Get to know Regenerative Medicine Expert Dr. William J. Cole Jr., who serves patients throughout the State of Florida and the entire US to “Have the Body Heal the Body®”

Dr. Cole is a renowned Regenerative Medicine Expert who has dedicated his medical career to “Decreasing Pain and Increasing Function”, but without unnecessary drugs or surgeries. 

He is the President, Founder, and CEO of RegenaMed.US®, OrthoMed® Pain & Sports Medicine, The “kNOwPAIN Institute & Foundation®,” and proud father of “Dr. Mary Jane®” – “Medical-Grade CBD,” which has replaced up to 50% of the narcotics formerly prescribed by his two Certified Pain Clinics in southwest Florida.

Dr. Cole completed training at NYU Rusk Institute in 2004, just after a life-threatening motor vehicle accident deprived him of the use of his hands. ​As a result, he changed his career path from orthopedic surgeon to physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist. He underwent the first of seven surgeries in 2003, and concluded with a Cervical Decompression in 2013 resulting in a Spinal Cord Injury that nearly made him a quadriplegic. As Dr. Cole had already changed so many lives with Regenerative Medicine, he then underwent extensive Regenerative Treatments  resulting in a tremendous reduction in pain and increase in functional abilities, in lieu of the typical Four-Level Cervical Fusion with a 10% success rate, as recommended by traditional neurosurgeons that would have ended Dr. Cole’s successful career in regenerative, conservative, and interventional pain medicine. 

 For nearly 20 years he built a very successful, outpatient-based, multi-location Regenerative and Orthopedic Medicine group serving thousands of local, regional, national, and international clients with customized traditional and regenerative treatments of the highest quality care, resulting in exceptional outcomes and positively changed lives.

Dual Board Certified in Regenerative Medicine and Interventional PM&R, DR. Cole is a Diplomate of the American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (ABPMR). He is one of five in the world with this “Double Board Certification”.

While working with some of the most prominent orthopedic surgeons in the United States, Dr. Cole has devoted his career to master and perfect the “minimally invasive interventional procedures” to Maximize Benefit and Minimize Pain, working toward a Better Quality of Life.

He specializes in regenerative therapies for all joints, muscles, tendons, and nerves with Ultra PRP and “SMART” NanoCell treatments via fluoroscopic and ultrasound-guided interventions, with over 60,000 total procedures performed throughout his career. He has also achieved major medical innovations such as “The Sciatica Solution” via the “kNOw PAIN®” approach to diagnose and treat over 10,000 patients with difficult and elusive disorders for the past 19 years with outstanding results, and very happy patients.

​Dr. Cole has pioneered multiple “adjunct” products that are safe and effective non-surgical alternatives to surgery or narcotics such as “Dr. Mary Jane,” a Medical-Grade CBD that has the “potential” to reduce  not only muscle and joint pain, but also nerve pain. spasms, anxiety, insomnia, and other disorders as it resets the body into our tranquil ‘rest and digest’ sense of well-being. He even developed a 100% Natural 16 Component IV Essential Vitamin and Mineral therapy from 66 “National Institute of Health” Coronavirus Studies to boost immunity, charge antioxidants, assist in preventing respiratory disorders, and stop viruses from replicating, That’s What a wonderful adjunct treatment to help prevent vulnerable patients from getting sick.

For the last 16 years, Dr. Cole has served as an “Assistant Clinical Professor” at LECOM/Bradenton. He teaches all aspects of conservative and interventional pain management, in addition to Regenerative Medicine, to build strong community and medical ties to future classes of physicians, as he believes in giving back to the medical and local community. 

Among his professional affiliations, Dr. Cole is an esteemed member of the American Association of Stem Cell Physicians, the American Academy of Pain Medicine, the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, the American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians, the Florida Medical Association, the Florida Osteopathic Medical Association, the Florida Society of Interventional Pain Physicians, the North American Spine Society, and the Sarasota County Medical Society, and will be the Founder of the AARP (American Association of Regenerative Physicians).

Having come to the realization that patients deserve a “Better Quality of Life”, Dr. Cole’s motto is to “FIND IT, and FIX IT,” to get patients “Back to Their Lives Faster, More Fit, and More Functional” than our failed traditional medicine for exceptional health of all patients today, tomorrow, and in the future.  And as Dr. Cole always says: “This is the Future of Medicine!

While PM&R aims to treat those with physical impairments or disabilities such as disorders of the brain, spinal cord, spine, nerves, bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, and tendons, Regeneration aims to enhance and restore the natural functional ability and quality of life, but without pain.

Happily married for 23 years (and counting…), Dr. Cole and his lovely wife, Dr. Liliana Cole are bilingual in English and Spanish, and raise their two children by example by serving our Florida community through “The Know Pain Foundation®” by assisting patients in the diagnosis and treatment of severe or chronic illnesses for those who deserve but can’t afford quality healthcare.
