Progencell - Stem Cell Therapies reviews
I was first introduced to ProgenCell when my husband obtained their services for his knees. After seeing the outstanding outcome in his ability to walk and run again, without pain, I was amazed. A few years later, I started to relapse with my auto immune condition, Dermatomyositis, which also triggered a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. The pain was unbearable and the swelling and inflammation was a constant battle. I decided to try the stem cell treatment for my conditions, not with the idea that it would cure them but with the idea that it could help me live a more pain free and functional life and possibly help me wean off the nasty medications that I had been taking for so long. After my first stem cell treatment, I noticed an increase in my energy. Although the pain was still lingering, it started to subside after about a month or so. And now that I have just recently had my second treatment, I am hopeful that I will be able to become even more functional and completely without pain. I am so grateful to have had this opportunity with ProgenCell and they have been nothing but professional, friendly, accomodating and supportive throughout the entire process. They are like a family to me, and my husband, and they have truly helped me stay positive and hopeful for a better, more healthier future! I genuinely recommend them for your wellness needs. Thank you, everyone at ProgenCell!

My mom and I just had some IV therapies done and felt super sick afterwards. I had to have them remove the IV because we felt so nauseous and sick, not to mention the headache I got afterwards.
Whatever they put in their IV’s is not healthy or normal. I’ve had many IV bags before and none ever made us feel this sick.
Also, the front desk told us it would be $95 for immunity and $10 extra for glutamine.. in the end she ended up charging us $195 each.
