Founder & Medical Director · Regen.MD
Dr. Gurpreet Singh Padda MD, MBA, MHP, DABIPP, CPE
The physician who built Regen.MD around a single conviction: pain is a signal, and durable recovery begins by correcting the biological terrain — structure, metabolism, and nervous-system regulation — before any regenerative procedure is deployed.
Three decades of interventional practice, five board certifications, and a competency certification in Regenerative Medicine in Interventional Pain Management. Dr. Padda’s work sits at the intersection of orthobiologics, metabolic medicine, and neuromodulation — the disciplines that decide whether injected tissue actually heals.

Why a regenerative practice needs this background
Most orthobiologic disappointment is not a failure of the injection — it is a procedure delivered into an unmeasured terrain. A joint dosed with PRP or bone-marrow concentrate in a body carrying insulin resistance, gut-driven inflammation, or sympathetic overdrive is an instruction sent to cells that cannot obey it. Dr. Padda is credentialed in the exact fields that govern that terrain: anesthesiology and interventional pain for image-guided delivery, addiction and obesity medicine for the metabolic and neurochemical drivers, and a dedicated competency certification in regenerative medicine for the biology of repair. That combination is why Regen.MD measures and corrects the terrain first, then intervenes.
