Dr. Darr treated my right knee using a combined cell therapy injection. At the time, I viewed this therapy as a last attempt to avoid knee replacement surgery. I was taking what I viewed to be "way too much" pain medicine to treat the pain in my knee. Six weeks after the cell therapy injection, I am practically pain free- I take an Advil or two at bed time. I no longer limp and don't really think about my knee much now. I am very happy with the results of my cell therapy. Dr. Darr is wonderful! (PS- I am a former Clinical Nurse Specialist and am pretty stingy with doctor accolades.)
I was in such terrible pain- now, after having the combined cell therapy procedure, I am pain free for over a year! Dr. Darr provided excellent care and excellent quality- very knowledgeable and professional. Dr. Darr is super nice and good.
Cellular therapy went real good. I don't have very much pain, just a little every now and then. I feel so much better; I have a better outlook about my future health and comfort. I am very satisfied with my care. Time spent with me was plenty and of very good quality. I am feeling better after this treatment. I feel much better because of this good treatment, good doctor, and good staff.
Prior to the Combined Cell and PRP injections, I was very close to having both of my knees replaced. Synvisc injections were not working and I was having trouble walking. Since the treatment on both knees (Combined Cell Therapy in one and PRP in the other), I am almost pain free and have resumed playing both tennis and golf. My quality of life has greatly improved over the past 12 months. Dr. Darr and his team completely explained how the treatments would work. He made no promises, but did say there were many cases that showed excellent results. On the whole, I appreciated the time spent and the honest assessment on what treatment to use for each knee. I would highly recommend Dr. Darr to anyone having knee issues. I have already done so to several personal friends.
Since having combined cell therapy, I am able to move my left knee without having any pain. I do have some stiffness, but over time I am hoping that will go away. The quality of care stands out for me. Dr. Darr and his team were very attentive to me. I would recommend my friend to Dr. Darr’s office. I am 63% healed. I have never been to a clinic where they put your needs first. I am truly grateful for everything Dr. Darr has done for me
I had injured my left knee wall in it was continuously getting worse. The VA treated me with pain killers and exercises. I saw Dr. Darr and he told me about my options and I picked cell therapy. Thank God, it was the best choice I made. I am already, six weeks later, walking 2 to 3 miles with no problems I have known Dr. Darr from past experiences with my daughter and I liked the way he is to the point and his professionalism. His whole staff cares about the patient, great follow-ups. To someone looking for a doctor I would say run to him if you can. I’ve actually already put the word out that he is fantastic.
I injured my right knee 10 years ago while running. I had an arthroscopic and several Synvisc injections with temporary relief. PRP worked for about three years. Cell therapy (Lipogems) help to relieve stiffness and pain. Much improved range of motion. Dr. Darr is competent, caring, and professional. He goes the extra mile to learn the new regenerative procedures to help those patients obtain maximum function with the least invasive procedure. I tell patients all the time about Dr. Darr and his regenerative procedures.
Dr. Darr was very patient and explained everything he was going to do (with the PRP therapy). I went into see Dr. Darr after 3 steroid shots, 6 months of PT. Nothing helped with the pain in my right hip. This was my last choice before surgery. Two weeks after the PRP, I was able to walk and get out of my car without pain. I started ARP therapy about a week after the PRP procedure. ARP is painless and it actually feels very good. Pam (the ARP technician) is very kind and patient as well. I plan to go back even after I finish my therapy. I believe it helps to go back when you feel as though you have a minor pain. I recommend it highly (both procedures).
Dr. Darr is so kind and patient, explains everything before proceeding with each step.
I would highly recommend PRP and ARP to anyone that has an issue (with pain). I can now walk the 3 miles that I have been walking for 40 years without pain. I ride my bike for about an hour almost every day. I have no pain in getting in and out of the car. I am so grateful that I can do whatever I want to without pain.
I had severe right shoulder pain. I was unable to play tennis or sleep. I am totally pain free ad able to return to all of my previous activities. I am sleeping well also. I received excellent care. Dr. Darr spent a lot of time with me and treated my issue quickly and efficiently. He is a great doctor and extremely knowledgeable! He is also a great listener and very kind.
After hip replacement surgery I have no pain. I am able to do most activities without pain. Medical care was perfect. By all means go to the Darr if you need orthopedic care.
Before surgery I was unable to lift my right leg, bend over, climb a ladder, walk for any amount of time and was always in pain. After surgery I have full range of motion, I can do anything without pain and I feel like the energizer bunny; I can keep going and going and don’t tire. Dr. Darr was very thorough. He said follow his instruction to a tee and I’d be great after and I am. If you want it done right, without worry, see Dr. Darr.
I was able to return the range of motion in my right leg following a right total hip replacement. I did physical therapy without pain. I was appreciative of the amount of time in preparation and expectation of the necessary treatment and what to expect. I would tell my friends that there was no other choice than Dr. Darr and Covington Orthopedic.
I had a total hip replacement of my right hip after 3 years of debilitation pain and an inability to walk for very long, garden, or exercise like I had been doing. I came to Dr. Darr after researching and talking to several people who either knew him or knew of him and highly recommended him. Dr. Darr offered several options for dealing with the pain and after much consideration by me and my family I opted for total hip replacement. I am now almost a year and a half out from surgery and aside from a little weakness in my hip I am able to walk for hours, exercise once again, do my gardening and sit without pain. Dr. Darr spent quite a lot of time with me during that first appointment explaining the different procedures he is able to provide. I felt that he had a genuine interest in getting me back on my feet and appreciated that he did not pressure me into any one procedure but game me time to go away and make up my own mind. I was nervous about being admitted to a smaller hospital (Fairway Medical Center) but it was explained to me that since this is a surgical center the environment is more sterile than at a larger hospital where all types of cases are admitted. The care there was very good. My home care and therapy was extensive and I was back on my feet in about five days; after two weeks I was back to being able to manage on my own. Follow-up with Dr. Darr has given me time to ask questions that pop up along the way. This, in my opinion, is a stellar orthopedic practice. Having worked in medicine I fully appreciate a large practice such as this one that is enormously busy but runs smoothly and has that quality that makes the patient feel like they are the only patient. This is a credit to the ideal treatment model that Dr. Darr has envisioned and executed. I have referred others to Dr. Darr because he is thorough and can offer a whole host of services that other practices do not. He values research which is always of benefit to the future treatment of orthopedic problems. He is also a very skilled surgeon who made such a great improvement in my quality of life. I will always be grateful to him for the good care he has given to me. My family was also very impressed with him when he spoke to them after my surgery was over.
I had the combined stem cell procedure done approximately a year ago.
At the time I was having a lot of difficulty going up and down stairs and having a lot of pain in my knee and some swelling.
Since then, with the follow-ups I have a lot less pain I my knee and can go up and down stairs and mobility is dramatically increased. I would highly recommend this procedure to anyone having difficulty with their knee.
No more pain or hip giving out on me. The medical care was very professional and great service.
