About Dr. Cherdack
With over 20 years of clinical experience and national media recognition, Dr. Joel Cherdack leads a new generation of non-surgical healing in regenerative medicine. As the founder and Medical Director of Denver Regenerative Medicine, he has dedicated his career to helping patients avoid unnecessary surgeries and discover lasting relief through the body’s own healing power.
Dr. Cherdack’s journey into regenerative medicine began with a clear philosophy: first and foremost, do no harm. This principle guides every treatment decision and every patient interaction at his clinic.
The Turning Point
Dr. Cherdack’s path took a transformative turn in 2014 when he witnessed something extraordinary. A patient with a severely degenerated knee—who had already been told that joint replacement was their only option—underwent what was then considered an experimental stem cell procedure. Within months, the improvement in their mobility, pain levels, and quality of life was undeniable.
This experience led Dr. Cherdack to establish Denver Regenerative Medicine in 2015, where he combined the latest advancements in biologic therapy with a patient-centered, whole-body approach. He saw regenerative medicine as a paradigm shift in orthopedic medicine—one that utilizes the body’s inherent healing power to restore cartilage, tendon, and muscle tissue rather than simply managing symptoms or resorting to invasive surgery.
Pioneer in Dual-Source Stem Cell Therapy
Dr. Cherdack is recognized as a pioneer in implementing a dual-source stem cell approach, which combines adipose-derived (body-fat) and bone marrow-derived stem cells. This innovative method—unique to Denver Regenerative Medicine—creates a more powerful regenerative solution than single-source treatments, helping patients get better almost 30% faster with stronger repair and less residual pain.
His commitment to precision is evident in every procedure. Dr. Cherdack emphasizes the use of real-time ultrasound guidance for all regenerative injections, ensuring stem cells, PRP, and other biologic materials reach the exact site of injury. When you’re working with your body’s own healing components, precision matters.
Areas of Expertise
Dr. Cherdack specializes in treating conditions that limit people’s lives—helping them regain mobility and avoid surgeries they were told were inevitable:
- Stem Cell Therapy for joint degeneration, arthritis, and sports injuries
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections for accelerated healing
- acCELLerate™ Therapy combining dual-source stem cells and PRP
- Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and Testosterone Therapy
- Regenerative treatments for rotator cuff tears, ligament damage, and cartilage repair
- Shockwave Therapy for soft tissue healing
Dr. Cherdack has treated thousands of patients with conditions ranging from early osteoarthritis to severe “bone-on-bone” cases, helping them avoid painful and unnecessary surgeries while restoring their quality of life.
Recognized Authority & Media Presence
Dr. Cherdack’s expertise has earned him recognition as a trusted voice in regenerative medicine:
- Regular guest medical expert on The Tom Martino Show, a syndicated daily radio program where he discusses regenerative medicine and non-surgical alternatives
- Featured medical expert on NBC’s 9News in Denver, educating the public about advanced treatment options
Dr. Cherdack is passionate about educating patients and the public about the benefits of regenerative medicine. He believes in transparency, honesty, and helping people understand what regenerative medicine can—and can’t—do for their specific condition.
Philosophy & Approach to Care
Dr. Cherdack’s academic background uniquely positions him to understand healing at both the cellular and clinical levels. His molecular biology training informs his understanding of how the body works at its most fundamental level, while his clinical expertise allows him to apply that knowledge to real patient care.
His philosophy is straightforward: Help the body do what it was designed to do—heal. Rather than relying on barbaric orthopedic surgeries and weeks of painful rehabilitation, Dr. Cherdack uses the body’s own regenerative and restorative components to create lasting repair.
Every treatment plan Dr. Cherdack creates is tailored to the individual, based on their unique needs and the latest evidence. He looks at every patient individually and designs a program specific to their condition, goals, and healing potential. Because every patient is different, every treatment plan should be too.
His role is to guide patients with expertise, compassion, and integrity, every step of the way—offering them a smarter way to heal and a better way to live.
