Cord Blood Registry Reviews

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.

I heard about Cord Blood Registry's service through my OB and I decided a few years before to store my new baby's stem cells. I signed up for the service, and my interactions with CBR were good.

My OB recommended signing up for CBR, and it was easy. I had a C-section, so the process was planned. My doctor shipped it off and got the results pretty quickly. The cost was a little bit of a penny to pinch in the beginning, but it's been manageable for all these years. I've recommended the service to my daughter-in-law who just had a baby.

We, my husband and I, are in the medical field and a long time ago, we banked our baby's cord blood as insurance for something later on in life that they may need them for. It's expensive, but that's the nature of the technology and the storage. All in all, we had an easy experience with Cord Blood Registry. They're friendly people and instead of a recording, the company has people answering the calls. We also receive emails from them.

CBR Cord Blood refuses to let us close our account unless we sign a “closure agreement” filled with unfair, one-sided terms. These include fabricated balances, demands to relinquish our rights over the stored samples, and clauses that replace the original disposition instructions from the sign-up contract; all while protecting CBR from any responsibility. If you attempt to modify any part of the agreement, they refuse to cancel the account. We’ve sent multiple formal cancellation requests, but instead of honoring them, CBR continues adding charges and escalating threats about sending the account to collections.

The doctor talked about Cord Blood Registry, but me and my husband also researched. I also had friends who have done it. Once we did the research, we wanted to move forward. The kit was mailed to my home and we took it to the hospital. My husband met with the person who picked up the kit and it was picked up in a timely manner. The amount for payment plan makes sense because of the upfront cost for the initial collection and the annual storage fee. I would go back to CBR if I needed to do it again in the future. I've actually recommended people to CBR.

My interactions with my Cord Blood representative have been fine, and I don’t have any complaints. I get mail once in a while with information about benefits, but I only have one daughter and she’s already 10, so I don’t use them that much.

Stem cells is something where the medical future is going. So, if people have the money, it would be a wise investment for their child's future. I got mine from Cord Blood Registry 18 years ago. They had the best plan going at that time. The people there are very easy to talk to and deal with. I haven’t had any issues with them. From my experience, they gave me the kit, and the hospital pretty much took care of everything.

Cord Blood has been fine. Everything is good. We did this one time, 21 years ago. My wife just thought it'd be a good idea, in case anything happened. Unfortunately, my daughter was killed in a car accident, the one that we had the cord blood for. So, she's no longer with us.

I have been with Cord Blood for three months. I decided when I was gonna have my baby to do the cord blood and tissue saving. I know I have bad luck and health issues and I heard from people saying Cord Blood is doing studies on cord blood and tissues. I went to Axia and saw a pamphlet on them. So I just did it that way.

We did the process with Cord Blood Registry 17 years ago. It was a simple process. I've never even met the people. It's expensive. But I put a value on mental health. We purchased it with the hope and prayer that you never need it. I'd rather have it and never use it and pay all that money than not have done it and then cry about it later. My daughter is an only child so it was a genetic match. We referred several people there, and one person took us up on that recommendation. But a lot of our friends didn't do it because it's expensive.

I used Cord Blood Registry 15 years ago, and I chose them because I felt more comfortable with them. My experience signing up for the service was fantastic, and my interaction with the rep exceeded my expectations. The payments are set on autopay, and I thought at that time that it was worth the price. I had a wonderful time with them, and everything was effortless.

My son’s father side of the family had a bone marrow issue so we decided to use CBR just to be safe in the future. Their customer service is good. But if I knew that their prices was gonna be increasing, I would have gone to a different company. I did get a free year ‘cause I referred somebody. But I don’t wanna refer if they’re gonna keep increasing the price.

I have been with Cord Blood Registry for over 29 years. My family has a line of disabilities, and I wondered if saving stem cells could help someday. At the time, they were the only company I knew of that offered this service. The hospital where my cord blood was collected had never done the process before, but they were willing to do it. The nurses had to be educated on the collection kit, but the process went smoothly. Overall, the experience has been good, but I would like more updates about what cord blood can do today, including breakthroughs and how the process would work if it ever needed to be used.

Cord Blood Registry has been a good experience. My husband handled it and I've never had any issues. They did address some questions that I had when I was updating our credit card information and they handled it well.

My spouse heard about them from a recommendation of somebody else and the reviews were good. They take care of everything on their end from the moment the baby is born. They made it simple. They give you all the instructions. They did everything well and right. From there, it's just protocol of making annual payments.

Save your money. Don’t sign an agreement with CBR. If you look at the 5-star reviews, they are from people who just stored their child’s stems cells. Sure the company is great to work with then; they want your business. 17-18yrs later, CBR comes calling for an annual storage fee. I emailed them in Oct 2024 that I did not wish to continue and to please close the account. No reply. Then in Aug 2025 I get a bill $150 due Nov 2024 and $160 due Nov 2025 (total $310). I emailed back with a copy of my Oct 2024 cancellation email. I was told I still had to pay the $150 charge but they would waive the Nov 2025 $160 charge. I paid the $150 to make them go away. But NO, got a call today that I have to fill in some paperwork with my (now) adult child AND settle my bill, otherwise it will go to Finance. I see Bill Collections in my future. Look at the BBB site. There are numerous people trying to get out of this CBR racket.

