Cord Blood Registry Reviews

I had our first baby, and cord blood banking seemed like a really good thing to do. It's a precautionary against childhood illnesses and different things like that. So, I went ahead and did it with Cord Blood Registry. I looked at a few other companies, but that was the one that my doctor's office and everything was saying to go with. I did it really close to my due date. It was a last-minute thing. The person that I spoke with starting out was great. I've spoken to him a couple different times, and he was always awesome. I had our baby in 2022.

My mother was doing research on another company and realized that it was way too expensive. The hospital was pushing that company on us, but my mother figured out what she did for me and my brother, which was Cord Blood Registry. The process was 50 times easier than the other company and they way more responsive. My mother set everything up for me because I had an emergency C-section. I was in the hospital and wasn't able to do it. Once I was able to answer questions and do everything, it was way easier than what the other company was setting up. Once my baby was delivered, Cord Blood Registry had somebody there within 45 minutes. If she gets some weird disease, they can tap into that to see what she needs. I'm sure I'll use them for all my other kids.

We’ve been with Cord Blood Registry for almost 20 years. I haven’t had a bad experience with them. So, that’s good. They've been incredibly fair. There have been years that our payments have been late by months, and they didn't get rid of some of your sample. Sometimes, it was four months. It’s been a fair price in 20 years. It does go up every single year. We pay $225 a year. The reps are very friendly. They’ve always been very accommodating or helpful.

My older child has autoimmune and autoinflammatory disease. That's a life-threatening disease, and his care team, including researchers and scientists, encouraged us to save the cord blood for our second child so, in the future, he can benefit from that. In the future, they are planning to do stem transplant because that disease is under research. So, a lot of things are going on. They are not sure what to do and when to do it, but they are doing a lot of other new things that he can be getting an advantage from the saved tissue from my second one. Some of our friends are very well aware of my older one's situation and my family's financial struggle. So, they said somebody had a good experience with CBR and they told us to check with CBR if we can get any discount. They said it's a reliable company. So, I checked with CBR and I went with that.

My mother, my great-uncle and my husband's uncle all had leukemia. Back in 1995, I was receiving the Leukemia Foundation newsletter and my husband and I decided it was something we wanted to do if there was any possibility of helping a child if they ended up with that terrible disease. Cord Blood Registry was part of the article, and we chose to go with them. We have two children and their cord blood is stored there. We've been happy that we have not had to use it.

I’m a risk-averse person, so I always think the worst can happen. I just wanted to be prepared and decided to bank our baby's stem cells. The representatives at Cord Blood were fine. I messaged and said I wanted to participate. They sent me a box. I took it to the delivery room. They took care of everything. I barely had to think about it.

I had a friend whose son had leukemia. They used stem cells for his child's treatment and was successful. So, I wanted to stem mine just in case it will be needed for medical issues in the future. I knew friends that used Cord Blood Registry and liked them. So based off of their recommendations, I went with them. Their reps were great and easy to work with. So far, I just pay our annual banking fee. It's an easy once a year transaction and I've been happy. Thankfully, we haven't need to use my cord blood, but I'm grateful to have it in case. That gives me peace of mind.

The process was easy. Cord Blood Registry showed up with less than hours difference, and it was done. Everything was perfect.

Everything went well when we signed up. Cord Blood Registry sent the kit to my home, and then I brought the kit with me to the hospital. The process was easy. The instructions were straightforward, and if I had any questions, Cord Blood Registry was able to answer them. The pricing at first was a little bit high, but it was okay. We were able to pay it. We didn't have to pay it all at once, so I thought that the payment plan was nice. Then the payments afterwards to continue to store are not as bad as the initial payments. Once a year is fine.

My uncle had leukemia. That was the reason why I decided to use Cord Blood Registry's service. I signed up with them almost 20 years ago, and I have had no issues.

