Serving Southlake from Dallas

PRP and Orthobiologics for Southlake, TX

Southlake keeps people in sport later than most places do. That is a good thing, and it produces a particular set of problems: rotator cuffs and elbows in tennis and golf, knees in runners and skiers, and tendon injuries in high-school athletes training at close to collegiate volume.

Texas Orthobiologics is in Dallas, about forty minutes away via TX-114 and the Dallas North Tollway.

Treated by a physician who competed, and who teaches

Don Buford, MD played four seasons of professional baseball in the Baltimore Orioles organization before medicine, and is a Stanford graduate. He is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon.

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.

The evaluation comes first and it is unhurried; new patient visits routinely run past forty-five minutes. Your imaging is reviewed with you, the joint or tendon is examined under ultrasound in the room, and the options are laid out with their real limits.

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

Is PRP worth it for tennis elbow that keeps coming back?

Recurrent tendon problems are among the more reasonable indications, because the underlying tissue change is what injections are aimed at. But recurrence also raises the question of load and technique, which an injection does not fix. The evaluation examines the tendon under ultrasound to establish what state it is actually in before anything is offered.

How much does PRP cost for a shoulder or elbow?

High-dose single-injection PRP runs $1,500 to $3,500 nationally, varying with the joint and protocol. BMAC runs $5,000 to $13,000. These are national ranges rather than a quote for your treatment, and your own investment is confirmed in writing at the consultation before you commit. CareCredit offers interest-free terms of six to eighteen months.

Who actually performs the injection?

Dr. Buford does, personally, under ultrasound guidance. This is a single-physician practice and the procedure is not delegated. He has taught that technique to more than 2,500 clinicians through the Las Vegas Regenerative Medicine and MSK Ultrasound Course, which he has directed since 2008.