It was my doctor’s advice to bank my baby’s cord blood due to my family medical history, and I really didn’t have a choice but to do it. He recommended three companies and I did research on all of them, and I chose Cord Blood Registry. I brought the kit with me to the hospital on my due date, and the CBR guys took the cord blood at the hospital.

Cord Blood Registry was recommended by a doctor. I got them just as an opportunity to use stem cells to fix the issue if anything goes wrong. I had the initial interaction with them 14 years ago and they provided the information and benefits and met my expectations.

Cord blood banking was very new and under testing, and I really couldn't turn it down. It was the extra insurance policy. My sister and I were both pregnant at the same time, and we both looked into it and decided we would do it 30 years ago. Once my sister and I delivered and we got the specimen collected, then we had to get to the airport with it, buy a plane ticket and fly it out. It was not an easy chore. When I sent it in, it was just a couple hundred dollars and then I had to do the plane ticket. My daughter looked into it and it's now priced to where you can't afford to do it anymore. Those prices keep going up. I'm glad I had done it. I hope to God it never gets used.

Cord Blood was easy. I reached out by phone and their customer service was great. Everything worked out perfectly fine. There was no difficulties during the process. I had no complaints on the pricing. I would tell anyone to do Cord Blood.

We were looking at Cord Blood Registry when we were pregnant and we just reached out. I didn't do anything. It was all the doctors. They educated us on the benefits of stem cell research.

I'm a labor and delivery nurse. Your representatives were on my floor regularly. And then because I'm in that type of field, they gave an incentive certificate to do cord blood and tissue, free banking for a year, no collections. Essentially just made it worthwhile on top of the potential research that is available for it.

I banked my baby’s cord blood with Cord Blood Registry just in case for all my kids. I wanted to do that just to be on the safe side, because you never know. That one actually was given to us by the hospital because we had forgotten the other one that we had.

Do NOT use this company. They harass you for money and never actually help your family in need. I canceled this service 2 years ago for both of my children, but they claimed they never received the forms and continued charging me. Now they are harassing me for an 800 dollar bill and trying to send me to collections, even after I sent the original documents back to them signed with the date I received it. I don’t have the original email from two years ago and now they are constantly threatening and harassing me.

Scam. Offers gift cards for attending presentations, but never actually provides the $25 gift card. I reached out, but my message was ignored. Makes me think that this company is not reliable and not legitimate.

There may be benefits to having this company, thankfully i haven't had to find out. But when you/if you decide to stop using this service, WATCH OUT! I cancelled a couple of years ago via phone. I didn't document it, sadly. So I'm trying to cancel now and it's nearly impossible. In today's day and age you should be able on the website you can't. When I called to cancel again after emailing a couple of days ago with no response, it's a run around. I can't cancel, the other account holder has too. It's a racket.

I saw a published article in a magazine about new advances science had made in terms of genetics and things they could do for babies of the next generation. Science had progressed far enough that if there was ever a situation like paralysis or leukemia, the cord blood would be like an insurance policy in the sense. If they are able to use the baby's stem cells, it has a 95% cure rate not only for the baby but also it was interesting to me that it has a 50% cure rate for the parents as well.

17 years ago, I learned about Cord Blood Registry through the hospital. They wrote a pamphlet about it and they told us what might be happening in the future with it. There was also a free year so we decided to do it. 17 years later, cord stuff is a big deal. The only thing is I've been alone in this journey. Nobody from CBR cares. There was a woman who talked to me originally. She was very lovely and very gracious. However, I was left feeling like I had no idea where or how or what. I got a call about a year ago saying that I owed them money. I told them I haven't gotten any bills. I don't even know how to get on their site. So, somebody tried to walk me through it. Then the site crashed and she said they'd send me some bills. They never sent me bills, but I got a couple emails saying I was overdue on my payments. I've emailed back and never got a response. I went to try to pay it, and it was impossible to get on the website.

I thought I paid for lifetime storage of my baby’s blood, but it turns out that I only paid for 18 years. This became apparent when I received an email informing me of my impending bill, just prior to my child’s 18th birthday, so I called them and learned that I only paid for 18 years. They gave me about a month to figure out if I wanted to pay annually or for another 18 years. Well, I forgot about it (I have 4 kids to keep my attention) until two years passed and I received another email saying that they are going to send my account to collections if I don’t pay. There was no other communications with me between when I called about the impending bill and that email. I called to close my account and was informed that someone would call me back.

The process was fine. There was a little miscommunication because Cord Blood Registry did not provide us with clear directions, but everything was sorted out. It was a great experience.

The customer service has been fine and I would encourage my family and friends to try Cord Blood Registry as well. But I wish their pricing was lower.

That was 17 years ago. I was pregnant, and I researched and came across them. It definitely wasn't a conversation. It was personal research. After reading, I thought it might be a good idea in the event of medical breakthroughs or scientific discoveries. If my child were born with any issues or developed any later in life, perhaps there would be some help he could receive from the Cord Blood. You never know.

We decided to bank our baby’s cord blood as a precautionary thing in case there was an issue in the future. I think the kit was sent through the hospital. Everything went smooth and as expected. We’ve had no issues.

