Americord Reviews

I received the package a few weeks before the actual delivery date. We delivered at 12:00. I had a bad experience with them. The service was not there till morning. The hospital people were not allowing me to put that basket with all those three different things in the room. I shipped it to my friend nearby. He came and left it in the morning so that their person would pick it up. Their pickup should be a bit flexible.

Americord is very responsive. I like it when I call and a human picks up the phone and answers most of the questions. The rep I worked with was very helpful. The only thing is, I have a little problem when I call for pick up. The representative who picks up the phone has a heavy accent at the time. So it takes a little bit. It's a little difficult for me to understand. I have to talk very loud in the patient room. Other than that, it's okay.

Americord has collected the cord on time when I was in the hospital. It was smooth. They always respond very on time. I enjoy their service. You should give it a try because just in case in the future you need to use it, you won't feel regret for doing it.

Everybody was really nice. They had great customer service. My husband did all the research on the different banks that were available. But Americord stood out because they were able to capture a higher percentage of the pluripotent stem cells.

Americord was running a promotion during the time that I was having a baby and they did one extra type of storage that other companies didn't do. They were super helpful, even the day that I was having the baby. There were some miscommunications. It was a weird process and the courier didn't know what was happening. He was asking us for shipping labels and my husband had to call Americord and iron it out during that time. The courier was supposed to have been the one taking care of that stuff.

I called them and they were easy to work with. The person that I spoke with told me he would overnight the kit to me. It put me at ease. Then everything came in and the kit was pretty simple to use. They contacted me and let me know that they received the kit. Their customer service has been good. Every interaction I've had has been good. They call me back pretty fast.

The customer service was really nice. Customer service makes a difference when you feel comfortable talking or you feel secure, given something as big as your baby's cord. For me, that was a lot. The follow-up was amazing. When I called and let them know that I delivered the baby, they got there in less than an hour. Every time that I call and I have any questions, they're really, really nice. They explain everything to me. The person who initially got me into Americord was amazing.

We had some small changes during the actual collection sample and it was a very seamless process, so was the pick-up. The person that came and picked it up was all very easy, which was great because we were really stressed and new baby at the time. We weren't sure if he was gonna have to come into the hospital or not because of COVID. One thing to worry about is having to find him. But he was waiting right outside of our door for us just to drop it off. Americord has met our expectations so far. Our baby's cord blood has been banked and that's all we were looking for.

The service has been good and they gave us good information. We think it's a good opportunity for our child’s health in the future or for us if anything comes up.

Americord seemed like a good fit when we compared prices and options. They were good about following up. Preserving the baby's cord blood is valuable if you have an instance where you have to use it and you're able to.

I did Americord for my elder son and I thought it would be better if I use the same bank for my second child as well. This is in consideration of future advancements and this might also help my children. Americord gave me what I needed. I got the package on time and they took the blood on time. They stored it and did all the necessary things that I expected. They did a count on the number of cells that they were able to store.

We compared a couple of banks and Americord stands out more price-wise. Also, we wanted to do a placenta preserve and they were the only company doing that. The rep was really helpful, knowledgeable and understanding. He was informative and he answered all our questions. If something in the future happens, this could be a way to get our baby better health-wise.

This was the third time I worked with Americord. Everything was good. The rep contacted me prior to the due date. Everything was clear. Then, on the day of the due date, we called them and they helped us right away. Not only that, but we were missing the doctor’s signature, and they told us not to worry about it, that they were going to get it. The courier got there even before the time that they have set.

The rep was knowledgeable and he answered my questions. He was forthcoming with information. Working with him was a good experience. So far, everything's good. We're satisfied with our experience with Americord. They did a good job.

Americord had an easy process and everything was explained so that was good. The experience was very straightforward and didn't take a lot of preparation on our part other than letting the doctors know when we were giving birth that we were doing it. We didn't have to do much on the front end for preparation so that was nice. I had a C-section so afterwards I was a little out of it. My husband had to take the kit out to the courier because of COVID but it seemed to go smoothly.

I like Americord's programming a little bit better. It was hard to understand which one would be better but Americord was more active in trying to communicate with me about any questions I had. They were kind and always tried to make sure that they answered any of my questions as best as they could. They kept in contact with me ­if I had any questions. They were quick to email me or call back. We haven't had to use any of it but Americord was great at getting our box to us and helping us through it. They came and picked up our box at a timely fashion as well and told us that all the samples that we got were good. We're hoping we never have to use it but I'm glad that they have good communication in case we do.

We used Americord for insurance. I called them then the courier driver picked up the kit and left. We hope we don’t have to ever use it.

The person I spoke with was very nice and really outgoing. She was helping me with pretty much everything. I'm completely satisfied so far. I'm just still waiting to receive the $100 gift card for my friend that gave me the referral.

For a while, I was a little bit confused about between going with Americord and another company. I was pretty much sure about the technical aspects of Americord and I was convinced much before I approached them. Then, I called this other company who was offering much better services and all. But I called some of the technical experts of Americord and the way they explained, I thought they were better and they gave me a price-matching option.

The experience was good. I called for the cord to be picked up and somebody came in the hospital in an hour or so. It's a great service.

The Americord rep I spoke with was very efficient. He was great, answered all my questions and gave me all the information. The courier was good and very polite. It was a little confusing for him because he had come to the hospital and they were supposed to get it the night before but no one did. But it was quick.

Americord met our expectation and it helped us a lot in regards to like financial and they're always calling to update us to make sure that we don't have any questions. We really appreciate all that. Overall, it was an awesome experience.

The first time we used Americord four and a half years ago, everything was great. The second time around, three months ago, it took us a while to get ahold of somebody to pick up the cord. They kept telling us to not worry and that we have a certain amount of hours. But we don't want to be the last straw. We had to keep calling and we called five times to speak to a supervisor. It was stressful but it made it to the storage safely, which is all that matters. Also, the supervisor we worked with, Steven, was good. I was asked for my cell phone number and was told they'd text us when somebody is on their way and give us an ETA. It ended up working.

Americord was prompt in response and it seems to be a decent company and has a good history. We liked the idea of cord blood banking and the price options were reasonable, so we went with that. We can use that cord blood for critical medical situation. Americord is a great place to store your kid's cord blood and placenta, and the customer experience is pretty good too.

We googled the blood cord thing and we liked Americord. They gave us the best deal, price-wise. Our cord blood reps were thorough and reliable.

My experience with the rep of Americord was good.

