Questions to ask any stem cell clinic before deciding, Cellora included

Group one, credentials and oversight: who performs the procedure, with what licence, under which regulator does the facility operate, and what verifiable designation does it hold.

Group two, source and standards: autologous or donor cells, from which tissue, cultured where, how contamination is tested and whether the results are shown to you.

Group three, risk: what side effects are common, what serious events have occurred, what monitoring is in place during administration, and whom to contact if problems arise after returning home.

Group four, measures and follow-up: what will show whether it worked, how long before assessment is meaningful, what retesting is required and whether follow-up is included in the price.

Group five, cost: what the total covers, what may be charged extra, the policy if the plan changes after results, and whether receipts or documentation for claims are provided.

Warning signs: avoiding written answers, pressure to decide via time-limited discounts, and claims of guaranteed outcomes without cited sources.
