PRP and Stem Cell (BMAC) Injections for Prosper, TX
Prosper patients often have more than one problem joint. Some come in for a knee and leave with a plan for a shoulder or hip too. Others have a rotator cuff tear and want to know if they can avoid surgery.

PRP or BMAC (stem cells)?
Both treatments use your own body's healing cells. Neither one uses donor tissue. Here is how they differ. Read more about PRP injections and BMAC (stem cells).
| PRP | BMAC (stem cells) | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Platelets from your own blood, concentrated to a high dose | Cells from your own bone marrow, concentrated during the same visit |
| Where it comes from | A blood draw from your arm | A small draw from the back of your hip bone, with numbing medicine |
| Your investment | Starts at $1,500 | Starts at $5,000 |
Your exam and imaging decide which one fits you. You will know your exact investment before you commit. CareCredit offers financing plans up to twelve months. See how our investment compares.
Why Prosper patients make the drive
- One doctor does your injection. Dr. Buford gives every injection himself. It is never handed off to someone else.
- Ultrasound guidance every time. He watches the needle reach the exact spot on a screen, in real time.
- We measure your dose. Many clinics never tell you how many platelets or cells are in your shot. We measure it and show you.
- Most patients need one injection. More than 90% of our procedures need only one injection (Texas Orthobiologics registry data 2022-2026).
- A teacher of other doctors. Since 2008, Dr. Buford has directed the Las Vegas Regenerative Medicine and MSK Ultrasound Course, where more than 2,500 clinicians have trained. He is Chairman of the Biologic Association for 2026-2027, a past president of the Interventional Orthobiologics Foundation, and founding editor of the Biologic Orthopedics Journal.
- A former pro athlete. Before medicine, he played four seasons of professional baseball in the Baltimore Orioles organization. He is a Stanford graduate and a board-certified orthopedic surgeon.

Can more than one joint be treated in the same visit?
Yes. Some patients have more than one joint treated with BMAC (stem cells) in the same visit. Your investment depends on how many areas we treat, and you will know it before you commit.
Should I get PRP or stem cells for knee arthritis?
It depends on how much wear is in the joint, your age, your activity and your goals. Dr. Buford looks at your X-rays or MRI and examines the knee with ultrasound. Then he explains which option fits you, or whether neither one does.
Can PRP or stem cells help a rotator cuff tear?
For some partial rotator cuff tears and tendon problems, PRP or BMAC (stem cells) is an option. A large or full tear may need surgery. Dr. Buford is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon who does both, so he can tell you which path fits your shoulder.
How long is the first visit?
