How You Can Find The Best Stem Cell Treatment Centers

By Jayne Rutledge


With new clinics and the increasing number of stem cell treatment centers that are consistently coming up on a regular basis, it may be hard for a patient to decide which clinic to go to. Fortunately, there are many quality clinics where you can get good medical care. When choosing a transplant clinic, there are many factors which you should take into consideration so as to ensure you get well.

To get leads on where to get treatment, your first point of reference should be your doctor. Your doctor can recommend clinics where you can get treated. It is also a good idea to talk to other people who have had your condition and ask them where they were treated or if they can refer you to a good clinic. Always check out reviews of any clinic you are thinking of attending. You can find former patient reviews online.

Research more about the clinic and find out if their former patients have been able to recover and are doing well. A good clinic should have a high success rate of treating patients. The clinic should also have the capability of handling patients. This includes having the proper medical equipment and the right support staff. Knowing that you are in capable hands will help to boost your morale while in the hospital, as you know that there are high chances you will get better.

The location of the clinic is important. Clinics close to your home would be ideal if you want social support from your friends and family while you are undergoing treatment. In addition, a clinic closer to home will be quite convenient if you will require regular follow up care. On the other hand, if you find a good clinic which is located far from your home, you can consider getting treatment there. You can go with one or more of your family members for social support.

Paying a visit at the clinic may be a good idea. It will give you an opportunity to review the place and to scrutinize if it provides good care to its patients. Do not be shy to talk to some of the patients or workers at the hospital, so as to find out if the clinic is a good fit for you.

The clinic should have legal accreditation to provide care for patients with your condition. Check with the medical board in the country or state where the clinic is based to ascertain this. Also, the doctor whose care you will be under should have specialized in stem cell therapy.

Talk with your insurance company to see if they provide cover at the clinic you are planning to attend. Your insurer can also provide you with a list of clinics which you can choose from. Most insurers choose hospitals which provide quality care, so you can be sure of excellent services at the selected clinics.

Find out how much you will be expected to pay for the whole operation at different stem cell treatment centers. This is particularly important if you do not have an insurance cover. This will help you know whether you can afford the costs of the operation. If you cannot cover the whole cost, consider asking the hospital if they are connected to any financial institution that can agree to finance the operation and you will repay them later.
