The Regen Doc™: who is Dr. Aneesh Garg, and what does the name mean?

The Regen Doc™ is Aneesh Garg, DO, CAQ, a double board-certified sports medicine physician in Boulder, Colorado, and the name is a trademark that identifies him. He founded and directs the American Shockwave Training Institute, where he trains other clinicians and physicians on focused shockwave, and he hosts The Regen Doc Podcast. At Dynamic Athlete he personally performs every PRP and stem cell procedure. The name is a promise about how you are treated: find the real source of the pain, then help it heal without surgery.

You searched a name, so you probably want to know if there is a real physician behind it. There is. Here is who he is, and what he will and will not do for you.

What the name promises you

Find the real source first

Most people who reach us have already been told what is wrong, and many have already been told they need surgery. The first job is to find out if that is true. One of our patients came in told she needed a knee replacement; the source of her pain was her SI joint. The name means we look before we treat.

Heal without surgery when it is possible

Regenerative medicine is about helping the tissue you have heal: high-dose PRP, stem cell therapy, and focused shockwave, used alone or together in our Dynamic protocols. Over 90% of our patients self-report a 75% or greater improvement, all without surgery. When surgery is the right answer, we say so.

Buy back time

Pain costs you seasons, trips, sleep and the version of you that moves without thinking. Insurance does not pay for most of what we do, so the value has to be real: fewer months lost, a faster return to what you love, and a plan that does not end in the operating room if it does not have to.

The physician is the one in the room

The Regen Doc™ is not a marketing character. It is the physician who examines you, reads your imaging, performs your injection under live ultrasound, and answers your follow-up. That continuity is the whole point of the name. Read his full background on Dr. Aneesh Garg’s page, or hear him explain the research on The Regen Doc Podcast.

The credentials behind the name

Each of these can be checked. That is the standard we want you to hold any regenerative physician to.

  • Double board-certified in Sports Medicine and Internal Medicine (CAQ in Sports Medicine)
  • Residency at Yale-New Haven Hospital; fellowship at the American Sports Medicine Institute (Andrews Sports Medicine)
  • Founder and medical director, American Shockwave Training Institute (ASTI); ISMST-certified; member, ASMST
  • Teaching faculty, Regenerative Medicine Training Institute and Rocky Vista University
  • Team physician for USA Hockey and U.S. Soccer; host of The Regen Doc Podcast

Before you book, ask

  1. Who actually performs my procedure, and are they a physician?
  2. Is my injection done under live ultrasound, or by feel?
  3. Can I verify the credentials on your website somewhere independent?

Why a trademark matters to a patient

Anyone can call themselves a regen doctor. A trademark means the name belongs to one physician and one standard of care, so when you hear it, you know exactly who you are getting.
