How to Identify a High-Quality Stem Cell Center
By Dr. Charles Lee, Regenesis Stem Cell Center
When evaluating a stem cell center, you should look for several
hallmarks of quality. First, The FDA has only cleared your stem
cells, harvested from your bone marrow, minimally manipulated,
and injected in a same-day procedure for use in the United States.
Furthermore, all birth tissue products for other than cosmetic use are
dead tissue pawned off as stem cell treatments; approach facilities
offering to inject these products with skepticism. Other criteria to
consider include:

Accreditation and Licensing: Check if the center is accredited and
licensed by relevant regulatory authorities. Accreditation ensures
that the center meets specific quality standards, while licensing indicates
that the center is authorized to provide same-day stem cell
therapy with sedation. Regenesis has such indicia of quality and is a
stem cell center of excellence.
Expertise and Experience: The qualifications and experience of
the physicians at the center are crucial. An experienced, board-certified
regenerative medicine and stem cell therapy physician credentialed
by the state board of medical examiners is the indicia of
quality. This physician should have skills and training in advanced
complex injections. Such skills require years of training and experience
to master. At Regenesis, Dr. Lee has all the advanced training
offered by Interventional Orthobiologics and Orthopedic Medicine
organizations and has done thousands of these procedures since
opening Regenesis in 2014.
Facilities and Equipment: The facility should operate full-time,
five days a week, be clean, well-maintained, and be equipped with
the latest technologies to perform stem cell therapy. At Regenesis,
we maintain a flexible lab, procedure room, and recovery area. Our
flexible lab allows us to process your stem cells and Platelet Rich
Plasma to deliver optimal results. Our medical kit includes a biological
safety hood, gas and heat sterilizers, infrared decontaminant
lights, ultra-low temp freezers, centrifuges, and advanced cell and
platelet counters. In addition, Regenesis maintains a fully equipped
procedure room with vial sign monitors, resuscitation equipment,
plus fluoroscopy and ultrasound to guide harvesting and injecting
your stem cells and platelet concentrates.
Clinical Trials and Patient Registry Research: Check if the facility
participates in clinical trials and research related to stem cell therapy.
Participation indicates that the center is committed to advancing
the field and has the expertise to conduct research. Regenesis
has participated in PTSD, COPD, and Knee Osteoarthritis trials. We
constantly research optimal outcomes from our one, three, and sixmonth
follow-up patient registry data. Such analysis of outcomes is
crucial to optimizing results.
Patient Reviews and Testimonials: Look for patient reviews and
testimonials to see what others say about their experience and outcomes
with the center. Positive reviews can indicate a high level of
patient satisfaction and successful results. Don’t trust anonymous
reviews or paid celebrity spokespersons.
Cost and Candidacy: Based upon a consultation and image review,
the treating physician should draft and review a detailed procedure
plan with you. This plan should include costs and your suitability for
stem cell or PRP therapy. Be wary of being handoff to a hard-sell
“closer.” If the medical staff wants to immediately sign you up for a
procedure you should consider exploring treatment elsewhere.
At Regenesis, we are vested in your care and successful outcome.
