What Patients Are Saying*

I recently received a PRP injection from Dr. Lewis to address pain and limitations in my surgically repaired knee. Dr. Lewis took the time to thoroughly explain the PRP injection procedure, answering all of my questions with patience and expertise. His confidence and reassuring demeanor instilled a sense of trust, allowing me to feel comfortable throughout the treatment. Within about 8 weeks post-injection, I was back on my feet and actively engaging in the activities I love with greater than 80% relief. The PRP injection not only expedited my recovery but also significantly improved the way my knee feels. I currently have close to 100% relief of pain. I couldn't be happier with the results. Thanks to Dr. Lewis and his team, I am now able to fully enjoy my active lifestyle again, feeling great and with renewed confidence in the health of my knee. Northwest Center for Regenerative Medicine delivers care with professionalism and compassion. I highly recommend Dr. Lewis and his team to anyone seeking greater function and pain relief!

Dr Lewis and his Regenexx team in Spokane were delightful during my 4 days there. I received stem cell and PRP treatments and my knee has been giving me exciting days since week 4.5. I have days when I feel remarkable improvements, and some with slight setbacks, but overall it's been a most positive trend. I'm at week 9 and enjoying very little pain and more stability, and I'm working on finding better balance again. I'm still a ways away from putting on a ski touring pack and heading up big slopes, but I trust I will keep on feeling more exciting new improvements. Thanks so much for all your great work!!

Dr. Lewis is great! Very detailed and thorough during his consultations and is very knowledgable. The office has a great atmosphere and they make you feel very welcome/comfortable during every aspect of the treatment.

My husband is a firefighter, 49 years old, and has had shoulder pain for years. He had to have surgery, on his right shoulder which only temporarily took the pain away and involved 3 months of recovery, intense pain, and physical therapy. We were thinking he was going to have to have surgery on his left shoulder this time and on his right again; however, we heard of Regenexx (Dr. Lewis), so we thought we'd give that a try. My husband now has zero pain in his left shoulder and rarely feels pain in the right, which is still improving, so we are excited to see what the next year brings. He said his left shoulder feels like it did before he injured it and his right feels almost as good as new again. Previously he experienced pain 100% of the time in both. Regenexx has been a huge blessing in our lives! He is enjoying life again and feeling better than ever!

I wanted to take the time and set out my experience with Dr. Lewis and Northwest Center for Regenerative Medicine. I first received PRP injections 12 years ago in Broomfield Colorado at the Centeno-Schultz Clinic where the Regenexx system was developed. One of My Doctors recommended Regenexx, as it had worked for him on his Left knee. Throughout out my life I have been extremely active, I played 30 years of competitive Handball, running, weight training, Biking, Kayaking, Judo. At 67 it caught up with me, My Doctors recommended surgery to repair the damage. I have had enough surgeries (ACL Left knee repair, Right Achilles Tendon Repair, Bi-lateral hernias, Steroid injections) and needed to find an alternative to months of down time and wanted to avoid post-surgical complications. The PRP and Stem Cell injections were successful at re-growing cartilage in my Left Shoulder, and eliminating my neck pain, dizziness, and balance problems. For two years I was symptom free, however age and activity caught up with me again. Four years ago, we moved to Coeur d Alene full time. It’s difficult and expensive to travel to Colorado for treatment. Centeno-Shultz has been training Doctors for several years with their advanced PRP and Stem Cell Treatments. I found Northwest Center for Regenerative Medicine and Dr. Lewis 3 years ago in the Regenexx directory. Two and a half years ago I set up an appointment and had a detailed evaluation of my physical condition. Dr. Lewis performed PRP in my cervical and Lumbar spine. I was back to normal in about two months. However, nothing last forever. A lot of my problems returned. I went back to Dr. Lewis February 1, 2022 and had a second treatment. I am two weeks out and feeling much better. Starting my rehabilitation schedule next week. I completely recommend Dr. Lewis and the Staff at Northwest Center for Regenerative Medicine, they are extremely component, professional and treat everyone with respect.

Knee replacement was the only choice I was offered- twice. That just was not the best choice for me personally. I did my research and chose to see if stem cell regeneration would work. I had very high hopes- and Dr Lewis and crew came through with flying colors. It’s just been two weeks since my procedure and I am very pleased with results. Hoping for continued improvement- but I’m walking, climbing stairs and have no pain. Eight week mark. I have finished six weeks of physical therapy. I’m calling this my own little miracle. Every day is better than yesterday and I know that progression will continue for months to come If you are having joint difficulty do yourself a favor and check out Regenerex before you let the surgeons replace your joint. It’s heavenly to be walking, climbing, squatting and exercising with no pain Special thanks to Dr Lewis, Johanna and crew.

