Cord Blood Registry Reviews

I knew about saving cord blood from school. I'm a biology major. But it was my doctor in the office who referred the company. I asked her about the options and she gave me the booklet for Cord Blood Registry. I have the opportunity and the financial opportunity, so I wanted to save the cord blood for my baby. I know that those stem cells have big potential. Maybe she will not need it, but just in case she does it in the future. I only went through the beginning process. Everything was on the top regular experience so far. The representatives have always been in touch with me when I needed them and provided me with all the information that I was interested in. They always take the phone and responded to my questions. They were never in a hurry. They listened to all of my concerns and gave me extensive answers to all I wanted to know. And they were always reachable, whether it was via email or via phone.

conversations with them were pretty seamless and they had more customer testimonials available on the website. Overall, their customer service was really good. Being almost a new mom, I had a ton of questions, so I was calling a lot and they were nice to me.

I was expecting and I did a lot of research and cord blood banking was of interest to me. I also spoke to other people who had done similar things in terms of ensuring that, should anything happen with the baby, there's something there that can potentially help them later in life, which was the key reason why we did it. The rep from Cord Blood Registry was very knowledgeable. We had not only online information to understand the process, but they were also very informative. If we had questions, they were responsive. They explained everything, and I had quite a few questions, and they put me at ease. So, it worked out.

The child I did cord blood banking with is 20 now. He was our fourth baby and we had a big gap in between. We thought that if anyone in our family would ever need those stem cells, we were in a financial position with him and his birth and we could bank his cord blood where we wouldn't have been able to with the other kids. That was along our line of thinking at that time. Most everyone was banking cord blood at that time as well. I don't know if it was new or trendy with people in my area during that time, but I went along with what everyone was doing. It's been a while since we went with Cord Blood Registry, but it was all I had ever heard of and it's all I still ever heard of. They must have been more thorough about putting their information in maternity packets. With my daughters that have had babies, we haven't seen any advertisement. My daughters have never even heard of cord blood banking.

I've been reading a lot about stem cells and how it's going to be very important in the future and it could help treat very difficult diseases. Hopefully, my daughter will never need to use them. Instead of just throwing them away, maybe I can save the umbilical cord and blood for her. You never know what's going to happen in the future. My gynecologist referred me to Cord Blood Registry when I told her I was considering saving the umbilical cord and umbilical slots for my daughter. She gave me the brochure and I called them. The signup process was very easy and simple.

21 years ago, we decided to do the cord blood banking with Cord Blood Registry. We did it when our son, Aaron, was born and we did it because if we ever needed his stem cells, we would want them viable. I wish we had also done it for Justin, the oldest boy, but we didn't since we didn't know about it at the time. That was 1998. Other than that, the price was reasonable and the process with Cord Blood Registry went off without a hitch. I've recommended them to several people.

My wife was interested in storing our baby's newborn stem cells, and Cord Blood Registry was the place that the hospital had recommended. The process was really streamlined. The hospital did everything for us. They had a messenger pick the kit up as soon as the sample was ready. I'm a medicine and science person, so I think it may be eventually beneficial. Overall, our experience working with Cord Blood Registry has been great. I ran into problems paying my bills, and they were very nice and did help me out. They did some stuff for me that made everybody happy.

We took the kit to the hospital and everything was good. But it took me a while to get the kit picked up. I thought in that kit it said they would come in a couple of hours but it took me almost six hours after I called and they came and collected the kit. I had to call a couple of times to make sure are they coming or not. So there wasn't any feedback whether they received my request, whether they get to my address correctly, are they coming. I had to call and make sure, "Okay. Are they coming or not?" So that was a little bit uncertain at the moment. That was the only drawback that I saw. I recommend Cord Blood Registry to anyone. They just need to be patient.

Cord Blood Registry's procedure sounded professional, and it seemed right. We gave them the time to explain what the procedure was, and we liked it. It was doable. Our CBR reps were fantastic. Everything went exactly as they said it would when it was happening. We have three children, and we've banked stem cells with all three. There's no guarantee that all three would have the same cord blood, so we did all three. We're still paying for it.

I learned about Cord Blood Registry in 2012 and at the time, they were the only cord blood banking service I was aware of. I decided to use them for future health purposes for my growing family and I had a positive experience with the representative when I signed up. My husband mentioned the last time we paid for a year that we didn’t realize that CBR needs a certain amount of cord blood to use the stem cells. I don’t know how much was collected, so we looked it up to see whether there was enough. Had I known there was a required amount, I would have done this for each of my children. I’ve learned that a lot of people end up donating what they’ve stored, and that’s just something that’s come up recently. CBR is a nice constant to know it's there. I just wish I had more information in the beginning.

