Rancho Mirage clinic founded in 2010 that treats patients with cells separated from their own fat tissue and reinjected the same day.
California Stem Cell Treatment Center is a private clinic founded in 2010 by Dr Elliot Lander and Dr Mark Berman. It operates from two California addresses, Rancho Mirage and Beverly Hills; this entry covers the Rancho Mirage office in the Palm Springs area. The centre treats patients directly and is the founding practice behind the Cell Surgical Network, a group of affiliated clinics using the same procedure.
The procedure described on the site involves taking a sample of the patient's own fat, separating from it a mixture of cells known as the stromal vascular fraction (SVF), and reinjecting that preparation. Everything happens in one visit, and the material comes from the patient rather than from a donor. The centre also collects follow-up information from patients for up to five years after treatment.
The website groups the problems it deals with into broad categories rather than naming individual diseases, and it publishes research papers by its founders. Treatments of this kind are not approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for any specific disease, and the centre presents its work as investigational. Ask what evidence exists for your own condition before committing.
The centre lists broad categories of illness rather than named diseases. This is a very wide range, so ask specifically what evidence supports the use of this treatment in your own condition.
Cells come from the patient's own body, not from a donor.
The Rancho Mirage office is at 72780 Country Club Drive, Suite 301, Rancho Mirage, California 92270, with a listed telephone number of 424-587-2180.

No prices or consultation fees are published on the website. These procedures are not covered by insurance in the United States, so ask for a full written cost, including any follow-up visits, before agreeing to treatment.
