This video features a patient testimonial recorded six months after receiving bilateral bone marrow concentrate stem cell injections for grade 3 knee arthritis (degenerative joint disease), performed by Dr. Don Buford. The patient shares that both of his knees have improved significantly, estimating that they feel roughly 80% better overall compared to how they felt before the procedure. He notes that while his left knee was initially in worse condition and remains slightly behind the right, the progress across both legs has drastically enhanced his daily life.
In terms of functional mobility, the patient reports a substantial improvement in his ability to walk up and down stairs, though navigating sloped surfaces still presents a minor challenge. He explicitly highlights that his average pain levels have decreased and his overall range of motion has gotten better since the injections. Pleased with the successful outcome of the treatment, he concludes the interview by stating that he would definitely choose to undergo the stem cell procedure again.

Every patient is different, and a video is not a promise of the same result. If you want to know whether an orthobiologic or surgical option fits your own injury, that starts with an exam and imaging — not a video.
