Hi everyone, my name is Dana Kurnabi, pediatric and ICU physician, and I'm here learning all about the amazing things about stem cell and regenerative medicine as well as light therapy. Our goal is to really help people. My thoughts about the certification is that it's, it's not about really about the certification. It's about the knowledge that you're gaining. And then with that knowledge, being able to take it and really do good with it through providing these therapies to people who may be suffering from inflammation or colonic illnesses, who some, some of them have not, have lost hope, you know, and really helping them, that brings so much more peace and reward back to us as providers and physicians. I really do feel like you coming here, you have to be thinking about, you know, you have to harbor that really good energy as well in terms of like, how are you going to help your patients and how are you going to use this to help your patients? But also like, how are you going to to help the community around you. And I think that's the most benefit. It's not only learning about this, but also meeting with the people here, having really amazing energy to share with each other, sharing success stories, helping each other out, and really being able to profit your patients in the community. And that is, is essential.
Hi, my name is Dr. Elizabeth Izaldez.
I'm owner of Organic Well located in Miami Coconut Grove. How is this program helping me? It's helping me by learning the right way of carrying out stem cells. Knowing the ethical ways that this process is done so that I'm really delivering the best care to my patients. My thoughts of the program this far is that it is absolutely exceptional. It's very thorough. Dr. Kang is just amazing.
I'm Dr. Maryam Hitchmat, founder and medical director of VIP Med Spa Clinic in San Diego, California. It was amazing. I'm actually starting into aesthetic medicine and of course regenerative medicine. I already working with so many other product that is in regenerative medicine. The only thing I wanted to add on to my practice was stem cell therapy. So I was so excited and I had so many questions, which was answered very nicely in this topic. And also Dr. Joy Kong is very knowledgeable. This is the best way if you're thinking about it, if you have even doubt about stem cell therapy and how can help you in your practice, I think this is a course you should attend.
My name is Kirby Barantes and I'm from Olympia, Washington, and I am a family medicine provider. I am a doctor of nursing practice. The certification is really good and I'm pretty sure this is going to help me and not only me, but of course, you know, the clientele that I have. I'm going to introduce stem cell therapy to my clients. I'm pretty sure they will also be excited to learn more about this. Program is very intuitive and I love the fact that I am able to meet other providers, other doctors here. I am going to recommend this program to whoever wants to learn more about stem cell therapy.
I'm Dr. Chelsea Groh. I'm a board-certified neurologist. The program has been wonderful. It's covered all the basic fundamentals of stem cells, the how and the why they work, and then the more practical protocols and procedure. It really covers all of that. So I got my first treatment here and I'm excited, and so far so good. I can't wait to see the outcome, but I'm excited. Definitely, I would highly recommend it. Dr. Kong is amazing and her staff are wonderful. So definitely thumbs up, 100% recommendation.
Hi, I'm Angela Bennett. I'm a nurse practitioner from Yuma, Arizona, and I'm here at a conference from my clinic, Peak Weight Loss and Wellness. So I heard about this certification through another conference I was at. Some of my practitioner friends had mentioned this program because I want to introduce stem cells to my clients. So I went online, looked at the conference, and here I am. So far, this program is more than I expected. I'm getting more information. I love the handouts. I like having the information before I came, so it's not so overwhelming. And having that information before you come is very nice to be able to absorb what is being taught, and so you're not overwhelmed.
I am Dr. Jennifer Beatty. I heard of this program through learning more about Dr. Joy Kong and the amazing work she's doing and the opportunity to do something different in medicine. I think this is an amazing opportunity to make a difference with human cells and change people's lives. I think medicine has just kind of not been able to advance the way it should, and I think this is an opportunity to give something different to patients. I'd highly recommend all the videos that Dr. Joy Kong does as well. So you have a better understanding. So when you come here, you can fully immerse yourself in the treatment plan.
My name is John Garrett. I own a med spa in Missouri. We watched Dr. Kong's YouTube videos and was always very impressed. She seemed very knowledgeable, so we were excited to come out here and meet her in person. It's been everything we hoped it would be. I just received the stem cells a couple hours ago and I feel great. Cannot complain about anything physical in my body right now. I feel very good, so I'm excited about that. Would absolutely recommend this program to anyone that is interested in stem cells.
My name is Andrina McDonald. I'm a nurse practitioner and I'm from Toronto, Canada. I've been following Dr. Joy Kong for quite a long time and really interested in stem cell therapy. So this certification is helping me in my practice to help my patients. I'm learning exactly how to— the technique and the procedures that Dr. Kong uses. The program's been great. It's been informative. Thankful that I'm getting to meet a lot of other providers that are also doing this type of treatments and are interested in doing, in stem cells as well.
There are increasing number of practitioners who are recognizing the power of stem cell therapy. This is evidenced by how many doctors who are attending our training. Each time we have so many more doctors.
