Patient Testimonials

  • "I recently saw Dr. Tursi at the Regenerative Health and Wellness Center for PRP injections to treat peroneal tendinitis, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. Dr. Tursi took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, what to expect during and after the injection, and the overall treatment plan for recovery. He answered all my questions clearly and made sure I was comfortable at every step.