Americord was a better value than the other companies and it was rated well. I chose to go with them and they were extremely knowledgeable and very patient in explaining everything to me. The courier had a little bit of trouble finding the hospital room we were in but he made it. He was very friendly and efficient. Americord has been very helpful. It's cute that they reach out on birthdays. They send holiday cards too. They'll check in from time to time about any questions I might have. Their website is really easy to navigate and I would definitely recommend them to anybody who is interested in doing cord blood banking.

We had a couple of cousins who had a baby last year and they chose Americord as well. We liked the price.

Cynthia, the Americord rep whom I worked with gave me all my options. She was wonderful and spent a lot of time going over numbers with me. The service is very valuable and it's nice to know that it's there. Everything is pretty seamless with the service.

We were researching cord blood. That's something we want to do with our first child. You don't know what hospital bills are coming in and you want to make sure that you have that liquid just in case. We looked at a few different companies and we didn't get very good customer service with some of them. Americord offered three different ways to store, that was different than some of the others, so we ended up going with them. We got a “Black Friday” deal because we ordered in November. They also offered us a really good payment plan because not everybody had $8,000 to just drop. We paid it off early after two and a half months.

Even with our second time using Americord, they were very reasonable and fair in pricing. They knew we used them before. Everything was straightforward with the rep and it was painless with the one who picked up the kit. It was smooth.

I had a better price with Americord compared to the other companies. But when the reps were scheduled to come to the hospital to pick up the tissues, they couldn't find us in the system. My husband got on the phone with them right as I was trying to give birth. They were eventually able to locate me us in the system, but it took forever. My husband was on the phone for 20 minutes. They should make that situation about calling me up to locate us in the system faster.

They were very good and helping. The boxes came in the time so I could bring it with me in the hospital.

The people were friendly. They gave us all the details that we needed and did not push us to sign up. Then the shipment for the kit was pretty timely. The courier picked it up from the hospital. They came on the same day that we called them. We researched that these things are still experimental right now, but there is good evidence that both the cord blood and the cord tissue can become useful for things like diseases that are rising now in people. It’s like a one-time thing. Also, with prevalent diseases that people are having like cancer and stuff, the cord tissue or the stem cells from the cord tissue can be used for the parents as well. If they have siblings, it can come useful to either of them. We don’t want to have to use it, but if needed, it is there.

Americord was cheaper than the other options and the process was straightforward. I just had to give the box to the doctor and everything was taken care from there. I just had to call and they picked up the packet. They keep doing several follow-ups and one best things was I received a call two weeks ago which I did not expect. It was helpful because on the day the baby was born, we named him differently. After three days, we decided to change the name. When the rep mentioned the name, I told him the name was changed so they sent me the new certificate.

Choose Americord for cord blood banking. The process was pretty easy and direct, I felt good with my decision until I got a call saying they did not receive enough blood to save cells. Confused I contacted my delivering dr. And she said that was not possible that they do this all the time for people and have never had a problem. I call Americord back asking for more detail and representative could not even tell me how much was needed to be able to use it just that I did not have enough. I trust my dr. More than a rep who can’t even tell me exact details of how much they needed and how much was missing from my blood sent in. The company I choose ended up being able to save any cells for me. My family is very upset and question if we used another company if we could have our cells used. We lost an opportunity to possibly use it for a future family illness.

I tried to do research and going with Safe Step was a last-minute decision. The rep kept calling and I kept telling him I didn't want to do bank my baby's cord blood. But in the end, he convinced me to get it with him. He explained to me that some of it in the tissue might be used not only for the baby and the sibling, but parents and potentially, the grandparents. So when I realized the potential spectrum of the people that might be able to use it, then the likelihood of that actually being helpful and a useful investment became greater as opposed to wondering whether the baby would need it or not. The rep also said he was able to make it work and he did.

The setup was easy and the rep who helped through did a great job. We made this decision for our first child and then three years later when we were about to have our second child, I was able to reach out with a single email. She still had my phone number. She was very attentive to the timeline of having the baby and somewhat of the ambiguous nature of ones that may actually occur. On our second go around, we neglected to do it in advance. But she was able to help us get it completed expeditiously and in place within a few weeks so that we were prepared for our second child. They remembered who we were, paid enough attention, and at least took some note that even after so much time had passed, we were still working with the same agent and customer service representatives. I thought that was all the attention to detail I like to see.

Some of our friends have already used Americord and they were happy with them. We went with them too and the rep was good. The one who picked up the kit was quick.

Americord’s pricing was better and they offered good payment plans. They also have different tissue options. The rep explained everything for us well so we knew all of our options and he set everything up for us. Americord has been great. We know that we have it if we ever need it. So, we like it. It is like an insurance policy in case we need it for our baby. It was a no-brainer for me. We’ve had a great experience so I would not change anything with it.

A friend of mine told me about Americord. It was a backup just in case something went wrong. Price-wise, it wasn't bad.

I like that Americord was one of the only ones that bank the placenta. They met our expectations. They were great, helpful and very responsive. If I had any questions, they kept following up, both before I had the baby and after. They called me right away to let me know the results. They were also sending correspondence. They were very professional and we’re definitely happy with them.

Steven, the blood cord specialist we worked with, was good and he explained everything about what we have.

It went really well with Americord. They were the one that kept popping up in terms of Google searches for companies that have been used. With something like cord blood banking, there's not a ton of people that has been doing it yet because of the cost so there wasn't a ton of feedback on it but what I did see was really positive. Plus, they had the additional option of placental tissue being collected and stored as well. The rep was incredibly communicative, knowledgeable, kind, and really customer service-oriented. He was very hands-on with the whole thing. If I needed anything, I could call and I knew that I was gonna be able to talk to him and have my questions answered.

We used Americord before for my first son so we went with them this last time. They got their sample and that was it. Hopefully, I won't need them for anything. But it's good to have. The only thing that is a little bit frustrating is that when I had one child, they'd call and check in on me and it wasn't too much. But now that I have two kids, they've called rather frequently. It's almost a little bit of a disturbance to be caring for two kids and have them keep calling just to check on me, which is nice, but not really needed if I've not really needed the blood to be used for anything. One call is enough. Even beforehand, they were calling and asking me if I had any questions but I didn't need that much attention. That was the more irritating thing about the service, but everything else has been fine.

We did cord blood banking with Americord and the process was easy (filling everything out and having the courier come and pick everything up). Doing it is in the best interest of your child and their health moving forward. Hopefully it's something we never have to use, but it's great to have just in case.

