I had the stem cells done in both knees over six years ago. I had been a semi-serious runner, doing 5k & 10k's on a regular basis with the occasional half marathon thrown in and thru years of running I had put a lot of strain on my knees that already had arthritis. Dr. Donner said I was a good candidate, and I was. Six years later I am still walking, hiking and golfing on knees that don't feel their age anymore without any issues. I have referred my husband and he's now getting ready to try the procedure for his worn out knees. You know if I believe in it enough to recommend it to my husband, they have to be good.

Dr. Donner was very kind and explained everything. I had a stem cell procedure at his clinic. I’m still in recovery so I cannot say whether it worked or not. I’ll know in a few months,
Luc, his medical director, was very compassionate and available for questions whenever I had one. He went out of his way, a 40 minute drive, to deliver anti nausea pills because I was throwing up post procedure,
They both prepared me with what was going to happen. Dr. Donner asked me so many questions that he uncovered another two areas where I had bulging discs. The office scheduled an immediate MRI so Dr. Donner could treat those areas also. I had travelled a long distance and he wanted to save time for me which I really appreciated,
I really appreciate the professional and compassionate way I was treated. I only wish their clinic was closer.
Thank You

Dr. Donner and his staff were professionals extraordinaire. From the moment I arrived at the clinic to my departure it was a great experience. Most importantly, the results have been fantastic. Before the treatment, my shoulder had ached for months and one of my knees was getting progressively painful. After the stem cell treatment I have had virtually no pain and no restriction of motion in both joints. These results have continued for over a year now and have really allowed me to maintain a very active lifestyle. I couldn't be more thankful to Dr. Donner and his crew!

In 2014, I could not stand for five minutes or roll over in bed without pain. I had stenosis, degenerative disc disease, spondylitis,, facet arthopathy, etc. I sold my skis and was in bed half of the day. In 2016, I found out about Dr. Donner and had stem cell injections in my cervical and lumbar discs, and lower facets. It was a miracle for me!! About three to four months later, my pain improved 95 percent - with my back, will always have something. I had 15 injections in 2022 because L2, L3, and L4 all have ruptured discs. That helped my pain so much, and there are times I still have to get my heating pad, but my life is so improved! And I skied all season at Telluride in 2023!
My latest stem cell was for a major meniscus tear in my left knee. I was surprised when I researched and found an article from NIH on meniscus tears and stem cell. I had injections in my knee September 25. Within 10 days, my pain at night improved. Just starting PT (December 6, 2023) and will progress before I ski. Hopefully the tear will be healed, will update.
I highly recommend Dr. Donner for stem cell because he uses your own mesenchymal stem cells - and has been refining the harvesting process for at least ten years. He is an experienced orthopedic surgeon, so that is who you will want for your back and neck. They are also doing research - so much potential. A thank you to Luc also for all of the help and guidance.

I have had four sessions with Dr. Donner with insertions of stem cell infusions in my back and heart area with very good results. With one treatment to my sacroliac joint, which had bothered me for over thirty years, I experenced relief the next day, much sooner than expected. Twenty-five years ago a defective stent was placed in my heart artery causing pain and discomfort, which has been alleviated by stem cell treatments. Dr. Donner has a professional staff and shows a personal interest that instills confidence in the patients. His services are highly recommended.
