Stem Cell Therapy in Southlake, Texas

Why Southlake

Southlake sits in northeast Tarrant County, at the convergence of TX-114, North Carroll Avenue, and the corridor that connects DFW International Airport to the wider metroplex. It's also home to Apex Regenerative Institute, a physician-led clinic offering stem cell therapy, PRP, exosome therapy, ketamine therapy, softwave shockwave, and photobiomodulation.

Apex is at 2111 Kirkwood Blvd, Suite 110b. The Kirkwood Boulevard corridor is a quiet medical and professional district within easy walking distance of Town Square and the broader Southlake commercial area. The clinic itself has free surface parking, step-free entry, and a setup designed for considered medical conversations rather than rushed transactions.

If you live or work in Southlake or the surrounding northeast Tarrant communities, this guide explains what we offer, what to expect, and how to think about whether we're the right clinic for your case.

What we treat

Apex focuses on the regenerative medicine indications where the published evidence supports a defensible protocol. Our typical patient population includes:

Orthopedic conditions. Knee osteoarthritis, rotator cuff tendinopathy, hip osteoarthritis, lumbar facet and disc pain, lateral and medial epicondylitis (tennis and golfer's elbow), plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, patellar tendinopathy. Image-guided regenerative procedures for each.

Avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head. A specific indication where early-stage cellular therapy may delay or prevent the structural progression that leads to hip replacement.

Treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, and chronic pain. Subanesthetic IV ketamine therapy in a supervised clinical setting.

Photonic and acoustic adjuncts. Class IV laser, LED photobiomodulation, and Softwave shockwave for tendinopathies and tissue priming.

We don't offer wellness-tier IV drips, "anti-aging" exosome infusions, packages priced by visit count, or off-label cellular therapy for conditions where the evidence isn't there yet. The full list of what we treat (and what we don't) is on our about page.

What makes the Southlake location useful

A few practical considerations for Southlake-area patients:

No metroplex driving. If you live in Southlake, Westlake, Trophy Club, Roanoke, Keller, Grapevine, or Colleyville, the clinic is within 10 to 20 minutes of your home or office. For patients who've been managing chronic pain alongside busy lives, the convenience of nearby care is real.

DFW International Airport access. For out-of-state patients flying in, the airport is 10 to 15 minutes away. For local patients with family or business travel needs, scheduling around flights is easy.

Quiet medical district. The Kirkwood corridor isn't a hospital campus. There's no parking garage, no shuttle, no walk through a complex of buildings. You park, walk in, and you're at the front desk.

Time for the consultation. Our visit is designed around a 60 to 90 minute consultation that includes history, exam, imaging review, and a written plan. The clinic isn't run to push 30-minute appointments; the schedule is built around the time the conversation actually needs.

Who comes to us from the Southlake area

A few patient profiles we see commonly from Southlake and the surrounding communities:

The 55-year-old executive with a busy travel schedule and chronic knee pain. Often referred by primary care or a sports medicine clinician after conservative care has plateaued. Goal: maintain function and activity, delay knee replacement if possible.

The Trophy Club empty-nester with bilateral hip pain that's starting to affect daily walking. Often coming in to evaluate options before scheduling a surgical consult.

The Colleyville parent of a high school athlete with chronic patellar tendinopathy. Often referred by the team physical therapist after conservative care alone hasn't fully resolved symptoms.

The Westlake retired physician with chronic lateral epicondylitis after years of golf and pickleball. Multiple prior cortisone shots, now interested in a protocol that doesn't keep degrading the tendon.

The Grapevine schoolteacher with persistent plantar fasciitis after years of standing on hard floors. Combined shockwave plus PRP protocol typically appropriate.

The common thread: chronic conditions that have outlived conservative care, in patients who want a real diagnostic workup before a recommendation, and who value being seen by the same physician throughout the care episode.

How a typical visit goes

For most new patients in Southlake:

You book a consultation via our online form or by calling (972) 768-2328. Our intake team sends a brief health history form and asks you to upload recent imaging.

On the visit day, you arrive at 2111 Kirkwood Blvd, Suite 110b. Free parking right outside. Check-in at the front desk. A medical assistant places you in a consultation room. Vitals.

Dr. Abdullah comes in. The visit runs 60 to 90 minutes: history, focused exam, imaging review with you in the room, discussion of options, written plan.

You leave with a written treatment plan documenting the diagnosis, the recommended protocol, the cost, and the expected outcome. You take it home.

If you choose to proceed, treatment is scheduled at a later visit, usually 2 to 4 weeks out. This gap is intentional; we want considered decisions, not rushed ones.

If the right answer is to recommend against treatment (about one in five consultations), we tell you that, explain why, and point you toward the next step (PT, surgical consult, another specialist, watchful waiting).

For more detail on what the visit is like, see the first consultation guide.

What sets the Southlake practice apart

A few specific aspects of how we operate:

Real diagnostic workup. Every patient gets the same intake: history, exam, imaging review, written plan. The protocol falls out of the workup. Not the other way around.

Image-guided procedures. Every joint, tendon, and spinal injection is done under real-time ultrasound guidance. No blind injections. (More on why in why image-guided.)

Allogeneic umbilical-derived MSCs. Younger, more potent donor cells from FDA-registered processors. We've explained the cell source choice in the allogeneic vs autologous guide.

Transparent pricing. Published rates in our coverage guide. Quoted in writing during your consultation. No today-only deals, no membership bundles, no upsells at the procedure.

Willingness to say no. About one in five consultations end with us recommending against the procedure. We publish examples in cases we said no to.

Hospitalist-physician founder. Dr. Abdullah is an active hospitalist in addition to running Apex. The continued exposure to severe disease and complex patients informs the way we practice outpatient regenerative medicine.

A short note from Dr. Abdullah

Southlake has been the right city to build this practice in. The community supports careful, patient-centered medical work, and the location gives us reasonable access to patients from across the metroplex and from outside Texas. If you've been considering regenerative care and live in the area, the easiest first step is a consultation. The fee is the same whether you become a treatment patient or not, the workup will tell you what's actually wrong and what's worth doing, and you leave with a written plan you can think about. That's the practice we're building, and we'd like to meet you.
