Patient First Regenerative Medicine: Is Your Doctor Local?

Regenerative medicine, or stem cell therapy, is an exciting field of practice. As medical researchers explore the applications of using the body’s own cells for healing, new therapies are becoming available.

Many patients have discovered the healing benefits of stem cell therapy, which has allowed them to avoid surgery, regain mobility, and reduce pain. Our own Dr. Schina and Dr. Teller have embraced this field of medicine because we have seen it work. Our focus has always been on helping patients overcome chronic pain and injury in restorative and lasting ways.

When stem cell therapy, or regenerative medicine, is an indicated treatment for a patient’s condition, we discuss it with the patient and offer recommendations based on existing evidence.

Does Stem Cell Therapy Work for All Pain?

Notice that we recommend stem cell therapy when there is evidence that it could be effective for a condition. We are continually reviewing the research and following trials in this groundbreaking field. If the research does not indicate regenerative therapy as a treatment, we do not suggest it to a patient during our consultations.

This may seem like something that should go without saying, but we have found that it’s important to acknowledge what these treatments can and can’t do. Just as doctors can prescribe a medication for something not listed on the label if they think it may work, they can also perform medical procedures in an “off-label” manner.

Our practice is committed to operating at the highest level of ethics and good faith at all times. We go through a complete consultation process with every patient so that we fully understand their medical issues, as well as their goals for treatment. Many people come to us in the hope that stem cell therapy will heal their pain. Our job is to provide medically backed information to give patients a more thorough understanding of what stem cell therapy is and how we use it. Sometimes, it’s not the right treatment. And that’s okay! As compassionate pain management professionals, our doctors are focused on finding the right solutions for every patient.

The Benefits of Working with a Local Provider

Our office in Villanova is where we practice medicine full-time. We live right here in the Philadelphia region. Working with a local provider, rather than one who may travel between regional or national offices, is a valuable benefit to our patients.

It’s not just that working in the same office every day allows us to be most accessible, although that’s really important. It’s also that we tend to have a lot more in common with our patients. We’re all part of the same community, which makes it easier to get to know each other and gain mutual understanding.

Maintaining a single local office allows for the optimal flow of service for every patient. Everyone who contacts our office can speak with a real person right away. Prospective patients will quickly connect with Jerry Penders, our Patient Care Advocate and Educator. Jerry provides a wealth of information to help individuals get acquainted with our practice and our areas of treatment. Patients will also meet with one of our doctors to discuss their treatment plan.

We do our best to keep wait times down to about a week. The faster we get together with patients, the sooner we can identify the appropriate treatment plan and start working on reducing their pain. During and following treatment, our staff remains available to speak with patients about any concerns or questions. We rely on them to tell us how they feel every step of the way so that we can help them get the best outcomes for their health.

Local, Affordable Stem Cell Therapy

The cost of healthcare can be a significant obstacle for many individuals living with chronic pain conditions. Newer fields like regenerative medicine tend to be even more expensive since insurance companies have not yet incorporated it into their policies.

As a local stem cell therapy provider that is focused entirely on helping people get back to living without pain, we take the cost of care very seriously. We want our patients to feel better and heal their chronic conditions without creating an insurmountable financial burden.

We do this by carefully managing costs in every way possible. We maintain one office with state of the art equipment and a highly knowledgeable, streamlined staff. By investing in the quality of our practice, we can operate very efficiently. This means that our overhead is lower in comparison to many larger, national practices, and we can pass that savings along to our patients.

The feeling we want our patients to have when they experience Stem Cells Philadelphia is that we give them the highest level of care and attention at an extremely fair price.

If you have been learning about stem cell therapy, but you’re not sure if it is effective or affordable, please reach out to us! Our team will take the time to answer your questions, make sure you understand how regenerative medicine works and what it treats, and discuss the costs. There is never any pressure to move forward, and we may offer alternatives that are a better fit for your needs. We would love to meet with you in our Villanova office to see if stem cell therapy will help you live a pain-free life.
