Orthobiologics and PRP for Irving, TX
Irving is about twenty-five minutes from our Dallas office, which makes it one of the easier drives we see. For patients working in Las Colinas, an appointment fits inside a long lunch rather than taking a day.
That matters more than it sounds. The most common reason joint pain goes untreated for years is not investment or fear - it is that the appointment never gets made.
Who is treating you
Your imaging is reviewed with you on screen. The joint or tendon is examined under ultrasound in the room, which frequently changes the working diagnosis. Then the options are set out with their honest limits, including the option of doing nothing yet. New patient evaluations routinely run past forty-five minutes.
Don Buford, MD is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon who has spent two decades teaching orthobiologics to other physicians. He serves as Chairman of the Biologic Association for 2026–2027, and is a past president of the Interventional Orthobiologics Foundation, where he served two terms and still sits on the Executive Committee and Board of Directors. He is in his fourth year on the Board of Directors of the Arthroscopy Association of North America and is founding editor of the Biologic Orthopedics Journal.
Since 2008 he has directed the Las Vegas Regenerative Medicine and MSK Ultrasound Course, one of the longest-running courses in the field, where more than 2,500 clinicians have trained.
What is offered
- Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) — higher-dose protocols, because platelet dose is the variable most often responsible for a disappointing result.
- Bone marrow aspirate concentrate, BMAC (stem cells) — drawn from your own marrow and concentrated during the same visit.
- Cartilage restoration surgery — MACI, osteochondral allograft and CartiHeal Agili-C, for defects that an injection cannot address.
Every orthobiologic injection we perform is autologous, and every one is placed under ultrasound guidance so the needle is watched into the target in real time.
Both options. One board-certified surgeon.

Common questions
How long will the appointment take?
New patient evaluations routinely run past forty-five minutes, because the imaging review and the ultrasound examination are the substance of the visit rather than an add-on. Follow-up visits are shorter. If you are coming from Las Colinas on a work day, allow about two hours door to door including the drive.
How much does PRP cost for a knee?
High-dose single-injection PRP runs $1,500 to $3,500 nationally. Lower-dose preparations involve a smaller investment but often need repeating and the published results are frequently weaker, which is why this practice uses higher-dose protocols. Your own investment is confirmed in writing at the consultation. CareCredit offers interest-free options over six to eighteen months.
What should I bring to the first visit?
Any MRI, X-ray or ultrasound you have had, plus a list of what you have already tried - injections, physical therapy, bracing, medication, and roughly when. That history is what shortens the path to a decision. If the images are not easy to lay hands on, our office can help you get them before you come.
