Our Care Model
At Detroit Biologics, our direct-pay model allows us to provide the kind of personalized orthopedic and sports medicine care that can be difficult to deliver within the time constraints of a traditional insurance-based practice—more time with your physician, greater access, transparent pricing, and individualized treatment plans.
This approach allows Dr. Worley to focus on what matters most: understanding the root cause of your pain, performing a comprehensive evaluation, carefully reviewing your imaging, utilizing diagnostic ultrasound when appropriate, and developing an evidence-informed treatment plan tailored to your goals. Our mission is simple—to help you recover, stay active, and avoid unnecessary surgery whenever possible.
Care Designed Around You
Every aspect of our practice is designed to give patients something that has become increasingly difficult to find in modern healthcare: time.
Time to listen. Time to educate. Time to review imaging carefully. Time to answer questions. Time to create a treatment plan that reflects your goals and lifestyle.
Our mission is simple: to help you recover, optimize your performance, remain active, and avoid unnecessary surgery through compassionate, evidence-informed, patient-centered care.
More Time With Your Physician
Your first visit is a comprehensive 60-minute evaluation with Dr. Worley. This appointment includes a detailed medical history, physical examination, diagnostic ultrasound when indicated, review of your imaging, and an in-depth discussion of your diagnosis and treatment options.
Rather than simply treating symptoms, our goal is to identify the root cause of your pain and develop a personalized treatment plan that empowers you to make informed decisions about your care.
Imaging Review Included
Your initial evaluation includes review of available imaging, including MRI, X-ray, or CT when relevant. If additional MRI review is needed after your visit, Dr. Worley will personally review your imaging and follow up to finalize your treatment recommendations at no additional charge.
In many cases, this provides the value of two visits in one — an in-depth consultation plus a dedicated imaging review.
Transparent Pricing
We believe patients deserve to understand the cost of their care before making medical decisions. Our pricing is straightforward, with clearly listed consultation fees, procedures, and membership options—so there are no surprise bills or unexpected charges.
We also accept Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) for eligible services and have financing plans through Cherry.
Direct Physician Access
Patients at Detroit Biologics work directly with Dr. Worley, a double board-certified physician in Emergency Medicine and Sports Medicine with advanced fellowship training in interventional orthobiologics.
This means your care is guided by the physician evaluating you, performing your procedure, and helping you understand your recovery plan.
Evidence-Informed Treatment
At Detroit Biologics, every treatment recommendation is guided by the best available scientific evidence, clinical expertise, and your individual diagnosis and goals.
Insurance coverage and scientific evidence are not the same thing. While insurance companies determine what they will reimburse, medical evidence is established through clinical research. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP), for example, has been evaluated in more than 160 randomized controlled trials across a variety of musculoskeletal conditions. Although insurance coverage remains limited for many indications, published research supports its use for specific conditions and patient populations.
Our goal is not to recommend more procedures—it's to recommend the right treatment. Some patients improve with education, activity modification, physical therapy, or time. Others may benefit from regenerative medicine. And when surgery offers the best opportunity for a successful outcome, Dr. Worley will discuss that openly and help guide you to the appropriate specialist.
Every recommendation is made with one goal in mind: helping you achieve the best possible outcome through honest, evidence-informed, patient-centered care.
