I had stem cells and PRP done at Mayo in Rochester last fall. It was done by Dr. Smith. Total cost was $4650 which included additional injection. I was not eligible for the trial as i have too many other health problems. Dr Smith is in charge of a FDA trial regarding stem cells in knees. You can find the trial information on the Mayo website. Dr. Smith and his staff are excellent in providing information and answers to questions

Did they take the stem cells from both bone marrow and fat? Also, was the procedure done in a sterile room?
It was done in a procedure room under sterile conditions. They took it from the ilsilliac of hip on both sides. Right above your bottom.
was it painful? Sounds like it.
I had fat taken from belly - there r many more Cells derived from belly than bone marrow.
Tiny 1/2 scar down low. - then used for reconstruction - not bone.
