Latest Reviews
Tracie was very thorough in explaining the procedure. She was most pleasant.
Had 2 procedures done in a 2 yr period. The second was stem cells in my neck facets for arthritis and it changed my life. Follow-ups were very thorough and the entire experience was a much better than expected outcome. They were very thorough with discussing what outcome I might expect and what to expect during the recovery phase. if it is the right procedure for your situation I highly recommend it.
Tracie was most helpful explaining the entire process and went out of her way to help schedule further evaluations so that I can understand the process. Great first visit.
The staff is wonderful! Ashley and the sweet person at the front desk(can’t remember her name)! They are caring and very accommodating! I highly recommend this place!
Tracie was so nice and helpful getting my schedule set up.answered ally questions thoroughly and knowledgeable about the procedure.
The staff was absolutely fantastic and professional. Dr. DeAndrea walked me tbrough steps of the stem cell treatment process. He is a great listener as well. Which was highly welcomed by me.After my exam, Tracie Cellaxys Patient Coordinator walked me through the scheduling , followup and payment process.
Ashley B was very professional and helpful during my visit. She was patient with my questions and helped ease my concerns.
Tracie was absolutely helpful while I was at Cellaxys today!! Thank you for being so positive!
We were very excited to try this treatment for my husband’s knee and everyone here has just been amazing in explaining the process and getting paperwork support. Big thanks to the awesome Ashley and Chas for all the work to make sure admin paperwork for my husbands job was handled.
Here with my mom & early morning but everyone seems happy 🙂 coffee out front and answered every concern we had 10/10 🙌🏼

Tracie from cellaxys was amazing with my mom. She was informational and answered all the questions we had. I recommend coming here as the staff is friendly and everything is clean.
Great experience! So professional and Dr was very knowledgeable ! Tracie made everything so easy and explained the process thoroughly!
Tracie is awesome! Very thorough on our first visit. The entire staff was super friendly!
I saw them for PRP for my ankle and Dr Otten was great, the other provider who consulted for a stem cell treatment was dismissive, rude and implied that I’m fat, he appeared shocked that I was not on heart medicine or statins at age 40. I wear medium clothes, I have perfect blood pressure, I’ve not felt gaslit by a provider in a long time, but that experience was one for the record booksWell, for the first time in my life, I had a major joint injury: a grade 2 sprain of my anterior talofibular (ankle ligament)Let me tell you, I cannot believe the results to this day, I did PRP with HGH into the most injured part of my ankle, 4 total injection sites, and within that 48 hours of hopping around I became pain-free and stable on my ankle, no issues since
Had my first consultation with doctor DeAndrea he was amazing took his time did a full evaluation and explained everything in details to me. All the staff is so nice especially Ashley and Chas is who I got a chance to meet and work with! Highly recommend this place I am here for PRP injection will decidedly recommend to friends and family!

Loved talking to Tracie! She explains treatment very well and doctor Andrea is amazing!!
Ale was not able to schedule me appointment with the doctor very bad communication and poor people skills.
Chas was amazing..she was so helpful and kind…the place is very clean..
Great experience from the start. Friendly and competent staff. The doctor put me at ease and I felt he understood and was sympathetic to my problem. I left feeling thoroughly informed and that I’m in great hands with the process.
Cellaxys is awesome!!Great customer service! The Doctors and nurses are super attentive to your needs! They take time to make sure you understand the process and everything that will take place!! So excited for the full results. I have already felt great relief in my knees! I am able to sleep pain free!!Thank you!!!
Never felt more comfortable and cared for. Soon as I walk in the door I’m greeting with a big smile and warm welcome by Chas and that gives me great satisfaction mentally that this is the place where I need to be and that I will be cared for in the best way. They are very through with everything you need to know And they are really helpful in reminding you of upcoming appointments which is really helpful for me because of my busy schedule. I will definitely be recommending them to my friends and family.
This was the best experience I ever had I would highly recommend such nice and friendly staff. My mom is in great hands being here.
Very Beautiful Atmosphäre. The staff and Dr is very Informative and patient. They were able to see me quick and urgent.
