Dr. Paul was a full partner in a prestigious Orthopedic Surgery group in San Francisco for 10 years but recognized the inherent fragmented limitation of practicing regenerative orthopedics in a primarily surgical practice. He left in favor of a practicing the highest level of regenerative medicine in a more comprehensive non-surgical but multi-disciplinary approach, hopefully to prevent the need for surgery.

Dr. Paul is a pioneer and expert in the new emerging field of Regenerative Interventional Orthopedics and the use of autologous cellular products to promote healing non-surgically. His first PRP injection was 2008 and has since done thousands of these as well as bone marrow and adipose derived regenerative medicine based therapies since then. He specializes in the knee, hip, shoulder, elbow, ankle, foot and spine. He has developed mastery over 12 years of intense study and practice of musculoskeletal ultrasound and performs many high resolution ultrasound guided diagnostic and therapeutic procedures to alleviate pain and promote healing.

He is an expert in treating chronic refractory tendon problems, using Platelet Rich Plasma, Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrates (BMAC), Adipose tissue transfer, Dextrose Prolotherapy. He has an academic research interest in regenerative medicine and has been published numerous times in this space. He is also an expert at ultrasound guided nerve blocks for pain relief during procedures which helps limit or eliminate the use of narcotic opioid use.

Notably, Dr. Paul is a member of a national panel of experts (SAFE) in the regenerative medicine space that recently put out the world’s first consensus guidelines in the safe and ethical use of bone marrow aspirate concentrates for orthopedic use. The panel is actively working on and will publish future consensus guidelines for adipose, placental allografts, exosomes and other regenerative therapies. He is also on several national and international teaching faculties and is an active poster and thought leader on LinkedIn’s Biologic Orthopedic Society group.

Dr. Paul also performs TENEX and TENJET ultrasound guided micro-invasive tendon/fascia debridement including but not limited to the achilles, plantar fascia, rotator cuff, patellar tendons for severe tendinosis/tendonitis. He also specializes in innovative carpal tunnel, cubital tunnel, tarsal tunnel and occipital nerve hydro-dissections, a potential treatment alternative to surgical nerve releases.
