Condition
Autism
A compassionate, physician-led evaluation that gives families honest answers about regenerative medicine and autism — with no promises, only candid guidance.
When you are looking for answers for your child
Raising a child with autism often means becoming a tireless advocate — reading everything, asking every question, and searching for anything that might help your child thrive. It is understandable to wonder whether regenerative medicine has a role to play. We want to meet that search with honesty rather than hype.
The truth is that stem cell therapy is not a cure for autism, and it is not an FDA-approved treatment for this condition. What we can offer is a candid, physician-led conversation about what is known, what is not, and whether anything might be appropriate for your family.
How we approach it
We begin with a physician evaluation — never a one-size-fits-all program. During that evaluation, Dr. Cimikoski takes time to understand your child’s history and your family’s goals, and to discuss whether a regenerative option such as IV stem cell therapy might be considered as one part of a broader support plan.
Whether it may be appropriate is an individual medical decision made by the physician. This is not a cure, is not FDA-approved for autism, and outcomes are uncertain and vary. We also encourage families to continue every therapy and specialist relationship already in place. We also see families exploring options for other neurological conditions, such as cerebral palsy.
Why families choose Utah Stem Cells
- Physician-led, every time. Your evaluation is with Dr. William Cimikoski, our Medical Director — not handed off to a technician.
- Honest and candid. If a regenerative option is not a good fit for your child, we will tell you plainly. We would rather give you the truth than a promise we cannot keep.
- Part of a broader plan. We work alongside your existing care, never in place of it.
- No pressure. Our role is to inform, not to sell.
What to expect
Everything starts with the evaluation. There is no obligation and no pressure. The physician will give you realistic, honest expectations — including the possibility that a regenerative option is not appropriate. We will not imply that improvement is expected or typical, because that would not be honest.

Frequently asked questions
Can stem cell therapy help autism?
Stem cell therapy is not a cure for autism and is not FDA-approved for this condition. Some families explore regenerative options as part of a broader support plan, but whether anything may be appropriate is an individual medical decision made by the physician. Outcomes are uncertain and vary from person to person, and improvement is never something we imply or expect.
Is stem cell therapy FDA-approved for autism?
No. Stem cell therapy is not an FDA-approved treatment for autism. We share this openly so families can make informed decisions, and we encourage you to continue any therapies and specialist care already in place.
Is my child a candidate?
That is a decision only the physician can make after a careful, individualized evaluation of your child's health history and situation. Sometimes the honest answer is that regenerative options are not a good fit, and we will tell you that plainly.
Do you promise my child will improve?
No. We never promise or imply improvement. Autism is complex, outcomes are uncertain, and we believe families deserve honesty rather than false hope. Any conversation we have is grounded in what is and is not known.
Should we stop our current therapies?
No. We encourage families to continue the behavioral, developmental, medical and specialist care already in place. Any regenerative option would only ever be considered as part of a broader plan, not a replacement for existing care.
How is Utah Stem Cells different?
Every evaluation is led by our Medical Director, Dr. William Cimikoski — not delegated to a technician. We are candid: if something is not appropriate for your child, we say so. You get a real physician conversation, not a sales pitch.
How do I get started?
You can request a free, no-pressure consultation. The physician will listen to your family's situation, review your child's history, and give you honest guidance about whether a regenerative option might be considered.
