Stem Cells Transplant Institute

"I want to thank Dr. Heidy Chávez and everyone at Stem Cells Transplant Institute for the exceptional care I received. They truly care about their patients, and the treatment results have been amazing. I couldn’t be more grateful!"

"We first learned about umbilical cord stem cell treatments earlier this year from a couple who had traveled to Costa Rica, where the husband had successfully received treatment for his knees. After doing our own research on this type of therapy and the Stem Cell Transplant Institute, we decided to give it a try for my husband’s severe back pain and essential tremors. Our thinking was that this treatment might be a better option than undergoing another back surgery. We just completed four days of treatment (a couple of hours each day) for Ron—and unexpectedly, I also received treatment for Raynaud’s, which affects my fingers. The entire experience exceeded our expectations. The staff was amazing and treated us with kindness and professionalism from the very beginning. We were greeted at the airport and transported to our hotel, and on our first day at the clinic, the entire team welcomed us warmly, making us feel completely at ease. Each morning felt like reconnecting with close friends. Transportation was seamlessly arranged via Uber to and from our hotel, and every treatment was performed with precision and care. I had many questions, and each one was answered patiently and thoroughly. We’ve been told we can expect to see improvements in the coming weeks, with results continuing to develop over the next six months. We understand this isn’t a magical cure, but we’re hopeful for increased comfort, reduced symptoms, and more energy. The clinic also provides follow-up calls starting one month after treatment, and they encourage us to reach out with any questions along the way. If you’re considering stem cell therapy, I highly recommend reaching out to the Stem Cell Transplant Institute in Costa Rica. Their knowledgeable and caring staff can answer your questions and schedule a consultation with one of their doctors. We’re very glad we made this decision."

"First of all, everyone was very nice, easy to talk to, and professional. The facilities were extremely clean and modern, and connected to CIMA Hospital. They answered all my questions and kept me informed throughout. They checked on me after my treatment and again that evening. Their prices were very reasonable compared to other stem cell clinics in Escazu, and the quality of their product seemed to be on par with the best. I would highly recommend them, and I would go back myself. The treatment itself was pain-free, due to perfect anethsia. In the evening I felt pain in my low back, the injection area, but took a Tylenol and went to bed. The next day I was able to walk around although I was still stiff and achy. I was told by the staff and doctor to anticipate some pain, so it wasn't a surprise. I'm looking forward to see how the treatment works on my low back pain in the next few months. So far, feeling very good about the experience."

"I had a wonderful experience! I can say thank you enough to Dr. Alvarado and Dr. Chaves, who treated me with exceptional care, providing all the information and spending quality time with me. I feel much better now and keep improving every day. I strongly recommend Stem Cell Transplant Institute!"

"This review is far overdue, but better late than never. Our son has autism and we opted for another round of stem cells after limited success at a different facility in a neighboring country. We are so glad that we opted to go to Costa Rica for the second round. The level of care provided by Dr. Chaves, Jose, and the entire staff is second to none. They are amazing. You feel like family from day one. As for the treatment, we could not be happier at this stage (only two months post treatment). The previous treatment from a different facility had limited impact and even had negative side effects of aggressive behavior. We have seen no negative side effects from the stem cells he received this time. Our son has been nothing but happy and showing signs of improved communication skills. We can't wait to see the progress over the next few months. At which point I will post again with an update on his progress. We are very thankful we chose the Stem Cells Transplant Institute. We highly recommend Dr. Chaves."
