Had PRP injections for neck and lower back. With this procedure and physical therapy, the pain was significantly reduced, no more numbness in limbs, and I can sleep at night. Dr. Lewis and staff do a great job of taking care of you and making sure you have everything you need to succeed.

This should be your first choice for pain management or orthopedic issues. The physicians and staff are knowledgeable, courteous and friendly. They were very accommodating for an out of state patient. Dr Lewis and his team are professional and genuinely care about helping their patients. I highly recommend them for PRP and stem cell therapy. Do your homework and you will find they are at the leading edge of this field of medicine.

After sustaining a debilitating back injury during my first year of running my physically demanding forestry business, a primary care doctor recommended surgical options. Consequently, I embarked on a research journey into regenerative medicine and discovered Dr. Lewis and the highly professional medical team at Northwestern Center for Regenerative Medicine. Initially, I explored stem cell options, but Dr. Lewis suggested a more cost-effective platelet-rich plasma option derived from my own body. Now, 10 months later, I am incredibly pleased with the procedure and intend to pursue this approach for future injuries or maintenance as I transition into my mid-40s. Since the procedure, I haven’t relied on over-the-counter pain medication, which has been a staple of my daily routine for most of my life. Thank you to Dr.Lewis and his amazing team!

Last summer I had stem cells and plasma placed in my two knees, lower back and hip. Before then I was unable to walk without a back brace and I was in a lot of pain. Now I am feeling much better and I'm able to golf, hike and ride my bike again. The Regenerative Center is giving me nutrition support, exercises and has assisted me in losing 40 pounds. I feel years younger and I'm looking forward to playing with my granddaughter. I strongly recommend this procedure as I tried and failed at many other medical procedures. Dr Lewis is wonderful. He listens to your symptoms and is excellent.
The only drawback is cost. I found it was well worth the sacrifice and I strongly recommend his work.

I had the super PRP injected in both knees and stem cells injected into the right knee for bone on bone pain. Six months later I can say the left knee feels good with just some stiffness remaining and my right knee, which was the one that had the stem cells injected, is about 70% better. I am able to take walks again and hike up to 7 miles. I still do occasionally have the bone on bone pain; but, it will occur for a few steps then subside. They told me the stem cell procedure will continue to work up to one year, so, six more months before I have a final outcome. Because of the procedure I am walking and hiking again, which was the goal of having this done. I am recommending this procedure to others with one caveat, the pain during the procedure was quite intense. This is not a procedure for sissies.
Lastly, and importantly, the staff is professional, knowledgable, kind, and responsive. I chose Regenexx because they follow all clients after their procedure for progress regarding the results and because of their deep experience with stem cell science.

After three years my knee needed some additional attention. Dr Lewis asked me to come in for more platelets. That procedure was completed about two months ago-my best way to tell you how it worked: I went from not being able to walk Costco to walking Butchart Gardens-52 acres.
With more platelets and a few weeks of PT I am walking normal-no more limp-and no more inflammation.
I highly recommend meeting with Dr Lewis and staff if you are experiencing any joint discomfort. You will not be sorry!
Knee replacement was the only choice I was offered- twice. That just was not the best choice for me personally. I did my research and chose to see if stem cell regeneration would work. I had very high hopes- and Dr Lewis and crew came through with flying colors. It’s just been two weeks since my procedure and I am very pleased with results. Hoping for continued improvement- but I’m walking, climbing stairs and have no pain.
Eight week mark. I have finished six weeks of physical therapy. I’m calling this my own little miracle. Every day is better than yesterday and I know that progression will continue for months to come
If you are having joint difficulty do yourself a favor and check out Regenerex before you let the surgeons replace your joint. It’s heavenly to be walking, climbing, squatting and exercising with no pain
Special thanks to Dr Lewis, Johanna and crew.

This review was actually written in May 2025, and I forget to hit send:(. I am just 3 weeks out after my SCP procedure/injections, so the results are not yet in....BUT, couple of things: Amazing staff, Amazing Doc (Dr. Lewis)- so kind and eager to heal you. Regenerative Medicine is starting to become more mainstream, thank goodness. My treatment included extensive blood work, and while my numbers were not horribe- Dr. Lewis felt like my symptoms were indicitive of a hormone imbalance. Sometimes you dont know just how bad your "normal" is until your delicate hormone balance is corrected. Im excited to see how my injections work out, but while I am waiting I feel 10 years younger. I am very grateful to you guys!
