Testimonials

Had PRP injections for neck and lower back. With this procedure and physical therapy, the pain was significantly reduced, no more numbness in limbs, and I can sleep at night. Dr. Lewis and staff do a great job of taking care of you and making sure you have everything you need to succeed.

This should be your first choice for pain management or orthopedic issues. The physicians and staff are knowledgeable, courteous and friendly. They were very accommodating for an out of state patient. Dr Lewis and his team are professional and genuinely care about helping their patients. I highly recommend them for PRP and stem cell therapy. Do your homework and you will find they are at the leading edge of this field of medicine.

Xcellent Outcome 3.5 months ago. 70/95%
Thx Regenexx Medical Centre

After sustaining a debilitating back injury during my first year of running my physically demanding forestry business, a primary care doctor recommended surgical options. Consequently, I embarked on a research journey into regenerative medicine and discovered Dr. Lewis and the highly professional medical team at Northwestern Center for Regenerative Medicine. Initially, I explored stem cell options, but Dr. Lewis suggested a more cost-effective platelet-rich plasma option derived from my own body. Now, 10 months later, I am incredibly pleased with the procedure and intend to pursue this approach for future injuries or maintenance as I transition into my mid-40s. Since the procedure, I haven’t relied on over-the-counter pain medication, which has been a staple of my daily routine for most of my life. Thank you to Dr.Lewis and his amazing team!

Last summer I had stem cells and plasma placed in my two knees, lower back and hip. Before then I was unable to walk without a back brace and I was in a lot of pain. Now I am feeling much better and I'm able to golf, hike and ride my bike again. The Regenerative Center is giving me nutrition support, exercises and has assisted me in losing 40 pounds. I feel years younger and I'm looking forward to playing with my granddaughter. I strongly recommend this procedure as I tried and failed at many other medical procedures. Dr Lewis is wonderful. He listens to your symptoms and is excellent.
The only drawback is cost. I found it was well worth the sacrifice and I strongly recommend his work.

Dr. Lewis and staff are very compassionate and professional.
My experience with Dr.Lewis
beginning to end has been very positive. My outcomes using the stem cell and the platelet procedure on my knees has been beyond expectations.
Thank you Dr. Lewis

I had the super PRP injected in both knees and stem cells injected into the right knee for bone on bone pain. Six months later I can say the left knee feels good with just some stiffness remaining and my right knee, which was the one that had the stem cells injected, is about 70% better. I am able to take walks again and hike up to 7 miles. I still do occasionally have the bone on bone pain; but, it will occur for a few steps then subside. They told me the stem cell procedure will continue to work up to one year, so, six more months before I have a final outcome. Because of the procedure I am walking and hiking again, which was the goal of having this done. I am recommending this procedure to others with one caveat, the pain during the procedure was quite intense. This is not a procedure for sissies.
Lastly, and importantly, the staff is professional, knowledgable, kind, and responsive. I chose Regenexx because they follow all clients after their procedure for progress regarding the results and because of their deep experience with stem cell science.

After three years my knee needed some additional attention. Dr Lewis asked me to come in for more platelets. That procedure was completed about two months ago-my best way to tell you how it worked: I went from not being able to walk Costco to walking Butchart Gardens-52 acres.

With more platelets and a few weeks of PT I am walking normal-no more limp-and no more inflammation.

I highly recommend meeting with Dr Lewis and staff if you are experiencing any joint discomfort. You will not be sorry!

Knee replacement was the only choice I was offered- twice. That just was not the best choice for me personally. I did my research and chose to see if stem cell regeneration would work. I had very high hopes- and Dr Lewis and crew came through with flying colors. It’s just been two weeks since my procedure and I am very pleased with results. Hoping for continued improvement- but I’m walking, climbing stairs and have no pain.

Eight week mark. I have finished six weeks of physical therapy. I’m calling this my own little miracle. Every day is better than yesterday and I know that progression will continue for months to come

If you are having joint difficulty do yourself a favor and check out Regenerex before you let the surgeons replace your joint. It’s heavenly to be walking, climbing, squatting and exercising with no pain

Special thanks to Dr Lewis, Johanna and crew.

