Orthobiologics and PRP for Richardson, TX
Richardson is the shortest drive of any city we serve outside Dallas proper, about twenty minutes straight down US-75. For patients working in the Telecom Corridor or around UT Dallas, an appointment does not have to consume a day.
That proximity changes what is practical. Richardson patients can often be seen the same week, and the follow-up visits that tendon work sometimes requires stop being a logistical problem.
What you are driving to
Texas Orthobiologics is a concierge practice. One physician sees you, evaluates you and treats you. Your imaging is reviewed with you rather than summarised at you. New patient evaluations routinely run beyond forty-five minutes because that review is the substance of the visit.
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 quickly can I be seen?
Most new patients are seen within two weeks, and Richardson patients can often be fitted in sooner because of the short drive. Prior imaging helps, and our office can help you obtain it if you do not have a copy. Evaluations typically run past forty-five minutes, so the appointment is long enough to reach an actual decision rather than schedule another visit.
Do you offer hyaluronic acid or gel injections?
We use viscosupplementation rarely. It is not our default treatment for knee arthritis. We use hyaluronic acid when clinically indicated, and that is the exception rather than the routine. For earlier-stage arthritis it remains a reasonable option for some patients, and it will be discussed honestly alongside PRP rather than dismissed.
How much does PRP cost for a shoulder?
High-dose single-injection PRP runs $1,500 to $3,500 nationally, with the figure depending on the joint and the protocol. Lower-dose preparations involve a smaller investment but frequently require repeat injections. Your investment is confirmed in writing at the consultation, before you commit. CareCredit interest-free options run six to eighteen months.