Dr. Lewis and his well qualified Team At Northwest Center of Regenerative Medicine, were more than helpful and informative about each procedure that was going to be done to help my Right Knee. They went through each step that was going to take place. During each procedure the Team and Dr. Lewis asked calmly how I was and that really kept me very calm and relaxed. It has been 2 months since my procedure and I am really feeling very pain free and feel the great outcome each day. I can finally do things bending and walking up and downstairs that I have not been able to do in years. I recommend everyone go with this procedure regardless of age, It is so worth it.

Dr. Lewis and staff are so very kind, and the stem cell process and procedure worked like a charm for me! After a year and a half of not walking, not exercising, and not existing- I just dealt with doctors telling me my only hope was disc replacements or spinal fusions. I finally met with an orthopedic surgeon in Denver that led me to Dr. Lewis and the regenerative medicine he provides. I will never look back! Within DAYS of the procedure I was able to do things I hadn’t in years, and still find myself slowing down to make sure I’m giving myself healing time because I feel phenomenal ALL the time!!! Regenerative medicine is the future! Look into this before steroids, fusions, or something else synthetic! Absolutely adore this team!! Ps: my husband was injured in the Gulf war when he was in the Air Force and was in constant pain for decades. Dr. Lewis and his team has provided his ONLY constant relief and healing ❤️‍🩹!! We’re both looking forward to what our future looks like!

I have had a right knee and left hip replacement and am now using PRP injections in my left knee and right ankle to prevent any more surgery. After the injections, my joints feel amazing - much less pain and stiffness. The staff at Northwest Center for Regenerative Medicine have been so helpful in giving me all the information I need to help heal my joints. I would highly recommend them to anyone that wants to stay active and not let arthritis dictate their lifestyle.

Dr.Lewis & his staff are amazing!! Not being a candidate for surgery, nor wanting to have surgery done, I was introduced to Regenexx. I will admit that I was very nervous, that is , until I met Dr. Lewis & his staff. Greatly appreciated their caring & concern for me. I now have had 3 PRP procedures done on different body parts. I haven't missed a day of work either. This amazes me that a person can have PRP or Stem Cell therapy now instead of surgery. If you have been told you need surgery, please call Regenexx & talk to them about your options. I am 1 year out from my 1st procedure & my shoulder is doing great! No pain.

I had a partial tear in my bicep tendon and did not have time to recover from shoulder surgery, which is generally 4 months. I opted instead to have stem cell injections. Dr. Lewis and his staff were very professional and explained the procedure thoroughly. After 2 months, I am back to swimming a mile every other day and bicycling almost every day. I would highly recommend Northwest Center for Regenerative Medicine to anyone who is a good candidate for this procedure.

Dr. Lewis has helped me get back to my active lifestyle! I was having so much pain in my lower back I was not able to garden or work on improvements to my property. At one point I could barely walk and in so much pain I had to be taken to ER for pain injections! I heard about Dr. Lewis from a co-worker and scheduled an appointment. Dr. Lewis evaluated my condition and recommended treatment. After the treatment he recommended (3 months ago) I am shoveling, fence building, moving bales of hay without even thinking about my back! NO PAIN! THANK YOU DR. LEWIS! I was so worried I would have to have surgery. That is no longer a worry!

Dr. Lewis and Amanda were always very professional and courteous. He did a thorough examination and made recommendations for the areas to receive platelet injections. The primary goals were my knees and neck with improvement in all those areas. I also had injections in one hip and shoulder but had minimal to no pain relief. However, am very grateful for some reduction in pain which is more than I an say for many other medical procedures I've had! Thank you Dr. Lewis and Amanda!

I am a 62 year old male patient that has been very active throughout my life. In the past several years I noticed an overwhelming increase in the pain I feel in my knees and shoulders. The pain in my knees, primarily my left knee, had gotten to the point where it was interfering with my day to day living, dramatically limiting me to what I could do. I had received some information on regenerative therapy and did some researching on my own. I contacted Northwest Center for Regenerative Therapy and set up an appointment to have a procedure on my left knee. On August 9, 2018 Dr. Lewis performed a PRP procedure on my left knee. It has been five months and I could not be happier, I not only am pain free but I have my life back. I'm hiking regularly and I work out at the gym almost daily. Thank you Dr. Lewis for giving me my life back it has been nothing short of miraculous. P.S I just recently had both my shoulders done and can't wait to see how they turn out.

I had my nine week follow up appointment today after having stem cell replacement therapy for my knee. I am so thankful for Dr Lewis, his awesome team, and this procedure! Prior to the stem cell therapy I could often barely walk. Today I am pain free, and my knee feels like it did 20 years ago! I can now sleep again at night without pain or discomfort which is HUGE, and am back in the outdoors again doing the things I love. So grateful to Northwest Center for Regenerative Medicine and their staff! I highly recommend them!
