I have used Dr. Blatz several times since 2021 for knee, SI joint, and most recently for tears in my shoulder. I have had PRP with stem cell injections, shock wave and EMTT therapy. I live in SW Washington yet the drive to Lake Oswego is not a problem for me since I have full trust in Dr. Blatz's work. The team at Maple Medical is excellent in my opinion. Cole is responsive to every message- Annee is superb at shockwave therapy focusing on patient comfort yet accomplishing goals specific to therapy needs. Lexi also put me at ease with my procedure and works seamlessly with Dr. Blatz. I consider Dr. Blatz to be an important part of my medical care team along with his staff. In conversations with other people, I have heard various results about experiences in offices that would be closer to my area that provide these services. It has been my experience that Dr. Blatz spends the time with you to answer your questions even throughout the procedure! His knowledge of PRP and his love of his work is evident. I have had excellent results from Dr. Blatz and his team and will continue to use them if the need arises.

Dr. Blatz has given me the best chance to live my life pain free and with the ability to physically do the things I haven’t been able to. He is extremely knowledgeable, patient and kind. I am grateful for all the information he provided when asked, from literature to detailed explanations. I felt so grateful to have found a provider for my condition who is such an expert in his field along with an attentive, caring bedside manner. His entire office staff is just as caring. They are all knowledgeable and excellent at what they do. The connections with each felt personal and the level of communication so reassuring.

I had a stem cell procedure done by Dr. Blatz on one of my knees. Long story short, I had a long history of degenerative issues. I had done lots of PT, am too young for certain other interventions, but it still continued to worsen. After the procedure done by Dr. Blatz, I was able to do simple things like sit and stand and walk on stairs with no pain in my knee (this was after having nearly 10 years of pain). Not only that, but he knew my goals of keeping up certain activities and I progressed back into those activities as he said I would. Having Dr. Blatz do that procedure was 100% the best decision. He and his staff also closely monitored my recovery and rehab. Also, at this point, I think I have interacted with everyone at his office. They are all great. His office is very responsive. He fit me in same day recently on very short notice for an unrelated new injury, and he got the MRI I needed very quickly and the appropriate referrals that I needed. Also, the shockwave treatment they do was great at reducing pain levels for me during recovery.

I’ve had a great experience with Maple Medical and Dr. Blatz. He is extremely thorough in his assessments and takes the time to really understand the root cause of injuries rather than just treating symptoms. I have used shockwave and EMTT treatments and have had excellent results for recovery and pain improvement. His knowledge, attention to detail, and personalized approach really stands out. Highly recommend for anyone looking for thoughtful, cutting-edge care focused on recovery and long-term healing.

I am a professional guitarist. I was unable to play guitar for 15 months due to an injury to my left wrist. I had seen many other doctors and therapists, from chiropractors to acupuncturists to orthopedic surgeons, and nobody could treat my wrist injury. I found Dr Blatz by searching for PRP therapy. He treated my wrist, and in 4 weeks the injury was healed. It's been 2-1/2 years now and I've been playing guitar regularly again all that time without pain. Dr Blatz restored my music career!

My experience with Maple Medical has been great. The front desk folks, Cole & Lexi, are uniformly helpful.......Dr Blatz has been a wonderful ally. He doesn't over-promise and is realistic in our conversations. He has explained that my condition is a stubborn one (Don't I know it!) but from the start told me he believed they could help me and they have. He also is very positive and good humored. The condition has been with me for years so you don't get overnight success and I have had to be patient and now am seeing positive results....... Annee is my clinician and performs the shockwave treatment. She has been very professional and approachable at the same time. Some days it's not a walk in the park but the discomfort is fleeting. For instance, I drive to and from my appointments with no problem and the condition is in my foot. Professional, smart, honest, people is a great place to start. I am now back walking at a pace and distances that is very satisfying and am encouraged that it will continue on a positive trajectory.

I had a torn meniscus, damaged MCL and a damaged ACL. Twelve weeks after my stem cell procedure , my knee is about 85% back to normal. I am able to play golf again and walk without pain. I am very happy with my decision to use Dr. Blatz and his team.

Dr. Blatz and team are amazing. The staff is very helpful and accommodating. Annie is so friendly and really takes the time to address the areas where there is pain. You’re cared for as soon as you step into office.

Insurance & Payments

FAQs

Does Dr. Blatz perform surgery?

Dr. Blatz does not perform surgery but has extensive knowledge of the orthopedic surgery field, as his father was an orthopedic surgeon. During the seven years they practiced together, Drs. Douglas and Brice Blatz revolutionized the integration of orthopedic and regenerative medicine to aid in patient recovery. Although Dr. Douglas Blatz has since retired, Dr. Brice Blatz continues the legacy of identifying when biologic treatments can serve as an alternative to surgical options.

We have relationships with therapists throughout Portland and the surrounding areas who are very familiar with the treatments we provide and the optimal ways to maximize the healing process. We are glad to provide these contacts, who may be part of your regenerative medicine package, through Maple Medical. We will also work with your own therapist utilizing best-practice protocols for a successful outcome.

If you can think of a joint complex, Dr. Blatz and his team have likely treated it! They address a wide variety of joint and joint-related conditions, including osteoarthritis, tendon pathology, ligament disruptions, carpal tunnel syndrome, myofascial syndromes, and some nerve-related issues. Dr. Blatz also evaluates spine-related conditions exclusively for treatment with energy-based therapies.

