For people who still expect a lot from their body
Stay in the shape you've worked for.
Train hard. Travel hard. Ski, lift, ride, compete. Without the shoulder, the knee, or the back deciding what's on the table this year.
Physician-led, non-surgical care for high-functioning adults — former athletes, operators, executives — who've been told surgery is the next step and want to know what's actually reasonable before they take it.
"I wasn't ready to be told to slow down. I needed someone who took what I still wanted to do seriously — and had a real answer."
By design, not by volume
Only a small number of new patients each month.
Personally led
Plans built with Ross VanAntwerp himself, not handed off.
A direct line
Your care team is reachable — not a portal queue.
What you came here hoping for
You didn't come here to be told to slow down.
You came here to find out what's still possible.
- 01
To keep training the way you've always trained
Lifting, running, riding, climbing. Without the shoulder or the knee dictating what stays in the program this season.
- 02
To stay in the sport that's part of who you are
Skiing, jiu-jitsu, tennis, golf, racing. At a level that still feels like you — not a scaled-down version of it.
- 03
To carry a career that's never been gentle on your body
Military, law enforcement, first responder, operator. The miles are real — and the answer shouldn't be to walk them off.
- 04
To stop managing pain quietly in the background
No more pre-game ibuprofen, hidden flare-ups after travel, or planning the week around how the joint will feel on Wednesday.
- 05
To protect the body that has to perform for decades more
You're not winding down. You're trying to extend a peak — and you want care that thinks about your forties and fifties that way.
- 06
To know what's actually reasonable before surgery
A physician-led second look at the shoulder, knee, hip, or back you've been told to operate on — and what's worth trying first.
If any of these is the reason you're here, the right next step is a conversation — not a protocol. That's where every patient at Summerlin Wellness Center begins.
Who you'll actually be seeing
Ross VanAntwerp, D.O., M.P.H.
Every consultation, every evaluation, every treatment decision is made by Ross VanAntwerp himself — dual board-certified in Internal Medicine and Clinical Preventive Medicine, with advanced training from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
His approach is prevention-minded and evidence-informed. The kind of physician who'd rather have a careful conversation than a fast one — and who treats your situation as something specific to you, not a category.
That's the standard the clinic was built around: thoughtful, physician-led care, without the rushed appointments, generic protocols, or assembly-line feel found elsewhere.
Meet Ross VanAntwerpWhat's different here
What you should be able to expect from your care
Most patients arrive here after an experience that felt rushed, generic, or quietly transactional. This is the alternative they were hoping existed.
You'll be evaluated by a physician
Not a technician, sales rep, or mid-level provider. Every plan begins with a one-on-one evaluation by Ross VanAntwerp himself.
You'll be offered options before you're offered a procedure
Advanced regenerative therapies are one path among several — discussed honestly against surgery, medication, and watchful waiting.
Your plan will be built around you
Your symptoms, your imaging, your history, your goals. No protocols pulled off a shelf.
You'll be cared for like a private patient
Concierge-level attention from your first call to your last follow-up — at a pace medicine used to take for granted.
If you recognize yourself here
What patients most often come in to address
Most patients here are high-functioning adults with a specific shoulder, knee, hip, or back issue they're trying to resolve without surgery — and without losing a step.
The shoulder that's quietly limiting your training
Pressing, pulling, swinging, shooting. A careful look at the rotator cuff, labrum, or AC joint before surgery becomes the default recommendation.
Read more →A knee with mileage you can't get back
Years of running, jumping, ruck marches, court sport. Meniscus, cartilage, and chronic wear evaluated with options beyond a scope or replacement.
Read more →An old injury that never fully healed
The shoulder from football. The knee from skiing. The back from a deployment. The thing you've worked around for a decade — re-examined honestly.
Read more →A back that's tightening the radius of your life
For pilots, operators, executives, and lifelong athletes — a second look at chronic low-back and disc pain when injections and PT haven't held.
Read more →A hip that's changing how you move
Early-stage arthritis, labral wear, persistent groin pain — evaluated before joint replacement becomes the only conversation on the table.
Read more →Maintaining the body you've built
For high-functioning patients who'd rather act early than wait for the day a joint forces the decision. Care designed to extend a peak, not manage decline.

When regenerative medicine is worth considering — and when it isn't
You've likely seen regenerative medicine described in places that promised more than medicine can responsibly deliver. The version of this conversation you'll have here is different.
Your situation is reviewed individually — your history, your imaging, your goals, your tolerance for surgery and recovery. Where regenerative options are appropriate, advanced protocols are used under direct physician oversight. Where they aren't, you'll be told plainly.