I used Americord because of the price and the customer service experience. The reps were good.

My older daughter is banked with Cryo-Cell. They were very unprofessional when her dad went in there trying to retrieve the specimen without my permission. I lost trust in them and I saw Americord was more reliable and very professional. Because of COVID, the hospital wouldn't let the courier in to pick up the specimen. We were a bit stuck. We sent the courier out to one of the delivery ports that the trucks come up to at the hospital. We weren't allowed out the maternity ward. Otherwise, they wouldn't let my husband back in. It was lucky that I knew some nurses and we opened the door to the maternity ward, handed it across the line to the nurse and my friend, the nurse, had to go and deliver it to the courier.

I did Americord’s cord banking with my 3-year old first in 2017. We wanted to make sure we do something to the tune of continuity of care and we've seen a few good ratings online. Percentages-wise, it looks like there was some stability in how the samples were kept viable for later use even though most people don't need them, thankfully. That was one thing why we went with Americord. The price was another factor. Their pricing was more competitive than some of the others for this time period. I didn't like the thought of having to also keep paying for banking forever at such a high rate and getting a smaller discount for being a returning customer was one of the reasons that I stayed with Americord as well.

I was doing a few research and Americord was the one that I liked the most. They gave me a good option price. The customer service was good too. With my first daughter, I picked them. This time, I decided on it a few days before my baby was born. They helped me with everything and sent everything fast. I did it as a precaution. I hope that I’m never gonna have to use it. Everything was great.

Americord was great as soon as we decided that we wanna process the application. It was very quick and easy. Their rep was really clear about all the process, rates, and all of their packages. He answered all our questions and he was very nice, polite and really helpful.

I wanted to do cord blood banking as a backup plan for my child and Americord was the only one that offered all three ways to preserve cord blood. Their reps have all been really helpful. They were really amazing when they picked up the kit and everything went great.

I’m a hematologist and I do some stem cell research myself. Even though there really isn’t a lot of use for these stem cells now, I’m very optimistic that there might be in the next several decades. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity to bank these stem cells so I decided to do it. We did the cord blood banking and we also did the cord tissue. Americord had the soonest availability. I called a day or two before I was due and they were able to set things up for me and they sent me the kit that was needed to bring to the hospital with me on my delivery day.

There was a rep who attended to me when I first called asking questions and he was great through the overall process. Then, I had to get back with my husband and the rep followed up. It was really nice to get that customer service.

Americord had a good deal at the time that I was looking online. The customer service was so friendly when I talked to them. They were helpful and they guided us. My husband dealt with the courier who came and said everything was good. We didn’t have any problems.

My OB-GYN gave me some information about cord banking and we look up on the internet. My husband and I were amazed about the huge benefits about it. At first, we were kinda hesitant to get one for our daughter because we were both unemployed. But the good thing about it is that Americord had payment plans for us. So it worked out. They were very accommodating and very friendly. They made sure that if I have questions, it's being answered. My husband took care of the kit and he said that everything was very, very easy and accessible. So everything went smooth. The staff and the people who are actually working towards everything for us to benefit from it were all amazing. It gives us a relief and that we’ve secured the health of our daughter in the future. I love it. I'm very proud and happy that we know that she's gonna be okay.

I used Americord when I gave birth to my last kid and. I have two older ones. I did not do any cord blood banking with them because they're seven and five, and at that time, I wasn't really familiar with cord blood banking. My best friend's daughter died. She had sickle cell, and we did talk about the fact that if she had cord blood banking, she may have been able to do something for her. Once I found out I was pregnant, I said, “Well, that’s something I would have and make sure my daughter had in case she ever get sick or even her brothers,” because from my research, her brothers can use the cord blood as well, and even me and my husband. Cancer runs in my family and my husband's family.

A lot of my friends had used Americord. They had a good experience. There are not a lot of differences between the services offered by all the other banks but we liked Americord’s customer service a lot. We like the rate that they gave us so we preferred Americord over the others. Our cord blood rep is wonderful. She is the sweetest lady I’ve ever talked to. She was very open about all the questions we had. She assured us that no matter what time we have a question and we want to talk to her, she's available night, day, middle of the night, which thankfully we never needed to. She was very reassuring, very forthcoming about each and every detail that we would need to know about the future of our child’s blood. In general, she's very caring, checked up on us and what we were doing. We've not had to use Americord right now because the baby’s just three months old. But I get the feeling that it would be a smooth process should we ever need to use them.

My older son has leukemia. Americord was the one that I had always heard of and so I decided to bank my baby's cord blood. They always contacted me. They were always on time when they said they were gonna be there. They did exactly what they said they were gonna do.

I decided to bank my baby's cord blood because my first child has special needs. He was born with a cyst inside his head on his left temporal lobe. We weren't aware until he was three years old. Not only that, childhood cancer is very prevalent now. We had done a lot of research on stem cell therapy and we thought it would be smart to do that for our other kids because at some point you can use placental cells for stem cell therapy for people with rheumatoid arthritis. We thought it would be beneficial for our oldest, if anything did ever become legalized in the state, which we could do in other places. Stem cell therapy is legal in Panama and other different countries.

I read reviews about Americord being good. Also, Americord is able to ship across the world. I'm from India. So, even if I had a kid in India, they would be able to ship the cord blood internationally without an extra cost. That stood out for me. With me being in a different country, free shipping will take a lot of burden. We were able to collect the cord blood early in the morning, and the guy from Americord came and picked it up on time. We got a feedback from Americord saying that the sample is good. Kristina called initially but it was a gentleman who closed the deal for us. I was asking him to match my deal with someone else and we went back and forth with the manager. Finally, he was able to close the deal. I was not satisfied with the process that much, but I was satisfied with the outcome.

One of my husband's friends recommended us to Americord and everything looks good for us. The reps were well. They were answering all the questions so everything went good. We were expecting that they will get delivered on time and it was on time so we were happy with that. We did it for our future. It's always helpful if something happens to us or in our family. We can always take advantage out of it.

I was on the fence about banking my baby's cord blood. I talked to my OB and she said that it's totally up to me. But what I thought was interesting was that she also said that in the future, there might be more uses for cord blood because the technology is changing so much. If I could afford to do it, which I can, it's not a bad idea. We don't have a lot of diseases in our family that the cord blood could be used for, but it could be something that will be helpful. It felt like an insurance for the future. I did a Google search on cord blood banking. There was a website that did a side-by-side comparison and said Americord is probably the best fit for what I was looking for so I called and took it from there.

