Getting from New York to our Istanbul clinic
Direct daily flights from New York (JFK) to Istanbul (IST) on Turkish Airlines and United — total flight time approx. 10h. Most NYC patients arrive on overnight flights and recover the first day in a partnered 4–5★ hotel.
Why New York patients choose our Istanbul clinic
- Wharton's Jelly MSC not generally FDA-approved in the US
- Cost typically 60–75% below US private regenerative clinics
- English-speaking coordinators and 5★ hotel partnerships
- Ministry of Health-licensed Istanbul clinic, GMP-compliant lab
Many of our NYC patients have already consulted Mayo Clinic, NYU Langone, HSS or private cell-therapy clinics in Florida and Texas. They come to us because the Wharton's Jelly protocols available in Istanbul are not commercially available in the United States.

Patient testimonial from New York
"Flew JFK to IST overnight, slept off the jet lag in the hotel, started treatment the next morning. The entire trip cost less than a single US private quote."— David, Manhattan
Questions from New York patients
Why isn't Wharton's Jelly MSC therapy available in the US?
Allogeneic Wharton's Jelly MSC products fall under the FDA's regulatory framework for cellular therapies (21 CFR 1271) and are not generally approved for routine private use outside of registered clinical trials. International protocols using these cells are therefore not commercially available at most US clinics.
Do US patients need a visa for Turkey?
US passport holders can obtain a Turkish e-Visa online for stays of up to 90 days — typically issued in minutes, well in advance of a standard treatment trip.
