Active Life Physical Medicine and Pain Center
Institutional Profile
Active Life Physical Medicine and Pain Center is a Phoenix-area pain management and regenerative medicine practice led by Dr. Wendi Lundquist, a board-certified physiatrist and pain specialist holding dual credentials as a DO, Fellow of the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (FAAPMR), and Diplomate of the American Board of Pain Medicine (DABPM). The practice operates across multiple locations including Surprise and Avondale, and its clinical team includes Physician Assistant Maegan Kitzmann. Regenerative medicine is the practice's core specialty, with confirmed offerings including PRP injections, BMAC (Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate), and A2M Therapy — all biologics-based interventions used for musculoskeletal and pain conditions. Peptide therapy is also listed, with BPC-157 and TB-500 referenced in site content, though depth of peptide programming is limited based on available crawl data. Insurance posture is not publicly disclosed. Patients in reviews frequently cite long-term relationships with Dr. Lundquist, with one reviewer reporting care spanning since 2011 and another describing more than 20 lumbar injection procedures. One negative review raises a communication concern around procedural planning for cervical injections. The practice holds a 4.8-star rating across 117 Google reviews, and Dr. Lundquist's medical license has been independently verified.

Consistent Strengths
- •Long-term patient loyalty — many reviewers have been patients 4–14 years
- •Staff consistently described as caring, friendly, and professional across all locations
- •Dr. Lundquist praised for cutting-edge, non-surgical regenerative approaches
- •Patients report significant pain relief outcomes after years of failed conventional treatment
- •Multiple locations (Surprise, Avondale, Goodyear, Litchfield Park) with consistent experience
- •Procedures are generally described as quick and minimally painful
- •Staff takes time to listen and explain treatment plans thoroughly
Concerns to Consider
- •One patient passed out during 8-cervical-spine injections with no sedation offered upfront — staff then blamed the patient for not requesting sedation
- •Blood draw protocol confusion for A2M injections — staff unsure of required vial count, patient required multiple return visits and 5 needle sticks
- •A2M injections reported as significantly more painful than patients were led to expect
Notable Reviews
“Dr. Lundquist scheduled me for 8 epidural injections in my c spine but did not suggest sedation. I passed out during the last injection. The nurse kept asking why I didn't do sedation — as if I did something wrong.”
“On April 5 2018 Doctor Lundquist performed Bone marrow on both of my S.I. Joints. I have been pain free for about 1 year. I am walking about 5 miles a day. Every other doctor said my problem was my spine — she said it was my S.I. Joints.”
“After I gave them 18 vials, they called me back and I had to drive back and give 25 more. They had a really hard time — after 5 pokes and 16 more vials, we quit. The A2M injections were much more painful than expected.”
“Leading up to the day of my PRP / A2M injections — Sean did a great job with the blood draw, George the anesthesiologist put me at ease pre going under, Dr. Lundquist's bright smile put me at ease.”
“Stem cell treatment on my knees has me back in heels two years later. When everyone else said to operate, she takes the natural approach above all.”
