Stem cell therapy, twenty minutes from San Diego.

Joint and orthopedic indications (knee, hip, shoulder, spine, small joints), autoimmune and metabolic conditions, neurological cases, and longevity / vitality protocols. A physician confirms candidacy after reviewing your imaging and labs.

We use Wharton's jelly mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) from screened, consented umbilical donations. No embryonic tissue. Cells are cultured and verified for viability in our ISO accredited laboratory.

UC-MSC therapy is regulated by Mexico's COFEPRIS and is not FDA approved in the United States. Our protocols are conducted under Mexican regulatory authority by board certified physicians. We explain the regulatory landscape clearly during consultation.

Most patients report initial changes within 4 to 6 weeks and meaningful improvement at 3 to 6 months. Outcomes vary by indication, severity, and protocol. Aftercare check ins at 2, 6, and 12 weeks track progress objectively.

Pricing depends on protocol, dose, and number of sites. Single joint UC-MSC protocols typically begin in the mid five figure range. High dose IV and multi joint packages are quoted on the consult call once a physician has confirmed your plan.

The clinic is twenty minutes from San Diego International. We arrange private transfer, English fluent escort, and a curated recovery suite. Most patients fly home the day after treatment.

A fair concern. Our clinic sits in Tijuana's established medical district, separate from areas associated with risk. We handle all ground transportation through vetted private drivers, so your route is airport, hotel, clinic. The vast majority of our patients travel without incident.

For most patients, far less than expected. Joint injections are done under ultrasound guidance with local anesthetic and typically take 20 to 40 minutes. IV protocols are a 60 to 90 minute infusion in a quiet, private room. Discomfort is usually mild and short lived. You walk out the same day.

Often, no. Many orthopedic and aesthetic protocols are designed as a single visit. Autoimmune, neurological, and longevity cases sometimes benefit from a second round at 6 to 12 months. Your physician discusses this openly during your consultation, not after you have already booked.

Usually not, but a few categories matter. NSAIDs and corticosteroids are paused before and after most cell protocols because they blunt the regenerative response. Blood thinners may need a brief hold. Immunosuppressants are reviewed case by case. We send a clear, personalized medication plan with your pre-treatment instructions, in coordination with your prescribing physician.

Pack extra. Bring noticeably more of your routine medications than your trip length requires — ideally a few extra days’ worth in your carry-on, separate from checked luggage. Flight delays, an extended monitoring stay, or border-day timing can all push your return back a day or two, and refilling a US prescription in Mexico is not always quick. Keep medications in their original labeled bottles when crossing the border.

Your case manager and the broader TrueCell team stay reachable 24/7 for up to three years after treatment. We send aftercare protocols, follow up on agreed timelines, and remain available for questions, concerns, or adjustments as your case evolves. You are not handed off to a portal.

Yes, and we encourage it. Companions ride in the same private vehicle at no extra charge, are welcome at consultations and visits where appropriate, and can book a room at our partner accommodations at a reduced rate. Most patients tell us they would not want to make the trip alone.

An honest answer: stem cell therapy is not a guarantee, and any clinic promising one is a clinic to walk away from. Candidacy review exists precisely to filter out the cases where the science does not support a likely benefit. For patients who proceed, we track outcomes objectively, and if response is below expectation we discuss adjuncts, a second round, or honest referral elsewhere.

Yes. We work with medical financing partners that offer monthly installment plans for qualifying patients, often with same day approval. Wire transfer, major credit cards, and HSA / FSA where eligible are also accepted. Your concierge walks through options once a protocol is confirmed.
