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

Dominican Republic, Punta Cana

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.

I’ve noticed a massive improvement with my brain and how my body feels. I suffer from seizures and since I started my treatment I’ve been seizure free. There’s no words to describe how relieved I am to feel normal again. My memory and motor skills have also improved. I’m extremely grateful to Norton and his team.

I don’t have enough words to express my gratitude to the entire OmniStem team. From the very first moment, their facilities impressed us: they are extremely clean, well organized, and have a welcoming atmosphere that brings a lot of peace during times of uncertainty. We want to highlight the highly specialized and human way they have treated my partner, Bernard. We are deeply impressed by their professionalism and, above all, by the optimism and hope they gave us by giving him a new chance to improve his health. A special thanks to Vanessa, who has been a fundamental pillar in guiding my husband from day one, and whose dedication in following up on his progress has been invaluable. Beyond my husband’s treatment, I want to make a special mention of the team’s human quality. When I injured my ankle, it was Vanessa who took the initiative to call me on my cell phone and coordinate a taxi to pick me up and take me to the clinic to treat my injury. I was treated by them at no cost at all; a gesture that was beyond my expectations and that demonstrates their true spirit of service. They are not only experts in what they do, but they genuinely care about the wellbeing of everyone around them. If you’re looking for a medical center where technical excellence is combined with warm, personalized care, this is the place. Thank you for taking care of us with so much dedication. Totally recommended!

We have been 2 times. Hubby was able to avoid shoulder surgery and he went from bad daily pain, to completely a normal shoulder, started lifting again and heavy. Then his bicep tore. We just got back ad hope it works as well! The facility is FIRST CLASS for sure and the Dr’s are just incredible and very smart! we love that the lab is there as well. Carla and the rest of the staff are just a 12 on a scale from 1-10. Truly no words on HOW amazing all of them are. We have sent a few others there as well who have all had wonderful experiences and feel so much better! We will go back!

This is an incredible facility run by some remarkable people. I did months of research prior to deciding on where I would pursue regenerative therapy. I have micro tears in the ligaments in my back from military military service which cannot be cured through surgery or medical intervention. I’ve lived with constant pain for almost 2 decades now, and was looking for something that would relieve the pain and improve my quality of life. The treatment that I received through OmniStem was not just incredibly caring and non-intrusive, but it was highly effective. I stand now, eight months removed from my therapy sessions with a remarkable increase in my quality of life. My pain has significantly subsided to the point where I went from constant daily pain to mild occasional inconvenience. In addition to the back treatment, I also underwent their scalp injection therapy and nebulization treatment. My hair looks significantly fuller than it did prior to the procedure, and as a direct result of the nebulization treatment, I can say that my chronic and severe insomnia has been completely cured. I went from sleeping irregularly with several days a week with either no or little sleep for my entire life to sleeping between seven and eight hours every single night since the procedure. I would highly recommend this clinic both because of the quality of their stem cells, the quality of the care that they provide and incredible quality of the people that work that on these Omnistem.

I went to OmniStem to get treatment for my herniated disc in my lumbar spine and for my partial meniscus tear in my right knee. I found a caring and professional team doctors and health industry technicians that guided me through a very detailed process in preparation for my procedures. The equipment used in the facility is top of the line as well as the knowledge and expertise of the people using them. I am very happy I chose OmniStem for my treatment and decided to write this review hoping others can find the relief I did.