I heard about Cord Blood Registry 19 years ago through a doctor's office. It's been a positive experience all the way around. In case one of our kids needs it, there's something that could help them with their health.

I was reading up stuff while I was on bed rest when I was pregnant with my first two kids. I read that the cord blood can help save the baby's life in case he got a disease or a brain injury. I also read that throughout the years, they can get even better with what they can cure. But I ended up going into labor really early with my twins, so I wasn't able to do the Cord Blood Registry because it wasn't planned and I didn't have the kit.

Using Cord Blood Registry's service is like getting another insurance plan. My whole experience with them has been wonderful and things have gone smoothly. Their reps have been great and really kind. It's a joy to be having conversations with them. I've been with them for 14 years and I added another child to the thing. I'm also very comfortable recommending them.

From what I read, if there was any blood disease, storing the cord blood could help a child or even a parent at some point. I did that through Cord Blood Registry 17 years ago and their service has been great. I would recommend them. Thank God, we haven't had to use the cord blood, so I don't know how effective it is. Hopefully, I never will. But we've been paying into it for a long time.

We lived in California six years ago, and Cord Blood Registry was the only one we could get that was closer and more feasible than all the others. They did call quite a bit during the sign-up process, and since I was heavily pregnant, it was hard to talk. But they kept track of when I was about to have the baby, and then the whole handoff process was easy.

About 20 years ago, we banked our newborn daughter’s stem cells so that in the event that a family member needed it, it would be available to them. Everything was pretty much handled by the doctors at the hospital. They collected it and sent it off to Cord Blood Registry. All we had to do was set up our account ahead of time.

My OB’s office had ads and information about Cord Blood Registry, and we decided to bank our baby’s stem cells from cord blood because of all the innovations and technology out there. It could be used for future medical procedures if my kids ever need it down the road. It is pricey, but we knew that going into it.

I banked my daughter’s stem cells and she is 25 years old now. I had two children prior to her, had gotten some information over time and felt that she was my last child. I thought it would be the smart thing to do. We went with CBR and they’ve always been responsive and helpful. I have recommended them over the years to other people.

We chose Cord Blood Registry because it was the one AdventHealth provided paperwork for when my son was born. He hasn’t needed it, but just knowing it’s there is quite reassuring. My husband's the one who initially set everything up when I was actually in the hospital. But thus far, it's been very easy and successful. Customer service was excellent.

I knew this was gonna be my last child so I decided to invest in this. I regretted not doing it with my first child because cord blood can be used later in life if you have cancers, the stem cells from it. It's been 15 years and it's always been good. I get a reminder every year from Cord Blood Registry when it's time for me to pay my bill. And I also get an email annually offering me a referral if I refer anybody to them. I've only had to call customer service a couple of times but they've always been receptive and take care of whatever the problem is quickly.

I am adopted, so I wanted to make sure that there was some kind of backup for my kids in case they needed anything in regards with stem cell, and CBR is keeping my cord blood. The doctor had no problem retrieving and shipping, and they received it fine. I haven't had any worries. I just wish it wasn't so expensive to keep year after year. One thing they don't have is a program where you can donate them. Because I asked what happens if I don't pay, and they say they just throw them out. So they might wanna look into maybe being able to donate.

My wife’s OB and my sister, who is also an OB, suggested banking our baby’s newborn stem cells from their cord blood because they thought it was a good idea. The doctor we had in Plano, Texas, suggested Cord Blood Registry. We just thought in advance it was safer to have it, though I hope to never use it. The CBR representatives were perfect, on time, and easy. At the time my son was born and every year after, I have paid one time. They reply fast, answer all my questions, and I like that.

We had other children who had medical anomalies. And even without knowing if our newborn would have medical anomalies, we decided to bank her stem cells knowing that it’s being looked at as a potential for treatments.

My ex-wife brought up the idea of storing blood tissue when our children were born and I thought it was a good idea. The reps at CBR were always nice and helpful.

We found out about CBR from our attending physician that provided the birth of our daughter. We thought that it was the best thing to do based on the clinical evidence. It’s very beneficial to people. It’s been a good experience with them and a positive future investment.

We looked into Cord Blood Registry around the time of having our first child and chose them because of the service they offer, ease of use, and the price. I was a little skeptical about how it was all going to work, but everything came together exactly the way they said it would. The doctor knew how to collect the sample, and when it was time for it to be picked up and taken away, we just called the number and everything was good.

I wanted to ensure I could protect my daughter cause she only got one parent, and so I signed up with Cord Blood Registry. The representative was good and shared to me why doing this is beneficial because of the expanding technology. Very satisfied with the experience.

