Your Body Deserves better

Dr. Blatz is board-certified through the NBPAS in Family Medicine and Sports Medicine. He completed his sports medicine training at Stanford University, where he later served as faculty, training new fellows in ultrasound, orthobiologics, and shockwave treatment. Dr. Blatz continues to educate physicians and providers at conferences and through webinars worldwide. Additionally, he serves as core faculty for The Orthobiologic Institute (TOBI), a leading organization in educating on cutting-edge, natural alternatives to surgery.

Expertise in shockwave therapy spans nearly a decade for Dr. Blatz. He first incorporated this exciting new technology to assist recovery for surgical patients which he and his father had operated on when they were in practice together in the Bay Area. Since then, this technology has expanded, as have the ways it can be combined with the latest in regenerative medicine treatment programs. Dr. Blatz has been an international leader in this space and recently launched the American Society for Medical Shockwave Treatment (ASMST) and is currently serving as the president.

During his sports medicine fellowship at Stanford University, Dr. Blatz created and developed the ultrasound curriculum still used by all incoming fellows today. Recognizing its importance over a decade ago, Dr. Blatz foresaw how ultrasound would revolutionize sports medicine. Now, most training programs include mandatory ultrasound education. Beyond diagnostic applications, Dr. Blatz leverages imaging modalities, including ultrasound, to ensure precise delivery of medicine to targeted tissues. His expertise extends to biologic treatments, where he determines the most effective applications to maximize the likelihood of successful outcomes.

Technological advancement allows for the minimally-invasive removal of diseased tendon tissue, providing the perfect environment for placement of cell therapy. This combination promotes the repair of chronic tendon problems with improved recovery and a viable alternative to surgery. Dr. Blatz has extensive experience with these devices and will counsel each individual patient on the best approach for their tendon treatment.
