20 Recent Umbilical cord stem cell therapy Reviews: Check Real Patient Experience

Doreen Foo • Cell Therapy Singapore Dec 30, 2024

Verified review.
It was a terrible experience which I never want to go through again. Upon arrival at the hospital, the consultant , Jeab who led me there was not present to receive me. Instead I was attended by the medical sstaff who flatly shot down the agreed quotations offered by Jeab and even said they do not need the VDO anymore so they could not offer me what Jeab did and I was told I had to pay 3 times the proce of what I was offered before. Consequent to the price dispute, there were lots of bleak moments between the consultant and the medical staff internally then I was made to wait for over two hours then they suddenly reversed to ask for VDO compromised on an agreed price. I repeated said no to revealing my face for the VDO and the secretary Kimmy assured me my face will not be shown on camera. Prior to seeing the doctor, I was told to made payment first. For every doctor consultation, I had to go to the cashier to complete the payment and I was seeing two different doctors meant I had to repeat same process twice touring the entire medical centre so many times. What was most stupid was that I was never informed that I had to pay out of pocket for the Covid-9 test which I deem really unfair when there was konsixh prior information and they just dumped all the hidden cost on me. I only did the arm Vader+body tite along with pick laser for vaginal and I was made to go from building to building spending 7 hours there the entire day is really uncalled for!!!
The attending doctors are both very professional.
Medical staff lacks the professional etiquettes

The staff was very pleasant and cooperative
Service with a smile.The stafff was very pleasant and cooperative.The hotel stay was less than acceptable.The hotel room cleaning was undesirable.and the overall hotel say was not per cost demanded. Too early to see the results of stemcell treatment.It has been 10 days past treatment.There is zero improvement.Instead,the mobility is notably reduced.Manju is not able to even stand up.Her legs are showing an abnormal weakness.Hoping to see some notable improvements in the next few weeks.
Pleasant and couteous medical staff.They responded very well to my qestions.
Stay at the hospital (with medical attention thruout the treatment) was needed.Hotel stay was very difficult due to mobility and balance issues.

May the peace and mercy of God be with you. As a great program, the people who use it are great. The answer is excellent, but the last time was through MC Hospital Türkiye. The translator is a man named Issa. It is very weak in translation and does not translate. Why is this from the words of the doctor? Because the doctor spoke for a long time, and the translation was short, so there was a lot of things. It does not translate for me, and it did not benefit me at all, and the examination didn't help, doctor

Ice was one of the nurses who collected me from the airport. She was so kind for waiting nearly two hours for me due to a delay I had. She helped me so much after my surgery too. Another nurse Marge was wonderful. She helped with translation and my aftercare, she was so gentle when helping take out my stitches. I thank all of the nursing staff, they were all wonderful in their own way and treated me very well. I wish I could have spoken with the doctor more, he always seemed in a rush, I know he is a very busy man but if he could slow down just a bit it would help the patient care factor improve. But overall I'm really happy with my experience with the ID Clinic team ☺️ I only took two pictures of the inside of my overnight room, the clinic was very clean and comfortable and beautiful 🙏

At first I was hesitant for the treatment in Mexico but after the meeting with doctor Isabella, my entire perspective changed. She is very knowledgeable, professional and personable. She will explain the treatment and procedure with you in detail. I will not hesitate again to recommend her to any of my friends and family. She will perform the procedure in the comfort of your own residency without having to travel to the clinic. This is very accommodating as it minimizes the interruption if or when you are on vacation. I will be following up with her in the coming months as she is now my go to doctor.

Good day! During this treatment, I was only twice in this medical center, both times in the laboratory for blood donation, I waited 1 hour for the first time, 30 minutes for the second time, despite the fact that there was no visitor except me. All other actions, including the consultation of the doctor, were not in this clinic, so it is difficult for me, based on the foregoing, to make a different assessment. Also about the doctor. I was given the wrong doctor who was originally declared. I do not know anything about the current attending physician, please provide the data whenever possible. The doctor's conclusion, by the way, was also not carried out on Ichilov’s form — on a regular sheet and contains not the appointments that were made as a result, the doctor’s explanation of the side effects of the drugs (but I was going there, because your specialist said medicine without side effects and this was the key for me), appointed in the end and containing quite strong side effects.