I got interested with cord blood registry because my cousin who is an OB-GYN explained the benefits to me. If my daughter becomes ill, her cord blood will help her with recovery or healing. So I felt like I should do it.

My doctor was super passionate about Cord Blood Registry and what appealed to me most was having it available in case of any future illness in the family. My daughter is 15 now and I just hope we never have to use it. I have reached out to them maybe once a year at most, sometimes once every other year. They do keep up and check in, and then there’s just the annual membership to pay. But it’s a minimal cost for what is essentially a medical insurance policy.

My experience has been simple and informative. When I reached out to Robert, he was very informative and made it really easy. It still is, and it's been 16 years since I banked cord blood. You get emails from Cord Blood Registry at least monthly telling you about new developments, new research, information, opportunities to give referrals. For the minimal cost, it is so important to bank it because you never know what health issues or genetic issues your child is gonna have as they grow and develop. I wish I would have done it with my first child, but I didn't find out about it till my second. But it's really gonna benefit my kids because I did find out that one child has genetic birth defects, so it will help her one day.

My wife had suggested banking our baby's cord blood. We googled a couple of different places and went with Cord Blood Registry. It was a pretty easy and straightforward process in the beginning. We gave the boxes to the doctor and they took it from there. Once a year, we'll get an email or if we have a question we reach out to them. They're professionals and well-informed. They give us information we need. My only suggestion is every year, as technology changes, they could shoot us an email and let us know what's available with stem cells, like what are they being used for and the different procedures that might benefit from using the cord blood.

We were reading up more about stem cells and we were also hearing about how it can help with certain cancers and illnesses. We were in a different financial place where we could afford cord blood banking a little bit more than we could with the first two children. We also found out that we were eligible to use it for any of our kids as long as they matched up until they were 18, then it would became the child's. That made us feel good too. A friend had banked with Cord Blood Registry and told us about them. We signed up as well and now have two different storages with Cord Blood Registry.

I wanted to preserve anything from the baby, so if the baby gets sick with a rare disease, it can be fixed with the umbilical cord. I also had difficulty getting pregnant, and I didn't want my children to have to go through the same thing. I didn't plan to give birth yet but when I got to the hospital I was having contractions. I called CBR an hour before I gave birth, and the person was very nice on the phone. They were very helpful as well. But now I don't even talk to them. They just collect my money and this year, the price went up. I'm tired of paying that much and I wanna pay one time. I asked them if I could pay for last time but they said I can only pay for 18 years. The price for the service could go lower. I've recommend a few of my friends to go with them but they didn't want to pay.

We used CBR's service for peace of mind, and the rep who helped us getting signed up was wonderful. However, they could reach out a little bit more. We have an 18-year-old, a 16-year-old, and an 11-year-old who all are registered with Cord Blood. Our credit card where our recurring payments were being billed had expired but no one reached out. I owed a huge lump sum because of that. CBR could follow up more carefully when stuff like that happens. But other than that, I'm pretty satisfied.

Storing our baby's cord blood and cord tissue is a great insurance policy for any potential future illness. CBR is one of the leaders in the space, and between them and the other one that I was looking at, they had the best financial plans and offerings. They were also very thoughtful and explained everything thoroughly. I'd recommend them.

Cord Blood Registry touted that their storage facility is located in an area that is less prone to natural disasters. I also liked the availability if you would need the specimen, not just for the children, but for the parents as well. The other options are communal - you give your specimen, but you're not guaranteed to get your own specimen back. With CBR, it's yours.

My brother recommended using Cord Blood Registry, that using them would be an advantage for the kids' health. If you have the cord blood and if anything happens in the future, like needing a bone marrow match for the family and for the baby, it can help. You will find the exact match.

We work in cancer in the medical field and I heard about Cord Blood Registry through the hospital where our kids were born. The process with the carrier went well, but early on, everything was written and sent to us. In this last experience that we had, there was nothing that was sent to us. My husband got an email and that was concerning.

My brother-in-law and sister-in-law chose CBR for their son's stem cell banking, and almost 10 years ago, I signed up with them as well. My son is highly autistic and I don't know if it's eventually gonna come in handy later on down the road, but I'm glad I did it. I have recommended CBR to a couple of friends.

We encountered couples that talked about banking their baby's cord blood and they mentioned it and we did our own research. I looked companies up online, and when I called Cord Blood Registry, the rep sounded more appealing about what they were doing and the objective. We went with them and she initiated the setup. We got the kit and the instructions were clear. We knew to bring it upon delivery. Cord Blood Registry also knew who my OB-GYN was, which made it easy to mention it to the OB-GYN doctor and they knew exactly how to process everything. Once everything was done, the guys gave the company a call and within an hour, they picked up the kit. I was satisfied.
