Find the doctor who has a good amount of experience I am 50 year old man with chronic back pain. I decided to try the PRP injections, and took 2 time procedure of Regenexx DDD, which costs me total of $8K. Unfortunately, this didn't work out well, and I wasted my time. This procedure was performed in San Diego office by Dr. Derrington, who's kind, but lack of clinical experience because I realized his diagnosis and procedure turned out incorrect, and his treatment wasn't enough to address my issue.

Check the Costs Just make sure you check the cost. I got a spine procedure done in Dallas for $1300 while that same exact procedure in Pittsburgh was $4500.

Does NOT work for advanced degenerative joint damage In April 2021 I had a video consult with Dr. Leiber about Regenexx procedures to the right hip joint which had given me problems for 10 years. He did inform me that the hip joint is the most difficult to treat with these procedures, but nevertheless went ahead and recommended stem cell, plasma and fat cell injections after receiving a current MRI of the hip. NOTHING helped even a little bit! I feel that after looking at the MRI and realizing that this hip is experiencing moderate to severe degeneration, he should have made the decision that Regenexx procedures will not reverse or even ameliorate the condition. I feel making money was a priority in this case. A year later (last month) I had a total hip replacement and feel 100% better now.

FDA would approve if valid Never had this done but if the fda doesn’t approve the treatment it’s because it isn’t effective. So people shell out money for an unapproved treatment then write a bad review and say they are ripped off? Well thanks for your reviews folks it has helped me see the obvious.

I 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 $$$.
