At the age of eight, Valeria began to experience a rapid loss of vision. We were unable to control her intraocular pressure, and despite the use of eye drops, it did not fall below 20–21 mmHg.

In Germany, we were refused treatment and told that, given the genetic syndrome, it was unlikely that any therapy would help.

When Valeria was 10 years old, we contacted Mardaleishvili Medical Center in Georgia, where she underwent two treatments with mesenchymal stem cells.

Following this therapy, we were able to stop the deterioration of her vision, improve her visual acuity by 10%, and finally achieve better control of her intraocular pressure, which has remained at 10–15 mmHg.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Nana Digmelashvili and the entire medical staff of Mardaleishvili Medical Center for their professionalism. I hope that Valeria’s vision will continue to improve.

In June 2025, Mekan underwent a transplantation of his own stem cells for the treatment of autism at the Mardaleishvili Clinic in Georgia.

During this period, we would like to highlight the following positive results.

Mekan’s immune system has improved significantly. Previously, during the winter, he often suffered from bronchitis and viral infections. This year, he has not been ill.

His understanding of addressed speech has improved, and he has started using more complex sentences in his speech. He learns poems and songs, can retell stories, and has learned to write well and count to twenty.

Mekan has become interested in other children and tries to establish contact with them. He has also started to show affection towards us and enjoys hugging.

Improvements have been observed in sensory skills: previously, he could not hold a pen or pencil, but now he draws, colors, and writes. Before the transplantation, he refused to walk on snow; this winter, he learned to slide down hills and play snowballs.

All specialists working with Mekan note significant positive progress after the transplantation.
We are very grateful to the doctors of the Mardaleishvili Clinic and hope for further improvement in our son’s condition.

In 2023, I was diagnosed with OU optic nerve atrophy due to intoxication. I tried various treatment methods, but it was not possible to stop the decline in visual acuity.

In August 2025, at the Mardaleishvili Clinic, I underwent a transplantation of my own stem cells. The cells were injected into the eye, the orbit, and the cerebrospinal fluid. At that time, my visual acuity was 0.2 in the right eye and 0.3 in the left eye.

In January 2026, I visited my ophthalmologist because I noticed a significant improvement in my vision. The examination recorded the following results: right eye — 90% vision, left eye — 100% vision. Perimetry also showed a significant expansion of the visual field.

As of today, these results have been maintained, and my overall health has improved significantly. I have returned to a full life and was even able to drive again.

I would like to express my gratitude to Dr. Nana Digmelashvili and the entire medical staff of the Mardaleishvili Clinic for their professionalism.

In November 2025, Elina underwent an autologous stem cell transplantation for autism treatment at the Mardaleishvili Clinic in Georgia.

Although only two and a half months have passed since the transplantation, we are already seeing clear positive results.

Elina’s understanding of spoken language has improved — she now understands and follows all of our instructions. Her vocabulary has expanded, and she has started forming two- to three-word sentences. At kindergarten and during individual sessions, specialists immediately noticed improvements in Elina’s development. Her attention span has increased, and she has become more focused, patient, and receptive to learning.

Elina has started communicating with other children at kindergarten. She has also begun trying a wider variety of foods, which she did not do before the transplantation.

We are very grateful to the doctors at the clinic and hope to continue seeing positive progress in our daughter.

I have glaucoma and high myopia. After a macular rupture and silicone oil implantation, I developed optic nerve atrophy.

In November 2023, at the Mardaleishvili Clinic in Georgia, I underwent a transplantation of my own bone marrow stem cells to help address my condition. Two days before the transplantation, I had a full examination. My results were: right eye – 3% vision, intraocular pressure 23 mmHg; left eye – 0% vision, intraocular pressure 36 mmHg.

I underwent therapeutic laser procedures – MPLT and cyclodestruction – to regulate intraocular pressure. After these procedures, I have been able to maintain intraocular pressure at 16–18 mmHg with the help of eye drops.

A few months after the transplantation, my vision improved to 15%. My visual field has significantly expanded.

I want to express my gratitude to Dr. Nana Digmelashvili for her professionalism and for giving me the opportunity to live a more fulfilling life for the last two years.

