MISSION STATEMENT
The Texas Orthobiologics Institute believes that patients deserve an expert diagnosis and an unbiased orthopedic evaluation of all nonsurgical, surgical, and orthobiologic options appropriate for their condition so that they may make informed healthcare decisions. We will always use the best evidence based orthobiologics and orthopedic surgery to minimize pain and to support the body’s own healing potential. We want to help our patients using the safest, most successful, least invasive, and most cost effective means possible!
The Texas Orthobiologics Institute was founded by Don Buford, MD, a Board Certified and Sports Medicine Fellowship Trained Orthopedic Surgeon. Dr. Buford is the 2021 President of the Interventional Orthobiologics Foundation, a US based nonprofit organization that sponsors structured fellowship level training in orthobiologics.
