Best decision I ever made, and wish we would have gone sooner! Both doctors, Dr. Darrow and Dr. Grove are exceptional as far as their knowledge AND skill. I've taken my daughter multiple times over several years and her relief has always been immediate, each time. Prolotherapy gave her a life, after she had been suffering over a year and there's nothing else out there like it. I do give her something to relax before, because it is quite a few injections in her neck (C spine) the problem area. She has hypermobility and no curve in her neck, and is 22 years old. The office staff and assistants are courteous and there's even a little cafe inside the building which is nice. I hope more people can find them because treating the spine to avoid surgery, who doesn't want that ?!! read more

I have utilized the expertise of both Dr. Darrow and Dr. Grove. Most recently I went to see Dr. Grove for what he described as golf elbow. I had a good amount of pain and had to stop lifting weights....or pretty much anything. Got injected and on day 2 Dr. Grove called to see how I was doing. First...who does that? Second, as I told him, "The pain is 90% gone". By day 2 it was completely gone. Astonishing to me. Thanks to you both, Dr. Darrow and Dr. Grove. You guys rock! read more

Just finished my second series of injections. What a difference. They added exosomes to the stem cells, which seems to have taken healing to another level. My lumbar problem has been with me for over a year. I can't walk more than 5-10 minutes before having to sit down. After my recent procedure, the pain is almost completely gone. It's a miracle! Great staff, very professional, and up to date with the latest scientific breakthroughs. I'm very grateful for my results. read more

I wanted to say I have interviewed several PRP & Stem cell joint Rehab offices and Dr.Thomas Grove is very passionate and experienced in this field His Radio shows are also very informative that's how I found him on Live Am 870 ! Saturdays 10:00 am , I have booked a procedure with him , for my ankle problem his game plan gave me lots of encouragement, I'm very happy with his professional knowledge Happy to share my story's. Sincerely, Bernie Kozak read more

I had stem cells in my knees by Dr Darrow some years ago and my Knees are still good. I walk well, I have even been hiking in the Alps. Before the treatment I had a stair lift at home (no stairlift now !) and walking was very difficult. I am immensely grateful , Dr Darrow is very knowledgable, professional, kind and caring and so is his staff. For me the treatment changed my life and I recommend highly to everybody.Ruth, London, UK read more

Dr Darrow and his staff are extremely caring. I had autologous stem cells for my knees a few years ago and found it helpful with pain after exercise. I came back today after a new knee injury and Dr Darrow aspirated a lot of joint fluid and injected stem cell from my bone marrow. I am once again impressed by the level of care I received. And it's always uplifting to talk with Dr Darrow, who is incredibly spiritual. read more

Please...Please... Before you consider surgery... Please do this! My fiance was looking at another shoulder surgery.. something I considered risky because of his heart surgery and Traumatic Brain Injury... plus the down time and pain.. ... He's very active, rides horses.. lifts heavy saddles..heavy hay... He was told he may need a few treatments, and still I was able to talk him into it.. He has had ONE treatment.. and he said he is about 99% better.. no pain... when his pain WAS anywhere from a 9 to a 12 every day. Thank you Doctor... you are brilliant and caring... and you save lives.. literally Please go and see Dr Darrow.. You will not regret it. read more

So very grateful for the wonderful care and treatment I have received at Joint Rehab. Dr. Grove is passionate about his patients and his staff are incredible. I feel so much better after my treatments and I'm able to more comfortably do the things I love to do. read more

Last year I tore my meniscus. After months of physical therapy and limping around I decided to try PRP/stem-cell treatment. Dr Grove injected my knee and I am 100 percent. After the successful outcome I tried the PRP Stem cell shots for my thinning hair. I have had 3 sessions and have not had this much hair for years. I am so thrilled with the work of Dr Groves and Dr Darrow. So appreciative of their attentive and kind staff as well. Highly recommend!!!!! read more

Great experience with Dr Grove and Dr Darrow. Had a lot of pain in my right knee from an injury that occurred about 20 years ago and Dr Darrow treated me with injections about 3 years ago. It was a very successful treatment and the pain has not returned. Dr Grove is now treating my left knee for meniscus tears with lot of pain. Now just waiting for the healing process to complete. With both knees my Orthopedist said the only thing he could do was surgery. I highly recommend the Joint Rehab and Sports Medical Center for regenerative repair. Why get surgery and all the issues that come with it when the PRP/Stem Cell treatments work? Dr Grove and Dr Darrow are pros at this! read more

Staff and Doctors all caring and professional. Pain in my knees is gone. I can walk comfortably again after several years of experiencing pain with Esch step, read more

