NY Stem Cell Therapy & Regenerative Medicine

This New York City practice is led by Dr. Thomas Youm, a Board-Certified Orthopaedic Surgeon who specializes in athletic injuries and performs arthroscopic and reconstructive surgery of the shoulder, knee, and hip, with a particular interest in joint preservation for active patients. Physician Assistant Lyndsey Cleary, board-certified by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants, also sees patients as part of the team.

The practice offers a range of nonsurgical biologic treatments, including stem cell therapy, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), ultrasound-guided injections, viscosupplementation, osteoarthritis treatments, and stem cell storage and cryopreservation. Stem cell therapy is discussed specifically for the hip, knee, and shoulder, and orthobiologic approaches — including cell therapy, PRP, and matrix grafts — are also described for elbow injuries and conditions such as osteoarthritis.

These treatments are described as cutting-edge, nonsurgical options intended to alleviate pain and disability from musculoskeletal injuries and conditions, enhance tissue healing and regeneration, and improve joint health. Orthobiologic materials used may be derived from the patient's own body or from a donor.
