Careful evaluation before recommendations
Dr. Antonio Esparza brings a whole-patient approach to regenerative medicine. His medical experience helps him consider health history, lifestyle, age, mobility, long-term wellness, and current symptoms before recommending a care plan. For patients in Mérida, Progreso, Chelem, and across Yucatán, he explains options clearly and discusses regenerative support options only when they may be appropriate for the individual patient.
Important note:
The role of the doctor is to help you understand options, risks, candidacy, and realistic expectations. No treatment is appropriate for every patient, and individual results vary.

Frequently Asked Questions
Am I a candidate?
Candidacy depends on your diagnosis, health history, medications, testing, imaging, and goals. A personalized evaluation is recommended before treatment decisions.
Are stem cell treatments legal in Mexico?
Yes. Umbilical cord stem cell and regenerative medicine services can be legally provided in Mexico when performed by properly licensed medical professionals and facilities that follow Mexican health regulations. At Neo-Cells, every patient is evaluated individually, and treatments are performed under medical supervision with a focus on safety, transparency, and responsible care.
What treatment is right for me?
Every patient is different. Dr. Esparza reviews your medical conditions, history, eating habits, previous treatments, tests, and expectations before discussing options.
How many days do I need?
The number of days depends on your needs, diagnosis, protocol, recovery plan, and whether testing has already been reviewed. The team can help estimate timing.
Will I need someone to accompany me?
It depends on your treatment plan and overall health condition. Many patients travel comfortably on their own, but for certain procedures or if you prefer extra support, having a companion can be helpful. Our team will guide you before your trip so you know what to expect.
Do you help with transportation, hotels, and airport pickup?
Yes. We help coordinate transportation, airport pickup, hotel options, and local recommendations to make your visit to Yucatán as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
How is Neo-Cells different from other stem cell clinics?
Neo-Cells offers a more personalized and integrative experience. Dr. Esparza takes the time to carefully evaluate each patient, including ultrasound assessment when needed, to better understand their condition and create a personalized treatment plan. We also combine regenerative medicine with a recovery wellness approach, including healthy nutrition, restorative rest by the beach, massage therapy, and supportive therapies designed to help the body recover in the best possible environment.
Where do the stem cells come from?
Patient education may discuss MSC sources such as umbilical cord, placenta-derived donors, and Wharton jelly. Specific products and suitability should be reviewed in consultation.
How long does it take to see results?
Some patients may notice gradual changes in three to eight weeks, while maximum improvement, when it occurs, may take three to six months. Results vary.
What are common side effects?
Possible symptoms can include pain, swelling, redness at the injection site, fatigue, nausea, fever, or mild flu-like reactions. Discuss symptoms with the care team.
Is insurance accepted?
Many regenerative therapies are not covered. Some policies may cover related services such as prolotherapy, physical therapy, or selected intravenous support. Verification is recommended.
Do I need medication after treatment?
It is not always necessary, but some patients may need pain control. Anti-inflammatory medications may be restricted. Follow your doctor instructions.
Will I need a second dose or maintenance?
That depends on the condition, response, and goals. Some cases may discuss a second session or maintenance; others may not.
What affects cost?
Cost can depend on testing needs, treatment location, type and quantity of orthobiologics, physician involvement, recovery supports, and logistics.
Can I follow up after returning home?
Yes. Follow-up questions are encouraged because recovery and response vary from patient to patient.
