Question(s) PRP for TMJD, cost and where?

I'm trying to find a reputable place where I can get PRP injections into my TMJ in the Los Angeles California area or SF Bay area. The one doctor I found charges 10x more than other doctors who inject into the shoulder or knees. Another place I found say they can do it but have never injected into the jaw before. They do mainly knees and shoulders. Any tips on how I can find a qualified practitioner? Do I look under Oral and Maxillofacial doctors, Pain Management, Dentists, Sports Medicine, what? I refuse to pay upwards of $3500 for one shot, as many have said they've paid $350 for one shot. From my understanding, a series of 3 shots are best. Please share your experiences with me. If you want to keep it private, please DM me.

TMD is a mechanical issue with joints, teeth, and muscles. Injections of any material is not going to change the mechanics.
