Joy Kong, MD - Chara Health/Uplyft Longevity Center

Everyone here is so nice! They greet you warmly, and remember your name. The treatment was easy and completely painless. They did an amazing job, I was surprised by all the different treatments I received, in a short period of time. I had the stem cell infusion followed by exosomes. Their product is tested repeatedly, to be of the highest quality. I was hesitant at first, now I feel very hopeful the stem cells will help in my battle with Lyme disease. Can’t wait to see the results! A very positive experience!!

Thanks for making my stem cell experience comfortable and positive. I appreciate everyone’s kindness and attention. Thanks for explaining everything carefully along the way. I especially appreciate Dr Shivani and Dr Mike for guiding me to make the most of my treatment and answering all my questions before coming here to the clinic.
I’ve had neck pain for over 30 years due to a rollover accident. I have a herniated disc at C5-6 and two more bulging cervical discs. I have done research on stem cells in TJ Mexico, Puerto Vallarta Mexico and Thailand and have found Chara Health Clinic to be the most knowledgeable and providing the best stem cells possible.

I am very pleased and hope to see excellent results within the next few months. Thanks everyone. Blessings

Where do I begin? I am 76 & live in Honolulu. I have been watching Dr Joy Kong on YouTube for awhile now & finally decided to come to Chara Health to receive a stem cell treatment. I normally don’t go on trips due to my fear of airplanes but…fly…I did. A great feat in & of itself. I arrived at clinic early & met Elsie, who graciously allowed me to enter in. Being that I was so early, she put me into the red light bed for 20 minutes. It was astonishing. Then I met Perla who gently started my IV & gave me the ozone to oxygenate my blood. Then Dr. Sarah Amirmehrabi, the earth angel of Chara Health, ministered the stems cells & the laser treatments. With each step of the way Dr. Amirmehrabi compassionately made me feel so comfortable & safe. She also did a special kind of body work to help my body release the tension I had been carrying for years. I came to clinic with such a heavy heart & I am honest when I say that I haven’t felt this good for years. And also, she ministered the peptides & showed me how to do it at home. In short, I highly recommend everyone to come to Chara Health & Dr. Amirmehrabi. I am her patient now & I will fly here as often as I can to receive the cutting edge treatments that Chara Health provides.

I am a 70 year old Parkinson's patient diagnosed 20 years ago. This year, my Parkinson's disease accelerated to the point that I started looking for a new treatment. I found Chara Health and decided to try the stem cell therapy. My first treatment was Aug. 5th, 2025. I noticed results as soon as my treatment was over. I could get up from the chair without assistants and I walked two and a half blocks from the clinic back to my hotel. After about a week, my vision had improved from an old injury to where I could see sharper with better focus. My voice improved and was much stronger and everyone noticed that I spoke clearer. The next thing that I noticed was my sense of smell was returning after several years. Everyone commented on my face looking alive and younger again. After several years of struggling to walk, I now have more confidence in my walking skills and I don't use my walker now.
The clinic was very nice and the staff exceptional. Dr. Sarah was my Provider and she was excellent. Very knowledgable about stem cell treatment for Parkinson's. When In CA, I had the pleasure of meeting the founder of the clinic, Dr. Joy Kong. She was very nice and gave me a hug. Elsie and Alexa are extremely nice and helpful when I call the office with questions.
If you are thinking about stem cell therapy, I highly recommend Chara Health. I traveled from Ohio to California to go to their clinic. At first is was a hard decision due to the cost but after treatment, I know it was the right thing for me. I am very happy with my results and will be returning in October for a second treatment.

After years of research, my husband and I decided to go with Chara Health for our son's stem cell therapy—and we couldn’t be happier with our decision.
We had in-depth consultations with Dr. Gillenwater, who was absolutely fantastic. She answered all of our questions with clarity and compassion. She's an absolute gem—so knowledgeable and genuine. I truly felt that I could trust someone like her with my son’s care.
From the moment we walked into the clinic to the moment we left, we felt like we were part of the Chara Health family. The entire team was warm, patient, informative, and incredibly kind. It made such a difference to feel so supported throughout the process.
A special thank you to Nurse Perla, Dr. Gillenwater, and Bola—you are the ultimate dream team! We also had the opportunity to meet and speak with Dr. Kong, and wow—what an incredibly knowledgeable and insightful doctor! She took her time to answer any additional questions we had.
I highly recommend this clinic. We are already looking forward to bringing our son back for his second treatment.
