Small clinic in Davie, near Fort Lauderdale, Florida, offering stem cell treatment for a wide range of serious conditions, led by one physician.
South Florida Stem Cell Center is a small clinic at Davie, near Fort Lauderdale in Florida. It is led by Dr Melvin M. Propis, described on the site as lead physician and principal investigator, supported by patient coordinators and laboratory technicians who process the cells.
The clinic offers stem cell and regenerative therapy. It also lists cosmetic services including permanent fillers. The conditions it names are unusually wide-ranging for a small clinic and include heart and lung disease, immune conditions, neurological illness, spinal cord injury, diabetes, osteoarthritis and erectile dysfunction.
Two things are worth flagging for anyone considering this clinic. First, the website does not say anywhere what kind of cells it uses or where they come from, which is basic information you should have in writing before treatment. Second, the site refers to a success rate in stem cell therapy; that is the clinic's own statement, is not supported by published evidence on the site, and has not been independently verified. The title principal investigator implies research activity, so ask whether you would be treated as a patient or enrolled in a study, and on what terms.
This is a very broad list covering serious and unrelated illnesses. There is no established stem cell treatment for most of them outside clinical trials. Ask precisely what evidence supports use in your own condition, and speak to your usual specialist first.
The website does not name a cell source anywhere, which is a significant gap.
The clinic is at 12575 Orange Drive, Suite 301, Davie, Florida 33330, near Fort Lauderdale. Opening hours are Monday to Friday, 10:00am to 5:00pm, closed at weekends. No year of establishment, languages spoken or dedicated international patient service is stated. The website was intermittently unreachable when reviewed.
No prices or consultation fees are published. Stem cell treatment of this kind is not covered by insurance, so ask for the total cost, including any repeat treatments and follow-up, in writing before committing.
