Northwest Center for Regenerative Medicine - Vancouver, WA

I was born and raised in the farmlands of Iowa. I completed a BS degree in Biology with minors in Chemistry and Psychology. From there I moved on to medical school at Loma Linda University completing a residency in physical medicine and rehabilitation and a fellowship in pain management. I am board certified in each and have been in private practice for the past 15 years. I decided to make the change to regenerative medicine in 2022 after I herniated my C6-7 disc to the left with severe nerve root compression with significant pain, numbness as well as some weakness. I was going to have surgery but Dr. Jamie Lewis convinced me to have a Regenexx treatment as I waited. Turned out that I never needed the surgery as the platelet lysate injection series stopped the pain and woke up the arm. Now I have no sensation loss or strength loss. I was aware of PRP treatments but I had no idea of the effectiveness that could be achieved even with my severe nerve root compression from a disc herniation. I have been studying, training and performing regenerative treatments since then and am thankful to be able to provide those same Regenexx procedures to my patients.
