About ProgenCell - Stem Cell Therapies
Our Mission at ProgenCell is to “Increase the efficiency and quality of life for patients with degenerative diseases.” Implementing research protocols approved by COFEPRIS, our health department, we aim to provide effective stem cell treatments for patients in a safe environment marked by professionalism, honesty, and top-quality facilities.
Since 1987, Dr. Jorge Gavino has been at the forefront, performing all types of orthopedic surgery including hip and knee replacements. During their discussions on a knee procedure involving bone marrow in cartilage regeneration, they recognized the high level of Stem Cells as pivotal for the bone marrow’s regenerative capability. This revelation spurred their research into various applications of Stem Cells in repairing bone, cartilage, and muscle tissue. Doctors Gavino & Romero observed that Stem Cells positively influenced patients’ immunological conditions. Their promising research highlighted the impacts of stem cells on conditions like fibromyalgia, systemic lupus, and diabetes mellitus. Further exploration revealed the benefits of injecting stem cells into damaged tissue, leading to improvements in conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer’s, Maculopathy, and Retinopathy.
With the singular aim of enhancing patients’ quality of life, they founded ProgenCell, bringing these groundbreaking procedures closer to the public. These treatments are administered in state-of-the-art facilities, sidestepping the common inconveniences of traditional hospitals, like elevated costs and risks of airborne viruses.
ProgenCell proudly stands in Zona Rio Tijuana, located just a short distance from the international border between Mexico & the USA. The institution’s operation is bolstered by a multidisciplinary medical committee, comprised of specialists from diverse fields.

I highly recommend ProgenCell. They offer a driver to pick you up at the San Deigo Airport. Shout out to Laura my driver she is the best! The staff are friendly, and the full experience was great. There is a hotel on sight to stay at after your injection if needed. Great places to eat. If you plan on flying out the next morning the medical pass lane to cross the border doesn't open until 7am. So please schedule your flight to reflect this.

This is my first time doing treatment for my daughter, naturally I was afraid. The coordinator to the Doctors and nurses were very compassionate and took good care of my daughter. The treatment went smoothly. I would recommend this facility and Doctor to anyone. They are quick to respond and will answer all of your questions. They were very accommodating of my scheduling needs.

It has been one month since getting stem cells in both of my shoulders at ProgenCell and I couldn’t be happier! I started to feel improvement in less than two weeks but wanted to wait a month to give a better review. Kimberly was amazing to work with, her communication and follow up was exactly what I hoped for and is always very friendly. She also coordinated a driver to pick me up from San Diego and back- having the medical pass was essential to getting through customs faster. Dr. Gavino and his staff did an excellent job keeping me informed throughout the procedure and informing me of things to do after the procedure.I’ve had shoulder pain for over 10 years now and one month after getting stem cells my shoulders feel amazing! I definitely recommend ProgenCell stem cell therapy.

Our experience was absolutely wonderful! The doctors and staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and explained everything clearly. They were sensitive and responsive to all our questions and needs. Additionally, the clinic was the most clean establishment we have ever experienced anywhere. It absolutely sparkled. Kimberly was extraordinary in coordinating schedules, keeping us informed of what was needed from us, and timely in all correspondence - she is an absolute rock star! Our driver, Laura, transported us to and from the airport and hotel, is another gem! Not only was she helpful in providing information about the clinic and the area, but she said she was available by phone 24/7 if we had any questions or concerns. This came in handy as we couldn’t reach the clinic after hours with a concern following one of the treatments. Laura was immediately able to reach staff for us. Staff from the clinic called us within 5 minutes to reassure us and answer all questions. Again, we had a great experience with ProgenCell and plan to return for a follow up treatment.

Nice people, but prices change dramatically based on volume of service. We planned on being a returning customers; However, the price of treatment for the same stem cell package changed from $2242.00 to $3200.00 in just a less than a month. No consideration for returning customers.

My family has being going to Progen Cell therapies for years. We have enjoyed some of the best treatment and bedside manner available. Can’t recommend them enough. Both the doctors and the administrative staff are very knowledgeable and ensure that patients take well informed decisions.

We looked at several different facilities and we talked to “several” different clinics, but we chose to use Progencell. This was largely based on wanting to build a relationship with a team of professionals that would take time to get to know my issues and concerns.The entire staff was extremely professional, very knowledgeable, and courteous. Everything was clean and comfortable. Staying close at the Quartz hotel was a nice benefit with made the procedure more relaxing and less stressful.Our first visit we took the trolley down to San Ysidro and crossed the border on foot. There was transportation available and the clinic was very close by; however, We actually walked instead of using the shuttle.On our 2nd trip, (which lasted for 3 day’s) we drove down to Tijuana and stayed at the Quartz hotel which had clean, safe parking and it was extremely nice place to stay. My wife found shopping in the Plaza and Revolution street enjoyable and a good way to occupy the time between treatments.After my treatment on Tuesday, we took a drive down the coast and were never concerned about safety. The ocean views we incredible and provided great memories of a fantastic trip.I expect that I will need more stem cell therapy in the future and I will be going back to the team and Progencell because I trust their service is honest, valid, that the entire staff is comprised of professionals who care about quality and service.James Burnett

My mom and I just had some IV therapies done and felt super sick afterwards. I had to have them remove the IV because we felt so nauseous and sick, not to mention the headache I got afterwards.Whatever they put in their IV’s is not healthy or normal. I’ve had many IV bags before and none ever made us feel this sick.Also, the front desk told us it would be $95 for immunity and $10 extra for glutamine.. in the end she ended up charging us $195 each.

I was first introduced to ProgenCell when my husband obtained their services for his knees. After seeing the outstanding outcome in his ability to walk and run again, without pain, I was amazed. A few years later, I started to relapse with my auto immune condition, Dermatomyositis, which also triggered a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. The pain was unbearable and the swelling and inflammation was a constant battle. I decided to try the stem cell treatment for my conditions, not with the idea that it would cure them but with the idea that it could help me live a more pain free and functional life and possibly help me wean off the nasty medications that I had been taking for so long. After my first stem cell treatment, I noticed an increase in my energy. Although the pain was still lingering, it started to subside after about a month or so. And now that I have just recently had my second treatment, I am hopeful that I will be able to become even more functional and completely without pain. I am so grateful to have had this opportunity with ProgenCell and they have been nothing but professional, friendly, accomodating and supportive throughout the entire process. They are like a family to me, and my husband, and they have truly helped me stay positive and hopeful for a better, more healthier future! I genuinely recommend them for your wellness needs. Thank you, everyone at ProgenCell!

My husband had expanded stem cell therapy for Multiple Sclerosis. The level of care was exceptional and the doctors and nurses are very professional and explain things very well. The facility and accommodations are beautiful and we felt extremely comfortable there. We are hopeful that the therapy has a positive impact on his quality of life, but will need to wait a few months for results.