This review was actually written in May 2025, and I forget to hit send:(. I am just 3 weeks out after my SCP procedure/injections, so the results are not yet in....BUT, couple of things: Amazing staff, Amazing Doc (Dr. Lewis)- so kind and eager to heal you. Regenerative Medicine is starting to become more mainstream, thank goodness. My treatment included extensive blood work, and while my numbers were not horribe- Dr. Lewis felt like my symptoms were indicitive of a hormone imbalance. Sometimes you dont know just how bad your "normal" is until your delicate hormone balance is corrected. Im excited to see how my injections work out, but while I am waiting I feel 10 years younger. I am very grateful to you guys!

I can’t say enough good things about SCP Injection! The team is not only welcoming and kind, but they also go above and beyond to ensure every detail is perfect. You can tell they genuinely care about their clients and their experience. The process was smooth from beginning to end, and I felt completely at ease the whole time. Highly recommend to anyone looking for expert service with a personal touch.

I am 8 weeks post procedure today and my knee and shoulder feel marked improvement. Knee is bone on bone with limited meniscus and it feels 100% better. I've started playing in my senior softball league again a week ago and there has been no swelling and only slight discomfort as compared to what it used to do to me. My shoulder is about 40-50 better than before the procedure but it is a much more active joint and takes longer. I'm looking forward to the continued improvement which can happen for up to 12 months. I will be scheduling my appointment for after the season to get my other knee done. I highly recommend Dr Lewis and his staff. They were superb before, during, and after the procedures of Stem Cell and PRP. Thanks again Regenexx.

I would highly recommend Northwest Spine and Pain because of their professionalism and caring environment!
My journey with severe cervical neck pain started about 3 years ago. Several doctors prescribed countless medications, steroid injections, epidurals, nerve blockers, PRP’s and ablations and there was no long-term relief. It was then suggested by my surgeon that two-disc replacement was needed. I was not comfortable with that diagnosis!
I then reach out to Northwest Spine and Pain, Ramona, was the first person I spoke with and she was amazing! She was able to get me in with Dr Lewis fairly quickly as she knew I was in a lot of pain. (Grateful for her.)
After the exam and a caring conversation with Dr. Lewis, he told me he was “confident” he could help me. He told me about Regenexx which is an alternative to surgery. Most importantly he answered all of my questions and truly listened to what I had gone through over the years.
The day of the procedure was an exceptional experience with the entire team at NWS&P. Dr Lewis and his team explained all the steps and what I can expect. They were ALL very knowledgeable and professional.
I have had good results this far with having Regenexx and I know with the guidance and medical care of Dr Lewis and his team I know I will get there!
A special thank you to Dr Lewis, Becca and the entire team for getting me headed in the right direction! I will and I have already recommended Northwest Spine and Pain to everyone that is looking for help with pain issues.

After a year of struggling to walk due to both of my knees being in so much pain, a co-worker suggested I look into PRP and/or Stem Cell injections through NCRM clinic in Spokane. I didn't want surgery, since I had already experienced and was not happy with the results. So I contacted Regenexx via their website and was connected to the Spokane clinic. Thankfully, I was approved for Stem Cell and PRP injections and had both knees tested last November by Dr. Lewis and his team! Dr. Lewis, his nurse Becca and everyone in the clinic are top notch! A couple of weeks after the injections, I was walking so much easier and for the most part without my cane because the pain was so much less. I'm almost 5 months into my recovery and I'm walking freely now, and without pain unless I overwork them (physical therapy exercises, the clinic's joint supplements by Rare and a personal care red light therapy tool have all worked together to help make my recovery a success). I highly recommend trying PRP/Stem Cell injections through Dr. Lewis and his team! It's the best thing I've done for my knees!

For me, Degenerative Disk Disease has manifested as severe cervical stenosis, bilateral, C3 thru T1, and I have had surgery, many steroid shots, ablations, and am on Gabapentin for peripheral pain. I've lived with severe neck pain for almost a decade and it eventually got to be "unsustainable". With no option for surgery I researched other options. I was told the Regenexx PRP and bone marrow procedure would cause some localized discomfort and it would take a few days or weeks to feel the benefits. However, the morning after my procedure I woke up laughing! My pain was 95% gone!! I would recommend Regenexx and Northwest Center for Regenerative Medicine to anyone who is at the end of their pain rope.