Dr. Blatz will create an individualized plan for you, drawing on his extensive expertise in orthobiologics, including platelet-rich plasma (PRP), micro-fragmented adipose (MFAT), and bone marrow aspiration concentrate (BMAC). His practice also features cutting-edge energy-based technologies such as shockwave therapy (EPAT and ESWT) and electromagnetic therapy (EMTT). For tendon pathology, Tenex and TenJet are often integrated into treatment plans alongside orthobiologic therapies. Additionally, Dr. Blatz has performed numerous ultra-minimally invasive carpal tunnel release procedures using the Sonex technique.

The number of visits varies depending on your condition, treatment plan, and goals. Some patients see improvement after just a few visits, while others benefit from a series of therapies or a regenerative procedure followed by rehabilitation support.

At Maple Medical, every care plan is personalized. During your consultation, we’ll discuss recommendations based on your diagnosis, lifestyle, activity goals, and severity of symptoms.

For therapies like Shockwave (ESWT) and EMTT, a series of treatments is often recommended for optimal results. Generally, 4 to 6 sessions will be recommended. Regenerative procedures such as PRP or cell therapy may involve fewer visits but include follow-up evaluations and supportive care.

Recovery depends on the treatment performed and the area being treated.

Energy-based therapies like Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) and EMTT generally require little to no downtime, and many patients return to normal activities the same day.

For regenerative procedures such as PRP or cell therapy, mild soreness and temporary inflammation are expected and can be a normal part of the recovery process. Recovery timelines vary, but many patients notice gradual improvements in pain, mobility, strength, and overall function over time.

Our goal is to help patients move better, recover more confidently, and return to the activities that matter most to them.

No imaging is required before your consultation.

If you already have imaging (MRI, X-ray, ultrasound, or CT), we encourage you to bring it for review. However, many patients come to us without prior imaging.

Your consultation includes a comprehensive evaluation and diagnostic ultrasound when appropriate. This helps us better understand the source of pain or dysfunction and determine whether additional imaging may be helpful before treatment.

If advanced imaging is needed, we’ll guide you through the next steps.

Return-to-activity timelines vary depending on the condition treated and the type of therapy performed.

Many patients receiving Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) or EMTT can maintain modified activity during treatment.

After regenerative procedures such as PRP or cell therapy, there is typically a period of protected recovery followed by a gradual return to movement, exercise, and activity.

Physical therapy is an important part of our treatment philosophy and is recommended for every patient receiving care with us to help support recovery, improve function, and optimize outcomes.

Maple Medical is a self-pay practice.

Because many regenerative and advanced energy-based therapies are not typically covered by insurance, patients should expect most treatments to be out-of-pocket expenses.

That said, some office visits or covered services may qualify for patient self-submission for possible reimbursement depending on your plan. We are happy to discuss costs, treatment options, and expectations during your consultation so there are no surprises.

Your initial consultation is $350 and includes:

  1. A 60-minute comprehensive evaluation

  2. Diagnostic ultrasound (when appropriate)

  3. Advanced imaging review (MRI, X-ray, CT, etc., if available)

  4. A discussion of treatment recommendations and candidacy

  5. A trial of Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) and/or EMTT when appropriate

Treatment costs vary depending on the condition being treated and your individualized care plan.

We believe in transparency and will review all treatment options and pricing with you before moving forward, so you can make an informed decision without pressure.

Results vary from person to person and depend on factors such as the severity of the condition, overall health, activity level, and adherence to the treatment plan.

Some patients experience improvements quickly, while others notice gradual changes over time.

Our goal is to help reduce pain, improve mobility and function, support recovery, and help patients get back to the activities they enjoy. While no treatment can guarantee results, we focus on individualized care and evidence-informed therapies designed to support the best possible outcomes for each patient.

Your safety comes first.

Not every patient is a good candidate for regenerative medicine or energy-based therapies, and we believe in being transparent when treatment may not be the right fit.

During your consultation, we carefully review your medical history, imaging, goals, and overall health to determine candidacy. If we do not believe a treatment is likely to benefit you—or if there are safety concerns—we will tell you.

When appropriate, we may recommend additional evaluation, physical therapy, lifestyle modifications, or other treatment pathways that may better support your goals.

Yes.

At Maple Medical, we frequently work with patients before and after surgery to help support recovery and improve function.

Energy-based therapies such as Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) and EMTT can be especially beneficial for post-surgical recovery by helping support circulation, tissue recovery, mobility, and comfort during rehabilitation.

We also work closely with physical therapy, which we view as an essential component of recovery. Whether you are recovering from orthopedic surgery or dealing with lingering pain or stiffness afterward, we will work to determine if our therapies may be appropriate for your situation.

Maple Medical is a concierge regenerative and energy medicine practice focused on personalized, high-quality care.

Unlike traditional clinics where visits may feel rushed, every new patient consultation includes a 60-minute one-on-one evaluation, imaging review, diagnostic ultrasound, and trial of energy-based therapies when appropriate.

Led by Brice W. Blatz, MD, Maple Medical combines advanced regenerative procedures such as PRP and cell therapy with cutting-edge energy-based technologies like Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) and EMTT.

We believe treatment should be individualized, evidence-informed, and focused on helping patients improve movement, recovery, and quality of life—not simply masking symptoms.

Physical therapy is also a key part of our philosophy and is recommended for every patient receiving treatment to help optimize recovery and long-term function.
