Dr. Rick Ambrozic

I have dedicated my life to helping others and to most importantly "do no harm," by properly weighing the risks and benefits of any medical treatment or procedure. I can candidly say that our treatments in regenerative medicine are not only the most powerful healing I have seen as a physician, but also the safest. In the thousands of treatments that I've personally performed I have not seen one patient have so much as an itch, let alone any more seriously negative side effects.

Dr Ambrozic has coauthored research with some of the world’s top scientists like Dr Neil Riordan, PhD like this study on Stem cells and kidney failure:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9360881/

Part of my passion for regenerative medicine stems from the fact that I am not only a physician, but have been a patient as well. I have suffered from a torn meniscus (cartilage) and ligaments in my knees, slipped and ruptured discs in my neck and back, osteoarthritis, and most recently kidney failure. Regenerative medicine treatments offered by my clinics in the US, along with the groundbreaking treatments offered by my friend Dr. Neil Riordan, has restored my quality of life and further fueled my passion to help others. When seeking a provider-business I believe it adds a great deal of value for the doctors involved to understand not only the scope and breadth of the treatments, but to have first-hand experience of their benefits.