We had a good experience with the rep. I did it with my first daughter and this was my second time with Americord. If they got sick down the road, at least I have an option doing something.

We decided to bank our baby's cord blood to be on the safer side because you never know down the line what things might come in. Paula from Americord was quite convincing and had a lot of knowledge about what Americord does and how other companies don't do those things at a very granular level when it comes to preserving those tissues and all that. That made us go over the thought once again because we were going to go through a different company before. Also, she gave us a good discount after talking with her manager, even if it was a COVID situation. She did a lot of good things for us.

I got referred by a friend and my experience with the rep was very good. She was really nice. She followed up with me and she answered all of my questions. I'm very happy. They also came very fast after we called and everything was good.

The world is really bad right now. There are too many bad things for people so we wanted a better future for our son. Somebody recommended Americord and they told me about it. It's a good option and they have more good stuff. All of their people were nice, professional, and friendly. Americord is the best.

I read somewhere that Americord tries to get more than the standard amount of cells versus the rest of the individuals. Also, there was some kind of discount that came with it. I've had past experiences that made me realize that banking the cord blood was something that I needed to do and good to have. It was just more of chances of if I'll never use or need it until life threw us a curveball. My first child who is 20 now had two bouts of cancer. Then we lost a daughter. The doctors asked me if I had blood and it hurt me to the core that I didn't get Americord but I was thinking about it and I didn't do it. So with this child, I decided to do it. At least, if life throws us another curveball, we'll have that to help us.

Banking my baby's cord blood seemed like a good thing to do. I was worried that if I didn't do it, something bad would happen and I'd regret not doing it. I checked out a bunch of banks online and I liked the website the most with Americord. I read the reviews and I also liked reviews the most for Americord. The pickup easy as well. They came super quickly and they were very professional. We didn't have a room number yet when we called because it was an emergency C-section, and we didn't have to call back and tell the rep a room number. He found us. I also got a follow-up call after giving birth to check on us and to see how we were doing. It was great.

Americord was the first cord blood banking service that reached out to me. I went with them, and my delivery was early in the morning. We called Americord at around 5 o'clock once the delivery was done. The rep responded to us that it might take up to 48 hours for their people to come and pick up the box. By 11 o'clock that day, we got a call saying they were coming to pick up my package. They picked things up by noon. Going with Americord was a pretty good experience.

I felt more confident with Americord with how the person who sold me their product explained everything. Plus, their price was very good too. After that first call with them, their reps called me back twice to follow up and answer my questions. I called them afterward and their crew came to pick up my kit. I feel very good about their service and I'm very comfortable with Americord. The blood I deposited is in a safe place and whenever I need it, I will have it.

My husband looked into different companies and Americord has been around longer and he felt more comfortable with them. Everything arrived as expected. We got a box beforehand and the directions were very clear. We gave it to the doctors in the hospital and they understood everything very easily. Everything was laid out very good. The only thing that could've gone a little bit better was the delivery person not coming as quick as we thought they were coming when we were in the hospital. My husband had to call to find out what was going on. Things had to happen very timely at that point. But they fixed it very quickly and they were able to send somebody. It wasn't too bad. The overall experience was good and very satisfactory.

When I googled, I compared the rates, then whether the company is available. When I called Americord to check on them, they were very prompt in terms of figuring out how they could send us the collection unit. We would have chosen a public bank if we were more informed. But it was one of those things that my sister had done as well with her baby. So, we thought that it would be a good insurance policy if things come up for the worse. They were professional. They also sent a certificate. My only unknown is that, hopefully, they are actually doing the job that they have gotten the money for. The essential service that you're purchasing for Americord is that for a number of years, you have a proper storage facility for the cord blood.

There were various advertisements of Americord while I was pregnant and I looked at one or two banks but they were cheaper. Plus, their name was more recognizable. I spoke to a representative via phone and I asked him for literature before I agreed to sign up with Americord. They gave me the literature that I requested so that I could make an informed decision and I knew that I wanted it. I got it rather late into my pregnancy. So, I just went ahead and ordered it once I made a decision.

My husband used to do research and he found Americord for our first baby. That was two years ago and then we decided to use the same company this time. The service was good and very efficient. This time, we asked for the kit a little later than we should have but it came very quickly. They sent the kit in time for the birth.

We thought it might be a good idea to save our baby’s blood cord in case we need it and my husband chose Americord. He was looking for the detail and they had a good review. The price point is good too. The experience was simple and normal and everyone followed the procedure. We do not know what's gonna happen in the future and cord blood banking is something that you can do for your children. It doesn’t mean that we want to use it but it’s another insurance for my baby.

When our first kid was born, we wanted to bank our baby’s cord blood but we were in India at that time and we did not get an opportunity. So, this time, we decided to do it. One of my friends had a very good experience with Americord and referred me to it. My husband and I had a talk with the reps and they were good in answering our questions. It was very nice and the experience with the specialist was awesome.

For the most part, we've been satisfied with Americord. There were clear instructions in the box that we received and because of the COVID situation, the process was different but they did text us and let us know how to get a hold of them when the time came. My husband met the courier at the parking garage because they weren't allowed inside of the hospital. But they were easily texting him and keeping in touch with him, and he had an easy time finding them. It was a generally easy process in terms of the banking. We had decided to do it after reading what the benefits could be down the road and knowing what the price was to use stem cells if needed. Then we decided on Americord from reading reviews online.

My husband did some research. He spoke to few companies and they were able to answer but finally, we decided to go with Americord. For our first kid, we debated whether or not to do and we ended up not doing it. And then our second kid, and we don’t have plans of having another one. We thought, first of all, whatever we do, that would be the last chance. Second, I spoke to my OB/GYN about it and we took her suggestions. She suggested to go with it and obviously, her suggestion would be the top priority.

Our friend's son had got cancer, and they had done a cord blood stash, and it kind of pretty much saved their son's life. Without having stem cells, he would not have made it. So, we thought we would plan on worst-case scenario and hope we never have to use it. I found Americord through just a Google search and I kind of researched other people's feedback on it. We thought pricing was fair compared to other vendors that offer similar stuff. So, I was kind of riding with the marketline, but the history and longevity of the company was a big factor for me. I was kind of afraid. There are some companies that have only been in business like 10 years and what if they go out of business. I even asked the gentleman I spoke to about that and he's like, "Well, everything wouldn't go up. We got a business. You have the option to move your samples elsewhere."

