“Since my treatment my blood sugar has started to stabilize and I have had zero highs since my treatment. … Since my treatment my glucose has averaged 89, which is crazy. … Still have a long journey but the path is now paved with asphalt instead of boulders. … This organization has been nothing short of fantastic and I highly recommend them.”
“I really started to feel like a VIP and actually I was treated like a VIP from start to finish. … within the first week my hip felt better after the swelling went down from the initial injection. … I am satisfied with the outcome and not having surgery, cortisone shots or a hip replacement at this point in my life.”
“This place is super amazing I had my stem cells done here. I would recommend to anyone including my own mother. … I was too afraid to get surgery so I decided to look outside the country … they literally walk you every step of the way … My experience was shockingly amazing”
“Great experience, professional from start to finish, had stem cells injected in both knees thanks Dr Reyes, thank you Mia for everything, now the healing process begins.”
“The level of care and attention from the team at Stem Cells Colombia have been exceptional, explaining the procedure thoroughly and giving us a tour of their facility. The ease of having us stay at the hotel above made it very convenient during the procedure. … I couldn’t be more satisfied.”
Why Colombia
In the US, stem cells expanded in a laboratory can only be used inside clinical trials authorized by the FDA. In Colombia the law allows them in treatment, so the specialists apply the stem cells directly where you need them, guided by ultrasound and fluoroscopy, in a real operating room, with your hotel in the same building.
Stem cell therapy is not approved by the FDA, but in Colombia it is legal.
Beyond joints & spine
The same cells and the same care, for a wider range of conditions.
Rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, Crohn’s, multiple sclerosis and other conditions, each with its own specialist.

from $5,550Explore →The stem cells
Many clinics grow their cells to Passage 5 and beyond to get more doses out of every cord. Every extra round in the lab makes the cells older. The doctors here stop at Passage 3–4: Wharton’s jelly stem cells grown just long enough for a full treatment dose, so they reach you young, strong and full of the repair signals you are traveling for.
Ask any clinic which passage they use. Most will not tell you. Here it is on every vial’s quality certificate.
