Great service Angel kept me through the process with ease, and I was never afraid of nervous about the whole thing. I am not feeling the effects of it and it feels great.

Every aspect of receiving stem cell treatment was top notch. Only one day in and ankle swelling is gone. The spine injections will be slower due to 40 year old spinal fusion but we are grateful for such talent.
I wanted to share an incredible journey that has truly changed my life for the better, and I couldn't be more grateful for the transformation that has taken place.
I have struggled with chronic pain in my ankle and foot for over 20 years. It was a challenge that often limited my mobility and hindered my daily activities. I was told by several doctors that I need a knee replacement and fuse my ankle. However, I am thrilled to share that through the marvels of medical science and the expertise of a few exceptional doctor, I have experienced nothing short of a miracle.
Stem cell therapy, a cutting-edge medical treatment, has been the key to my renewed mobility and freedom from pain. The incredible potential of stem cells to regenerate and repair damaged tissues has made an astounding difference in my life. Thanks to this groundbreaking procedure, I am now able to walk pain-free and enjoy a level of comfort I never thought possible. As I had the procedure done on Friday and walked 17 miles the following day with not realizing it as it didn’t hurt anymore.
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to my dedicated medical team, particularly my doctor, who skillfully guided me through this transformative process. Their expertise, compassion, and commitment to my well-being have truly made a world of difference.
As I reflect on this journey, I am reminded of the remarkable progress we continue to witness in the field of medicine. The power of innovation and the pursuit of knowledge have the ability to reshape lives in profound ways. My own experience serves as a testament to the wonders that can be achieved when science and compassion come together.
Thank you Dr. Lander and Dr. O for changing my life you were both amazing….

Summary: Dr. Lander and his associate Dr. O injected my wrist locally but did so incorrectly and accidentally injected into a branch of the median nerve that goes to my middle finger.
It's been 3 months and I have weakness and electric shocks that go up my middle finger on flexion. Dr. Lander and Dr. O have not been helpful in post-care. You should expect little to know help from them. I've asked for their help to at least compensate me for the additional doctors and physical therapy I've been going to to try and heal my wrist, but they have not responded and its been over a month.
I would not recommend them to anyone. After this experience I've researched quite a bit and found there are many other qualified stem cells doctors that one can go to. Don't feel like they are the only ones because they are certainly not, and they are one of the worst.
Longer version of the above:
It has been almost 3 months now. I still get electric shocks running up my middle finger. I have stiffness and some weakness in my left hand because of it. The moment the injection occurred, I immediately complained about the intense electric shock going down my middle finger. At Dr. O's recommendation, we still went through with the injection.
Dr. O originally told me that the issue would resolve itself in 48 hours. After 48 hours, I was still experiencing the electric shock, stiffness, and weakness. To this I was told that the fluid injected was a lot and needed some time to disperse.
Weeks went by and while some minor improvement has occurred since the injection, the last few weeks I've seen little to no improvement at all. During this time, I had 2 follow-up conversations with Dr. O, in which I received the following explanation and guidance:
1. The reason I was given for the injection going bad (I.e my symptoms) was because my wrist is "too fragile". Respectfully, this is not a medical explanation, and certainly not one acceptable by any of my doctors or myself as the reason for my symptoms and response to the injection. During this conversation, he also stated we would not be doing these local injections going forward, which I agree with, but that isn't a helpful piece of advice at the moment. I wasn’t planning on doing further injections after this experience anyway.
2. The second time I spoke with Dr. O, he said I would need a few weeks to heal.
3. The third time I spoke with the doctor, he said I would now need a few months to heal.
Frankly, if you read the above, it is pretty easy to see why I would be frustrated. At no point was there clear or actionable guidance on how we can #1 understand exactly what the state of my nerve is and #2 how we can resolve the issue via treatment and protocol. Instead, somehow all that work is getting left to me along with all the bills associated with that (co-pays for doctors, medication, physical therapy thus far).
Additionally, while there was insistence from their team that there was no injection into the nerve, I have now spoken with 2 other doctors, one of which is a hand specialist, who agree that an intra-nerve injection occurred and that my symptoms align with this, rather than some form of carpal tunnel. Additionally, when I explained to my hand doctor that we used an ultrasound to avoid nerves, he claimed that even with ultrasound, this type of injection is still considered blind to some degree. This would have been useful information to know prior to even beginning the injections.
I came to them to help me resolve an issue of autoimmune-induced neuropathy and instead, I have left with more nerve damage than what I entered. Someone asked me who I go to for stem cells, and sadly I will not be recommending their practice. I'm frustrated by the injection that occurred and has left me with these shocking sensations, but even more frustrated at the lack of effort from their team to help understand and resolve the issue after almost 3 months when I was originally given a 48 hour healing time window.

This was the worst experience I have ever had with a medical practitioner in my life. I had the treatment due to Rheumatoid Arthritis and was hoping it would help with inflammation and joint repair to my wrists. Elliot slanders manner was atricioys. The anasthetic didn’t work I felt every movement on the extraction of fat. The pain was horrific. He basically told me it was in my head. He changed extraction tools and it made a difference to the speed of the extraction. He yelled at his nurses. The procedure did nothing absolutely zero impact. Their was no patient care. To me it seemed experimental not professional. It was 2015. I worst experience ever do not do it to yourself.