My husband and I started talking about saving the cord for our child for any future illnesses. I started doing research and we called Americord. The online sign-up was great. I preferred to just talk with a person instead of signing up. So I called and a wonderful woman helped me sign up, and the process was very simple during the time of delivery. I just handed over the box and the surgeons and the nurses took care of everything. I had the box with me again and I called for someone to come and pick it up. It was very simple.

We thought it would be helpful to bank our baby's cord blood. My cousin used Americord for their babies so it was easy that I selected them too. Their specialist was good. Every time I called them, I took each and every detail. They told me what I wanted and exactly what we should do. My husband took care of things with the kit. Someone came and picked it up. Everything is good.

I researched Americord online and it looked like a good company. The staff were friendly and easy to work with. We did this banking in case something ever happens and the kids would need it. I used Americord before and has a good experience with their specialist. It was easy when the courier picked up the kit too. The second time around, they still went over everything again with me. But it was just to make sure. Everything went well.

Because I’m not sure what will happen within 15 years, banking my baby’s cord blood is an option. It is for safety. My experience with Americord was pretty good. I have already used them before, so this is my second. It was pretty straightforward. Americord is perfect. They're pretty responsive, and the calls and follow-ups were pretty good. The company is recommendable.

You never know what's gonna happen in the future. We wanted to make sure that we have that little peace of mind in case our baby needed something. Americord is a lot more affordable monthly-wise. There was no big downpayment that was necessary at first. Our specialist was very pleasant. Everything ran very smoothly especially since everything we did was literally at the last minute. I'm really surprised by how pleasant and how accommodating they were. They sent someone out real quick with the kit within seven hours from when our child was born. And then they called and checked on us afterward.

We liked the possibilities with cord blood banking and figured that it would be something good. Working with Americord's specialists was easy. They took care of everything. The pick-up was flawless. If their service was more affordable, it would be really nice. Still, we're really happy with it.

I read recent reviews online and Americord's pricing was good. The service was also very nice. Plus, I needed the kit quite urgently and they were able to send it over quickly. Everything went nicely and my interactions with them were pretty good. They ended up answering most of my questions, so they followed up frequently. I was very satisfied.

I got a quote from all cord blood bank companies when I did searching around the internet. I liked Americord's prices better than others and I ordered their service. I paid and they sent me a box with all the items. We called them after and they picked the items up. Everything went fine.

One of my friends who had a baby last year had a good experience with Americord and I got a referral from her. After I looked at a few companies, I just went with Americord. Everything was pretty seamless and easy, and I got a few follow-up calls. I really liked the rep a lot. The kit was supposed to come the next day after I talked with him. However, I went into labor that night. He helped get somebody to come to my house within a few hours so that I could bring the kit with me to the hospital. He really helped me.

I have friends who decided to bank their baby's cord blood and they recommended me to do it, too. It’s a good investment for the future of the kids. The biggest present for the kids is their health, so it's nice to have some kind of partial insurance for their health in the future, just in case. I was using Americord for my first child and I went with them because of the price. They gave me a good deal because I made a one-time payment and it was for a long time. I was also very satisfied because I delivered in the morning and in the next hour and a half, the guy came over to pick up the package. So, everything was very smooth and quick. Then, it happened again with the second baby. When we called them to collect the blood cord, they came over quickly. I was worried the first time because for the first baby, the blood cells were not so many. But for the second child, they collected a good number of the blood cells.

Everybody at Americord has been really helpful so far. I have been in touch with Steven. He was the one that signed me up and he was accommodating. I was initially choosing between Americord and somebody else and what made the decision for me to choose Americord was Steven. Anytime I had any questions, I would contact him and he was able to help me. He didn't make me feel rushed when he was answering my questions and he was very patient with me. Also, Americord was a little bit cheaper, which was definitely helpful.

I came across Americord and I wanted to keep the blood. When I was giving birth, the nurse told me in the hospital that if something happened, my baby can’t use his own blood even though it's 100% matched. Only siblings could use it or something, but they didn’t clarify what it was and I don’t know if it’s true or not. I continued anyway because it’s good to have just in case. Also, the pickup went well and we’re satisfied.

The courier and the specialist were great. Americord was the only one that we saw that stored the whole placenta and they gave out all the correct paperwork at the hospital, but it was a hassle to get the placenta from the doctors. The hospital had protocols regarding releasing my placenta to me and it couldn’t leave the floor that I was on, which was the delivery floor, then I had to go to recovery. They couldn't separate me from the placenta, so they ended up figuring it out internally and getting it signed off. I’m not sure they were supposed to do it, but they didn't know what to do then.

I had cancer and I wanted to make sure that I was doing everything to help my kid. It was fine with the Americord specialist. The kit came fast and everything, including the directions, was simple. Also, I liked that the nurses knew what to do.

As a precaution, I banked my baby's cord blood and my experience with Americord was perfect. I found them on the website and when I did a little research, it was not bad. The specialist called me to follow up and see how it went with the baby.

When I did some research, it looked like Americord has a longer term, which was 20 years instead of about 15 with other companies. It also looked like Americord was doing more research on the cord blood and the tissue than other companies. The blood specialist was very helpful. I had a lot of questions and they answered them all. And if they didn’t know, they had some other people that knew more and they would answer me and explain everything. Also, the experience with the courier was easy, simple, and to the point.

Our experience with Americord is good. One of my friends referred them. The courier that picked up the kit was good and on time. But maybe it would be more helpful if we get some more deals.

I went with Americord because of the price, how easy it was to navigate the site which was very important, how fast the representative would get back and because they had really good reviews. I didn't do the placenta, but I was kind of thinking about it and probably another option. Having an extra option is always good. Having the procedure is important nowadays. We don't have all the research done yet and we're still in the process but it's having the company to have your back just in case. The value is if you need to use it but I hope I never use them.

We've used Americord before and they've met my expectations. Unfortunately, I've not had to use the cord blood but as far as collecting it and the storage of it, it's been a great experience. We have the means to do cord blood banking and we hope we never have to use it but if we do, it's nice to have it there. But it's difficult for the patient to get buy-in from hospital staff because the hospitals don't do it very often. There's a little bit of anxiety there on the side of the parent to make sure that the blood and the tissue are harvested, preserved and shipped correctly. For a lot of people, it's outside of their normal core of operations.

