Podiatry group in Santa Monica and other California offices offering stem cell injections for foot and ankle arthritis, tendon and ligament problems.
University Foot & Ankle Institute is a podiatry practice - a group of foot and ankle specialists - with an office in Santa Monica, California. Stem cell injection therapy is offered as one of its non-surgical treatment options for problems of the foot and ankle.
The stem cell page describes injections given to relieve pain and to support repair of damaged tissue, and presents this as an alternative for patients who want to avoid or delay surgery. The wider practice provides the usual range of podiatric care, including surgery, alongside these injections.
The website does not say what tissue the stem cells are taken from, whether they come from the patient or from a donor, or how they are prepared. That is an important gap: the source of the cells affects both cost and regulatory status, so it is worth asking the clinic directly. Costs are not published either.
No cell source is named anywhere on the stem cell page.
The practice is a podiatry group with an office in Santa Monica, California and other Southern California locations. Languages listed for Dr. Baravarian are English, French, Spanish, Farsi and Hebrew. The website does not state the year the practice was founded, does not publish opening hours on this page, and does not describe a formal service for patients travelling from abroad.
No prices or consultation fees are published. Ask the office what the injection costs, and whether any part of the visit is billed to insurance.
