Dr. Joy and Dr. Courtney took excellent care of me.
My immune system due to 3 oral surgeries back to back was quite compromised. After stem cell therapy along with peptide support, my energy level is beyond back! Even my skin texture has improved! Very pleased.

In Dec 2023 my mother developed a severe case of Trigeminal Neuralgia as an adverse reaction to the Moderna Covid vaccine. In March 2024, after several months of unsuccessfully trying everything under the sun (multiple neurologists, multiple hospital visits, various medications, mushrooms, marijuana, lifestyle changes, acupuncture, and chiropractic adjustments) we finally took a leap of faith and tried Dr. Kong’s stem cell treatment, and miraculously we saw immediate next day results. Overnight, her Trigeminal neuralgia was completely gone. We waited with bated breath for it to return over the next several days, weeks, and months, but I’m happy to share that it’s now been over 6 months and she’s been pain free ever since. Dr. Gillenwater and Dr. Mike administered the procedure and were incredibly patient, caring, and professional the entire time, staying late on a Friday evening to accommodate us. Mom was very nervous to try this “fringe” procedure that all of her doctors discouraged her from trying, but the whole team here was so reassuring and comforting throughout the entire experience. And the results speak for themselves!

I met Dr. Kong at a health conference last year. I have been researching various anti-aging treatments, including stem cells, for many years. Dr. Kong is by far the most knowledgeable of all the Doctors I have met and researched, no wonder she is the stem cell Doctor of the decade. I received treatment at her clinic for various conditions. She truley cares about you as a person and patient. Dr Kong customizes treatments based on an extensive look into your medical history and discussions with you and then puts her expertise to work! I have family members that have already gone to visit her clinic after my visit and recommendation. I will be visiting her clinic again in a couple months, since she has made a difference in my life! Simone in the office is great, she makes you feel comfortable and also sincerely cares. Highly recommended!

I just started working with Dr. Kong on my weight loss program & am loving the initial results! She prescribed me Semaglutide and I've noticed my cravings throughout the day have subsided and I have more self-control when it comes to choosing the best foods for my dietary goals. So far I've had no negative side effects, and have had some initial weight loss after just a few weeks.
Dr. Kong is incredibly knowledgeable & fun to work with as well, which makes this whole process very comfortable. Her understanding of hormones & other key health markers makes me feel super confident that I'll get optimal results. I've recommended her to all my close friends at the gym & encourage anyone who's looking for the right provider to reach out to her!

We went to Dr Kong clinic in May for my son Autoimmune disease. Thanks to Dr Kong and Simone, we received excellent care and very good information on the treatment. The treatment went very well. The blood work and inflammation is normal with reduced medications. Hopefully he can’t get off the medications next year.

Update after one year.

My son is off prednisone completely. Other medications are precaution only. Prednisone is so effective but not good for long term. Monthly blood tests can tell inflammation is under control.

As to effectiveness of stem cell and exosome treatments. Just base on our observations from blood testes WBC, MCH, RDW & platelets count did improve to normal level. CK (creative kinase) down to below 165 U/L.

The staff were friendly and the care was superb. Simone was courteous and friendly and was very patient in answering all the questions. Dr Kong administered the stem cells and explained the process very well and took real interest in improving my health condition. She answered all the questions that I asked. Very good service and waiting for the results in couple of months.

DR. Joy Kong, Courtney Gillenwater and the collective Uplyft Longevity Team, Simone and Perla; provided Impeccable, Caring, First Class Treatment!

Additionally, they are "Outside the Box" thinkers and provide cutting edge, tip of the spear, proven treatments; not typical in the medical establishment. I'm glad to be part of Team Uplyft for my personal healing and longevity!

I am a 67 year old male. My health, particularly my joints were becoming painful. I'd lifted for years at my job along with having Lyme disease in 1989. Diet change only helped so much. I was in pain and knew I was in trouble. I did my research into stem cells several years ago. I made my mind up on saving $20,000 to $30,000, get my passport, and fly out of the states to get MSC's (umbilical cord stem cells). One day on my research, up popped a video of Dr. Kong. Well read, extremely knowledgeable on the subject and turns out her clinic is 45 minutes away from me. How could this be? Doing more homework I found out that she is the real deal. Also a third of the price. I had a consultation with her and I was all in. We set up the day and I went in for stem cells, exosomes, PRP (in my neck), ozone and peptides. Simone, her office manager is amazing. She understood about my needle phobia and was awesome. Dr. Kong was very personable, caring and truly wants to help people. No talking to me while looking at her computer. Sitting in front of me asking how I'm doing during the procedure. It was around 2-2 1/2 hours all together. Within a day or so, I could feel a difference. As I'm writing this, it's been 23 days and there is now a major difference. My back and neck pain are nearly gone. I forgot to tell her that I've had major heart palpitations on and off since Lyme and that has disappeared. Gone. Day 23! Stem cells keep working for 1-3 months! There are other issues I'm hoping to have resolved. Time will tell. I will forever be thankful I found Dr. Kong. She saved my quality of life. It means the world to me. FYI, you pay for the consultation, but that money is subtracted from your treatment. Another FYI, I am not receiving ANY compensation for this review, only amazing results from stem cells by way of Dr. Kong. I hope this helps others looking for relief or better health in their lives. God Bless.