I like that Americord is the only storage bank that also does placenta tissue. Plus, when I called them, their reps answered all my questions. I also liked their knowledge of their processes and technology. Their price is relatively competitive as well.

Americord's annual fee is really competitive against the others. Also, the reviews were the tie-breaker. Getting enrolled was very smooth. Once I was interested, an agent reached out to me and helped me determine the plan and also a discount. Since it was a very short amount of time for the due date, the package kit was sent overnight. The overall value of going with Americord has been very good.

We picked Americord for our daughter and decided to keep it simple and go with them again. They were very easy to work with. You almost didn't have to do anything so it was nothing really stressful. But we had a little trouble with the carrier. They were supposed to head out, but they never got the notice, which was delayed. However, it was just a few hours, which wasn’t too much. And when they realized that there was an error, they had somebody out there within 20 minutes.

My husband could get Americord in about two hours. It was very quick and easy. With Americord, if something happened for baby in the future, we could treat her.

The price that Americord offered was good and we had a really good experience with the blood cord specialist. We have a lot of questions and concerns about everything and he answered them. Then, the courier texted us 15 minutes before they were coming, and they came and got the parcel, and they left. It was perfect. Our friend referred us to them and we recommended them as well to another friend who also got their services.

I used Americord because a friend of ours used it before and recommended them to us. The person I worked with was great. She was always answering all the questions that we had and calling us back. Everything was smooth and good. Now, we just use Americord to store the material. We don’t know what would be the service if we need to use in the future, but so far, so good. Until now, every experience has been great.

Our baby's cord blood might be used especially if in the future we have a disease or anything, because that is what it is for. We got a good price from Americord. And then, our interactions were good. Everything was answered very nicely by the representative and they took interest whenever I asked why these were, and they even customized a few things for us, which was nice. Also, their response was very quick.

I just want to have one baby so I wanted to just try to keep her safe and sound. I heard lots of good things about saving the tissue and the blood for the baby can help if some specific disease happens. They would be healed with the blood and tissue. I Googled Americord and I called a different kind of company, but the deal that Americord gave me was better than the others so I chose them. I called the rep a couple of times and he answered briefly and with patience. And then, I just told my doctor she can just keep my baby's tissues and blood, and then someone came to pick them up. I like Americord.

This is my second baby and we had done cord blood banking for my first one as well but that was in India. That time, we researched about it. So we were pretty much on board with the idea of something that might come useful when we are not there and it's still convenient for her. So choosing to bank her cord blood was a no-brainer for us. We had to do it. It was just we had to figure out which one to go to. I spoke to Gail and Americord was suggested by one of my friends and she had a good experience. We were comparing that and another company which was mostly a little bit cheaper then Gail matched the price. Because of the convenience, we went with Americord. The experience with the specialist was all smooth. We didn't have to hassle anywhere.

My boyfriend chose Americord. He looked it up, found the information and after that, he said it was the best one to get. So, I trusted his instinct on it. Americord called me last month to keep me up to date with it. They emailed me my password and username, and they gave me the website that I can go on and check how everything is going. It was cool. They were very informative. When I went ahead and had the baby, we had the kit way before then, and we just gave it to the doctor who delivered and they stored everything well. The Americord rep called and they came and picked up everything. Everything was taken care of. It was great and quick.

Americord has been referred by my family and this company met my expectations -- I referred them to my friends, too. Their cord blood specialist was good, and the courier driver who picked up the kit was on time.

Both my siblings have type 1 diabetes. And I know there’s a lot of stem cell research going on with that. So, they're thinking if there was something going on with my children, that we might be able to use the banked cord blood. We researched quite a few companies and we went with Americord because of price and features. It was a very positive and good user-experience with them. They made it really easy including the pickup. We banked the cord blood, but we have had to use banked blood. I hope we never have to use it the cord blood. But just getting to this point, I feel like we’ve been well-taken care of.

For my firstborn, I looked at research and found that I could delay the clamping of the cord, which was beneficial towards the baby. But as I was looking at more research, I saw that I could do the cord blood and do the pills for the placenta. I kept doing more research about the cord blood and storing it in a private bank, and I saw that it already has cures for cancer and things like that. It already intrigued me. I saw the beneficial sides of collecting the cord blood if the child ever needed it if anything happens in the future. It felt more helpful to me versus delaying the cord clamping. So, I used Americord's services and I’ve been treated with 100% care and love every time. They absolutely have met my expectations and beyond. I also call their service a cheap insurance.

My husband had a history of plasmacytoma which is a type of a blood cancer. So, we did cord blood banking and we went with Americord. We had a good experience. We'd refer this company to friends.

We decided to bank the baby’s blood for safety reasons and we chose Americord over other banks because of the insurance. Using Americord is all good.

They were really great. They called me a week before I was due to reconfirm instructions. After I gave birth, all my husband had to do was call them and a messenger came and picked up my baby's cord blood. So it was pretty seamless.

Americord kept popping up on one of the apps I had. When I went to search different banks, they were one of the ones that also kept coming up. And a lot of information was given in the way they had everything displayed on their website as well as when I contacted them and spoke with a customer service representative. I liked their customer service. I felt comfortable and that they were to be trusted.

I used Americord for my first child and their specialist was great. Their reps were also very informative, detailed and helpful. So, I have no issues at all. The value of using them has met my expectation and I'm happy with it.

In case we need our baby's cord blood in the future, we want to make sure we have it. So, we decided to bank it. Americord had one of the longer storage years, plus I liked their pricing and what they offered. Everything went great with them and my experience went pretty smoothly. It was also seamless when the courier picked up the kit.

We banked our first daughter's cord blood and we did it because we have a lot of friends that are in the industry. They do stem cell therapy on patients, but he's a chiropractor and he suggested that we bank it because what we know now isn’t what we’re gonna know in 20 years. We went with Americord with our first. Their prices were significantly better than to ViaCord. We were planning on using them, but we didn’t order anything until later because we thought we still had seven weeks to go. I delivered at 33 weeks, and to accommodate it, the carrier was there within an hour to deliver all the stuff. They made sure to have a carrier deliver it. My doctor was really good that he saved everything.

We banked our baby's cord blood for any future need. I had a great experience when I reached out to Americord and they were able to inform me well of all the information as well as the process.

