): 1-2 regions can be treated at the same visit We always suggest that patients commit to 3 treatments for optimal results, spaced at various intervals, though many people respond sufficiently to just one session, while occasionally much less often people may need more.

• Hair Regeneration PRP: More than one treatment is often necessary. Hair loss happens for many reasons; not all respond to PRP.
• Facial Aesthetic PRP Facelift: More than one treatment is often necessary.
• ‘Stem Cell’ for Joints: 90-95% of the time just one treatment session is necessary.

Healing takes TIME. This is NOT a one-shot-wonder.

While some patients may get full pain/symptom resolution after only one treatment, many need the recommended amount described above. We generally recommend 3 treatments spaced 6-8 weeks apart.

Patients also may become concerned about symptoms returning during the course of treatment, between injections. While this is completely understandable, we ask that all patients have PATIENCE with the healing process. It is simply not possible to determine if a treatment plan is working until the course of treatment is completed. Everyone is a unique individual with a unique chemical milieu and a unique hormonal status and unique pain-wiring. We honor this uniqueness and we ask that patients honor their healing process and allow the course of treatment to be completed. The doctor can not promise any decent results with only one treatment. You must complete the full series prescribed for optimal benefits.

Oasis BioShot & ‘Stem Cells’: Traditionally, 1 session is all that is needed.  However, if, for example, one BioShot injection helps a certain person’s pain 80% initially we may see that there is a 10-20% ‘slippage’ with time, so a second injection may be desired at a later date.  However, usually only 1 injection is required.  Remember, the BioShot might be any single or combo of PRP, Amniotic fluid, Amniotic matrix, Wharton’s Jelly, Umbilical cord tissue, or Cell-Free Cytokine Therapy.  Most people will notice pain relief immediately, while for some it may take a full 3 months to gain full effect. 

Currently, Regenerative Injection Therapy might be covered by insurance companies and/or your Traditional Medicare. Previous to 2020, billing most insurance for these procedures was considered insurance fraud. However, 2020 has led to greater leniency and even Traditional Medicare has covered most of the costs for regenerative injection therapies done at Oasis Family Medicine.

Oasis Family medicine is not contracted with any insurance companies. As such, Oasis will accept payment in full at time of service, and then will likely be able to courtesy bill your insurance should you have PPO insurance. Oasis is not “In-Network” with any insurance companies except for Traditional Medicare. Oasis is Out-of-Network with all insurance companies except Traditional Medicare.

 Oasis will bill Traditional Medicare and may choose to courtesy bill your other PPO insurance for the office visit only, but will NOT bill them for any/all materials and processing fees. Please see Cash Patient Fee Schedule for detailed pricing info. It is your responsibility to understand the fees. Please ask us if clarification is needed. All materials and processing fees are due upon time of service (‘Stem Cells’ must be ordered before the treatment appointment). Please ask the Oasis staff if you have ANY questions regarding pricing. We are transparent on our pricing, though only a very generic price answer can be given until you have had a consultation with a provider. 

Medical school and residency trains physicians to think of Tylenol, NSAIDS, prescription medications, physical therapy and surgery as first-line treatments for arthritic knee pain. Therefore even most physicians haven’t heard of it before. There is also no single pharmaceutical company that will be making a bunch of money off of Prolozone so you won’t see it heavily advertised.

No. Prolozone uses ozone, oxygen, homeopathics, vitamins, and minerals to create healing. Prolotherapy uses inflammation to create the healing. While prolotherapy is usually effective, most physicians now use Prolozone because of the great ease, less pain and less number of treatments required.

Yes, for 90% of people who give it a try, it will work at decreasing pain to some extent and for most of them, it will give a complete or near-complete resolution of pain. The pain-free timeframe varies from person to person and typically may range from one month to a couple years depending on the person and what other therapies they are willing to implement.

Prolozone:  A mixture of ozone, oxygen, homeopathic medicine, Methyl B12, Folic acid, Nanoparticle silver, Procaine.

PRP:  Your own platelets and growth factors taken from your own blood.

BioShot & ‘Stem Cells’:  Amniotic fluid, Amniotic matrix, Wharton’s Jelly, Umbilical Cord Tissue, and Cell-Free Cytokines (‘exosomes’) are all sourced from healthy newborn amniotic, placenta or umbilical cord tissue that would have otherwise been thrown in the trash. They are all screened extensively to be sure to be free of all major medically recognized infections.

We use ethyl chloride spray that momentarily numbs the skin so that you usually will not even feel the needle and if you do the discomfort will be very minimal. Most people comment, “I didn’t even feel the needle go in.”

The Oasis doctor will only prescribe the occasional pain medication following a procedure, and even then the doctor generally suggests only regular Tylenol.