When my son who is now turning 22 was born, my dad was very sick. He had cancer and leukemia. At the time, cord blood banking was very new information out and it was very expensive. But we thought if we were able to save his cord blood, that we might be able to help save my dad. We did it with Cord Blood Registry and their customer service has been incredible. It was $3,000, which was a lot of money for us back in those days, but it's worth every single penny. I don't think there's any price that you could put on having the ability to help a sick family member or save a life.

We banked our baby's newborn stem cells and we’re doing it again with Cord Blood Registry. But we haven't paid for the second one. You never know if you're gonna need it in the future. You get a discount if you pay for your 18 years upfront, but that is very expensive. Still, if I ever need it, it’s almost like a good insurance policy.

I have a genetic eye disease called macular degeneration and we thought that preserving the stem cells might be of benefit later on if there's ever something to use it for, either for my eyes or for my first son. So, we signed up Cord Blood Registry. Then we did the same thing two years later for my other son. Cord Blood Registry has been fantastic and very helpful whenever I needed them. Especially in setting things up, they were great. I'd call when I'd have to update my credit card and I got right through. They knew exactly what to do and we got it done quickly and efficiently. After we got the kit, the delivery doctor looked at what needed to be done. Then they threw the cord blood back in a box, called and had somebody come pick it up right away, and it was whooshed away to the freezer. They keep it preserved and everything's good. The price is reasonable, too.

I found Cord Blood Registry online and then I called them and spoke to a lady. I was doing research online because they said that they could do the stem cell. They can help with cancer and autism. The lady was really nice and she gave me all the information. She was very helpful. CBR had deals and different sales. Communicating with them has been great. I haven't had any issues at all. The cord blood has been banked for three years. They send us information and new studies that they're doing throughout the year. They pretty much keep us updated that way.

I was interested in Cord Blood Registry's service because of having miscarriages and a blood disorder. Getting enrolled was perfect. Everything was very easy. I liked how efficient they were. I got a lot of pamphlets and brochures. I can call them on the phone, and they address all of my questions right away.

With the technology coming out in the future, having the cord blood could potentially have some innovative medical substance to the increased health of our kids as they get older. So, signing up with Cord Blood Registry was more for future avoidance for health of the kids. Everything went well with them but for the last five plus years, they've raised the rates exponentially and that is a problem. I'm at a point now where I'm considering switching plans and telling my kids they need to take it over. I'm not going to pay $500 to store cord blood a year for two kids.

I knew that my daughter was our last child, and I've always been a little bit nervous about getting cancer or my kids getting cancer. So, I thought that it would be nice to have some stem cells just in case we need it. We had stumbled upon Cord Blood Registry and so far, our experience with them has been great. The only thing I've had to do with their reps was change my credit card when I had to get a new one and they were friendly. They'll call you for that and that way, your contract doesn't lapse. I appreciate that. All in all, I'm very comfortable recommending them to my friends.

The whole stem cell thing and the possibility of emerging research convinced me that banking cord blood was a good idea in case something happen, God forbid, in the future. I looked it up and based on what I saw in the brochure, I reached out to Cord Blood Registry. Then we got it and handed it to the medical staff at the hospital. They knew what to do from there. If you can afford it, that's an option for you. At the time, it was non-expensive and it seemed like it was prudent to invest in something that may be valuable down the road.

I banked my two children's cord blood in 2001 and 2003. In 2024, we made the decision to end the cord blood banking for a variety of reasons that ranged with concerns about the viability of the samples from those early days, and also the expense. When you try to cancel your cord blood banking, CBR makes it VERY DIFFICULT. Once you identify the purpose of your call, you are immediately put on a minimum 20-minute hold to speak to a specialist who can cancel your subscription. Once you finally get through, the specialist will not immediately cancel the accounts. She will pepper you with questions about your reasoning for ending the account and continue a very HARD SELL campaign to keep you from ending the subscription (AFTER 20 YEARS!!!). Finally, the specialist offers a free year of storage to "think about it." The following year, I emailed them to cancel the accounts.