My mother wanted to bank her grandson’s cord blood. She works at a hospital and she talked to other moms who had done the same thing as well as talked to a lot of her friends. They had used Americord and had a good experience, so my mother chose them too. When I worked with the cord blood specialist, it was very well done, instructions are easy to follow, and it was a good experience. Then, the pick up of the kit went really smoothly as well according to my husband. So just in case anything comes up, it’s better to have my child's cord blood and not need it than to need it and not have it, and especially with all the technology and how many years they can come up with cures for things. So, if any diseases come up, then we can use it.

Banking my baby's cord blood might be useful in the future. I previously used Americord so I decided to use them again. The instructions were thorough and easy to understand. The reps responded on time, got back to me once they got the results, and everything seemed to be normal.

I compared Americord with other providers and I chose them for the overall pricing and their reviews. Everybody from Americord has been absolutely fantastic, and I’ve had no issues. They’ve been very accommodating and very quick to respond to any questions or emails that I sent over to them. This is the second time I’ve used them since the first one was with my first daughter, and then this one again is with my second daughter. I did not meet the second person but the first one was fantastic and very pleasant. I have no complaints about either one of them though. I really wish that we would have had the first courier again because she was super out there and great to talk to.

We used Americord with our son in 2017. They have more offerings like with the placental tissues, and we used them again for another son recently. It's really expensive but it's worth it for us. If in the future we need the tissues we banked, we would regret not doing it. And with technology in the future, we would never know what the baby's cord blood would become and what it can be used for.

Our family talked to our doctors, and they recommend banking our baby’s cord blood just in case in the future the baby has some disease or he gets sick that he will need that. Some friends recommended Americord to us. The only thing is the doctor and the nurses didn’t know how to work with Americord. They didn’t know how it worked, and it was a little bit difficult to start doing the process because there were so many packets and so many things. And there were no clear instructions. So, the doctor was a little bit confused. Other than that, our experience was very good.

I regretted not collecting or saving the cord blood with my first child. Science is progressing really fast. I work in the veterinary medicine field, and they're starting to use stem cells a lot there, so I figured it would be a good idea to bank my baby's cord blood as well. After doing a bunch of research, I decided to use Americord since they offered the placenta storage. The benefits and overall process was explained to me really well, and my experience with the cord blood specialist was really good too. The courier came really quickly and everything went smoothly when the kit was picked up.

John ** was my stem cell specialist and he was absolutely fantastic! He was extremely knowledgeable and took time to help me decide what would be best for our growing family and what we would be able to afford. He was very patient with all my questions and took time to give me thorough answers. He made sure I understood everything and knew what to expect moving forward. I would highly recommend Americord Registry based on the experience I had today!

I wanted to bank our baby's cord for insurance purposes. I never know what's going to happen so I rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. I would hate to be 10 years down the road and have the doctor say, "Do you have this?" and me saying I don't when I could have. It's cheap insurance and it's for peace of mind. When I was searching for banks, I looked into several factors as far as how they go about storing and drawing the different cells. But Americord's credibility, their history in doing it, their different process of storing, the length of the storage and their price made us go ahead and use them.

We figured banking our baby's cord blood as an extra insurance policy. Based on the research we did online, it looked like Americord had a good program in place for the price. The rep was friendly and knowledgeable. And it was self-explanatory with the kit for the pick-up. Everything was great.

My husband and I researched a lot together. One of the items we considered was price, and Americord matched the price. Besides that, they are expanding and growing, so we thought, "Okay, they are not going to be out of business soon." It made it more trustable. So, they stored the cord and the tissue that we want, and everything is fine.

I had a great experience with Americord. It was a referral from my sister and their reps were really helpful, willing to work with me and answered all my questions. They definitely met my expectations.

Our doctor said that saving the umbilical is good in case something happens with our daughter in the future. They also explained to us how it works. We thought about it and decided to choose Americord. For me, the experience was amazing. It's good to know that we have that in case something happens in the future. Some companies don’t take care when you pay. But Americord takes care of their clients. They call sometimes, which is good. Also. my husband said the courier who came was nice. I'm happy with the experience.

We thought banking our baby's cord blood will be useful for her if there'd be any issues in the future. A friend referred Americord to me and our experience with them was good. Their reps responded well and the courier came on time. So far, I'm satisfied.

We did some research on the benefit of cord blood collection, and that is to help avoid some risks that surround a baby, so we made the decision to do that. And Americord has exceeded my expectations. Everything was great and they picked up the blood really quickly. We didn’t know previously that they go to hospitals, so we called and the person was really professional. She was really quick at finding my hospital’s address. Everything was perfect.

We decided to bank our baby's cord blood since it's better to be safe than sorry and our experience with Americord was very positive. We've also worked with them in the past and they were responsive. My representative was very attentive and always got back to me in a very timely fashion. And I'm glad we got the courier driver who picked up the kit.

Using Americord was easy, so I didn't have to follow up on anything. Once I spoke to one of the representatives, I got the kit on time, and I had been getting calls to make sure that I was happy with the service. Overall, everything was very good including the customer service and the office. I'm happy that I chose Americord. I bank my baby's cord for precautionary measure. We have my elder one with another provider. One of my friends had chosen Americord, so we told him we do our younger one with Americord. The price and the offer that we were given were really good, better than any other providers in that point of time.

We have a sickle cell son. We were thinking we could use our baby's cord blood for him and have a transplant. So, we decided to bank our baby's cord blood. The guy that I spoke to at the first company that I called put me through an extension email and I felt kind of confused. So, I chose to go with Americord. Plus, my hospital was talking about them and said that they are quite efficient. The specialist I dealt with were professional and I was comfortable with them. I also had a wonderful experience with the courier. I was thinking that he was not gonna make it that day, but he came through and everything was good. He just picked it up.

Both of the Americord reps I spoke with were experienced and knowledgeable. They answered almost all of my questions. The only negative point to me was that Americord picked up the cord package from the hospital with just a regular car. It wasn’t what I expected. We thought it’s a special kind of car that keeps the temperature in a given range. The man who picked it up was polite though.

We had friends who recommended banking our baby’s cord blood and then our OB recommended it too. When I did the research, there was a multitude of reasons to do it- all the diseases that it could cure and for health. And also, I have a neurological disease and I know they’re doing a lot of research with neurological diseases. There was a chance that it could help me one day.

Americord's rep communicated really well. She was very responsive. When it was time for them to collect everything, their team was really good with their deadlines as far as having a courier to come over and pick the kit up. The process was clear cut and dry. So, it wasn’t hard to understand what was gonna happen. For someone who has never heard anything about cord blood prior to this interaction with Americord, I had a good experience.

