After four botched surgeries, I almost gave up on my ankle ever healing. I was left with a limp and several lumps on my ankle, which made it difficult to maintain balance. I was in constant pain, and I did not think it was possible for my ankle to ever heal.

We saw the advertisement for the Foot & Ankle Institute of Miami Beach, and we waited about 3 months before we finally gave it a shot. I was skeptical, to say the least. I read what other patients had to say about stem cell treatment, and I decided to try it without any expectations.

I have to admit, the technology is a breakthrough. It works. I could not be happier about my decision to meet Dr. Guyen. I have never met a physician more committed to help her patients heal.

To all those who consider stem cell treatment, please note that it does not happen overnight. It takes time and patience. It is a long journey, but it is totally worth it. I can now move my foot more than I have ever been able to since my injury. My injury happened 20 years ago, so it is going to take some time to heal. Other treatments failed me, but I am sure that with stem cell therapy the function of my ankle will be fully restored.

I began treatment about a year ago, and I will continue. The treatments from Dr. Guyen helped me make serious progress. I am no longer a skeptic, and I wholeheartedly encourage others to look into stem cell therapy.