I did the cord banking more than 17 years ago in case any of my children were going to have future issues that possibly the cord blood could save them. The process and communication I got were both great, and signup was easy. All reps have been wonderful. They banked eight times more than they needed when they got the cord blood from my last baby. The only thing that I would change is that if you need it, you have to pull out all of it. And I do not think that they should have to pull out all of it. They should only have to pull out what one possibly would need. They could change that.

If anything ever happened to one of my kids, as technology progresses, if there's a way that certain diseases could be cured by cord blood, I would have that and stored for them in the future, if that was ever beneficial to them. I looked at it like an insurance policy. The cord blood specialist is always somebody different, but my interactions with them have been great. I pay my dues every year, and they store it and all good.

My experience with Cord Blood has been easy. I got them just in case for the future and they were the only one out there at the time. They sent the kit directly to the hospital.

I decided to do cord blood banking with CBR just in case, because you'll never know what may happen and what is needed. Everything went smoothly.

I found out about Cord Blood Registry through the hospital. They sent the kit directly to the hospital. It's a really good experience and I'm happy with the service. However, it failed the sterilization test, so I had to back it out.

Cord Blood Registry was recommended by my wife’s OB. I set up the service over the phone, and the sample collection kit was already at the hospital, so it was very easy. My interactions with customer service were all positive. I’m pretty comfortable recommending CBR to friends and family.

A little bit over five years ago, when I was pregnant, my OB-GYN presented it. And then my husband and I decided it was like an insurance policy in a way for the baby. So, that’s why we chose to do it. We’d rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

We did the cord blood 17 years ago and all I remember is they took the cells from the cord, and the next thing we know, we got a certificate that said we had a good collection. I didn’t have a lot of interactions with them, but they answered my questions, and they were always pleasant.

I liked what Cord Blood Registry was offering for stem cells. If my child ever gets sick, they can use the stem cells. I am satisfied with my experience with them.

I was referred to CBR by a friend who is one of their customers. I decided to go with them because I was thinking that with the medical technology and where it's going today, my daughter might need stem cells and blood cord in the future. The kit was sent directly to the hospital. They took care of it and I didn't have to do anything other than sign up and pay. The overall experience with CBR has been great.

I learned about Cord Blood from the doctor's office. That was 21 years ago. I just thought that if I didn't do it and something happened, I would probably always regret it.

I learned about Cord Blood Registry when I was pregnant at my OBGYN’s office. I donated my son’s cord blood, and I banked my daughter’s because my mom had cancer while I was pregnant. She’s fine now, but I didn’t know she had a type of leukemia or whether Lily’s stem cells could help her, so I decided to bank them instead of donating.

The first time that I got pregnant, I didn’t know about cord blood registry. Then the second time, I found out about it in one of those pregnancy blogs. I started thinking if I were to need it just in case, I would do it.

The process was easy. They came to the hospital and everything went well. My other daughter died of leukemia, and I banked all of their blood not realizing you can't give your own child's blood back to them if they have leukemia because the risk of leukemia repeats itself. But I continued to store the blood anyways in case someone else could use it because we're on the leukemia registry. But even then, I don't think they could use it because of the history of leukemia. So, I honestly don't know what we can do with it. If anything, we might use it for diabetes.

My children are 21 and 24, and Cord Blood was the first and only at the time to offer the service that I was aware of. It was my mother-in-law who found them.

I have good things to say about Cord Blood Registry. Well, it's just a big, reputable company, so I figured they were trustworthy. I got it just in case we have an emergency one day and need the cord blood.

I've had no issues with Cord Blood Registry. I've had discussions with them over 20 years that we've had our daughter's cord blood frozen. This past year, there was a glitch in the system where they didn't charge my credit card because there was a new accounting system that was adopted within CBR. So they gave me a year's worth of free storage. Other than that, I just pay the annual fees. I don't really talk to them unless I notice something that didn't go through with a credit card on an annual basis. But overall, it's a great experience.

A friend referred me to Cord Blood. I was interested because if there comes a moment when any of my kids is in need of special treatment, then using the thing from my daughter could help us a lot. The experience with Cord Blood was and has always been great. It was very easy to do the process at the time. The communication with them has always been good. The payment is once a year. Sometimes, I experienced financial hardships and they always helped and waited for my payments.

We chose Cord Blood Registry based on a recommendation from our doctor. We banked our baby’s cord blood almost 15 years ago, and the process went smoothly. I don’t have any complaints about the experience. Overall, I am satisfied with their service and would recommend them.

I was diagnosed with cancer when I was about five months pregnant, and my healthcare provider told me about the Cord Blood program for banking cord blood for my child if I’m diagnosed with cancer during pregnancy. I had a positive experience with the customer service and they met my expectations.

CBR was recommended by my doctor 13 years ago. With my first child, we donated. With my second child, we banked. Both were recommended by my OB and it was easy. We just pay annually. Luckily, we haven't had a health instance where we needed to use it. I do look at the emails and keep up to date on some of the research and what cord blood is being used for. I hear great things about stem cells. We've saved it if anyone in our family would need it. It is a little pricey, but it is like an insurance policy. There will come a point that if the price increases too much, we may stop paying.

I had a medical condition so I figured it would be a good idea to store the kids’ stem cells in the event they ever need them. I used Cord Blood Registry and had always had a pretty pleasant experience with them. Everything has been pretty good. They offered three years of payment if I refer somebody to them.

We chose Cord Blood Registry 18 years ago. At the time, they were well-known for doing this. Knowing what I know now, I would have gone with a public place to store my baby’s blood, which is really the better option.

