The Cell Surgical Network name used by the Ocean Springs clinic of Dr Hazem Barmada, offering fat-derived stem cell treatment; it shares a website with Gulf Coast Stem Cell Center.
This listing points at gulfcoaststemcell.com, the same website as the Gulf Coast Stem Cell & Regenerative Medicine Center. The site uses both names for what appears to be one practice in Ocean Springs, Mississippi: Mississippi Stem Cell Treatment Center is the Cell Surgical Network style of name, and Gulf Coast Stem Cell Treatment Center is the local trading name. Readers should treat the two directory entries as the same clinic at the same address.
The practice is described on the site as a Cell Surgical Network affiliate. The Cell Surgical Network is a United States group of clinics, said on the site to date from 2010, that share a protocol for treating patients with cells separated from their own fat tissue. The preparation used is stromal vascular fraction (SVF), which the site describes as rich in stem cells and growth factors, and which is harvested and given back in a single outpatient visit.
The site names Dr Hazem Barmada as the physician and Dr Suzanne Rinno as director of stem cell technology. It lists a wide span of conditions, from joint and spine pain through neurological, cardiac and autoimmune disease to urological problems, and describes much of this work as investigational and part of a network research project. The site says a safety record has been published in a peer-reviewed journal; that is a statement about safety reporting, not evidence that the treatment helps any particular condition, and the site does not present outcome data.
No costs are published. Anyone approaching this clinic would want to confirm which of the two names they are actually dealing with, ask what the procedure costs in full, ask which review board oversees the protocol, and ask what evidence exists for their own diagnosis before committing.
The site lists musculoskeletal pain alongside a long list of systemic conditions, most of which it frames as investigational.
The site states the treatment uses stromal vascular fraction separated from the patient's own fat tissue, described as containing stem cells and growth factors.
The same two people are named as for the Gulf Coast listing, because it is the same site.
The address given is on Ocean Springs Road in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, the same premises as the Gulf Coast Stem Cell & Regenerative Medicine Center entry. It is an outpatient clinic where fat is harvested, processed and returned to the patient within one visit. The site does not describe the processing laboratory, its equipment or any accreditation, although a named director of stem cell technology implies in-house staff for that work.
Nothing about cost appears on the site, and no statement is made about insurance. A full written quotation would have to be requested from the clinic.