When I was pregnant with my daughter that just turned 18, there was a lot of pamphlets about CBR and talk about it in the offices. My OB at the time told me that it was a reputable company and I had read about it. I went with them, and I've never had an issue. Every time I call, it's always a professional experience and everything seems to be taken care of. I have two children that have the cord blood. At the time, the tissue wasn't offered but now it is so it's over $400 just for one of my kids. They have plans to store it, but it's a little expensive. They have offers where you could pay in full, which is at a reduced rate. But I wish they'd have something like a little more discount for people who have multiple children because it gets a little expensive. It's great and I didn't want to not get the service as anything could happen. Sometimes you want to do it because it's so important, but it's also a maintenance and the initial fee and you don't want to do it.

I've been doing Cord Blood Registry for over 20 years now so I've been paying them for 20 years as well. I pay the same amount every year. The doctor recommended it, and I'm satisfied with it. I hope I never have to use it but the benefits now are much greater than they were 20 years ago with the stem cells. It's worth the money if somebody in the family needs them one day. I would just hope they're still there.

The advice to bank my newborn's stem cells and cord blood and tissuesis was given by the OB-GYN in case there were any issues with the pregnancy. I go to Cord Blood Registry's website around my son's birthday to make payments, but it is a little challenging doing it. They might have an auto pay option. But it's a lot of money right around my son's birthday and Christmas time. So, I try to log on to the site, and it will be a day or two after my son's birthday that the invoice is available. The price keeps going up every year but they worked with us, especially during COVID when we were having issues with finances.

The doctor told us about Cord Blood Registry and that it's possible in the future that you could use the stem cells to treat other things in the child as well as the family. It's been easy to work with them. You pay your bill and they store your cord blood stem cells. I would highly recommend Cord Blood Registry.

I decided to use a service like Cord Blood Registry because I was having a baby, and my sister told me it was a good idea to do it. Somebody recommended the company. My daughter is five and I was going to cancel my subscription, but the representative I talked to last year put some discounts in. She said they could charge less because I don’t know if I’m going to have another baby, and she cut the fee in half. Cord Blood Registry is a very good company. They do what they say. They advertise correctly and are very helpful whenever I call. It’s a straightforward experience, and I do recommend them.

We are with Cord Blood Registry for the last 10 years. When my son was born in 2015, we wanted to use to store his cord blood registry and we went with Cord Blood Registry because my friend referred me. So far, they've met our expectations but we haven't used the cord blood yet. Other than that, every year I'd be calling them and I'd be paying the money. The service and their representatives are good.

I found Cord Blood Registry on Google during my pregnancy and I felt that was a good investment for my child. I signed up and Carmen, my rep, was great. They explained the process very thoroughly. When your baby is born, you ship a piece of the umbilical cord and they process it. They get it down to stem cells, where you can use it in case your baby gets hurt or they need a blood transfusion.

I've had Cord Blood Registry for 21 years. The way that it worked 21 years ago was that as soon as you're gonna have a baby, you need to let the courier know. We had to make a phone call to let them know. When I was at the hospital, the courier showed up and took the cord blood. It was very simple to do business with them. It was not like a task. Back then, I paid in full and it was $3,000 until the child was 18 years old. So, now I'm on an annual plan where I pay $110 for a year.

We decided to bank our baby's newborn stem cells. Our daughter is now three. My mom has had some autoimmune issues, and then needed cord blood. She used cord blood for some stuff. So, I thought it would be a good idea just in case we needed it in the future. My sister-in-law, who does a lot of research into companies was the one who referred me to CBR. She just used them for her cord blood stuff. So, I trust her opinion. CBR's representative was really good and helpful and she helped me with any questions I had regarding getting everything sent. I remember having the process of getting it sent after my baby was born. It was really simple and clear for us. I had a good experience with them.