There was an operation on the soft palate and a gastrocheck. The professor surgeon, a conscientious and attentive person, did an excellent job. There would be more such specialists. I have questions for the accompanying Russian office, nurses and ultrasound doctor: 1) The catheter was installed only the fourth time, and as a result, I now have a damaged vein in my arm that can no longer be restored 2) the ultrasound doctor found two cysts in the thyroid, 1.2 cm each , although this had never happened before, upon arrival home I did a double check, the cysts turned out to be 1.2 mm each, perhaps in the conclusion the comma was placed in the wrong place, or the fact that the doctor was very young 3) support and organization for 3, they took payment for a separate fee, but except for me there was also a man. They promised to recalculate, but they never did, after 3 months. Then I sent photographs to show them to the professor to make sure that everything was ok with the larynx, I first checked whether it was possible to send them. I've been waiting two weeks for an answer, and now they're completely ignoring me. The impression is that after receiving payment, attention and interest in the patient ends.

I underwent Gamma Knife surgery on my trigeminal nerve at Medical Park Clinic and I would like to express my huge gratitude to all the medical staff and especially to the professor who performed the procedure. The operation was difficult, as it involved the trigeminal nerve and there was a risk of injury to nearby nerves. However, thanks to the professionalism and high qualifications of the professor, everything went well. He performed the procedure with jewellery precision, minimising possible risks and ensuring an excellent result. The Medical Park clinic also impressed with its high level of service, attentive attitude to patients and modern technological base. I felt in safe hands from the moment of consultation to the end of the rehabilitation period. I would recommend this clinic and especially the professor to anyone who needs treatment related to trigeminal nerve. Thank you for your work and care!

My overall experience was good, however the decision was not easy and I was pretty scared as it was my very first surgery Doctor Kharkov and his team answered all my questions, made 3D modelling first, informed me of all steps. I am 34 days post op now, still have some swelling and breathing issues but enjoy my new look anyway. My rehab was quite tough and I appreciate the Perfecto Room team and especially assistant doctors, nurses, administrative assistant who were very supportive and helpful during my all rhino journey.

All You Need to Know about Umbilical cord stem cell therapy

What are umbilical cord ?

Umbilical cord are powerful, adaptable cells found in the blood of a newborn’s umbilical cord. cells are the body’s building blocks that can specialize into different cell types, from blood and immune cells to muscle and nerve cells. This versatility allows them to repair and regenerate tissue in the human body, making them a vital resource in modern medicine. 

Umbilical cord blood is particularly rich in hematopoietic and mesenchymal :

  • Hematopoietic (HSCs) form blood cells and are essential for blood and immune system health. 
  • Mesenchymal (MSCs) repair tissues like bone, cartilage, and muscle.

How does umbilical cord stem cell therapy work?

image

Umbilical cord stem cell therapy is a medical treatment that uses from umbilical cord blood to repair or replace damaged cells in the body.

🟢 Blood and immune cell restoration. Hematopoietic cells from umbilical cord blood can rebuild blood and immune cells. That’s why umbilical cord blood transplantation effectively treats blood disorders like leukemia and immune deficiencies.

🟢 Tissue regeneration. Mesenchymal (MSCs) in umbilical cord blood can become bone, cartilage, or muscle cells. These cells support tissue repair in conditions involving bone and joint damage, injuries, or degenerative diseases.

🟢 Reduction of inflammation. MSCs release anti-inflammatory proteins and growth factors (cytokines) that target inflamed tissue. This process actively reduces excessive inflammation, often a source of chronic pain and tissue damage.

What are the special benefits of umbilical cord ?

image

Umbilical cord blood stem cell therapy offers several distinct advantages over other popular stem cell sources like :

🌟 Easy collection and fast access. Cord blood is collected painlessly at birth and stored in a stem cell bank, so it’s readily available for "off-the-shelf" use. In contrast, stem cell collection from requires anesthesia and hospitalization for the donor. Along with a time-consuming matching process, the whole preparation can take from weeks to months.

