Tijuana clinic established in 2020 offering fresh, non-frozen stem cell treatment and hydrogen therapy, with border crossing and transport help for visitors.
The US Mexico Stem Cell Institute is a private clinic in the Zona Urbana Rio district of Tijuana, close to the United States border. The site states the clinic was established in 2020 and that its treatments are approved by COFEPRIS, Mexico's federal health regulator.
Its main point of difference, as described on its own site, is the use of fresh stem cells with no cryopreservatives, rather than cells that have been frozen and thawed. It also offers a molecular hydrogen therapy branded Hydroheal. Patients are screened for more than 20 diseases, including cancer, before treatment. Consultations are stated to be free.
An important gap: the site does not say what tissue the cells come from — whether donated umbilical cord, the patient's own fat or bone marrow, or another source. Only one doctor is mentioned, given as 'Dr Ivan' and described as a member of Mexico's Stem Cell Council, with no surname or qualifications published. Both points are worth clarifying before booking.
The clinic lists conditions ranging from lung disease to infertility. Ask what evidence supports the use of stem cells in your particular condition and discuss it with your own doctor.
The site does not name the tissue its cells come from, which is a significant omission when comparing clinics.
Only a first name is given for the treating doctor, with no surname or formal qualifications.
The clinic is at Jose Maria Velazco 2440, Zona Urbana Rio Tijuana, 22010 Tijuana, Baja California, and can be reached on +1 (385) 323-9166. It is open Monday to Saturday from 8am to 8pm and closed on Sunday. The site says it was established in 2020. For patients travelling from the United States it offers VIP transport, help with expedited border crossing and accommodation arrangements. Languages spoken are not stated.
No actual prices are published. The clinic makes comparative claims about being cheaper than United States providers and offers to beat other Tijuana clinics' prices by 10 percent, but you would need to contact them for a figure.
