San Francisco orthopaedic practice offering fat-derived stem cell treatment under Cell Surgical Network protocols, described by the clinic as investigational.
Golden Gate Stem Cell Center is an orthopaedic practice in San Francisco that treats patients. It offers treatment using adipose-derived stem cells, meaning cells taken from the patient's own fat tissue, which are processed and then injected into an injured joint or tendon. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP), made from the patient's own blood, is also offered.
The practice states that it is an affiliate of the Cell Surgical Network and follows that network's protocols for collecting fat and delivering the cells. Importantly, the site describes this work as investigational and carried out under a protocol rather than as established treatment. If you are considering it, ask clearly what that means in practice: whether you are a patient or a study participant, who oversees the protocol, what it costs, and what happens if the treatment does not help.
The route in is an application form, followed by a free ten-minute information call if you appear to meet the criteria, then a consultation either in the office or by video for patients at a distance. The website does not publish a list of specific conditions treated, referring only to orthopaedic and degenerative conditions and to patients who are not yet ready for a total joint replacement. No treating physician is named anywhere on the site and no credentials are given, which is a notable gap for a clinic offering cell-based treatment.
The site gives no specific condition list, referring only to orthopaedic and degenerative problems. Ask directly whether your condition has been treated and what evidence supports it.
Cells are taken from the patient's own body rather than from a donor.
No physician is named and no credentials are published on the website.
The practice is at 2100 Webster Street, Suite 309, San Francisco, California 94115, telephone 415-923-3028. Video consultation is offered for patients at a distance. The site states 30 years of experience in treating sports injuries and arthritic conditions, a self-published figure that is not independently verified, but gives no founding year. Opening hours, languages spoken and dedicated services for patients travelling from abroad are not stated.
A free ten-minute information call is offered, but no price is published for the consultation or for treatment. Ask for a full written cost before proceeding; treatment of this kind is normally paid for privately.