🌟 Reduced costs. Since cord blood collection is simple and requires no extended procedures, it costs less than more time- and resource-consuming .

🌟 Lower risk of rejection. Cord blood are like the "universal donors" of the stem cell world—they don’t need a perfect match with the recipient. Since umbilical cord blood cells are very young, they haven’t fully developed the markers that the immune system recognizes and can reject if they don’t match closely. In fact, research shows they’re twice as likely to be accepted by the body compared to .

🌟 Lower risk of infection. Umbilical cord blood is typically free from common viruses like Epstein-Barr or cytomegalovirus. After collection, it is screened for infectious agents, and contaminated cord blood units are discarded, so the chances of transmitting infections to the patient tend to zero.

🌟 Free from environmental damage. Cord blood come straight from birth, so they haven’t been exposed to toxins or environmental risks that can damage adult . This makes them a healthier and safer choice for therapy.

🌟 Higher stem cell count. Umbilical cord blood is packed with —up to 10 times more than an equal amount of adult . To put this in perspective, it’s like getting the healing potential of 10 transplants from a single cord blood collection.

🌟 Better long-term regeneration. Cord blood are especially good at producing new, healthy blood and immune cells over the long term. This means patients have more resilient blood and immune systems with umbilical stem cell transplants than with .

👩🏻‍⚕️ Regenerative medicine specialist Dr. Isabella Bernaschina explains the advantages of umbilical cord over taken from a patient’s body (autologous):

What conditions can umbilical cord stem cell therapy treat?

image

Few therapies have the versatility of cord blood . They are widely used in hematopoietic stem cell transplants to treat blood and immune system disorders. Besides, cord blood are a powerful tool in regenerative medicine, which harnesses their natural ability for tissue repair and wound healing.

Here are the most prominent applications of umbilical at the moment:

  • Blood disorders. Umbilical cord blood transplantation can treat conditions like leukemia, lymphoma, and sickle cell anemia by replacing damaged blood cells with healthy ones.
  • Autoimmune disorders. Cord blood can help regulate the immune response and quell inflammation in autoimmune conditions like diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and multiple sclerosis (MS).
  • Neurological and developmental conditions. For conditions like autism and cerebral palsy, umbilical cord may help reduce inflammation in the brain and support neural repair and connectivity.
  • Degenerative diseases. Umbilical cord stem cell therapy may help slow degeneration for conditions like Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s.
  • Tissue injuries. Umbilical cord show promise for treating injuries to the brain, spinal cord, and heart. In cases of back pain, joint injuries, and osteoarthritis, prompt cartilage and disc regeneration and reduce inflammation.
  • Metabolic disorders. Replaces missing or malfunctioning cells and enzymes in inherited metabolic disorders, such as Hurler syndrome, Krabbe disease, and Tay-Sachs disease.

Where can I get umbilical cord stem cell therapy near me?

Several countries around the world offer approved, well-regulated stem cell therapies. This puts them at an advantage compared to the US, where most stem cell applications have yet to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Your choice might depend on your current location:

✈️ If you're in North America, consider Mexico or Colombia. Clinics here offer stem cell therapies approved by the relevant authorities—COFEPRIS and INVIMA. Patients can conveniently access Mexico and Colombia from the U.S. and Canada.

✈️ If you're in Europe, consider Turkey. Turkey’s healthcare facilities are among the most advanced in the region, with JCI-accredited hospitals and highly specialized doctors. Treatment costs are at the low end—between $2,000 and $15,000.

✈️ If you're in the Middle East, consider Israel. Israel is a global leader in regenerative medicine. Its scientists were the first to create beating heart cells and human embryo models with . They are also behind the brand-new CRISPR gene-editing technology, which promises to make stem cell treatments even more tailored and safe for patients. Israel offers high success rates and a strong focus on innovation, with costs ranging from $6,500 to $35,000.