This place was awesome. I have had prp treatment before but NWRM really pulled out all the stops for me. I had both the PRP and the stem cell treatment. Thank you so much for getting my shoulder back in shape! I would recommend 10/10.

After 42 years of handball and hiking I was lined up for a partial knee replacement. I discovered the Regenexx process available thru the NW Center for Regenerative Medicine in Spokane, WA and I researched it and decided it was worth the effort to go thru. I am 2 months out from the procedure and I am no longer having sharp knee pain. I am still playing handball without the discomfort I was experiencing and my back country hiking continues without issues. I am super happy to have avoided the knee replacement and grateful to be fully active. Thanks for all the help Dr Lewis!

Dr Lewis and all of the staff are true professionals. My 89 year old dad has had stem cell injections in his right knee and results seem to be very promising

I had been dealing with pain on both knees for years, and I was headed down the path of complete knee replacements. A fun round of golf was always inevitably followed by a painful couple of days of hobbling around and chewing ibuprofen.

I'm thrilled that I decided to give the Stem Cell and PRP procedures a try. Simply put, I cannot express enough gratitude for Dr. Lewis and his team for the incredible care I received throughout my procedures and recovery.

From the moment I walked in, the entire team made me feel comfortable and confident about the process. And they are all so friendly and helpful!

Recovery was a breeze - especially compared to the painful recovery and PT that follows a complete knee replacement. And I couldn't be happier with the results. I can now go for decent walks and play a round of golf without the excruciating pain.

If you are contemplating these types of surgeries, you owe it to yourself to check out the Regenexx regenerative medicine alternatives!

I found Dr. Jamie Lewis and his NW Center for Regenerative Medicine practice in early 2024. I was struggling after two knee replacements(KR) in 2003 and 2020 to continue my passion for hiking mountain trails. I am a retired General Surgeon in my early 70s & have hiked and backpacked in western US & Canada and in the Swiss Alps. The right KR initially relieved my pain but altered my gait. Starting in 2007, my left knee began to cause pain further altering my gait. I waited until 2020 to have a left KR but by then I had pains in my right calf and heel that limited my hikes to under 10 miles and about 3,000 feet of elevation. After a hiking vacation to Banff in the Rocky Mountains I returned with increased pain in my right heel and Achilles Tendon and was unable to hike. Diagnostic radiologic studies showed multiple linear tears in my lower right Achilles Tendon. I had spent 30 years as a Trauma Surgeon in medical schools and knew there are no good operations for this type of injury. My Orthopedic Surgeon sent me to Dr. Lewis for pain management control. I was aware that in his practice he was performing injections of stem cells(SC) taken from the bone marrow in one's pelvis followed two weeks later by injections of Platelet Rich Plasma(PRP) for osteoarthritis(DJD) in hip and knee joints, for rotator cuff injuries, and Achilles Tendon injuries. My Physical Therapist reported seeing examples of excellent results from these therapies in a few people in each category. Dr. Lewis has the longest history of using these treatments in Spokane with over 12 years of experience. He is a member of a group of US and international physicians who use a specific protocol, the Regenexx method, for harvesting SC, concentrating the number of SC into the smallest volume of fluid to maximize the number of SC that reach the injured areas, This group has collected their results which show that the majority of patients who have this standardized therapy get excellent long term pain relief and often delay joint replacement operations for years or avoid surgery altogether. As this group of physicians get more long term results from their patients more will be known about who is best served by this therapy and they will have the opportunity to improve their results. It is disappointing that medical insurance companies do not want to pay for these procedures yet. Both the Federal programs and the private insurance companies have budget restrictions and justify not paying because they claim there is not enough money in their budgets to add this therapy. As more long term data becomes available there will be more pressure to pay for results that are much cheaper than joint replacement operations. As of August 2024, I have had an excellent result and support from Dr. Lewis and his team. I have been able to progress from having little pain when walking on flat surfaces within 2 weeks of the treatment. I then slowly advanced to walking several miles on flat surfaces and adding elevated hikes as long as I could do that without pain. The therapy allowed me to work on correcting my gait which is now the most normal it has been in 10 years. At my forth month, I managed to hike up 1,400 feet of elevation in a 6 mile out and back hike. I have hiked up higher peaks this last 2 weeks in northern Idaho and have further plans to make tree line hikes around Mt Hood in mid September. I think this is an exciting new area of therapy. I wish it had been available when my DJD led me to my first knee replacement as I think I would have spent years walking with much less pain in my knees. I recommend Dr. Lewis and his staff as empathetic people who have wonderful personalities and the professional expertise to manager the above listed diseases.

