I am writing this review because I am excited. After 2 years and over 10 doctors, I can finally say my shoulder feels great. I was diagnosed with shoulder rotator cuff tear. I had cortisone shots, and therapy without significant improvement. My orthopedic surgeon insisted that surgery is my only option. Knowing some people who have done this surgery and their mediocre results I didn't feel comfortable with the idea of surgery. On researching the web I found that stem cells are helpful. I educated myself and consulted the doctors at Advamced Stem Cell Institute. The Dr spent a lot of time explaining my options, and show stem cells can help me avoid surgery. He reviewed my MRI and I scheduled he procedure. I have to say that their prices are very competitive, as I shopped around several other offices anywhere from $4,500-$. 6,500. I paid only $3,500 and it was the best investment. Now 4 months later I am playing baseball with my son again . If you were offered surgery, look into stem cells.
