Stem Cell Therapy

Stem cell therapy is a regenerative medicine used to treat osteoarthritis, as well as other injuries, to bones, joints, tendons and spinal cords. The goal of stem cell therapy in dogs is to regenerate tissue in the part of a body that has been damaged from a disease, or is losing function. It is a relatively common procedure and its use is actually increasing. Stem cell therapy is the most effective when it is done early in the disease process.

Stem cell treatment is a two step process. In the first step, fat is collected from the patient, and the stem cells are isolated by a very sophisticated and specialized laboratory procedure. 48 hours later, the stem cells are delivered for injection directly into the affected joint, affected organ, and/or intravenously.

Over 80% of dog owners report improvements after stem cell therapy, making it an effective treatment option. There are alternatives to stem cell therapy. Traditionally vets have been treating degenerative joint diseases with supplements and anti-inflammatory medication and/or surgery. Stem Cell therapy offers a viable alternative to those treatments.

"Great experience. We recently moved to the area and noticed a lump on our dog and made an appointment to establish care and get it looked at. We noticed it growing (or maybe it was my imagination) so I sent an email at 9:30pm to Dr. Gordon's office asking if there were any cancellations to get us in earlier. He personally replied the next morning at 5am saying he could slot us before the other scheduled appointments.When we came in, he and all the staff were very patient and caring. He took his time, did some diagnostics that a different vet didn't do and when we decided to remove the lump he did the surgery; our girl is now recovering. After the surgery, he followed up after-hours and over the weekend to ensure she was doing well. The office was clearly very busy but somehow we never felt rushed.I'm not a medical professional so have no basis to evaluate the actual clinical work but to a layman observer all looks good. What I can say is that Dr. Gordon clearly cares about both his animal patients and their human owners. He has a wonderful"bedside manner"and professionalism and I'm very happy we found him."
