Why Chapala Med Over Any Other Primary Care and Regenerative Medicine Clinic
We didn't build a stem cell clinic. We built a comprehensive medical practice — and then added world-class regenerative medicine on top of it.
A word of caution: Mexico has seen a proliferation of stem cell "clinics" — many of which are marketing operations, not medical practices. They offer aggressive discounts, lack credentialed physicians, and use unverified cellular products. At Chapala Med, we built the opposite: a foundation of 20+ years in primary care, internationally recognized certification, and Latin America's best laboratory partner.
A Real Primary Care Doctor — Not a Sales Operation
Many stem cell clinics in Mexico are run by brokers, not physicians. Dr. Hernández is a board-eligible, AAFP-member, US post-graduate trained family medicine physician with over 20 years of primary care experience. He evaluates your full health history, contraindications, and candidacy before recommending any regenerative protocol.
ISSCA-Certified — Globally Recognized Credentialing
The International Society for Stem Cell Application (ISSCA) sets the global standard for stem cell training and credentialing. Dr. Hernández is ISSCA-certified — a rigorous, internationally recognized credential that most clinics in Mexico do not hold.
CRYOVIDA Partnership — Latin America's Largest Stem Cell Lab
Our cellular therapies are processed and stored by CRYOVIDA, Latin America's largest and most advanced stem cell laboratory. This means pharmaceutical-grade quality control, not improvised processing. The cells used in your treatment meet the highest standards available in Latin America.
Zero Language or Cultural Barriers
Dr. Hernández grew up in Chicago. English is effectively his first language. When discussing something as complex as regenerative medicine protocols, informed consent, and your health history — being able to communicate in nuanced, fluent English is not optional. It is essential.
University of Chicago Medicine Referral Pathway
For complex cases, Chapala Med offers a remote consultation and second opinion referral pathway with University of Chicago Medicine — an NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, the first CAR T-cell treatment center in Illinois, and a world leader in stem cell transplantation. Your care has a world-class safety net.
Continuity of Care — Before, During, and After
Unlike fly-in stem cell clinics that treat you and disappear, Chapala Med provides ongoing primary care. Dr. Hernández monitors your response, adjusts protocols, and coordinates your broader health. Regenerative medicine works best when embedded in comprehensive care.
Hospital Country 2000 Affiliation
Chapala Med is affiliated with Hospital Country 2000, one of Guadalajara's premier private hospitals. If inpatient care, surgery, or emergency services are needed, your care transitions seamlessly within a trusted, established network.