The transplantation went successfully, and I truly felt that we had placed our trust in the right hands. The doctors’ attention to detail, their compassion, and their warm attitude toward patients are invaluable. Their professionalism, care, and dedication deserve the highest praise.

The results we observed in Sasha were beyond anything we expected. The next day after the transplantation, for the first time in five years, I saw my son dance. It was clumsy, but it brought us indescribable joy. Sasha began using the toilet independently. He also started clearly showing what he wants to watch on the phone — something he had never been able to communicate before. All these changes happened within just two days after the procedure. I sincerely hope this is only the beginning.

We are deeply grateful to the doctors of the Mardaleishvili Clinic for giving us this opportunity and hope. We wish them continued success in their important work.

In 2024, we learned about the Mardaleishvili Clinic in Georgia. The doctors there offered us treatment for Mia’s condition through transplantation of her own stem cells derived from bone marrow.

In September 2024, we traveled to Georgia for the transplantation. Two days before the procedure, Mia underwent a full medical examination and laser procedures. The transplantation itself was successful and without complications.

We would like to share the results achieved within a year after the transplantation.
At the time of our first visit, Mia could only see hand movement in front of her right eye, and her left eye had about 10% vision. A year later, her left eye vision improved to 40%, and her visual field expanded significantly.

In November 2025, we underwent a second transplantation at the Mardaleishvili Clinic to further enhance the results achieved.

We are deeply grateful to Dr. Nana Digmelashvili for her professionalism and we remain hopeful for further improvement in Mia’s vision.

In July 2024, he underwent a transplantation of own stem cells for autism correction at the Mardaleishvili Medical Centre in Georgia.

Just three months after the transplantation, we began to notice the first positive changes.

Before the procedure, Amirkhon had only echolalia — he used to repeat the words and phrases he heard. Now he speaks on his own and expresses his own thoughts.

His concentration and ability to learn have improved significantly. Now Amirkhon knows the alphabet, numbers, the names of animals, vegetables, and fruits. He has developed a great love for books and has learned to read syllable by syllable.

Before the transplantation, he had no sense of fear or danger — he would run away from home or onto the road. Now he has developed a sense of self-preservation and understands what is allowed and what is not.

Amirkhon has become more social — he hugs, plays with other children, and enjoys communication. It used to be difficult to take him anywhere, but now he behaves calmly in public places.

After the transplantation, his sleep became regular, and self-aggressive behavior completely disappeared.

We are very grateful to the doctors and the entire team of the clinic for their care, dedication, and professionalism. We hope for further improvement in our son’s condition.

Ilgar underwent a transplantation of his own stem cells for correction of his vision at the Mardaleishvili Medical Clinic in Georgia.

The material was taken from the pelvic bone. The isolated stem cells were injected into his right eye, into the orbit and intrathecally.

A month and a half after the transplant, Ilgar complained that he felt uncomfortable wearing the glasses that were prescribed to him before the transplant. After visiting an ophthalmologist, we discovered that his vision in the right eye was 45%, when before the transplant it was only 20%, and in the left eye, vision improved to 100%, and before the transplant it was 80%.

I would like to express my gratitude to the doctors of the clinic of Mardaleishvili, especially Dr. Nana Digmelashvili for her professionalism. In a month and a half after transplantation, we achieved results that we could not have achieved for 12 years of treatment. We hope for further improvement in our son’s vision. Thank you for being!

Since the transplantation, Dilana has definitely shown improvements.

She learned to use the toilet, which she couldn’t do before. Before the transplantation, Dilana did not speak and didn’t respond to her name, but now she almost fully understands spoken language.

Dilana has become much more sociable, approaches other children more often, tries to make contact, and has started to hug.

Previously, she only ate baked goods and kefir, which caused constipation and discomfort, but now she eats absolutely everything—fruits, vegetables, soups, etc.

Dilana is also showing improvement in learning; she has become more independent and focused. After the procedure, her sleep has also improved.

Now, Dilana attends a regular kindergarten, goes to swimming classes, and also attends a correctional center, where everyone praises her for her progress.

We are very grateful to the doctors at the clinic and hopeful for further improvement in Dilana’s condition.
