Florida clinic network operating under the R3 Stem Cell brand, offering amniotic-derived stem cell and platelet injections at Temple Terrace and two other sites.
This clinic in Temple Terrace, near Tampa, operates as part of the R3 Stem Cell network, which lists three Florida locations. Treatments are given as injections or intravenous infusions on an outpatient basis, meaning you go home the same day.
Two treatments are named. The first is injections of amniotic-derived stem cells, meaning cells taken from donated amniotic tissue rather than from the patient's own body. The second is platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, prepared from a sample of the patient's own blood. The site also refers to growth factors.
Several points deserve care. The conditions listed go well beyond joint and tendon problems to include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), kidney disease and heart disease, for which cell injections are not an established treatment. The site states that treatment is carried out under approval from an Institutional Review Board (IRB); that is an ethics committee approval for a study protocol and is not the same as approval of the treatment by the United States Food and Drug Administration. The site also refers to more than 10,000 successful procedures; this is the network's own published figure, is not broken down or independently audited, and should not be read as evidence that treatment works. No physician is named on the pages reviewed.
The list ranges far beyond joint problems into serious organ disease. Ask what evidence supports use in your own specific condition, and discuss it with the specialist already treating you.
The cells used are from donated amniotic tissue, not from the patient's own body.
No treating physician is named with credentials on the pages reviewed, which is a notable gap.
Three Florida locations are listed: 9780 North 56th Street, Temple Terrace, Florida 33617; 5 Harvard Circle, Suite 104, West Palm Beach, Florida 33409; and 3440 Renaissance Boulevard, Suite 1, Bonita Springs, Florida 34134. Opening hours, the year of establishment, languages spoken and any international patient service are not stated.
Treatment prices are not published, though a free consultation is offered. The site states plainly that stem cell therapy is not covered by insurance and is paid for out of pocket, so ask for a written total before agreeing to treatment.