14 years ago, we went with Cord Blood Registry. It was recommended to us when we were planning for the future and trying to protect our baby.

My doctor told me about Cold Blood Registry, and it's been great. It’s pretty straightforward. They did the process at the hospital, and we just have the cord stored there.

I had read about CBR in a parenting magazine after my second child. I did some research and I spoke to a friend who works for a pharmaceutical company. She explained what she knew about stem cells. She gave me all of the scenarios where the cord blood could be used for the different types of illnesses, the fact that it could help siblings, parents with very specific diseases and things that may arise down the road, and just the benefits of the process. It fueled my interest from there.

We decided to do CBR just in case there was any kind of birth defect with our kids. The guidance was good and they’re always responsive. They answered and questions. Everything went as planned and I didn’t really have to think about the pickup on delivery day so I was happy about it. The cost is good as well. I would recommend them.

The father of my child had had leukemia. That was the reason why we chose to save cord blood. The process was super easy with Cord Blood Registry. We paid ahead of time, and people came and collected the kit. My only issue is they didn’t have a list of doctors who currently use it in the United States. It would have been really helpful if there was a database that I could access with names or numbers. I had to do the research on my own and found only one doctor who used cord blood in the entire country.

In my wife’s family, her sister has Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. Their joints are a little bit off, and they’ve had a lot of physical problems throughout their lives. When the opportunity to bank the babies’ stem cells came up, we saw it as a way to possibly address any problems down the pike that she had seen in her family.

Using Cord Blood Registry seemed to be a very scientifically intelligent thing to do. Their customer service is excellent. They're well-informed, polite and always answer the phone. They're fantastic and are all very knowledgeable no matter who I speak with.

It's a blessing we have not had to tap into it, but when I've had to call over the years, they've always been extremely helpful. Knock on wood, we never need to use it, but it's been peace of mind to know it's there. We lived in Atlanta when we had our son. It was back in 2009, and at that time cord blood banking was starting to become more common. Cord Blood Registry must have been in my obstetrician's office to market the program, so they made the recommendation. There was a lot of conversation in the obstetrician's office and then a good bit on the paperwork that explained it, and Cord Blood answered a lot of our questions regarding it at the time. When our son was born, they came to the hospital, and we didn't have to do anything. They took what they needed to, and we were off and running, so it was seamless. That was a long time ago and it's good to know it's still popular years after. I had some girlfriends who were pregnant at the same time or had their baby a year before, and I was able to talk with them about it.

I believe the samples are in Tucson, which is why I chose Cord Blood Registry. The location has the least disasters and power outages so everything will stay frozen. Otherwise, the samples can get ruined if they’re in an area of high disaster. I have friends that went with different companies because they’re cheaper. But I explained to them that they’re saving them in an area that hurricane or tornado can come through or tornado can come through. Then what? You’ve just spent all this money and everything’s gone.

We worked with Cord Blood eight years ago. They sent us the kit and after the baby was born, they took the samples. I then made a phone call and a gentleman came up to the nurse's desk and took the kit. I barely remember anything else since it was a loing time ago. I know we recently called them because we hadn't received our invoice for the year, but the representative helped me sort that out. I would recommend others to do research about Cord Blood when considering their child's future.

We decided to bank our baby’s newborn stem cells for insurance policy just in case they were ever needed. I did some first-level research online and asked people, and Cord Blood Registry came to the top of the list. Everything went smooth and everyone did their job, cause sometimes, things don’t go smoothly and people don’t know what they’re talking about.

We used a donor egg and Cord Blood Registry came with that package. The process was easy. They gave us our packet, we called them and gave the packet to the doctor, and the doctor knew what to do, so it's pretty easy.

Blood Cord Registry costs a little bit of money but it's worth doing with the peace of mind that it could possibly save a life one day. I had a good relationship with my OBGYN, and he brought it to my attention ‘cause it was something that he thought would be great for the future and kind of a new thing and to look into it, that it could possibly save a family member's life. That was my deciding factor and so, I did it. I got the kit on the doorstep on Sunday, and went into labor on Monday, so we took the kit to the hospital, and we hadn't filled out the paperwork, so our OB and the nurses helped to get it filled out 'cause I went into emergency surgery. So, it was a seamless process just because they all helped with it.

Banking my baby’s stem cells through CBR is like an insurance policy for me. I hope that I never need them, but if my son ever happened to need them, either due to cancer or a wreck, they would be there for him.

I decided to do that because my understanding is that those stem cells are only available at birth and that future research might be useful to regrowing other life-saving treatments. I liked that Cord Blood Registry is a big and reputable company and we locked in the price that I was told, so it will never increase. I didn't want it being held hostage for whatever reason later on in life. We started a long time ago and it was a good experience. They explained there's gonna be a courier that's gonna immediately, come to the hospital, that they're one of the major providers of that service, they're gonna take care of everything, I'm gonna get a deposit certificate, that everything was stored correctly, and that's what I did. It was a good interaction. They were courteous, friendly, and I don't have any complaints.

My doctor recommended Cord Blood at the time when I was going to deliver my baby. It was very quick, very nice, very smooth.

