GBI have been using Regennex for a few… I have been using Regennex for a few years now. I am pleased with the outcome everytime. I can tell when i am due for a visit. Before i started the Regennex treatment , i tried acupuncture, cupping,physical therapy, nerve ablation, nerve root blocks and steroid injections . Nothing worked even the previous back surgeries. I have hope now. Thank you Dr.Lieber and thank you Regennex for your cutting edge research and training. Now, if the insurance companies would approve these procedures more people could have a new lease on life .

GBSwimming shoulder injury repaired freeing swimmer from pain. I had spend 4 months in physical therapy rehabilitating my shoulder only to have the first swim meet I entered, wipe out my gains. After Regenex, and a 3-month recovery with mild rehabilitation exercises to keeping the shoulder loose and flexible, I dropped 7 seconds off my 200 yard freestyle time. Best part...no pain the next day. The bad part...this meant I had to starting going to practice again.

GBCaveat Emptor 1. I have done same day stem cell injections (twice) plus multiple rounds of PRP in my knees (torn ACLs, meniscus). It worked great. (This was not a Regenexx related facility.) Still skied and played tennis. 2. Due to concern about declining number of stems cell available via the same day procedure, I decided to try Regenexx Cayman cultured stem cell procedure. 3. Everything was professionally done. Cost for phase 1 was $10,500. 4. After cells were cultured, I was advised everything was good, so I booked hotel, air fare, etc to return for re-injection. 5. Ten days prior to my departure, I was advised that only 5 million stem cells were available and that I needed 30 million for the number of injections I needed on both knees. The doctor therefore did not want to proceed. 6. Stem cells were not counted prior to culturing so there was no way to know if I had any expansion. There was no known probability of whether another $10,500 bone marrow aspiration/culture would result in more than 5 million stem cells. 7. I therefore was left with no good way forward and was out $10,500 plus money spent on plane tickets. 8. The low rating is due to the lack of transparency/ expecatation management. When the count was known 4 months prior, I should have been contacted and advised of the issue. Moreover, one would think Regenexx would have an idea of whether a 30 million count is common, particularly for my age range. 9. The bottom line is I can’t recommend Regenexx Cayman due to either a lack of knowledge of metrics for stem cell counts and more importantly a failure to relay likelihood of one having the number of stem cells needed after culturing. If 5 million per round of culture is the likely outcome, I would have to pay over $60K and then the $12,500 for injections. 10. Maybe that is something some people will pay, but I decided to cut my losses and walk away. I wish FDA would approve cultured stem cells in the U.S. as I believe there would be greater rigor applied to the process. For now, caveat emptor.

GBI had my Stem Cell procedure on my left knee... I had my Stem Cell procedure done on May 2019 in Atlanta. The consultation was great. The orthopedic did a in-depth examination of my knee along with reviewing my MRI images. The process of a stem cell injection includes a pre-injection(2 days before) of prolotherapy and post-injection(2 days after) of PRP. It has been almost 5 months since my stem cell injection and my knee doesn’t feel any better. It’s a expensive procedure. I got my lateral meniscus partially removed and I was hoping stem cells would give me relief. I believe stem cells work for some but not all. It didn’t work for me unfortunately just like my surgery didn’t either. On a side note, I have noticed lots of fake reviews. Makes me question Regenexx true intentions which is $$$.

GBRepair of serious rotator cuff tears.... After a fairly serious set of tears to my rotator cuff, Regenexx and my Doctor at Centeno Schultz did super concentrated PRP on my shoulder. Within a week or so, I was pain free, and then after 4 months, I was playing competitive racquetball again. Now, a year later, I'm still pain free, riding long distance bicycle events, golfing and playing racquetball with little thought to my shoulder.
