answers to pre-treatment questions
We encourage people to research and understand what's possible.
Is stem cell therapy right for me?
During a 30 minute initial consultation the overall therapy process and procedure will be explained in detail for you.
During the consultation Dr. Rifkin will cover medical protocols and will reference scientific information related to your specific condition.
What happens during the procedure? Is this surgery?
No, this is not surgery.
Performed in a consulting room at our outpatient clinic the minimally invasive procedure is usually complete in minutes and the entire clinic visit takes about an hour.
How much does stem cell therapy cost? Does my insurance plan cover this procedure?
When it comes to out-of-pocket expenditures for chronic pain management only you can decide what costs are reasonable.
Today we are seeing more and more patients choosing this nonsurgical natural alternative even while most insurance policies are not covering the expense.
Agreeing to a one time price for an effective long term solution is a choice you make. When it becomes is clear that continuing on with multiple less expensive (but ineffective) short term fixes ultimately only mask the problem you may choose to move forward with stem cell treatment.
During your initial consultation all procedural and treatment costs will be discussed.
What sources of stem cells does STEMCELLSPDX use?
We choose exclusively from the human cell and tissue product portfolio of Predictive Biotech Incorporated which includes CoreCyte (Wharton's Jelly) which is processed to preserve cytokines, proteins, and mesenchymal stem cells and cryogenically frozen prior to use.
All of Predictive Biotech's Human Cell and Tissue products are sourced from donated human tissue from full term deliveries and are procured, processed and tested in accordance with U.S. Food and Drug Administration standards.
We do not use adipose or embryonic tissue.
This is all new to me. What else should I be asking?
Know that during the 30 minute initial consultation some of the lesser known details about the procedure will be discussed.
We want you to be well -informed and always confident regarding how stem cell therapy can help your body as it begins to heal itself.