I have a good experience with Cord Blood. My brother has an account with them. He mentioned it to me, and then my daughter got sick with cancer. Ever since then, my fiancé and I have been doing research on stuff like that. So we just decided to get the blood cord from both our babies. I've gotten two kits. I receive them in the mail. After I had the children, the kits were shipped off to Cord Blood to be stored.

I know that there's a lot of good science behind stem cells, so I think it's better to have it than not have it. My dad thought it'd be a good idea, so when I had my daughter, my dad did it for us and Cord Blood Registry was the one that was offered in the hospital. Everything was done at the hospital, and my dad did all that, but as far as I know, it was good.

I was interested in cord blood banking and did some research about it. I reached out to a specialist from CBR and then decided to go ahead with it. They’re pretty prompt and responsive. It went through smoothly. I have no complaints there.

I have two cord blood storages with CBR; my son and daughter, going on 27 years. I recently learned that it takes an act of God to get a withdrawal for my own stem cells! I called and asked for a copy of my contract - "it takes 10-14 biz days and has to be mailed". I told Alejandra that I wanted to make a cord blood withdrawal for medical purposes and was told that it would take at least 4 weeks for a clinical technician to call me back. She tried to ask me personal medical questions and started interrogating me to see why and how I wanted to use them, which is none of her business. These are MY stem cells and I have a personal medical reason that I need them. 4 weeks just to get a phone call? I started hearing bad things about CBR, I never had reason to doubt them, but I am on high alert now and don't have much good to say at the moment.

We have three children who are grown now, but we collected, banked, and paid years for this service. We were so dumb and naive to do so. Looking back, Cord Blood capitalized on our fears as parents and exaggerated promises that treatments/cures would be available in most situations. The reality is, it just is not so, and this science has a long way yet to go to successfully treat many known genetic diseases. And keep in mind, you can't use your child's own cord blood for a genetic disease that child may inherit because cord blood contains the same genetic DNA that caused the disease.

When I was pregnant with my first son 20 years ago, I just picked up a pamphlet in my OB's office, and then I saw it again at my pediatrician, so that made me think. My kid came six weeks early so I couldn't plan for that. But the second kid, we were very much planned for. We weren't able to do it with our first one, so we had to do it with our second child. If either one of them got a disease of some sort, it would be beneficial in saving their life.

I'm a family physician and my husband and I decided that if we could possibly do anything, especially in regards to helping during a pediatric cancer type event for our kids, then we wanted to be as prepared as possible. Cord Blood Registry answered all my questions. The communication, all around, was good. I did it for both kids and the process went smoothly. It is expensive, but it’s like an insurance policy. You pay for something you may not need, and hopefully, you don't need it. But it was worth it to us.

We banked the cord blood of both of our children, who are now 11 and 9 years old. So, at first, we did it for our son, who was born in 2013, because the obstetrician offered us the opportunity, while our son was being born, to collect cord blood for him. And the OB-GYN explained the possible benefits of conserving cord blood, and we elected to do so.

When we first got pregnant, someone had mentioned Cord Blood Registry. It was a completely foreign concept and we had no idea what to expect. This was 25 years ago and it was easy as can be. They sent the kit and we brought the kit with us to the hospital. I had a C-section. The doctors did the collection and they sent it. We got notified that it was sent. There is an insurance policy every year and we pay the fee. The website is very easy to understand. I'm 56 years old and computer savvy. Even for the most non-computer savvy person, it's not hard to navigate at all. It's very self-explanatory.

You never know what advances in medicine will come about in the next 10, 20, 30 years when my children get older. So I figured using Cord Blood Registry was something that can grow in value possibly for later.

When my OB suggested Cord Blood Registry, I looked into it, and my husband felt like it would be a good idea. So we decided to bank our baby’s cord blood.

Everybody from Cord Blood Registry was really nice. The guy I spoke to explained everything really well. It was a totally new process for me, and they made me feel at ease, and everything was going to be taken care of. If I had any questions, they explained everything thoroughly.

I heard about Cord Blood Registry through a referral, and I chose them because they were nice, efficient, and responsive. The signing up process was easy, and everything met my expectations.

I was at ease with the process because it’s just a little hectic with a little one at home. It was good. I would highly recommend it because you'll never know. This is just an insurance policy for the future. For us, it was well worth it. When I called Cord Blood Registry last time to confirm my files, everybody was very receptive and I saw that everything was in order on the website as well.

Going with CBR is a hedge against potential illness in the future. As scientific advancement goes in healthcare over time, there is higher probability of alleviating even lesser issues with stem cell and cord blood. After a lot of research, it looked like CBR was the market leader, and if we're going to save this stuff for 20 years or in perpetuity, it's better to go with the market leader. We committed in the 2nd trimester and the kit arrived in the 3rd trimester. We were required to take it to the hospital, advise them that we were saving the cord blood, let them know the process, and give them the documentation. Within a few hours CBR was called, a courier arrived to pick up the package.

We wanted to bank our baby's cord blood in case any illness came up in the future for any of our children or in the family. At the time, it was cutting edge and the newest thing. When we did our research, we felt like CBR was reputable. The reps were also well-informed, gave us good information and helped us get the collection kit and information. We've been happy with the service thus far. We thought, at one point, we were gonna have to use the cells, but we haven't. I have recommended CBR over the years.

My wife and I thought it was a good idea to store the cord blood for future breakthroughs in the medical field that might benefit from it. We signed up with Cord Blood Registry and things went successfully with them.

