One of our patients walking in the office four weeks after having bilateral hip replacement. "I walked around in pain for almost 10 years and every other doctor I saw never wanted to do the surgery. But when I saw Dr. Buch, he didn’t hesitate. The surgery went perfectly and my recovery is going great. Dr. Buch is professional but with a great sense of humor, making the experience more comfortable. I am so glad that I choose Dr. Buch for my double hip replacement." Scott B.

While stem cells show promising results for certain disorders countless clinics in Dallas are charging patients a premium to provide stem cell injections for severe bone on bone arthritis or mechanical joint issues. Do not be like Norman and respond to a stem cell clinic advertisement, go to a trusted medical doctor! There are many factors that should be evaluated and considered before offering or receiving stem cell treatment. If you are considering stem cell treatment schedule a virtual or in person consultation with Dr. Buch to determine if you are a candidate.

In the last few years, more than 900 private stem cell clinics have opened in the US. They claim stem cells will cure everything from arthritis to macular degeneration to autism to erectile dysfunction. The FDA says many of those claims are just not true, and none of the clinics have its approval.

Not all stem cell treatments are equal! If you heard the stories, promises, and outright lies countless patients are being told in regard to "cures" and outcomes of their stem cell therapies. Many "stem cell clinics” are taking advantage of the “hype” around stem cells and avoiding regulation by falsely marketing illegal and potentially harmful products to patients seeking cures for disorders, including COVID-19. If you are interested in regenerative medicine read this statement and seek treatment from a trusted Medical Doctor.

There is strong interest among patient and medical communities alike in the potential of stem cell therapies to treat many diseases and medical conditions for which current treatment options are limited.

Many patients have questioned proceeding with surgery during this time as they are unsure of their options and current safety measures. One option we offer our patients is outpatient joint replacement at select facilities who do not accept COVID-19 inpatients. This significantly reduces your time at the facility and allows you to recover at home instead of the hospital. Experts provide additional information on joint replacement surgery during COVID-19.

Joint replacement surgery can relieve chronic joint pain but many patients are delaying procedures because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Why do we tell patients to quit smoking if they plan to have surgery? A study released earlier this year found that every tobacco-free week after four weeks can improve health outcomes by 19%. This improvement most likely occurs due to increased blood flow throughout the body. Besides damaging the lungs, smoking can decrease oxygen levels, increase the risk for heart issues, weaken your immune system, decrease wound healing, and increases the risk of other complications following surgery.

Yet More Data on Smoking and Poor Outcomes

To these brave men and women we want you to know that we remember your many sacrifices and we thank you for protecting our country, our people, and our freedom." President Ronald Regan

Not long ago patients undergoing hip or knee replacement experienced a 5-10 day stay in the hospital and often times were discharged to a rehabilitation facility. Today, the majority of patients stay one night and many go home within hours of their hip or knee replacement.

Sponsored by Steward Medical GroupJoint replacement surgery used to mean long incisions, lengthy hospital stays, additional inpatient rehabilitation, and using a walker or cane for several months. In many ways, the solution almost became more bothersome than the problem for some patients.That was th...