I recently received a PRP injection from Dr. Lewis to address pain and limitations in my surgically repaired knee.

Dr. Lewis took the time to thoroughly explain the PRP injection procedure, answering all of my questions with patience and expertise. His confidence and reassuring demeanor instilled a sense of trust, allowing me to feel comfortable throughout the treatment. Within about 8 weeks post-injection, I was back on my feet and actively engaging in the activities I love with greater than 80% relief. The PRP injection not only expedited my recovery but also significantly improved the way my knee feels. I currently have close to 100% relief of pain. I couldn't be happier with the results.

Thanks to Dr. Lewis and his team, I am now able to fully enjoy my active lifestyle again, feeling great and with renewed confidence in the health of my knee. Northwest Center for Regenerative Medicine delivers care with professionalism and compassion. I highly recommend Dr. Lewis and his team to anyone seeking greater function and pain relief!

Dr Lewis and his Regenexx team in Spokane were delightful during my 4 days there. I received stem cell and PRP treatments and my knee has been giving me exciting days since week 4.5. I have days when I feel remarkable improvements, and some with slight setbacks, but overall it's been a most positive trend. I'm at week 9 and enjoying very little pain and more stability, and I'm working on finding better balance again. I'm still a ways away from putting on a ski touring pack and heading up big slopes, but I trust I will keep on feeling more exciting new improvements. Thanks so much for all your great work!!

Dr. Lewis is great! Very detailed and thorough during his consultations and is very knowledgable. The office has a great atmosphere and they make you feel very welcome/comfortable during every aspect of the treatment.

My husband is a firefighter, 49 years old, and has had shoulder pain for years. He had to have surgery, on his right shoulder which only temporarily took the pain away and involved 3 months of recovery, intense pain, and physical therapy. We were thinking he was going to have to have surgery on his left shoulder this time and on his right again; however, we heard of Regenexx (Dr. Lewis), so we thought we'd give that a try. My husband now has zero pain in his left shoulder and rarely feels pain in the right, which is still improving, so we are excited to see what the next year brings. He said his left shoulder feels like it did before he injured it and his right feels almost as good as new again.
Previously he experienced pain 100% of the time in both. Regenexx has been a huge blessing in our lives! He is enjoying life again and feeling better than ever!

I wanted to take the time and set out my experience with Dr. Lewis and Northwest Center for Regenerative Medicine. I first received PRP injections 12 years ago in Broomfield Colorado at the Centeno-Schultz Clinic where the Regenexx system was developed. One of My Doctors recommended Regenexx, as it had worked for him on his Left knee.
Throughout out my life I have been extremely active, I played 30 years of competitive Handball, running, weight training, Biking, Kayaking, Judo. At 67 it caught up with me, My Doctors recommended surgery to repair the damage. I have had enough surgeries (ACL Left knee repair, Right Achilles Tendon Repair, Bi-lateral hernias, Steroid injections) and needed to find an alternative to months of down time and wanted to avoid post-surgical complications. The PRP and Stem Cell injections were successful at re-growing cartilage in my Left Shoulder, and eliminating my neck pain, dizziness, and balance problems. For two years I was symptom free, however age and activity caught up with me again.
Four years ago, we moved to Coeur d Alene full time. It’s difficult and expensive to travel to Colorado for treatment.

Centeno-Shultz has been training Doctors for several years with their advanced PRP and Stem Cell Treatments. I found Northwest Center for Regenerative Medicine and Dr. Lewis 3 years ago in the Regenexx directory. Two and a half years ago I set up an appointment and had a detailed evaluation of my physical condition. Dr. Lewis performed PRP in my cervical and Lumbar spine. I was back to normal in about two months.
However, nothing last forever. A lot of my problems returned. I went back to Dr. Lewis February 1, 2022 and had a second treatment. I am two weeks out and feeling much better. Starting my rehabilitation schedule next week.
I completely recommend Dr. Lewis and the Staff at Northwest Center for Regenerative Medicine, they are extremely component, professional and treat everyone with respect.
