Dr. Jose J. Valencia R. M.D.
Gerontologist | Hospice Doctor | Thanatologist | Regenerative Medicine Specialist
With over 47 years of experience in gerontology, hospice care, and thanatology, Dr. Jose J. Valencia R. M.D. is dedicated to humane, regenerative medicine that enhances quality of life and alleviates suffering. His approach is deeply personal—he listens without interruption, understanding that true healing begins with **compassion, experience, and precise judgment**.
Dr. Valencia specializes in stem cell therapy, exosomes, and placental implants to treat neurodegenerative diseases, autoimmune conditions, chronic illnesses, and pain management. He believes in creating personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique medical history, recognizing that the root of many conditions may lie in the distant past.
A Revolutionary Approach to Aging and Healing
A pioneer in Gerontoprofilaxis—the philosophy that individuals must take responsibility for aging well—Dr. Valencia has authored 12 books on aging with dignity and quality of life. His extensive experience has shown that traditional medicine often burdens patients with excessive medications, leading to unnecessary suffering. This realization led him to explore alternative therapies, ultimately discovering the profound benefits of stem cell therapy.
A Doctor Who Has Lived His Own Treatment
Dr. Valencia doesn’t just prescribe regenerative medicine—he has experienced its benefits firsthand. After suffering vision problems and a heart condition due to medication side effects, he turned to stem cell therapy. Within weeks, his vision improved, and his supposed “sudden death syndrome” heart condition disappeared—an unintended but extraordinary side effect. This personal success further reinforced his commitment to offering safe, effective, and life-enhancing treatments.
With honesty, humility, and love at the heart of his practice, Dr. Valencia continues to transform lives, offering hope where traditional medicine has fallen short.
