This is a short YouTube patient testimonial featuring Jason Paul Ermes (age 49) describing chronic left-knee arthritic pain that prevented him from climbing ladders and sleeping. He received knee arthroscopy (scope) and regenerative therapies—PRP and bone marrow aspirate concentrate (described as a stem-cell procedure)—and reports quicker-than-expected recoveries (knee scope ~10 days; PRP a few days; bone marrow: back by end of day) and significant pain relief, now able to run and climb ladders. He endorses Dr. Schacter and encourages others to try the treatment.