Came to Cellaxy to find out if I would be able to get my knees done. The entire time I was there was a very pleasant experience. I found out that how the procedure was going to take. Answered all the questions that I needed. Would highly recommend getting the procedure done.
Cellaxys is a great facility, my father has been treated here with 5 star service. The Cellaxys office has given my father the ability to walk easier and remove his shoulder pain that has been bothering him for years. Did i mention, my father is 87 years old.
It’s been about 6 months of seeing multiple Dr’s with no relief for my pain. Seeing a Dr today that said “I know exactly what’s going on here” who has given me hope that healing is possible rather than just symptom management, is really amazing. Thank you Dr. Bady! Staff were all very professional and the environment is relaxing.
It was an amazing experience at this office. From the Moment I walked in, I was greeted as if we knew each other for ever , like Family! Chas at the front desk was full great energy and so vibrant, and extremely friendly! Dr. Bady was also amazing and made us feel very comfortable, took his time, & very explanatory. This place really cares about you as a human being!!! 10 out of 10 for me! Highly recommend;
The staff was very pleasant front desk receptionist Ms Chas Xtra friendly. Dr. Bady very nice and informative I haven't started treatment yet but I will soon
I would recommend Cellaxys and their Doctors to anyone dealing with chronic pain. The staff is thorough, pleasant, thoughtful and very knowledgable. I always have a great experience whenever I am there for my appointment. They have helped me with my chronic pain over the years and they actually listen.
I have had back pain for decades. I have been able to reduce it to with Ibuprofen, Tylenol, TENS unit, applying ice, voltaren gel, biofreeze, and lidocaine patches - which has allowed me to function during the day. I have also done physical therapy, chiropractic care, trigger point injections, dry needling, massage and cupping - which have also helped tremendously.But in the end, the disc degeneration, disc bulges, and facet arthritis are still there and need extra treatment. I finally decided to proceed with PRP injected into my lumbar spine and I can't even describe how happy I am with the results!! I did not have any sedation during the procedure, had about 10-15 minutes of "pressure" in my low back after the procedure, and maybe a little bit of discomfort that evening. But I have not had any back back since the morning after and am absolutely amazed at how much my activities and quality of life improved!!I respect Dr Mohajer, Dr Bady, and Dr Justin very much and am very appreciative of their knowledge and skills. Chastity, the front desk lady, is always so pleasant and helpful. Ashley, the MA, is also very skilled and always very pleasant. I will definitely be continuing care with Cell Axys!
Excellent job. I am now able to do things I couldn't prior to the procedure. Dr. Brady and Dr. Mohajer are both amazing. They absolutely know what they are doing.
The PRP has been amazing to help mobility in my neck! My husband got stem cells, and is doing so much better!!!
Very professional in every aspect of care! The receptionist were so effective and courteous. Thank you for everything!
I had adipose stem cell last year. PRP after 3 months. Came back to follow up this year. I am pain free for a year. No swelling any longer since the procedure. Have not taken Ibuprofen for my knee. Been hiking again between 3-7 miles with no swelling afterwards. Wanted to get PRP again today, thinking it will make it better than what I already have. Already on the table, Dr Mohajer, send me home. He said, No need. You don’t have pain, then No need for the procedure. This Clinic is full of Honesty. Dr Padi did the same thing. I will definitely come back, not even for my knee but face prp.
I was having some issues with a shoulder joint and coming to Cellaxys has been a fantastic experience. We had a minor confusion at the beginning, but everything since that initial visit has been absolutely smooth sailing. Highest possible recommendation! Professionalism, kindness, efficiency. A+.
Very beautiful center state of the art, staff really warm and friendly, stem cell procedure offered for my arthritic knee. Costly procedure payment plan offered.
I was referred to doctor Bady by a friend and got a free consultation. My experience was wonderful. The office is clean , staffs are warm and kind and welcoming. Dr came in on time and he listened to everything I wanted to say and ask him. He told me my options and all the pros and cons on each case . I need to get an MRI so he can determine which treatment is the best for me. I really loved it here . Did I mentioned the staff are so helpful? 😉 I will recommend this office and Dr Bady to everyone who can benefit from him .
