I would love to start this review by mentioning Paola first because she is absolute dynamite. She will be your first point of contact when reaching out to Novastem and your concierge during the process. I sent her a message via Whatsapp and within minutes had a consultation set up! Through out the entire process, she has responded to my inquiries, questions, concerns, and comments with professionalism, speed, and integrity. I am so grateful she is the forefront of this business because it paves the way for the rest of the staff you will be meeting.
Novastem was the first place I had a consultation with (in person) to perform a stem cell therapy treatment into my L4 disc. Dr. Izquierdo and Dr. Felix both sat in on the consultation and helped advise me on which procedure would work best for my situation. Having two specialists review my MRI and devise a plan of action so strategic, made this experience and consultation a lot easier. They were able to quote me an average amount of cells they believe would work, the exact procedure they would do, and how I would receive the best results.
I am a 31 year old active surfer and weight loss coach so I am constantly out and about, living a fun active life. I suffered a L4 disc herniation during work 6 years ago and over the last 8 months developed debilitating pain, soreness, and weakness in my lower back. Traditional doctors suggested a spinal fusion but I was not ready to lose mobility in my lumbar spine.
You walk into Novastem wondering if you are in a Beverly Hills office because the rooms are chic, modern, and exclusively for YOU. I had stem cells injected into my L4 disc, PRP & stem cells injected into my epidural space (flooding my lower spine), as well as the facet joints from L3-S1. I am currently 4 weeks post procedure and I am already feeling the good effects!! I had lost the feeling in my right leg due to the disc sitting on my spine, that all came back within 3 weeks, I am riding my bicycle, and ultimately living life as though I never had an injury.
We had numerous consultations done with other offices both in state & out of state and we returned to novastem because it truly offered the best procedures, for the best price, and the best service. I would 10/10 recommend setting up a consultation and see how novastem can change your life too!!!
