Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Treatment in OmniStem
About the clinic
Patients seeking regenerative therapy for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) can visit OmniStem in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. Treatment programs at this JCI-accredited clinic may cost around $4,500 to $25,000 depending on the specific protocol and supportive therapies required. The facility features an on-site laboratory that produces triple-certified biologics, including mesenchymal stem cells and exosomes, to help manage lung inflammation.
Dr. Joaquin Montoya serves as the patient care director at OmniStem. He oversees the evaluation and personalized protocol design for each individual. The clinic follows international safety standards and holds accreditation from the Dominican Republic Ministry of Health. Patients traveling from the Eastern US can access the clinic via direct flights and receive VIP airport concierge assistance upon arrival.
Diagnostics and treatment options
The medical team uses specific tests to assess lung health before starting regenerative protocols. These methods aim to modulate the immune response and support airway function.
- Lung function test. Spirometry is used to monitor air volume and flow during the diagnostic phase.
- UC-MSC therapy. This protocol uses mesenchymal stem cells derived from Wharton's Jelly. These cells are delivered via intravenous infusion to address systemic inflammation.
- UC-MSC derived exosome therapy. This method uses nanoscale vesicles filled with growth factors and RNA. The treatment is administered through a nebulizer or IV to deliver signals directly to lung tissue.
- Supportive therapies. Programs often include hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) or ozone therapy to complement the biological infusions.
Stem cell program details
Most treatment programs last between 3 and 5 days. Since these are outpatient procedures, patients do not stay overnight in the hospital but visit the clinic for their scheduled sessions. The biologics used are processed in a GMP-aligned laboratory to verify their sterility, viability, and identity.
- Physician evaluation. Dr. Joaquin Montoya or a staff physician performs a full medical review.
- Treatment administration. This includes the cell infusions or exosome nebulization sessions.
- Follow-up care. Telemedicine consultations are provided after the patient returns home to monitor progress.
- Concierge services. The clinic provides VIP pickup and drop-off at the airport for international travelers.
While these therapies help manage symptoms and inflammation, they are used as a complementary approach alongside standard pulmonology care. The final cost depends on the complexity of the protocol and the number of sessions required. You can request a consultation through Bookimed to learn more about the specific steps for your case.

OmniStem: more details about the clinic
OmniStem is a physician-led regenerative medicine center in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. The facility combines a specialized clinic with an on-site laboratory. Established in 2026, the center focuses on individualized biologic protocols for recovery and resilience. A team of 7 doctors oversees every stage of patient care.
Accreditations and Quality Standards
OmniStem holds JCI accreditation, a recognized international standard for healthcare quality and safety. The clinic is licensed by the Dominican Republic Ministry of Health for both clinical treatments and laboratory banking. All biologics are manufactured in a GMP-aligned laboratory on-site. The center maintains full donor-to-patient traceability for every biologic batch.
Each batch of stem cells undergoes triple certification before use:
- Sterility testing
- Viability assessment
- Identity verification
Patients receive batch-specific records with cell counts and preparation dates. For exosome therapies, preparations are batch-allocated and verified before the medical team clears them.
Regenerative Specialties and Methods
The clinic specializes in Wharton's Jelly-derived umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs). These treatments are delivered through intravenous infusions or localized injections, depending on the clinical goal. Specialists also use UC-MSC–derived exosomes – extracellular vesicles that support cellular communication. All protocols begin with a physician-led evaluation to determine candidacy.
Neurological Support
The neurological department treats stroke, Parkinson's disease, and traumatic brain injury. A standout method is the NeuroBoost Protocol, which delivers exosomes through intranasal administration. This technique aims to bypass the blood-brain barrier to support central nervous system health. The clinic offers these protocols as complementary care alongside standard neurologist-directed treatments.
Respiratory Care
Pulmonology protocols target chronic conditions like COPD, emphysema, and chronic bronchitis. The team uses UC-MSC and exosome therapies to address inflammation in lung tissue. Lung function tests are performed on-site to monitor patient status. These regenerative options work alongside existing pulmonary rehabilitation and prescribed medications.
Musculoskeletal and Longevity Programs
Physicians design protocols for joint pain, sports injuries, and spine conditions like osteoarthritis. The Intelligent Aging program is a structured three-day protocol focused on recovery and vitality. It combines stem cell infusions with nebulized exosomes and supportive therapies. The center also provides cellular support for spinal cord injury rehabilitation through its UCARE model.
Technology and Adjunct Therapies
OmniStem combines regenerative biologics with supportive technologies to improve outcomes. These adjunct services are physician-supervised and matched to each patient's medical profile:
- Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) to enhance tissue oxygenation
- Ozone Therapy – reinfusion of ozone-enriched autologous blood
- Colon Hydrotherapy using a temperature-controlled, closed-loop filtration system
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and PRGF for targeted tissue support
- Physiotherapy and functional nutrition assessments
Infusion sessions typically last around one hour. Localized injections take about 40 minutes.
Services for International Patients
The clinic treats international patients, especially those traveling from the Eastern United States via direct flights. OmniStem provides a VIP airport concierge inside Punta Cana International Airport. Coordination teams arrange private transportation and accommodations in local hotels or villas. Once patients return home, follow-up care continues via telemedicine.
