Christopher J. Centeno is a scam artist. Be careful working with this company. Dr. Centeno deals in vitriolic behavior, rather than to focus on his own science. You will be served well to avoid doing business with this company.

I travelled from Manchester/UK to Regenexx in Sarasota Florida in March 2018 for Regenexx "Stem Cell SD" treatment on my right knee/patella. I had my doubts if it would work after 6 months in. (75% get some benifit, 25% do not is their strapline on their website.) However in Nov. 2018 I noticed there was now very little pain at the back of my knee cap when walking up steps and by December 2018 the pain was pretty much gone and I was now able to lunge forward with my right knee and also squat on both legs which was impossible without severe pain prior to my treatment. I feel I am 85%+ better. Prior to Regenexx I saw 3 Orthopedic Surgeons in the UK whose advice was to "manage it" as that was the only option. At 58 at the time I was gutted to stop running and cycling (I could not do a single rotation standing up on a bike on the flat not to mention a hill). Now at 61years and thanks to my Stem Cell treatment I am now easing myself back into running and cycling and still helping with the coaching of the local kids rugby team. Thank you to Dr. Amoroso in Florida and of course Google search engine for popping up with Regenexx (on a randon "Stem Cell" search) as it was not available in the UK at the time of my treatment.

Last April 2018 I travelled from Queensland Australia to have PPR and Stem Cell procedures on my lower back and neck by Dr Patel in his Beverly Hills clinic. In 2012 I had an L5/S1 Interbody fusion. I was left with ongoing chronic pain, decreased mobility and ceased work in 2014. Over the next 6 years I was on and off Fentynal patches and Endone to control the pain. In October 2017 I consulted my spinal surgeon and all he could offer was further fusion of the next two levels above despite the failure of the initial surgery to reduce pain and improve my mobility. However, fate had intervened on a European holiday in June 2017, when I met a Canadian waiting for a ferry in Paris, we were a similar age and we and our wives stated chatting. My statement that I had a bad back and needed to sit down started the whole story; and as they say the rest is History. He had had Regenexx treatment in the USA which unlike me had saved him from fusion. He gave me the website and upon returning home I checked it out . Then after the later diagnosis from my Surgeon I had nothing to loose. All I can say is I wish I had known about Regenexx in 2012. I have been reticent to post my outcome , call it superstitious . However, I did send my MRI and had a phone consult with Dr Patel and he said he thought he could help me but I would have got a better outcome If I hadn't had the fusion. It has been 10 months now and I can honestly say I have had the best summer in years. It has taken time , I contacted influenza A in July which delayed my recovery. My pain has reduced to being able to be controlled by daily Panadol and a small dose of Mobic . Amazingly the lordosis of my lower back has returned. Some days I take no drugs at all and can sleep all night. I walk 3-4 km everyday, likewise, I do my physiotherapy exercises and Tai Chi everyday. It was all ways hard to exercise with chronic pain. I have been out in my boat and can play with my grand kids. While I don't think I will ever run around the block again my life is so much better after Regenexx. I still do get 'flare-ups' if I push things, but the pain settles quickly which it never did before. Dr Patel and his staff were excellent they were so attentive to us (my wife accompanied me) and considerate of how far we had travelled . I did have a lot of pain in the few weeks after the procedure but he said he did in 1 day what he would usually do over about a month because of obvious time constraints and a 10,000 mile (14,000kms) round trip. I would recommend Regenexx to anyone; Dr Patel is a very caring and knoweledgeable professional and his staff are an excellent team of lovely people. Thanks again and all the best to you all, my health continues to get better.

Dr. Centeno and the other doctors in his clinic do amazing work, things that, in my experience, no other health care providers can do. Their office is busy and a bit overwhelming, especially to people with brain injury issues from car accidents like myself, but going to them is definitely worth it. Their procedures work. I had disabling upper cervical dysfunction and pain for 15 years and was considering risky surgery to fix it. I kept hoping Dr. Centeno would one day invent a procedure that would fix it without surgery. And he did--did 3 years ago. I'm doing much better after that procedure--much less pain and more ability to do things I enjoy. Thanks!

So the people there are lovely. My doctor was lovely. Here is the problem. I had a bony problem (patella alta) and that can't be fixed with stem cells. I think the doctor should have advised me this. If you have a partial tear in a tendon or ligament, it is probably worth a go but I'd recommend surgery over this treatment. I have had surgeries now on my knees and the results from the surgeries are excellent.

Dr. Schultz at Regenexx is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate and skillful. He has helped me with multiple procedures in the past. This was my first experience with stem cell and I’m very grateful to Dr. Schultz for his help on my right rotator cuff. I am so glad I elected stem cell procedure over surgery! I would recommend Dr. Schultz and Regenexx to anyone!

The staff is great and the stem cell procedure saved me from shoulder replacement. I duo recommend the company to everyone I know.

Did not gain the flexibility and pain relief I had hoped for.
