Introductory Letter from Dr. Sheinkop Dear Friend, If you have Osteoarthritis, knee, shoulder, or hip pain and are looking for a solution to the challenges you face, for those that qualify, cellular orthopedic treatment might be exactly what s right for you. Over 4 years ago I exchanged my scalpel for a needle and have been providing relief to my patients using minimally invasive techniques to help return them to a healthy, active lifestyle. The process I use to help alleviate your pain and discomfort means you might be able to postpone, or in some cases avoid, surgery altogether. The 37 years of joint replacement experience I bring to this new field of medicine is indispensable when it comes to the further development and implementation of regenerative medicine, as well as help patients postpone, or avoid surgery. As a Board Certified Orthopedic Surgeon and Professor Emeritus I have seen all the benefits of having a joint replaced and decided that cellular orthopedic treatment has the potential to effectively treat patients just as well, if not better, than surgery. Being informed is an important first step when choosing your treatment. To make sure you get started on the right path I wrote this report, The Top 10 Things You Should Know Before Choosing Your. The contents of this report will show you the ten most crucial questions to ask before you commit to a treatment plan. Healthy joints are an incredibly important aspect of a vibrant, active lifestyle. Together we can make sure your joints stay healthy and feeling great for years to come!

1 ARE THEY A CELLULAR ORTHOPEDIC TREATMENT SPECIALIST? Cellular orthopedic therapy, is a new frontier in medicine that involves the application of cellular orthopedic as a form of healing. Cellular orthopedic are naturally reproduced in the body, making them a renewable source of medicine with enormous potential. Many doctors are currently providing cellular orthopedic therapy but not all are specialists in the field. As a Cellular Orthopedic Specialist, Dr. Sheinkop uses cellular orthopedic therapy (as well as subchonropasty, amniotic fluid concentrate, and platelet rich plasma therapies) to treat patients, but he is also involved in research and clinical trials. He is a pioneer in his field; as one of the first orthopedic surgeons to become a Cellular Orthopedic Treatment specialist, he works on discovering new treatments and their effects as well as preventative approaches based on cellular technology to treat currently unmanageable human diseases. When your doctor gives you the option of surgery to fix or heal the underlying cause of your arthritis or joint pain, it is no surprise if that makes you nervous. Ultimately, you want to avoid the added pain of surgery as well as the downtime that may prevent you from working, spending time with your family, or even socializing for a lengthy period of time. When choosing Dr. Sheinkop Orthobiologics In Lieu Of Surgery, you are choosing the solution that is non-surgical so you won t have to worry about post-surgical hurdles, like blood clots, infections, added pain during recovery, or losing any valuable time with your loved ones. As an Orthopedic Surgeon, he has a better understanding of your overall treatment options. 312.475.1893 www.ilcellulartherapy.com 4
2 ARE THEY BOARD CERTIFIED? A doctor who is Board Certified is among the best in the current practice of his field. Surprisingly, many doctors currently practicing cellular orthopedic treatment are generalists. While they may be doctors, they are not specialists, and they don t have Dr. Sheinkop s credentials as an orthopedic surgeon who has been educated and trained in the diagnosis of diseases and injuries of the musculoskeletal system. Board certification isn t a requirement in cellular orthopedic therapy, but Dr. Sheinkop strives to be the top of his field to provide the best and most up-to-date care. Would you rather trust your care to an expert or someone with less training and expertise? Patients tend to trust specialists with tangible credentials more and we re sure you feel the same way. Dr. Sheinkop constantly strives toward maintaining his board certification through continued medical education. Credibility and confidence in his work are critical to him and his patients. 312.475.1893 www.ilcellulartherapy.com 5
3 ARE THEY FELLOWSHIP TRAINED? Doctors accepted in a sub-specialty fellowship program do additional years of specialty training in orthopedic surgery. Not all doctors are created equally; most doctors practicing cellular orthopedic therapy have not completed any additional specialized orthopedic training. As a Board Certified Orthopedic Surgeon, former director of the joint replacement program and Professor Emeritus at Rush University Medical Center, Dr. Sheinkop is one of the top Cellular Orthopedic Therapists in the field. He is a leading authority on the treatment of patients with complex hip and knee disorders and is well known for his pioneering use of computerassisted navigation, minimally invasive technologies and hip resurfacing techniques. Dr. Sheinkop is a graduate of the Chicago Medical School and did fellowships in pediatric orthopedics and hand surgery. He has done extensive research in the fields of minimally invasive solutions, hip resurfacing systems, and navigated arthroplasty. While Dr. Sheinkop has performed 20,000 joint replacements in his career, he has now completed over 500 cellular orthopedic and growth factor interventions making him a pioneer in the field. You can count on Dr. Sheinkop to diagnose and treat your condition with care and trusted experience. 312.475.1893 www.ilcellulartherapy.com 6
4 DO THEY HAVE EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE? No matter what you re researching or seeking, any expert in their field should have enough experience to be great at what they do. With a Cellular Orthopedic Therapy Specialist, this is extremely important since your health and mobility are irreplaceable. Dr. Sheinkop has the experience to expertly diagnose and treat osteoarthritis or knee, shoulder, and hip pain. Dr. Sheinkop has 37 years experience as an Orthopedic Surgeon, combined with over four years of experience in cellular orthopedic therapy.