✈️ If you're in Asia or Australia, consider Thailand. With nearly 30 years of experience with stem cell therapies, Thai clinics have internationally trained specialists and cater to medical tourists with extensive support, comfortable facilities, and all-inclusive packages. Thailand is especially well-known for its anti-aging and rejuvenating treatments. Costs can range from $3,000 to $15,000.

What is the success rate of umbilical cord stem cell therapy?

The success rate of umbilical cord stem cell therapy depends on the condition, so it’s challenging to give a one-size-fits-all answer. According to regenerative medicine expert Dr. Isabella Bernaschina, the success rate for treatments using umbilical cord ranges between 85% and 95%.

How long does it take to see results from umbilical cord stem cell therapy?

Although regeneration depends on the individual patient and their condition, the average time to see the stem cell therapy results is around 2 months. After this period, the doctor decides with the patients if the effects are sufficient or if they need to repeat the treatment. 

👩🏻‍⚕️ Hear from Dr. Bernaschina herself:

What are the sources of umbilical cord ?

Umbilical cord can come from:

  • Umbilical cord blood. Umbilical cord blood are collected from the blood in a newborn’s umbilical cord immediately after birth. This is a rich source of hematopoietic (blood-forming) .
  • Wharton’s jelly. This gelatinous substance in the umbilical cord acts as a protective cushion for blood vessels during pregnancy. Wharton’s jelly is naturally rich in MSCs, unlike cord blood, where MSCs are sparse.

How are umbilical cord obtained and screened? Are they safe to use?

🍼 Collection process

cells are taken from the umbilical cords of healthy, full-term newborns after a planned, safe delivery. This process is non-invasive and poses no risk to the mother or infant, as it takes place after the cord is cut.

🔬 Safety screening 

  • Detailed screening begins with collecting data on the mother’s health during pregnancy. If there are any infections or risk factors—such as group B streptococcus or herpes—umbilical cord blood will not be stored or used to extract .
  • The mother’s blood is also tested for infectious diseases like hepatitis, HIV, and syphilis, adding another layer of safety.
  • After collection, go through a rigorous screening process in licensed laboratories. They are checked for infectious diseases, genetic abnormalities, or contaminants. Any samples that do not meet safety standards are discarded.

❄️ Storage

The cells are frozen and stored in liquid nitrogen, which can keep them viable for decades. cells stored in this way remain effective even after 18 years.

What are the risks and complications of umbilical cord stem cell therapy?

Overall, umbilical cord stem cell therapy is considered low-risk due to its natural advantages and stringent screening processes. However, like any medical treatment, it carries some potential risks and complications.

1. Low risk of rejection

Umbilical cord are less likely to cause immune reactions or rejection than other cell sources. However, there is a small chance of an immune response, which can be tackled with close monitoring and medical intervention.

2. Infection risk

cell therapy involves injections, which always carry a minor risk of infection at the injection site. Strict sterile techniques minimize this risk, and patients are monitored closely for signs of infection post-treatment.

3. Allergic reactions

In rare cases, patients may experience allergic reactions to components used in cell processing or delivery. Although allergic reactions are typically mild, patients should discuss any known allergies with their medical team to avoid complications.

4. Risk of contamination

Extensive screening and processing minimize the risk. This is why you should choose the clinic that can prove it has strict protocols in place. It should use only samples that pass rigorous quality control tests.

🛡️ Entrusting a reputable clinic with your health and discussing your health history with your doctor is essential to minimize risks. Bookimed can help you choose from a network of vetted clinics to ensure you have the safest possible experience with stem cell therapy.

Are umbilical cord blood the same as embryonic ?

No, they’re different. 

  • Umbilical cord blood are collected from the umbilical cord and placenta after a healthy, full-term birth. They can develop into blood or tissue cells.
  • Embryonic derived from early-stage embryos can develop into any cell type in the body. Because they come from embryos, their use raises more complex ethical considerations. However, we should note that these are usually embryos left over from treatments that would otherwise be discarded.

Are there ethical concerns with umbilical cord ?

No, umbilical cord are collected after birth, with full parental consent and no harm to the mother or baby. This non-invasive process is widely accepted and avoids the ethical debates that sometimes arise with embryonic cells.