How did I not hear about this place sooner?!?! Staff and providers are friendly and helpful. Pain in the right knee has improved tremendously.
Amazing doctors and great staff. They provide great care for their patients and very driven to get the best results possible as far as pain relief. I highly recommend cellaxys to whoever is looking to actually heal their joints and spine.
I went to Cellaxys for my knee pain. Doctor Bady is amazing. He extracted the fluid in my knee and injected with PRP which gave me a lot of relief. He then sent me for an MRI and I'm going back for stem cell procedure. Everyone at this office is professional and very helpful. They go out of their way to truly help the patients which is not easy to find in Vegas.
I've dealt with shoulder pain for years but refused to do shoulder surgery. Tried everything from chiropractor to physical therapy but nothing helped until I came across Cellaxys. They did a stem cell procedure on my shoulders and my pain is GONE! Only a few short weeks and my pain went down to 0. I'm so happy with my results and recommend cellaxys to everyone who's looking for an alternative to surgery.
Im not finished with my treatnent yet,Positive that by the end, i won't need surgery!
Dr. Bady is excellent! So knowledgeable and easy to talk to. He is so understanding and takes time to listen to concerns and answer all my questions. Also, Thank you so much to Ashley, Parisa, and front office staff who are always so welcoming and kind. I had PRP injections a few months ago and my knees feel great! I have been able to travel, go for daily walks and even ride my bike. I am so grateful to you all for helping me. I highly recommend Cellaxys!
amazing staff!! Dr. Bady and Dr. Mohajer are so compassionate and takes their time with you. I also loved how clean and neat the office was.
The staff and Dr. Mohajer were great ! Everyone was very friendly and I got so much information.
Great office. Dr. Mohajer is fantastic. My procedure took away my pain and has restored my ability to be as active as I need and want to be. I cannot imagine life without getting his help!
The staff and the doctor was very friendly and professional. I was seen quickly and efficently. THE OFFICE WAS SUPER NICE AND COMFORTABLE. THEY ALSO HAD GREST COFFEE AND GOOD WATER.
I definitely recommend Cellaxys for knee issues - their team is first class, doctors are excellent and very very knowledgeable. I Wouldn’t go anywhere else!
I've learned a lot and I find it interesting and the staff and the doctor were helpful!
I had a great experience. The doctor is very informative about everything the was being done. Have had a great inprovement overall. Would recomend to anyone with knee problems well worth it
Dr. Bady was very knowledgeable and gave me several options to treat both my cervical spine issues as well as my lumbar spine. I would highly recommend their office.
Great experience! Dr. Bady took good care of my knee and explained everything and answered all my questions. The front office follows through and is very attentive. I definitely will return as needed and highly recommend Cellaxys.
I love, love, LOVE the staff and their compassion and the doctors and the treatments but more than that, I LOVE the pain relief. I'm so glad I found this office. I'm so overjoyed that I and finally feeling back to normal. I highly, truly and totally, recommend this facility and its staff. I can't say enough about how great I feel after I leave their office! Thank you CELLAXYS, Thank You so much!!!!! I'll be back for more PRP and I'll have my mom come in when she's done with her surgery in L.A.
I love the alternative medical treatment, the team was knowledgeable, kind and expressed true concern.
Caring and kind. Surgery was over quickly and I am recovering nicely. Too soon to tell how much improvement I will get, but improvement was noticed quickly.
Love this office! They did a great job on my husband’s back. The staff and doctors is always professional and caring!
Had five knee operations. Surgeons just kept cutting torn meniscus, grinding arthritis. Knee hurt all the time, misery. Saw ad about Stem Cell from Cellaxys. Took my MRIs into Dr. Otten. I’m 65 and been active all my life. My knee was making it unable to do anything. Dr. Otten said I was a perfect candidate for stem cell. I was skeptical, but knee replacement only thing left. Had Stem Cell procedure done at end of October 2021. Had major swelling which isn’t always normal. Gradually my knee started feeling better and better. Range of motion improved. Today is Jan 6, 2022. Just walked 3.5 miles. Pain FREE! Have a booster PRP shot coming up which is included in the price. Dr. Otten returned several calls when I was having swelling, unheard of from other Doctors. Stem Cell isn’t covered by insurance, but, it’s absolutely amazing. A big Thumbs up to Dr. Otten and Staff. Best money I’ve ever spent.