I’m very pleased with my experience with this company. Not only is the CBR service of high quality, but their customer service truly stands out. After reaching out to them with a question, I was met with prompt and professional assistance.

It's been good with Cord Blood Registry. I decided to do it to have it all paid until my son's 18. Before you give birth, they give you a little meeting where they explain to you what's gonna happen. The day the baby is born, the doctor collects it that same day. When my son turned 18, we talked to a couple of different people who have been very nice. When I did it the first time, it was expensive, but part of it was I paid it all together. But I'm happy with the rate I have now because though it's not cheap, I'm still holding a better rate than the new parents. My rate is grandfathered. They also offer something where if a friend signs up, you get a discount for the year.

I heard about the Cord Blood Registry through my gynecologist and it was her recommendation. I like the security that it brings but one con is the cost. But it's part of the deal.

It was very easy setting up with CBR. The only difficult part was having a baby brain and forgetting my kit. But the hospital had some spare that I could use. I would be very confident in recommending it. I know some moms who wanna do it, but financially, it's it's not something that they can do because it's pricey.

They have been very consistent in staying in touch with us with changing development.

My experience with CBR was good. One of my kids is a preemie and we got the kit within two days. They were able to get it to me fast.

The service was good. We got on time and proper responses.

We ordered the kit and it was really pretty simple because we were up there in Mesa and the processing center is in Tucson. It was late at night when we called and they had a courier and it's $100 to get him to drive down to Tucson. But we had the sample driven down to Tucson that very same day. Since then, I've recommended Cord Blood. My father-in-law was diagnosed with leukemia and we told the doctor about Cord Blood. So he contacted them but unfortunately, he wasn't a match. But nonetheless, we had it.

Cord Blood Registry had been advertised at my OB-GYN's office. When I looked them up, they had good reviews and they felt very legitimate. Everything in their process was very clear and their rates were also clear to understand. No hidden fees. They were concise about what they were going to be doing with the cord blood, and how they were gonna store it.

I was looking for something for when my son was first born and I decided to use Cord Blood Registry. They've been great, so far and their service is easy to use. It's all automated monthly deposits, so it's worth having as an insurance policy.

Signing up with CBR was simple and easy. My experience with their reps met my expectations.

I was almost 40 and I was expecting my first and only child. So, Cord Blood Registry's service seemed like a good idea. They explained the pros and cons extensively, but it was over 18 years ago. We researched it with my husband. My recent encounter with them was simply when my daughter turned 18. We had a plan for storage up to her 18th birthday and we just extended it for life. Overall, I'm satisfied.

I decided to store my baby’s stem cells in case there are any medical issues or serious injuries in the family in the future. It has been proven that any stem cell coming from a family member may be more compatible and helpful for future prevention or treatment. Friends have used Cord Blood Registry before so it was a referral but when I did the research, it was one of the better ones that was coming up. I signed up online and it was very easy. It was very last minute and it worked out great. The reps were very helpful and I received my kit very quickly and smoothly. I recommended CBR to a few of my friends and everybody had a pleasant experience. I love it. The customer service is great and I've never had an issue with them.

I talked with someone that helped me a lot with some questions. Science is growing day by day and you never know when the cells can be helpful for some disease. I made the decision to work with CBR and so far, everything has worked very well. The price per year is the most expensive though.

I'm a nurse and the physicians I was working with recommended Cord Blood Registry. I did it for my grandkids. Cord Blood did offer that if you referred somebody to them, you'd get a nominal discount, but it was nothing unethical. Initially, what Cord Blood does is they tell you what to expect thoroughly because it's pretty much a time thing. The baby comes, and they would have the practitioner draw the stem cells. In my case, I also did tissue saving. So, they did a little tissue specimen.

We would love for CBR to keep their customers updated on science and technology and what's happening in the field of stem cells. My interactions with them have been good. I just make a payment and move on. I would have paid for lifetime if it was a little less expensive.

We knew that we wanted to bank our cord blood because we have a history of childhood cancer. I went with Cord Blood Registry. I just went, "Oh, they're pretty reputable. Let's just do it." I have a lot of kids. I tried for several kids to bank. We could not afford it on my first. My second was born in the car and by the time that we got medical help, her cord blood wasn't any cord anymore. It had been given back to her. So, she had all her own blood. We couldn't do a quick clamp on the cord. My third was accidentally born in the bathtub. The doctor freaked out and said that it wasn't sterile, so he wouldn't bank the blood for us, which was all wrong information. We just kept trying. The fourth time was the charm. We banked her blood, her cord blood and tissue.

I have an older child and when I had her, I asked about storing cord blood stem cells, but the doctor said there wasn't enough scientific evidence it was good. However, for my younger daughter, he said it's definitely the way to go and he did it for his kid. Cord Blood Registry was recommended by my obstetrician, and it's been a very great experience. I set up the service 19 years ago, and they're the same now as they were then. They are always amazingly polite, respectful, informative, friendly and efficient. They seem to know what they're talking about too.

I could recommend Cord Blood Registry. I called them two years ago and it was okay. I have the option to have my child's cord blood stored just in case.

Our physician recommended CBR, and I felt it was the right thing to do at the time. They had good reviews as well. Everything was smooth when I signed up and when they picked up the kit at the hospital. Then they called me to confirm everything. Everything has been great with CBR.