Excellent experience with Dr. Grove and his entire staff for PRP and stem cell treatment. All of my needs were met, and the care was thorough and professional. Dr. Grove is very personable and took the time to explain everything clearly. The front office staff was wonderful and welcoming and the RN assisting Dr. Grove was great as well. Highly recommend. read more

I recently had a procedure done on both my shoulders. Dr Grove is an outstanding resource of knowledge, his treatment is speedy and he's as professional as can be. Highly recommend! read more

I recently saw Dr. GROVE to have stem cell therapy for a tear the meniscus in my knee. Dr. GROVE was very thorough in providing me all the details I needed to know about the stem cell therapy process required to treat my meniscus so that I would completely understand his treatment and confident before starting. When he did the therapy to my knee it only took an hour, and because he was able to remove a lot of water out from the swelling in my knee...besides inserting the stems cells in the tear of my knee, I felt a lot of the pressure leave after a few days. I saw DR. GROVE two weeks later for more stem cell therapy again. It has been a month now and my knee mobility is improving. I highly recommend recommending DR.GROVE who is the partner doctor with DR. DARROW. DR. GROVE is extremely professional in his treatments and really listens to your needs before going forward with a treatment that will bring results. read more

Mark darrow is the optiomy of efficiency, caring, kindness and everything he does works!!!! He is the best!!!!!

Great business and awesome customer service highly recommended about this business. If you are looking for professionalism and great customer service read more

I was treated by Dr. Grove with PRP for plantar fascitis. From the consult to the actual procedure he was patient in answering all my questions and was very thorough. He even spent time researching a good walking boot. He also checks on you the next day and a couple weeks later. I am so grateful for him and his team. Its a breath of fresh air to have quality time with a medical professional who isnt in a rush to get to the next patient. I highly recommend! read more

I read up on PRP and related treatments for knees, and got in touch with Dr. Darrow. He and his staff were amazing and the procedure itself was done incredibly smoothly and thoroughly. After some time of post-procedure care and rest I could feel that the treatment delivered positive results in both knees. To really get the most benefit, you should do multiple treatments and allow plenty of time for the treated area to recover. But I can say that even just one treatment can have positive effects. Thank you for such a great job Dr. Darrow by you and your staff. read more

Six years ago I had stem cell treatment by Dr. Darrow for an ankle injury that happened 35 years before. The results were beyond extraordinary. Recently my ankle began to swell and feel achey at times. I knew there was no reason to wait until I couldn't walk again. I had one treatment a few days ago with Dr. Grove and as I am recovering and wearing a walking boot the swelling is gone. The options presented over the years by my orthopedic surgeon were ankle fusion or ankle replacement. I am so grateful I had access to this alternative and can't wait until it becomes the standard of care. read more

Drs. Darrow and Grove and their office staff are wonderful. They both took the time to really explain things, listened to my concerns, made me and my mother both feel comfortable, and worked with us on the financial side of it. They are extremely knowledgeable in this field and truly believe in their process, which makes it easier to believe in it yourself and in their skill. I am about two weeks out from my initial injections into my hip, lower back, and knee. I do not have any relief from pain yet, but I did not expect to this early. I will do a follow-up review on how I'm feeling in a month. But whether stem cells work for me or not, I would still recommend them! read more

Dr. Darrow has been treating my various pain conditions for several years, helping me avoid multiple surgeries. Most recently, I suffered a rotator cuff tear in my right shoulder. Dr. Darrow treated my rotator cuff tear with PRP injections and I was able to avoid surgery. I am truly grateful for his skill and dedication. read more

After just two treatments By Dr Darrow my acute to severe back pain was alleviated! I had dealt with this problem for over 54 years and never dreamed I would be able to enjoy such relief. At the age of 75 years I feel I've been "reborn" and am able to enjoy my life with a smile on my face. This proves a point that one should never give up on seeking solutions to their medical problems. Run don't walk to see this wonderful physician! read more

Dr Grove is really good I had some stem cell in my shoulders as well as PRP. I am back to normal lifting and no pain . Before I went to see this Doctor my shoulders were hurting and cracking. I can do dips again and lifting and pressing in the gym once again. Dr Grove contacted me the day after my procedure, just to make sure I was doing well. The staff are very friendly. I was a bit skeptical at first but I did not want to live with the pain and discomfort in my shoulders . I highly recommend this Doctor they have solved my problem. read more

Excellent care, patient Dr. and best of all... the treatment works wonders. I they recommend.

