Caveat 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.

Stem cell procedure on my knee Stem Cell procedure on my knee: The first few months after my procedure, my knee felt great. It has gotten progressively worse. At the 6 month follow up appointment, the doctor said that I needed a "booster shot" for $1,400. However, during the appointment, he didn't even examine or touch my knee. I felt as though all he was concerned about was more money.

mri shows three bulging discs mri shows three bulging discs. had prp therapy completed and the pain was eliminated for two weeks. back to pain level 9. appears the success rate for prp for disc problems is minimal at best. extremely expensive for benefit received. larry fuller

I feel very lucky I have been very pleased with my relationship with Regenexx. Both the staff in Colorado and Grand Cayman are outstanding. Dr. Centeno has made a huge impact on improving my knee pain and indirectly has changed my life by introducing me to the Stem Cell Boost that has resulted in me no longer taking asthma medication. I am so happy I learned about Regenexx!

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.