My friend's wife whose a nurse said every penny you spend on cord blood banking is worth it. I signed up for my first child, and the process was good. Everything was taken care of in a timely manner. Anytime I have something, I call them and they're pretty responsive. I will recommend Cord Blood Registry. It's a good thing. The storage is very expensive though.

When my son was born 21 years ago, Cord Blood Registry was one of the few that we found. We signed up and while we haven't used them since 21 years ago, I still pay for his storage. As far as the kit, the process was so convenient. It went right to the hospital through Federal Express. They put everything together in the hospital and they waited and took it right with them. It was easy. I thought storing my son's cord blood was an incredible thing to do, God forbid, if anything was to happen to pretty much anybody in the family. I thought it was a smart decision to make. I would highly recommend CBR.

Cord Blood Registry was suggested to me by my OB-GYN on the birth of my second daughter. At the hospital, they took care of everything. That was four years ago and I've been renewing every time at the end of every year. I read about the benefits of saving the cord and the cells. So, my husband and I decided to keep on and we've been doing it for four years. So far, it's been good. The people at CBR were very professional. I don't have to worry about anything. The payments are fair. They don't overcall you, too. The only thing is when I try to renew my payment, I had to stick with someone to do that for only a year and not to do a lifetime or set of years.

The whole process with Cord Blood Registry was very simple. Our kit went right to the doctor, right to the hospital. Right after delivery, the kit was there in the room. I've told lots of people about CBR. It's just that a lot of people don't want to spend the money. I just told them there are so much that can go wrong, and you have a backup if the cord blood would work.

We decided to bank our baby's newborn stem cells for life-saving reasons. They said you can use it for different diseases if she or her parents got sick and needed it. I had no issues with Cord Blood Registry at all.

My cousin banked her baby's newborn stem cells before me. So, she recommended it and I did it for my second child. My son is already 14 years old. I would recommend CBR 100%.

Cord Blood Registry was what was recommended. I went through a fertility clinic for my son's birth and, thankfully, I was able to get pregnant on the third try and he was born in December of 2024. He'll be two this December. The CBR representatives were wonderful. They explained everything very well and very professionally. They helped me understand exactly how it all works. It was a little bit expensive because it's not really something that we're currently using, but if something were to happen in the future and we needed to use it, we have it available. So, that's the good thing, but it could be a little bit cheaper. A little less always helps.

We've been using CBR since my oldest kid was almost 17. We have three kids total. So since we had the first one with CBR, we also went there for the subsequent kids. My OB-GYN initially recommended them when I was pregnant. Also, we live in Tucson and their headquarters was about a mile from the office where I was working all the time. So I drive by them. They're local to use. When we had the kids, we had my mom or friends drive over the kit and saved the shipping fees. The initial cost is not that bad but the yearly storage fees can be a little prohibitive. But at this point, I'm in with my kids being around so long. They went up a lot the last couple of years and I called CBR and they put them back to the rates that they were the years that we originally had. That was pretty quick and painless.

We saw an advertisement at the hospital, and we went with Cord Blood Registry when we had our child. Signing up was very easy and I haven't had anything but positive interactions. I would recommend CBR. It’s straightforward and affordable.

Just before giving birth, I was reading about the benefits of cord blood banking, and I decided that it's a good thing to do. I can form a healthy family and at the same time, it's nice to have something that can save some of us in the future. Financially, the moment wasn’t the best. But the rep was nice and helped me get what we needed to get done. I registered and once I gave birth, my doctor did what she needed to do and the cord blood is in storage. I’m comfortable recommending CBR to others.

There’s a history of cancer in the paternal line and just in case there are any new scientific innovations, I decided to go into cord blood banking. I didn’t know of any other company so I went with Cord Blood Registry. The reps were always very polite and helpful whenever I needed them.

Cord Blood Registry was the first one that was offered to me, and it was a great idea. So, I did it for peace of mind. The service was excellent when I signed up and I recommend for any future parents to bank with them. CBR treats you with care and they’re professional. From what I got, the price was great, though when I got it again later on, it went up.
