Cortisone shots in my damaged right shoulder and physical therapy alone did not repair my shoulder. After recommendations by the surgeon, who was about to replace my shoulder, I contacted Dr Pearl at the Boston Stem Center.

Staff and scheduling

My experience here has been fantastic. I received a stem cell injection in my right knee where I had ACL surgery 25 years ago.

Reported improvement

I am a seventy-six year old patient of Dr Pearl. I have suffered for over twenty-five years with extreme knee pain in both knees. I have helped run a family business for over forty--five years.

Avoided surgery

I have severe osteoarthritis which limited my daily activities. I did not want a knee replacement, which seemed like my only option. Upon doing much research on alternatives to surgery, I found Dr. Pearl.

Ask before you book

A clinic that answers these clearly is a different proposition from one that deflects. Take the list with you.

  1. 1Which specific product do you use, and is it my own tissue or a purchased donor product?
  2. 2Is it being used as a 361 HCT/P, or under an FDA investigational new drug application?
  3. 3Who performs the injection: the physician of record, or a PA or nurse practitioner?
  4. 4What is the total cost, and what happens if a second treatment is needed?
  5. 5What outcome data do you keep on your own patients for my specific condition?
  6. 6How many of these have you done for this indication, and what does a poor result look like?

What it is likely to cost

Boston Applied Biologics has not published pricing, which is true of almost every clinic in this category. Insurance almost never covers the injection itself, though the consultation, imaging and any conventional treatment in the same visit often are covered.

Ask for the total in writing, including whether a second injection is billed separately, and ask for the CPT codes so you can check coverage yourself before you commit.
