Jeffrey Piccirillo

Jeffrey Piccirillo, DO is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon, who developed an interest in platelet-rich-plasma, the first time a centrifuge was rolled into his operating suite, sometime in 2002.

He was born and raised in Ridgway, PA, a small town in northwestern Pennsylvania in 1962. His father was a veteran of World War II, and his mother a war bride, who came to the United States after the war. His mother spent most of her life, working for local physicians in accounting. She would often bring medical journals home, which would always fascinate Jeff. His interest in science was cultivated in high school by many amazing high school teachers. He completed his undergraduate work at The Pennsylvania State University in 1994 and attended medical school at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, graduating valedictorian in 1989. He continued his training in orthopedic surgery at the Chicago Osteopathic Medical Center in from 1989 to 2004, and then entered into private practice.

Once in practice, Dr. Piccirillo, considered himself a general orthopedist, with an interest in adult reconstruction and sports medicine. He served as team physician for Joliet West High School Joliet, IL), Grinnell High School (Grinnell, IA), and Grinnell College.

In 2002, when a representative from one of the major joint replacement companies brought a centrifuge into the operating room, his love for regenerative medicine and platelet rich plasma (PRP) began. In 2009, he switched from a surgical practice to one focusing on the regeneration of tissue, not replacement, and his mindset on medicine began to evolve. As his protocols, and products evolved, Dr. Piccirillo began consulting with other practices, teaching them how to get on the regenerative medicine platform. He developed a friendship with Dr. Charles Runels, and innovator in PRP in his own right. He has recently completed a chapter entitled “Stem Cell Medicine- What does the future hold??” in Dr. Judson Brandeis’ book, Optimizing Manhood which will be released in early 2021.

Dr. Piccirillo hold a service mark for Perfect PRP™. which is a step-wise method to optimize the patient prior to PRP procedures, and improve over all outcomes. He teaches his methods in workshops all over the world.

He is married, with daughter (Tricia) in Chicago, and a son (Brian) at home in Florida. When he is not teaching in the United States and around the world, you will find him in his garden, or writing in front of his computer.