I was greeted warmly the moment I entered. Doctor Otten is charming and very thorough in explaining the procedure. Carlos explained the finances involved very carefully and is most courteous, professional and patient. I have confidence in CELLAXYS and this will be the first time in my life I eagerly await having a medical procedure done!
Dr. Otten is the best!! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. My wife had several procedures done on her knees and back from a traumatic fall and with the help from Dr. Otten and Biologics…she has benefitted greatly from the treatments. Because of her recovery and the incredible care Dr. Otten gave her…after I tore my Achilles Tendon I knew Dr. Otten was the phone call I needed to make. Although I live in Florida now, it was worth the travel back to Las Vegas for treatment with Dr. Otten at Cellaxys. The care is unparalleled. I am still in the recovery process but can attest to the confidence that the biologic therapy is helping with my healing. Dr. Otten is the most caring, thoughtful and empathic doctor that has you and your recovery as a priority. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
Dr. Mohajer answered all my questions and concerns. No sales pitch or unrealistic promises. Just the facts when it comes to the treatment, science, and what to expect! He is a caring man that wants to help people get rid of their pain.Steve
The entire staff from the second I walked in, was warm and friendly and caring. No waiting, imagine that! I was escorted into a room where the doctor had already been reviewing my x-rays and had them up to share with me. No secrets here. The doctor himself sat down with me immediately and listened to my history and my pain and then discussed my X-rays and showed me how he could help. He explained the three types of stem cell Therapies and let me choose what I wanted and then he explained to me the process from the moment I would walk in until the moment I would leave Plus he was very candid on my recovery time and what I could and could not do. I will have a two-week follow-up and then a booster in 3 months. I feel like everyone there is my friend.
Grateful to have found the team at Cellaxys. Office runs very efficiently and the Dr is fantastic. Highly recommended!
The doctor was very professional, knowledgeable and took the time to explain all the different options available to me. I like that he took the TIME to know exactly what was going on with my knees. He didn't rush through the appointment, which was refreshing considering that's how it is with a lot of doctor appointments these. days.Every step of the way he explained what was going on. I've had zero issues all the way through to the end. And now a year or more after I'm still doing well. It was well worth the money. The entire team is professional.
CELLAXYS is incredible! I’ve been suffering with extreme pain for a long time and was starting to feel helpless. Then I found CELLAXYS. The treatment was extremely effective and got me pain free with 110% mobility. The staff was amazing! They were kind, courteous and helpful! Dr Matt Otten is AMAZING! He was gentle, thorough and extremely compassionate! He was honest and made me feel at ease the entire time. Going to CELLAXYS was the best decision I ever made!!!
I felt very safe and well cared for. This was not an easy procedure and I am doing far better and quicker than anyone thought I would!! Thank you for the wonderful care!!!
Stem Cell Therapy Explained
Due to their natural ability to transform into any other type of cell, stem cells can be taken not only from your own body, but from a different person (likely, the umbilical cord), and transplanted into your problem area. The cells will adapt and take on a different “form” as if they were there since the beginning.
Stem cells can be concentrated and activated. While many types of stem cells are a good starting point for practical use, it is the concentration and activation of the cells that has truly made it an effective therapy. Certified practitioners are able to tweak these cells to address exactly the problem you are facing.

PRP Therapy Explained
Platelet-rich plasma is astoundingly simple in concept; your doctor or medical technician inject a laboratory made concentration that is created from your own blood. That is right, your own blood. Essentially, PRP is a specialized healing plasma.
The benefits of Platelet Rich Plasma will have you feeling completely revitalized, as it is your own natural plasma, which has had the most platelet-dense part of your blood, added back into it. The result is a highly-charged infusion of plasma with a particularly high content of platelets.
How Does It Work?
