Stem cell treatment in Sapporo: check the clinic is registered

Hokkaido has 12 institutions and 35 filings on the public register held by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. That number is not a measure of quality — it only means these institutions completed the legal filing. This page lists what you can verify.

Institutions scoring higher on disclosure

We reviewed the websites of 9 institutions in this area against the same 19 checks. Those scoring higher are listed below.

  1. 1 札幌中央整形外科クリニック 幹細胞治療 / 培養上清液 / PRP療法 30
  2. 2 札幌ひざ関節症クリニック 幹細胞治療 / PRP療法 29
  3. 3 HöRM CLINIC（ホルムクリニック） 幹細胞治療 / 培養上清液 28
  4. 4 札幌ひざのセルクリニック 幹細胞治療 26
  5. 5 リペアセルクリニック 札幌院 幹細胞治療 / PRP療法 24

The score measures website disclosure only. It does not measure treatment outcomes, physician skill or patient satisfaction. A low score means we could read little from the website, not that the institution is poor.

Main districts

District names are left in Japanese. That is the spelling you will see on station signs, maps and in taxis, so it is more useful to memorise the original.

  • 大通・大通公園周辺
  • 札幌駅周辺
  • すすきの
  • 円山・宮の森

Three things to confirm before you visit

  1. That the institution is on the register (it may be filed under a corporate name, not the name on the door)
  2. The total cost in writing, including cell processing, number of sessions, follow-up visits and storage fees
  3. Which hospital they transfer you to in an emergency — only a small minority publish this
