We recommend pairing DPC with a high-deductible or health-sharing plan for catastrophic coverage. DPC handles the 80–90% of healthcare that happens outside the hospital. Together, they give you better care at lower total cost.

Unlimited in-person and telehealth visits, same-day access, chronic disease management, preventive care, labs at cost, and a physician who knows your history. No copays, no surprise bills, no prior authorizations.

Testosterone and women's hormone optimization are among the most impactful things we do. Most patients notice changes in energy, body composition, and mental clarity within 4–8 weeks. We run labs, build a protocol around your numbers, and adjust over time.

We offer physician-supervised GLP-1 programs — semaglutide and tirzepatide — at multiple price points. We track your progress, adjust your dose, and manage the full arc of treatment. Not just a prescription and a goodbye.

Clinics in Jacksonville and Tallahassee, FL. Our hormone optimization programs are available nationwide via telehealth — the same protocols our in-clinic patients use, wherever you are.

PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. We draw a small blood sample, concentrate the platelets in a centrifuge, and inject the plasma into the target joint under ultrasound guidance. The growth factors in those platelets signal your body to begin tissue repair — your own biology, not a drug.

Cortisone reduces inflammation temporarily. PRP asks the joint to heal. Cortisone can degrade cartilage over time — PRP works in the opposite direction. Cortisone feels better fast; PRP improves over 6–12 weeks as tissue responds.

The advanced protocol adds a regenerative cell component drawn from your own hip — a richer biological signal for joints that have not responded to PRP alone. Same office, same day, about 30 minutes for the draw.

Many of our patients arrive with a surgical recommendation they are not ready to accept. Whether regenerative medicine is appropriate depends on your imaging and what Dr. Stowers finds on exam. We will tell you honestly if the case is past the point where it helps.

A single injection can be right for acute or mild presentations. The clinical standard for meaningful joint regeneration is a series of three — each building on the last. We show you the full protocol on paper before you commit to anything.

Most patients notice meaningful improvement at 6–8 weeks, with the full effect developing over 3–6 months. The timeline varies by joint, severity, and protocol. We track your progress through the full arc.

No — regenerative orthopedics is not covered by insurance. We are a cash-pay practice and all pricing is transparent before you commit. Financing is available and can be discussed at your consultation.

We do not offer Botox, fillers, or any foreign substance. Every treatment uses your own biology — PRP for skin, hair, and collagen stimulation; RF microneedling to trigger your own repair mechanisms. The philosophy is regeneration, not replacement.

RF microneedling combines micro-injuries (which trigger your healing response) with radiofrequency energy (which heats the deeper dermis to stimulate collagen). The result is firmer, smoother, more even skin — with results that continue improving for 3–6 months.

We draw a small blood sample, concentrate the platelets, and apply the PRP after microneedling — driving growth factors directly into the channels created by the needles. The combination accelerates collagen production in a way neither treatment achieves alone.

Our signature treatment: RF microneedling with PRP application. It addresses laxity, texture, tone, and fine lines in a single session. Most patients see initial results within 2 weeks and full results at 3 months.

Many patients see significant results after one session. For more pronounced concerns — deeper lines, significant laxity, hair thinning — a series of three is the clinical standard. We build a plan based on your starting point and goals.

PRP for hair uses growth factors to stimulate dormant follicles. It is most effective for androgenic hair loss — thinning at the crown and temples. Results develop over 3–6 months and are typically maintained with annual treatments.

Most patients are red for 24–48 hours after RF microneedling — similar to a moderate sunburn. Mild peeling may occur over the following week. Most patients return to social activity within 2–3 days. We provide a full recovery protocol at your appointment.