Dr. Darrow's staff are arrogant and rude, especially Amanda with whom a spat of lengthy follow up emails and phone calls had my jaw dropping with her callous and blunt attitude....for no apparent reason. Blood draw staff can be quite bad too. I was poked 4 times to draw blood each time I visited, by the same lady, who never succeeded --all while her colleague always got it on the first try. (Yes, this entire scenario played out twice!). The blood draw staff also had the nerve to tell me it was my vein that was the issue....even after her colleague had no issue in front of her very eyes. Dr. Darrow is clearly pusher: his personal bandwidth for both my visits felt extremely short. He did not catch a hip impingement on either of my soft tissue scans, and it didn't even seem to matter if you had a scan or not, ate well that day or rested or not.... while you're already there they prefer to treat you asap (red flag, people). You wait hours to get your turn, and yes that's prior to the hours after the blood draw.... During the waiting experience: It was disheartening to hear Dr. Darrow's pressured sales tactics on non-native English speakers (clearly in pain), from the room next door. He used similar tactics on me and others. I often heard, " well do you want to get better or not?" and no surprise he took the same tone with me when I was only asking clarifying questions about the differences in outcomes for patients in response to (Prolo vs. PRP vs. "Stem"). When it came to the cost of my care, he asked me to "name my price," to fix my problems, and used pressured one-liner sales tactics along the way. Looking back, his responses were short ... and I say this despite coming back to him twice because I wanted to believe in what he was selling me. All in all, I think everyone can let a lot slide if the people you are working with are courteous and truly compassionate....OR if the treatments actually work. Unfortunately neither are true here, even 5K later... I felt slightly improved for 2 weeks (thanks doc, I know results vary) and then back to pain for me immediately. I'd rather have booked a nice trip or even donated it to charity of my choice. 2 stars because the guy who assessed my motion did seem like he knew what he was doing :) P.S. You also never get to see the stem cell mixing, so you have no way of really knowing if it's just PRP he's giving you when you pay a premium for stem cells. FYI Dr. Darrow uses a brand called Regenexx--a company based out of Pensicola,FL-- not technically stem cells.... so he calls it "PRP+"). read more

Dr. Thomas Grove is an excellent doctor. He has treated me with platelet injections in my knee a couple of years ago and more recently in my toe and ankle. He is patient, explains everything clearly, and even shows me what's happening on the ultrasound screen so I can really understand. His technique is careful and precise, and he always prioritizes safety and infection prevention. He gives clear discharge instructions and even personally calls the next day to check on how I'm doing. That kind of follow-up is rare. I trust him completely and plan to see him for any joint issues for the rest of my life! read more

I was going through terrible pain in both shoulders the orthopedic doctor advised me to have shoulder replacement surgery. I had already had both knees replaced and did not want to undergo anymore surgery. I happened to hear Dr. Darrow on the radio talking about stem cell therapy and decided to try the stem cell procedure. I had the procedure done on both shoulders and the pain was gone after the 3rd procedure. Seven years later I am still pain free and I bless every cent for having this procedure done. God Bless Dr. Darrow and his wonderful staff. I can't say enough of how wonderful Dr. Darrow treated me, I highly recommend this procedure if you qualify, I later wanted to have my hips injected with stem cells but Dr. Darrow said my hips were to far gone, Dr. Darrow will advise you truthfully.

This review is long overdue. Dr. Grove is not only an exceptional clinician but also a truly compassionate and dedicated individual. His knowledge is matched by a genuine passion for helping others, which can be seen in the time he spends educating patients and presenting treatment options in a thoughtful, pressure-free manner. Throughout my care, I've reached out to him on multiple occasions with questions and concerns, and he has always responded with patience and attentiveness--never once making me feel dismissed or rushed. Dr. Grove treated my hip osteoarthritis with a bone marrow stem cell procedure over a year ago, and more recently, performed a nerve decompression procedure on my wrist. Both experiences have been positive and reassuring. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Grove to anyone dealing with similar conditions. You'll be in excellent hands. read more

Best Referral Ever!! I had put off my knee replacement for years. Dr Grove completed an ultrasound and confirmed the damage. I decided to have the stem cell injection. I was advised it could take multiple treatments. This has been one of the best decisions I could have ever made for my body. I am pain free with no side effects whatsoever. Matter of fact, some how the cells went down to my heel and cured another issue I was having. So far, I have taken two injections and this was due to the trauma I sustain during the summer. I highly recommend this facility. This office has amazing staff members that who treat you like family. My doctor is with you every step of the way. All questions and concerns are addressed and the follow-up care is top notch. You will not regret this type of treatment!! read more