- Take a Blood Sample
- Separate Blood into Various Components
- Removes Platelets and Stem Cells
- Platelets Injected into Injured Area

FAQ
How long with the benefits last?
In most reported literature and my clinical experience:
3-10 years in arthritic or chronic conditions, depending upon the severity
Virtually permanent improvements in ligament/tendon and muscle injuries
Acute injuries can be potentially reversed if the procedure is performed with 6 months of the injury
Stem cells have been radio-tagged in clinical studies and have been found to be active and viable for 12 months. That is, the stem cells are alive and regenerating new tissue for about one year.
The first 3-4 months will be the most dramatic improvements with a more gradual improvement experienced the remaining 8-9 months.
What does stem cell therapy do?
Stem cell or cell-based therapy helps diseased, injured, or dysfunctional tissues repair more quickly. The process involves using the patient’s own stem cells, concentrating them, and reinjecting them into the injury site.
At CELLAXYS, we perform two types of cell-based therapies: Minimally Manipulated Adipose Tissue Transplant (MMAT), where the surgeon extracts healthy cells from the adipose (fat) tissues, and Bone Marrow Concentrate (BMAC), where the doctor harvests highly concentrated cells from the bone marrow.
What are the side effects of stem cell therapy?
When performed by a board-certified surgeon, stem cell therapy doesn’t pose any side effects. However, they may cause a few short-term side effects, such as headache, low-grade fever, fatigue, nausea, and chills. These effects are usually temporary and vary from person to person. Some patients may not experience any side effects at all.
Is stem cell therapy painful?
Stem cell therapy is a less painful alternative to surgery. The doctor uses anesthesia to numb the area before the procedure, so patients usually experience a pinch when the injection is inserted. If the patient still experiences pain during the process, the surgeon will use the numbing medication again whenever needed.
What can stem cell therapy treat?
Stem cell therapy can treat various issues, including type 1 diabetes, heart diseases, spine injuries, strokes, joint and musculoskeletal problems, osteoarthritis, cancer, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, burns, Parkinson’s disease, and more. The procedure is usually painless and non-invasive and is considered one of the best alternatives for surgery.
What is platelet-rich plasma therapy (PRP) used for?
PRP is primarily used to treat spine, sports, and orthopedic-related injuries, but it is also helpful in promoting hair growth. Athletes have been opting for it for decades, as it is non-invasive and less painful than surgical treatments. Not only that, PRP also has a very short recovery time. This procedure also treats soft tissue or tendon injuries, including tennis elbow, knee tendonitis, knee replacement, shoulder injuries, and more.
How long do platelet-rich plasma injections last?
The results of PRP injections usually last for years, depending on the type of treatment you went for, your issue, and the condition. Some people require multiple sessions for complete healing, while others can see their desired results in one or two sittings. The results typically vary from person to person.
What are the side effects of PRP?
PRP is generally a safe procedure that doesn’t cause serious side effects in the patients when performed by a professional team of surgeons. Some people may experience mild symptoms of discomfort, such as soreness and bruising, especially at the injury site. Since PRP injections use the patient’s own blood plasma and cells, there are little to no risks of an allergic reaction that come with other injectables like corticosteroids.
What is regenerative medicine?
Regenerative medicine focuses on creating new treatments and using them to heal organs and tissues quickly with less pain. This technology uses the patient’s own cells and tissues to restore function lost due to aging or any physical trauma, disease, or damage. The two most popular regenerative medicine treatments are cell-based or stem cell therapies and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy.
What can regenerative medicine cure?
Regenerative medicine can cure many conditions, ranging from tissue and ligament injuries like arthritis and torn muscles to neurological problems like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. The procedure can replace neurons that spinal cord injuries damage and even produce insulin to treat diabetes. They are primarily helpful for sports and spine-related injuries and for treating hair loss.
What are the benefits of regenerative medicine?
The primary benefit of regenerative medicine is that it is the best alternative for surgeries. Both cell-based therapies and PRP therapy are less painful and non-invasive than surgical procedures that prevent pain efficiently. Their recovery time is also quicker; you may not need medications afterward. Regenerative medicine procedures are also less risky as the doctor uses your own cells for the procedures.
