Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Life changing outcome
I am 54 year young active and athletic male that was facing an inevitable knee replacement. I found Dr Yeargan after relocating to Wilmington, and was fascinated by the NAMAD procedure; grow your own cartilage and skip the knee replacement! I had procedure on Presidents day 2022. It's July'22 and I've been pain free, no swelling, and back to most of the activities I enjoy—caveat I stopped high impact training such as running. Back in the gym with no limits on range of motion or pushing heaving weights, taking long walks, yard work, cycling, etc. Check him out at Carolina Joint Arthritis.

I am so grateful. I was in a car accident three years ago and have had shoulder pain since. I saw Dr. Yeargen and he suggested I get an MRI on my shoulder as I could have a torn rotator cuff. I did. Finally a diagnosis! Honestly, I have been to at least 10 other doctors and mentioned this every time.

Was scheduled to have a knee replacement in August 2018 but decided to try stem cell therapy on my knee. Stem cells were taken out of my hip and injected into the knew. I limped in and was able to walk out. Over a year later I am still pain free with a normal quality of life. Cannot believe this procedure isn't covered by insurance but so happy I had it done.

So I have severe pain in my hip and planned to have a replacement. Dr. Yeargan looked at the x-ray and sent me for a deep shot into my SI joint. This relieved the pain for 3 weeks, clarifying that the problem was not the hip. I will now have stem cell treatment in May instead of a hip replacement.
