An Arizona site of the R3 Stem Cell network, offering outpatient umbilical cord, fat-derived, exosome and platelet injections for joint and spine pain.
This entry covers the Phoenix-area centre operated by R3 Stem Cell, a commercial network of regenerative medicine clinics. The Arizona address given is in Scottsdale, and the site says the centre serves Phoenix, Scottsdale and Mesa. Treatments are given as outpatient procedures, meaning a patient goes home the same day, and the site describes them as non-steroidal.
The treatments offered are stem cell therapy, exosome therapy and platelet-rich plasma. The cell sources named are umbilical cord tissue, which comes from a donor rather than the patient, and adipose autograft, which means fat taken from the patient's own body. Exosomes are small particles released by cells; platelet-rich plasma is prepared from a patient's own blood. The conditions listed are musculoskeletal: hip, knee, shoulder, back, neck, elbow and ankle pain, arthritis and tendonitis.
R3 states on its website that it has performed more than twenty thousand stem cell procedures and that it operates a network of over forty-five clinics in several countries, and that it has been operating for over ten years. These are figures the company publishes about itself; they are not independently verified. No individual physician is named with credentials on this page, which is a significant gap when you are choosing who will perform an injection. Free consultations are offered and financing is advertised for North American residents.
The conditions listed are all musculoskeletal, but the evidence supporting cell injections differs a great deal between them. Ask what published evidence supports use in your specific joint or condition.
Both donor tissue and the patient's own tissue are used. It is worth asking which one is proposed for you and why.
No physician is named with credentials on this page. Ask who will actually perform the procedure and what their training is.
The Arizona address given is 10045 E Dynamite Boulevard, Suite 260, Scottsdale, Arizona 85262, serving the Phoenix, Scottsdale and Mesa area. The site says R3 has been operating for more than ten years and runs over forty-five clinics internationally, a figure the company publishes about itself. Opening hours and languages spoken are not stated.
Free consultations are offered and financing is advertised for North American residents, but no treatment price is published. Stem cell and exosome injections are typically not covered by insurance, so ask for a full written quote covering every session before committing.
