Physician-led stem cell care using your own fat-derived cells, one consistent protocol, and clear flat-fee pricing.
Choosing a stem cell clinic is a big decision. You deserve straight answers about who will treat you, what the procedure involves, what it costs, and what the research does and does not show. Here is what sets our Dallas clinic apart, in plain language.
Stem cell therapy is not FDA-approved for these uses and is not covered by insurance. Individual results vary.

The 7 reasons, at a glance
Nationally recognized
Life Sciences Review Magazine named us “Top Stem Cell Treatment Center In The USA (2025 & 2026)”, the second consecutive year, and featured us as its October cover story. We see that as a responsibility to keep our information accurate and our care consistent.
Your own cells, one consistent protocol
We use autologous adipose-derived stem cells: cells collected from your own fat, processed in our office and returned to you the same day. No donor cells. Our process yields about 100 million cells, and each patient’s cells receive a viability and count test before treatment. Every patient follows the same standardized protocol, so results can be tracked and compared over time.
Experienced, physician-led care
Our practice dates to late 2012, giving us nearly 14 years of focus on regenerative medicine. Your care is directed by Dr. Bill Johnson, a physician since 1983 who has practiced in Dallas–Fort Worth since 2000.
IRB-reviewed protocols, patient-funded research
Our protocols were reviewed by an IRB (Institutional Review Board), an independent committee that reviews research to protect patients’ rights and safety. Our research is patient-funded. Dr. Johnson takes part in a national effort with other doctors who use the same approach and track treatment results together.
One clear, flat fee
A first treatment is $16,500, one flat fee that covers up to 4 joints, with the IV dose included. A first spine treatment (back or neck) is $19,000. There are no facility fees, and our free consultations have no hidden fees. Your plan and price are confirmed after your medical evaluation, before you commit. Financing is available.
Support for out-of-town patients
Many patients travel to Dallas for care. We offer a complimentary hotel stay for out-of-town patients, and our team helps schedule your visit around your flights.
Honest information and realistic expectations
We explain what the research shows and where it is still limited. We do not promise outcomes, and we will tell you if we don’t think you are a good candidate. Individual results vary.
What a treatment visit looks like
Everything happens in our North Dallas office, typically in a single outpatient visit. Your physician reviews each step with you beforehand.
Medical evaluation
Dr. Johnson and our team review your history, imaging and lab work to decide whether treatment makes sense for you.
Mini-liposuction
A small amount of fat is collected under local anesthesia through a minimally invasive mini-liposuction.
In-office processing
Your tissue is processed in a closed system, using gentle low-speed centrifugation, to concentrate the cells for your treatment. Each patient’s cells receive a viability and count test; the process yields about 100 million cells.
Treatment and follow-up
Cells are given by IV, with local injections into treated joints when clinically indicated. Our team follows up afterward to check how you are doing.
What does treatment cost?
We publish our prices so you can plan before your consultation. Medicare and private insurance do not cover this treatment.
One flat fee, up to 4 joints