The aim isn't to convince you of a treatment. It's to give you a clear picture of what's reasonable for your situation — so the decision you make is genuinely yours.
The questions you should be asking
You're right to be careful. So is your physician.
Patients who arrive thoughtfully — with questions about safety, evidence, and what's reasonable to expect — tend to be the patients who do best here. Those questions are welcome.
A physician makes every decision
Your treatment plan isn't delegated to sales staff or technicians. The person with the medical license is the person making the call.
Care stays within responsible practice
The clinic operates within applicable FDA guidelines and the boundaries of physician oversight — not at the edges of what's allowed.
You'll get the honest version
What regenerative medicine can do, what it can't, and where the science actually stands today — without the marketing.
You won't be sold to
No pressure, no upsells, no protocols you didn't agree to. Informed patients tend to make the best decisions for themselves.
Why patients consider this path
What this might mean for your day-to-day
Without surgery
An option to consider before agreeing to something irreversible.
Without general anesthesia
In-office care, performed without the risks and recovery of being put under.
Without disappearing for weeks
Most procedures are designed to fit into your life — not to take it apart.
A faster return to what you do
Many patients return to ordinary activities sooner than with traditional surgical paths.
Built around you, not a protocol
Your plan is shaped by your history, your imaging, and what you're actually trying to get back to.
A real answer to 'what else could I try?'
For patients who want to understand every reasonable option before they decide.
What happens when you reach out
From the first call to the follow-up
You reach out
A short, private inquiry. No portal, no triage queue — a direct line to the clinic.
A real conversation, not a sales call
Before anything is recommended, you'll have an unhurried consultation with Ross VanAntwerp about what's going on and what you're hoping for.
A physician evaluation
A careful clinical look at your situation — your history, your imaging, your function — to determine whether regenerative options are appropriate at all.
A plan that's actually yours
If a regenerative path is reasonable, a personalized plan is built around your goals. If it isn't, you'll be told — and pointed toward what is.
Care that doesn't end at the door
Procedures are performed in the private clinic under direct physician oversight, with attentive follow-up and a direct line to your care team.
What it feels like to be a patient here
The kind of care medicine used to take for granted
You'll know the difference within the first appointment. Most patients describe it, quietly, as relief.
Time you can feel
Appointments built around your situation, not the next slot. Conversations end when they're finished, not when the timer is.
A private setting
A quiet, considered environment designed for discretion and unhurried attention.
Communication that doesn't disappear
Clear notes before, careful explanations during, and proactive check-ins after — from people who already know your case.
A direct line
When you have a question, you reach a person on your care team — not a portal queue.
Patients, in their own words
Why they stayed for the conversation
"From the first conversation, I felt heard. He took the time to actually understand what was going on with my knee — and what I was trying to get back to. No rush, no pressure. I'd forgotten medicine could feel like this."
Summerlin patient
In her 60s
"I'd looked into regenerative medicine before and walked away every time. The clinics felt like sales offices. This was a physician's practice. He told me plainly what was reasonable to consider — and what wasn't."
Las Vegas patient
Former competitive cyclist
"I came in skeptical and left feeling like a patient again, not a transaction. Whatever I decide to do next, I trust that the conversation we had was the honest one."
Henderson patient
After a second opinion
Questions patients ask first
What you're probably wondering
I've heard about regenerative medicine — what does it actually mean here?
It's a category of advanced, non-surgical therapies designed to support your body's own healing processes. At this clinic, those therapies are only used where a physician evaluation suggests they're a reasonable fit for your situation — and always under direct physician oversight.
Is this surgery? Will I be put under?
No. The procedures used are minimally invasive and performed in the private clinic. They don't require general anesthesia, hospital stays, or extended recovery. Where helpful, a local anesthetic is used for your comfort.
How will I know if this is right for me?
Through an unhurried, one-on-one consultation with Ross VanAntwerp. He'll review your history, your imaging, your symptoms, and what you're hoping to get back to — and tell you plainly whether regenerative options are reasonable for your situation.
What should I expect at the first appointment?
A private, unhurried conversation — not a sales pitch. You'll discuss what's been going on, share any prior records or imaging, and leave with an honest read on whether this path makes sense for you.
What kinds of situations do patients usually come in with?
Most often: knee pain, arthritis, back pain, sports or overuse injuries, hip and shoulder concerns, and patients who simply want to protect the mobility they have. Each case is evaluated individually.
What if regenerative medicine isn't the right answer for me?
Then you'll be told. You'll leave with a clearer picture of where you actually are, and — when appropriate — a referral or a recommendation for what to consider next.
