"Dr. McLaughlin is a perceptive, responsive, progressive physician. He truly listens and is responsive to patient needs. He has, for years, effectively helped me manage the pain from major spine (and now knee) issues. I could not offer a higher review. I would not even consider another specialist in Durango - and he would be as highly considered in a major metropolitan area."

"The stem cell therapy has been extremely helpful. Bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) injections coupled with staying active has allowed me to maintain the lifestyle I'm accustomed to. Dr. McLaughlin and his staff are skilled at the craft, great knowledge of the latest treatment data. The clinic is professional and comfortable, making the process very easy. I recommend their clinic wholeheartedly if you are considering stem cell treatment."

"I've had a bad left shoulder for quite sometime. I've been told by many doctors that a shoulder replacement is what the future holds. I found out about Dr. McLaughlin's Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) procedure and figured I would try it....Putting off a shoulder replacement was the goal. I had the procedure done in April. No pain during the shot. Dr. McLaughlin talked me through it and it was great. Now, in September, my shoulder is feeling good. I will consider another shot if and when the shoulder cries out for it. I am very happy with the results so far. Enjoying the gym and golf."

"I had my knee injected with stem cells 5 months ago. The procedure was not difficult to go through. I would say my knee is 70 percent better. I know I’ll need a total knee but hopefully I’ve prolonged it 5 years."
