Destination clinic
Patients travel from across the country and overseas.
Logistics handled by our practice manager. You focus on the visit. We handle the rest.
A meaningful share of our patient list lives outside Indiana and Kentucky. They come from California and Washington, from Toronto and Vancouver, from London and the Netherlands. They come because the protocols they need, Perispinal Etanercept, Stellate Ganglion Block with Photo-Energized PRP, the 5R Ketamine Protocol, cellular biologics with Bone Marrow Aspirate, are not on offer at the clinic down the road from them. Travel for treatment is, for many, the only way to access this work.
Who travels to us
Patients from far enough away to need a plan.
Most international patients come for one of three reasons. They have a stroke, traumatic brain injury, or Parkinson's case in which Perispinal Etanercept is the indicated next step, and the protocol is not available in their country. They have treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, or Long COVID and want a Stellate Ganglion Block with Photo-Energized PRP, paired with our 5R Ketamine Protocol. Or they have a complex regenerative case, severe joint or spinal disease, where they want personal Bone Marrow Aspirate cellular biologics under one physician.
We see Canadian families across all three. We see UK and European patients regularly for the neurological and ketamine work. We see West Coast U.S. families for the same protocols. We have treated Italian CRPS patients who would otherwise pay $25,000 for a four-day course at a European clinic, for a fraction of that here.
Logistics
How a visit is actually arranged.
Karen Campisano, our practice manager, coordinates every traveling-patient itinerary. From the first phone call you have a single point of contact who knows the local geography, the hotels nearest the clinic, the airport routes that work and the ones that do not, and the rhythm of a typical visit week.
Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport (SDF) is the most direct route. The drive from baggage claim to our front door is roughly 15 minutes in normal traffic. We have airport transport partners we can recommend, and for the patients who prefer it, we can arrange door-to-door transfer.
We maintain hotel partnerships near the clinic in both Jeffersonville and across the bridge in downtown Louisville. The right choice depends on mobility, the length of the stay, and whether the patient is traveling alone or with family. Karen will give you a plain recommendation, not a brochure.
Typical timelines
Three days, seven days, two weeks.
Visit length depends on the protocol. The three most common shapes look like this.
- 01Three-day visit. First-day labs and physical evaluation. Second-day procedure, often Perispinal Etanercept or Stellate Ganglion Block. Third-day rest, follow-up, travel home.
- 02Seven-day visit. Standard for the 5R Ketamine Protocol with one or two adjunctive procedures, or for a Perispinal Etanercept case combined with the NEURO BRAIN Protocol and rehabilitation sessions during the same week.
- 03Two-week visit. For complex neurological cases or for patients who want to stack multiple procedures in one trip. Allows for cellular biologics harvesting, recovery, and a second confirmatory procedure inside the same itinerary.
What to expect
First-day labs, procedure day, rehabilitation sessions.
Day one is a clinical day. We pull a fresh lab panel, sit with the imaging and history you brought, and Dr. Cruz performs the physical evaluation in person. By the end of that visit you will know exactly what is on the schedule for the rest of the week, and what each step is likely to cost.
Procedure days vary by protocol. Perispinal Etanercept is outpatient and brief. Stellate Ganglion Block with Photo-Energized PRP runs roughly 30 minutes once the PRP is prepared. Cellular biologics days are longer, since the harvesting and processing add time before injection.
Where the protocol benefits from physical therapy or rehabilitation alongside the procedure, we coordinate sessions inside the same trip. For neurological recovery in particular, the in-clinic rehabilitation sessions during the visit window often reinforce what the procedure has just made possible.
Booking
How to start the conversation.
The fastest way to start is to send your imaging, your most recent labs, and a one-page summary of your case to kimregenmed@gmail.com. We will reply with a clinical assessment of fit, a proposed visit shape, and a draft cost estimate. From there, Karen books the consult.
If email is not your preferred channel, call (812) 913-4416 during clinic hours. Ask for Karen. She will walk you through the same intake conversation by phone.
Travel for treatment is a serious commitment. We will tell you, before you buy a ticket, whether we believe we can help and what the realistic outcome range looks like for a case like yours.