In my experience with Cord Blood Registry, everything was very streamlined as far as having to do it from the hospital after birth. I contacted them one time for a billing issue and it went well.

I highly disliked and DO NOT recommend utilizing or even initiating to work with Cord Blood Registry (CBR) for many reasons. Once they get your information, their marketing tactics are absolutely relentless with endless calls and emails; their team does not seem to be cohesive, when you provide info to one rep or ask them to stop calling, another steps up to take their place. We signed up via a promotion at a pregnancy expo in which we were told signing up locks in the special and no payment or cost till sample is received and no cost if you choose not to use the service; seemed like a no brainer to sign up.

20 years ago, banking newborn stem cells was all the rage. We did it and we haven't needed to use it, but we don't wanna get rid of it so we keep paying for it. I wish Cord Blood Registry would quit raising the rates every year for a service that we don't use. It's just something in a freezer. However, that's the economy, so I'm sure it's going to continue to do so.

I have a cousin that has four kids and she uses Cord Blood Registry. I also have a cousin who has five kids that uses a different company. I asked them both their experiences and based off of their experiences, I went with my cousin that works with CBR. The reps were great. They were very friendly and explained everything in detail. I had no questions after because they touched upon every subject when referring from what I do, what I give to the doctor, what I take to the hospital, what I should have ready, what I expect in the mail (because I get a box for everything), and then if for any reason need to use them, how I would call them to get that started. They made me feel at ease if I was questioning anything.

Banking our baby's newborn stem cells seemed like the right thing to do, and when I called Cord Blood Registry, it went very well.

I decided to use Cord Blood Registry for the potential health items that it can help resolve and as a precautionary measure. I had a lot of questions and the reps were very friendly and explained everything to me in great detail. When the time came, they delivered the kit. My daughter was born during COVID, so everything was on lock down. We called the number and they were great to come and meet my husband to grab the package and get it going.

I did the sign up process twice and it was pretty seamless both times. Both times, my contact person was very helpful and easy to reach and good. It's pricey but it's worth it.

When I was pregnant 18 years ago, there was a sign in the gynecologist office that explained about storing your baby's blood cells, and I thought that it would be a great idea. After I gave birth, I had my husband call Cord Blood Registry and do everything. I had all the information on what to do because they gave me everything on what I needed to do the day of when I had my child. They were very helpful. I'm very satisfied. They're very good, very kind and very informative.

The initial call with CBR was pleasant and good. I like that when you refer, they give you the option to get a referral fee, so that's cool.

When my wife was pregnant, her OB-GYN told us about Cord Blood. We discussed it with the doctor, and it seemed like a good idea. Signing up was relatively quick. We brought the kit with us. After the baby was born, they did the collecting from the umbilical cord. We met with a carrier to pick up the package the next day.

I banked my child’s stem cells almost 16 years ago. He was the last baby in the family and we wanted to preserve something to help someone in the family if the occasion ever arose. At the time, I’d only heard of it through Cord Blood Registry. It wasn’t super common back then. It took CBR a long time to get back to me. However, the response was researched and very thorough. I appreciate that they took the time to do all that before responding so that I could get the best answer. It was a lot harder to use the cord blood than I thought it would ever be. It feels almost unattainable. You have to go through a lot of hoops to be able to do it but I also understand. I appreciate that they operate in an ethical manner and that their process is hard because I realized that it could be misused otherwise. CBR is very gracious. I forget to pay my yearly storage all the time and they let me do that way and never penalize me.

When I call Cord Blood Registry, my questions have never been a problem with them. With all these cancers that have been popping up, I'll save my child's cord blood to save his life.

I wanted to make sure that if my children needed cord blood, that they would have it if they had a bad disease. I went with Cord Blood Registry and everything was very professional. I've never had issues.

I deal with CBR regarding the bill every year and anyone I've ever talked to has been nice. When I did the research from the website and after reading everything, it sounded that at least we have something we might be able to work with if my daughter or her siblings got sick. At the time we did it, it was $2,500. When I try and explain to others that siblings and half-siblings are able to use it, they question if they are gonna spend a lot of money for things that may or may not happen.

My experience with CBR was really easy. They send the kit to the patient, and the patient brings it to the hospital when they're in labor. There's some paperwork that the family has to fill out, and also, the physician. It's an all-in-one kit. The doctor really does it, and they call a number and their company comes and picks up their kit. It's just pay it every year until you don't want it. However, it's pricey for most people.

My father is a physician. He really encouraged me to research storing baby's stem cells. When I researched it, I felt like there are miraculous things that our bodies do to make babies and when we're born, we can't regenerate the things that our bodies produce at that time. After some research, I felt like CBR would be the company that was around the longest and I trusted their product. Their reps have all been great. My only issue has been that I didn't think about or recognize that the prices would change every year. I thought it would be a set annual fee. But it is not. But I would definitely use them again.

Cord Blood took the thing in the hospital when the babies were born. Then I got two emails from them. Everything went well. But I will not renew this anymore because of the lack of connection. I'm very dissatisfied.

Cord Blood Registry gives an opportunity for a future miracle. I have used their service for all three of my grandchildren and recently, I wanted to make sure my payments were up to date. So I was trying to call them to make sure that I gave them my new debit card. I received bills as emails but they were supposed to send a confirmation that my bills were paid.

