Umbilical-cord stem cell therapy at a boutique clinic in Panama City
The Regeneration Clinic of Panama, known online as Regenerate Panama, is a boutique stem cell clinic in Panama City. It works with adult allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells taken from Wharton's jelly in donated umbilical cords, and it runs its own lab in the Sortis Business Tower, where the cells are cultured and batch-tested before use. Treatment is built around a personalized protocol rather than a fixed package. After an intake review, the medical team proposes a plan that usually runs 3 to 7 days: preparatory IV nutrition and vitamin drips first, then the stem cell infusions, given by IV in most cases and by injection into a joint when an orthopedic problem is being treated. Patients typically stay in Panama for up to ten days. The clinic treats a broad range of conditions, including autoimmune diseases such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and other neurological conditions, joint and sports injuries, Crohn's and other inflammatory bowel disease, cardiovascular conditions, autism, and general anti-aging and longevity. These therapies are not approved by the FDA and are considered investigational. The clinic quotes each protocol after an assessment; published costs run from about $5,000 to $30,000 and cover bloodwork, IV therapy, the infusions, and airport transfers. It is not covered by insurance.

Experience
Great care and plenty of information about the treatment and care. Everyone is well informed about the procedures, professional & knowledgeable. Accommodations were very nice as well. Dr Ponte was very professional and thorough. The clinic was very clean and seemed very high tech and state of art.
Experience
I went in November and received treatment on my shoulders. Unfortunately I was seeing absolutely ZERO positive effects. My good shoulder actually has gone bad since. The post care was not existent. The people are very nice and the facilities is nice, but I wish more people would have told there after effects. I spent a lot of money with no results.
Experience
Both knees are feeling great 7 days after procedure. My left knee has a slight tear in miniscus, my right knee is arthritic from acl tear in 1996. 2 days after injections my wife and I was enjoying a mini vacation touring Panama. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to avoid surgery. 5 stars to Regeneration clinic of Panama.

r/stemcells is the only place with real discussion, spread over several threads. Some posters report improvements after treatment for stroke recovery and joint problems, and praise the in house lab and named doctors. Others report no change months later, quotes near 20,000 dollars, and sales calls that felt like pressure.
