What Patients Say About Dr. Amara Okonkwo

Treated: Knee Cartilage Restoration (PRP)

“I was told by two orthopedic surgeons elsewhere that I needed surgery and had to stop running. Dr. Okonkwo conducted an ultrasound-guided PRP injection and built an intensive rehab program. Nine months later, I completed the Big Sur Marathon completely pain-free.”