5 ARE THEY FDA COMPLIANT? Cellular orthopedic therapy focuses on harnessing the power of one s own cellular orthopedic and regenerative capabilities to restore function to damaged cells, tissues and organs. In April 2006, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration s (FDA) implemented regulations governing the use of human cells, tissues, and cellular and tissue-based products in humans including bone, ligament, skin, stem cells, cartilage cells, and various other cellular and tissue-based products. FDA compliance can be a very sophisticated, complex process, leading some doctors to delegate compliance to their staff. Dr. Sheinkop, however, is fully trained in FDA compliance for cellular orthopedic therapy. His academic experience, Board Certification, and ongoing education ensure he is up-to-date on all the latest policy and legal advancements; Dr. Sheinkop Orthobiologics In Lieu Of Surgery follows all rules and regulations in practicing cellular orthopedic treatment. 312.475.1893 www.ilcellulartherapy.com 8
6 DO THEY OFFER DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE DOCTOR? Have you ever had a medical procedure? Did you get regular contact with the doctor both before and AFTER the surgery or procedure? Many patients do not have regular direct contact with the doctor. This is a unique service provided by Dr. Sheinkop Orthobiologics In Lieu Of Surgery and one that provides great comfort and reassurance to his patients. Dr. Sheinkop strives to strike a balance in his practice between the knowledge and expertise provided by over 37 years of experience combined with the comfort of direct contact from your doctor as needed. Patients receive Dr. Sheinkop s cell phone and personal email contact to support their concerns and questions. You may not need to use this service, but it is reassuring to know you have the option. Your health and well-being are the staff s priority, so they individualize and customize care for each patient. 312.475.1893 www.ilcellulartherapy.com 9
7 DO THEY WORK IN A STERILE ENVIRONMENT? Medical facilities are frequently home to diseases, bacteria, contaminants and infections. To perform procedures and surgeries safely, a clean, sterile work environment is required. All cellular orthopedic procedures should be implemented in a sterile environment, but current regulations for Cellular Orthopedic Therapy do not require practitioners to do this doctors can provide treatment in their offices. It may seem like a given that doctors practice cellular orthopedic treatment in a sterile surgical environment, but this is not the case for many doctors. Dr. Sheinkop insists on the integrity of a sterile surgical environment and conducts all procedures in a Surgery Center rather than in his office. With 37 years of surgical experience, Dr. Sheinkop Orthobiologics In Lieu Of Surgery insists on the most pristine sterile environment for all procedures and all patients. 312.475.1893 www.ilcellulartherapy.com 10
8 DO THEY HAVE INTEGRITY IN THE PROCESS? Integrity in medical practice includes consistency in actions, methods, outcomes, and values. For many medical providers, the relationship between medical ethics and professionalism may be what they consider to be integrity. Medical providers are asked to do what is right while using professional judgment. With professionalism comes an expectation of expertise, in a responsible and reliable manner. Since Cellular Orthopedic Therapy is a new frontier in osteoarthritis and joint treatment, there is a wide range of research and information for doctors to evaluate and interpret. Many doctors become practitioners of the treatment, but they may not have a surgical or even an orthopedic background. From FDA compliance to integrating his practice with clinical research, Dr. Sheinkop brings complete integrity to the field of Cellular Orthopedic Treatment. With 37 years as an orthopedic surgeon and four plus years of practicing cellular orthopedic therapy, with his experience as a former director of a joint replacement program and Professor Emeritus at a major university, Dr. Sheinkop brings the integrity of the process through his years of clinical, practical, and educational experience. He continues to follow all the latest trials as well as utilizing comparative data from both his surgical and cellular orthopedic practices to compare results and determine the best approach for each and every patient. 312.475.1893 www.ilcellulartherapy.com 11
9 IS THEIR DATA UNBIASED? In medicine, the results of experiments and clinical trials must be verified rigorously to ensure the collected data is unbiased or influenced by opinion or inaccurate information. In a cutting-edge field like Cellular Orthopedic Therapy, biased clinical results could result in doctors drawing inappropriate conclusions leading to potentially disastrous treatment for patients. Data may be biased during the collection process or by the humans collecting and analyzing the data or both. This is why Dr. Sheinkop uses Third Party Data Assessment that confirms the accuracy of the results, how the numbers are calculated, and whether the inferences drawn from the results are appropriate. Through this process, he ensures no unintentional bias seeps into his analysis. As a pioneer in an evolving field, Dr. Sheinkop insists on meticulous data. He uses non-biased Statistical Analysis to keep a painstakingly accurate database of outcomes to guarantee the best techniques are used and referenced for seminars, publications, and in his own practice in this emerging specialty field of medicine. 312.475.1893 www.ilcellulartherapy.com 12
10 ARE THEY ACCESSIBLE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS AND COMMUNICATE? Many patients are understandably anxious about surgery and medical procedures; adding to that fear and anxiety may be the inaccessibility of their doctor outside of an appointment or the procedure itself. Dr. Sheinkop addresses this concern by offering direct contact; all patients receive his phone number and email. Furthermore, as part of his clinical studies, the staff contacts patients on a regular basis following their procedures to make sure patients are reaching appropriate milestones rather than waiting for patients to contact him with a question or concern. Additionally, we understand that many of our patients travel a great distance to receive care, which is why Dr. Sheinkop offers phone consultations for long distance patients.