If I were to have another child, I would do it again with CBR. The payments are set up, and everything's been positive. If I needed help with something, they're very helpful and friendly. I've already referred people to them because it's something that's helpful if it's ever needed.

When my eight-year old daughter was born, the way technology is advancing, I thought a stem cell was a good idea. My five-year old has special needs so maybe it will come in handy down the road. Everything's been great with CBR. The simplicity is nice.

My experience with CBR has been great. Other than I highly recommend CBR, I recommend all new mothers do it. We might need it someday so we were forward thinking. They were great.

I saw an advertisement from Cord Blood Registry and when I called them and they explained the different things that could be done with it, I said okay. Plus, they were shipping the box out to me and all I had to do was call when I was in the hospital. It’s a seamless process and wasn't overly difficult. Using it was one of the best decisions for my child. I wanted to make sure that if my child was gonna be sick, it was gonna be something that can help save him. If people have the opportunity to do it, I would recommend it if they wanna have other children because they only have to do it once. It's not like they have to do it for each child individually. As long as they're siblings and they're full siblings as well, they should be able to use it from the other one.

I was 41 years old when I had my daughter and I wanted to make sure that she had everything that she needed. I decided to bank her newborn stem cells and so far, I'm happy with Cord Blood Registry. Once we did it, I just left it in there, pay every year, and I've never had any issues with them ever. The price is fair but after a certain amount of time, they should give you something free or a reduction.

My daughter's 23 now, and one of the reasons I decided to do cord blood banking is my children are mixed race. If there was a need, it's harder for them to get matches. Cord blood banking seemed like a good idea as well. I pay annually for CBR's service, but I called recently because there was a possibility of changing to lifetime billing. I ended up not doing it, but they were very nice.

CBR is the biggest and the most responsive. Any time I call, they're there and able to take care of me. Also, whenever I would go to the maternity classes for my first kid, it was one of the ones that they offered. I read the benefits and potential research that would come out of stem cell banking. I did it for my first born in case I ever needed it then it was one of those things where it made sense to store it annually. My second kid and third kid came and we did the same thing. I only gotta pay X amount to go get it delivered. I'd rather pay it now than something happened and I don't have it available.

There is so much technology out there in the medical field that may become useful in the future and banking my baby's cord blood is like an insurance policy. If it's needed, we'll have it. If not, then thank God. I decided to go with Cord Blood Registry after researching about them. The rep I talked to was informative, able to answer all questions, very pleasant, and knowledgeable. The price was very fair and the process was extremely easy.

When I was pregnant with my son, I found out really late in my pregnancy that he had something. My friend used Cord Blood Registry for her kids and she didn't have any issues with them. I liked the research they have and they seemed like a good company to go with. I got in touch with them and I decided to pick them. They've been nothing but understanding because this last year has been a little bit crazy. I was a little bit late on my fee and they were very understanding and didn't threaten to get rid of it. They were very helpful and patient with me getting to be able to catch up. I'm glad I picked them and I'm hoping in the future it will help out.

If you have any history of any diseases, autoimmune disorders, cancers in your family, Cord Blood Registry is a good insurance policy to have. The setup was easy. I called Cord Blood Registry. They sent the kit. We took it to the hospital with us, and we sent it back. Both of my children were born on holiday weekends, so we had to contact them to have a courier meet us. It has been a good experience.

In doing research, Cord Blood Registry seemed like the furthest along technologically. It was very easy working with them. They send you a box that has everything in it that would be needed right after birth then you give it to the doctor. We had a positive experience in the collection process. You hope you never need it, but you know it's there.

I did Cord Blood Registry to mitigate any future medical issues, and it's been 100% positive. If there'd be future medical issues such as different types of cancer or other issues that could be addressed with stem cells, it could be used for either my son or family members as well. It's like an extra insurance policy and I tried to convince all of my family members to do it. This is a resource that goes to waste so much and I would encourage anybody, even if you're not going to pay to bank your own, to donate it. It doesn't hurt anybody to do it and it could save lives.

Our experience with CBR was good. I would 1,000% tell others to save the cord blood. We used the cord blood and it's made a huge difference.

I chose Cord Blood Registry because they have been around for the longest and they seemed the most trustworthy. My interactions with their reps were fabulous. I got a little panicky once or twice and called them and they were very helpful. I had a great experience.

Since my daughter was born 26 years ago, I've been paying CBR every year to have her stem cells on stock. Banking your baby's stem cells is important. It might be life-saving for siblings. I try have my daughter tell her friends to do it. Even today, a lot of people still don't know about it. My doctor didn't even know about it 26 years ago. He didn't know what to do when it came time to collect the cord blood.

I'm the grandmother and my husband offered Cord Blood Registry for both of us, but the parents were very happy with it. And they still are. My husband loved the idea of the opportunity. He presented it to my daughter and our sister-in-law, and they were very happy receivers. I'm also happy with the idea of it, but we still don't have what we were supposed to get. Paperwork. The child just turned nine years old. But using Cord Blood Registry was considered the best at the time for cases that were hard cases of pregnancy. And my daughter had a wonderful doctor.

My kids' dad has genetic issues so I was worried my kids may have them too. I used Cord Blood Registry to bank their stem cells and signing up was easy. CBR is great but I wish it was cheaper. I'm kicking myself for not doing lifetime storage when they were born.
