"My husband and I were treated by Dr. Romero and are thrilled with the outcome! My husband has battled Irritable Bowel Disease for 25 years with no real help from US Doctors as well as degenerative disc disease that Doctors in the US have told him they can't do anything about. Doctor Romero asked a lot of questions to get to the root problem, he looks at the entire person, not like the other Doctors who have specialties and don't know or care about issues in other parts of the body. After his first round of treatment, his health is better than it has been in over 20 years. He got treatment for his spine and after just a few days saw a huge difference, he said he feels 20 years younger! He can move and play with our grandkids with out suffering the next day like he used to! The treatment we received is a game changer. I have been on anxiety medication for years and since my treatment with Dr. Romero, I have not had to take a pill in over 6 weeks! That NEVER happens! Thank You Dr. Romero!"

How much does stem cell treatment for knee osteoarthritis cost in Mexico compared to the US?
Stem cell therapy for knee OA in Mexico generally costs 50% to 70% less than in the US or Canada, making it an affordable alternative for high-quality regenerative medicine.
Is it safe to travel to Mexico for knee osteoarthritis stem cell therapy?
Yes, medical tourism in Mexico is highly regulated. Board-certified specialists operate in state-of-the-art hospitals adhering to strict international health and safety protocols.
What types of stem cells are used for knee treatments in Mexico?
Specialists in Mexico typically use ethically sourced mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from umbilical cord tissue or bone marrow, known for their strong regenerative properties.
How long do I need to stay in Mexico for knee stem cell injections?
Most patients only need a short 3 to 5-day stay. This covers the initial medical consultation, the outpatient injection procedure, and a brief follow-up before traveling home.
What is the recovery time after receiving stem cells for knee osteoarthritis abroad?
Recovery is minimal. Patients usually walk the same day, but should rest for 24-48 hours. Strenuous activities should be avoided for a few weeks to let the knee joint heal optimally.
How long does knee pain relief last after stem cell therapy in Mexico?

Ideal candidates are those suffering from mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis seeking an alternative to knee replacement surgery. A thorough medical evaluation determines eligibility.
