One national process at every center — and candidacy screening at the middle of it.

An unhurried conversation about your history, your goals, and what you've tried — often over dinner at a free talk.
A structured joint health evaluation with a licensed provider — function, mobility, history, and any imaging in context.
The honest middle: not everyone is a candidate, and you'll hear it plainly either way — with a pointed next step if we're not the fit.
If appropriate: a protocol built for your situation, with medical oversight and defined follow-up throughout.
