The results of the stem cell therapy for my son's autism treatment have been incredible. After just a few sessions, we noticed small improvements in our child’s behavior and communication. As time went on, these changes became more obvious. Our child, who used to struggle with talking to others, now connects more with family and friends. Dr. Erdal Karaoz is a specialist in this field. He and his team made sure that my son gets the most out of this therapy.