Unfortunately, as much as I hoped & prayed for healing, I was one of the evidently few patients who did not have a successful outcome from my PRP + Magellan stem cell injections. I had six treatments in all. Three for my right hip & three for my right knee. I'm not sure why I was not a good candidate or what steps I should now take to help my worsening pain & immobility. Perhaps I was too old, or too far gone for improvement. Very sad, as this therapy seems to have benefited so many people. At least, I tried. read more

Overall, the appointment was fine. (I didn't do the PRP as of yet.) Dr. Grove did an ultrasound showing I had excellent cartilage of the knee for someone over 30 (I'm 69 years old). (No bone on bone issue.) He mentioned something about slight meniscus tears and patella ligament (I think) rupture. He also said I had previous meniscus tears which apparently healed on their own. I didn't know I had that issue before. Further, Dr. Grove mentioned that science may be looking into PRP (I think) for damaged nerves. (My femoral nerve was damaged from hernia surgery.) I would still like to get the notes of the ultrasound for my records and physical therapist. read more

A follow up call on a Saturday!?!?! Yup that's right. Dr. Darrow's level of care is incredible! Athletes of all ages ( and especially you surfing core lords out there) , if you're struggling with injuries and can't get the help you need, THIS is the office for you. read more

I am so grateful for Dr. Grove! Last year I was having severe hip pain and the Orthopedic physician felt I should take something for pain and use a walking stick or cane. I am running a health care company and very active, that just would not do. So I did some research and found this office. I am so grateful I did!!! I asked Dr. Grove if I would need a hip replacement and he said only if you wanted to. The answer absolutely not. So I began my journey with stem cell injections into my right hip. As I went through the healing process, I forgot about the hip being an issue, it was that good! I would suggest that if you are having a problem, check it out and decide. One of the best decisions I ever made! By the way, Dr. Grove will take the time with you, answer questions simply, give examples and check on you as well after you leave the office. The office staff is great and you can see a team approach! A Five Star rating for sure! read more

Really excellent experience with Dr. Grove and his stem cell therapy treatment. Staff is diligent and thorough and great to work with. I got treated for persistent low back pain and was amazed at the immediate relief I got. They are very careful to not over promise, so I was genuinely pleasantly surprised at how much I improved so quickly. Dr. Grove is great - super knowledgeable and really excellent at what he does. Just an awesome experience all around. read more

Dr. Darrow and staff are very thorough throughout the entire process. I had PRP treatments done to my lower back and legs for pain that I have had for years from sports injuries. I could not say enough good things about Dr. Darrow and his wonderful staff. Dr. Darrows bedside manner is exceptional, asking questions to make sure he is providing the best level of care for his patients. The overall process was very simple, blood is drawn, you wait for the process to be done and then Dr. Darrow injects and is done in minutes. Highly recommend for anyone who is in pain and looking for a method of healing that is seamless and works!! read more

Before the Holidays I went for my 3rd treatment. I have seen alot of improvement, gradual but improvement ALL THE SAME. I am not at the GOAL LINE YET but it is within sight I believe in this procedure and I believe in Drs Darrow and Grove along with their team, their names are on my HEALING MIRACLE read more

I was having terrible lower back pain in 2022 - 2023. I went to 3 orthopedists who said my only option was spinal fusion. The surgery and the after care is very difficult and painful. Before I would have spinal surgery I wanted to try anything non invasive. We had heard of Dr. Darrow and his stem cell treatments on the radio. I started going for treatments in February of 2023. I went every 2 weeks. I was not showing improvement but kept trying. In late May - June of 2023 it all changed. THE PAIN WAS GONE. I couldn't believe it. It is now January of 2025 and I still do not have pain. NO PAIN AT ALL. I am 75 years old and not athletic. I am able to do everything in my normal life, including 13 hours walking around Disneyland without any pain at all. I still can't believe it!! I can't say Thank you enough to Dr. Darrow. His treatments changed my life. read more

I did a round of stem cells followed up with a round of prp and the pain from degenerative discs in my neck is almost entirely gone. My only regret is I did't try it much sooner, before spinal fusion surgery. Thank you Dr. Grove. read more

It has been a month since Dr. Grove gave me my last stem cell injections in my knee for a torn menescus. I am finally pain free!! I was scheduled to have surgery and cancelled it after speaking with Dr. Grove. Dr. Grove and his staff are amazing and care about their patients. I flew from the east coast to receive stem cell injections and it was the best decision I could have made. If you are told you need surgery, I encourage you to contact Dr. Thomas Grove first. I am so glad I did!! read more

After just one prp injection in my knee, I was pain free and able to do my normal exercises. It's been over a year, and I'm still pain free.
