Dr. Johnson’s approach to stem cell therapy
Dr. Johnson uses autologous adipose-derived stem cells: cells taken from your own fat, processed in our office and returned to you the same day. No donor cells.
An honest first conversation
Dr. Johnson personally conducts initial consultations. He reviews your history and imaging, examines you, and explains other options, including conservative care and surgery. If he does not think you are a good candidate, he will tell you.
A small harvest under local anesthesia
A small amount of fat is collected through a mini-liposuction under local anesthesia, without general anesthesia.
Counted, tested cells
Your tissue is processed in our office. We typically get 100 million cells or even more (counts may vary), and each patient’s cells receive a viability and count test before treatment.
IV and targeted delivery
Cells are given by IV, with local injections into treated joints when clinically indicated. Our team follows up afterward to see how you are doing.
IRB-reviewed protocols
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.
Recovery and response differ from person to person. Individual results vary.