I had a good experience with the cold blood specialists I worked with at Americord. They gave me good advice and had a wide variety of options. I also had a wonderfully easy experience with the carrier who picked up the kit.

Americord seemed good. I was banking my baby's cord blood just in case and the people that I talked to over the phone were very nice and helpful. They sent me a lot of information.

Americord is better for me compared to the other companies. We might need the stem cell anytime, so I decided to do that for my baby. The experience I had with their rep and their explanation on the process was good Everything is okay and I have no complaints with Americord.

I wanted to be sure and to make everything perfect for my baby. I went with Americord because of their service and it was very good dealing with their rep. Also, the instructions manual that they gave with the kit and the courier that picked it up was good.

I decided to bank my baby’s blood in keeping up with the modern technology available for his health. Americord sent me an email that made it really easy to find them and use them. They were very friendly and helpful. If I had to use the cord tissue, I would have no idea where to start and what that process would look like. So, the basics were been explained. The courier was in and out, though I would've preferred if they had identification on them as it would have made me more comfortable. Overall I would recommend it.

Americord offered three options for storage, so I had more options. The rep was helpful and very thorough. We took pictures of the courier’s ID to make sure that it was gonna be delivered, but it was fine. Everything’s good.

I used Americord for my first child, so I thought I would use the same one. I had a good experience with the blood specialist as well as the courier.

I was just taking every precaution possible and I didn't think it was worth the money yet to do soft tissue. But knowing that the number of stem cells was kind of an opportunity, I thought the money was worth it and I decided to bank my baby’s cord blood. I liked the whole setup of Americord and some of the technology that they used was a little bit better than the others. Then, after dealing with the sales consultant, she answered all my questions and they did what they said they would do. At that crazy time, consistency mattered, so everything was great from when they sent out the kit to the logistics company that picked it up and the follow up after the certificates. It made me feel like everything was handled well. Americord has definitely met my expectations and they did well. It was excellent.

We have a family history of Hodgkin’s lymphoma. My mom had it and she had to do a stem cell transplant. This made us want to bank our baby's blood in case they ever needed their stem cells. We liked Americord's price and so we went with them. Everybody there was very nice and they explained their process perfectly.

I like Americord's services and the rates that they were providing. It makes me feel secured that the cord blood is being saved for my kids. I heard a lot about the stem cell therapy and stuff that treat a lot of diseases these days. I’m hoping I never have to use that, but in case anything happens, I’m hoping they could come through and it can treat my children or me and my husband.

I had a very nice experience with the Americord rep that I dealt with. I chose them because of their price. And so far, Americord has met my expectations and I'd probably use it again.

We chose Americord for their cost, which was my biggest factor. However, we were also very intrigued with the timeframe for banking. The specialist was very informative, professional, and prompt getting back to me when I had further questions. We had some follow-up phone calls as well, and the representative called in to check with us, which was really nice. My oldest son is a type 1 diabetic, and I know that there are some studies out there wherein the steam cells can possibly help to reverse type 1 diabetics that are within the family. And if my daughter is ever to become a type 1 diabetic, it would help her as well.

Americord has a competitive cost compared to other companies, and their rep was good at explaining our questions and doubts. Also, the courier was very quick. It was on a weekend and we did it the last minute, four days before my surgery. When we called, they came and responded promptly. This will be good for my daughter’s future if in case we are in need of anything, like blood cells for any medical reason.

I have chosen Americord as the blood bank company for my baby after long hrs of research and discussing with my friends, once the baby is born, the blood collection kit is filled with all required blood drawings from mom and cord and the medical transportation person came to hospital and took the kit, first thing they won't even give any acknowledgment that they have received it from you. Secondly, they had a flight delay in transporting it to their lab in New York due to bad weather and further said that they have tried to get it with the next flight available, but that didn't work as expected and when it reach finally the viability of using the blood samples failed and it is no longer useful for my kid.

A friend recommended Americord to me and I had a great experience with them. I felt like I was definitely taken care of in terms of being followed up with and instructed on. I liked the ease of their kit and they also sent me a letter in the mail which was definitely a customer delight.

I researched online and Americord seemed reliable. The options, the process and everything was simple, too. So, I went with them. They really care and my experience has been very good. They answer all the questions that I have and with the support. So, I'm really happy with that.

My husband got in touch with a representative from Americord and he had a better experience with their customer service. Americord was more willing to work around the pricing for us. They gave us so many different options, and they were willing to match different pricing for us. When I went into labor, we got our kit right away and sent it to the hospital, which was really great. I was worried I wasn’t gonna be able to collect anything, but it was beyond what I expected. I got a call from Americord a little bit after the birth of my baby, and I had a really great interaction with the rep.

I’ve looked through a few banks and Americord had good pricing. They also had good customer service when I called for information. So, I went with them and my experience has been excellent. I know that the blood is being well-kept and they give me good information about what's going on. I feel it’s secure and we’re good for the length of the storage. We’ve done it twice now because I wanted to make sure that if both of my babies ever got any type of disease, the cord blood would be available to them. With my first, the person who picked up the kit was very professional. My husband told me that the second time around they were a little less professional. They weren’t very forthright with explaining who they were but they still took it and were timely.

I have my first daughter’s cord banked at Americord. Recently, I used them again and our experience with them was good. It met my expectations fully. With the convenience of getting the process done and getting the carrier to pick everything up, it was very smooth.

I lost a brother to cancer when he was six. So, knowing that there’s cancer in my family, childhood cancer especially, my husband and I decided that banking our baby's cord blood was worth the cost. I got to speak with a rep of Americord at my OB's office and that was really helpful to have an actual human to talk to and ask questions, too. I got a little bit confused as to what happens after the blood was taken, but I got to speak with someone a couple of weeks ago about it and the process was explained pretty well. The courier came way early. They arrived two hours before they were supposed to come and my husband spoke with them and it was fine. So far, so good.

I’ve read through some of the benefits of cord blood banking. My husband and I had a trait of a blood disorder, so we tried to do it. We didn’t do it with our first child as we kind of forgot but as we planned for our second child, it was something that we wanted to look into and take advantage of because we never know what may happen in the future.

My friend's mom is on the board of Americord and she said really good things about it. Our baby came a little bit early so we set up the appointment within hours of needing their service. Americord was able to get to us that night. They arrived on time and did exactly what the directions said they were going to do. They also kept my husband in the loop. Storing our baby's cord blood makes us feel better that we have a safety net if we ever need it.

Previously, I used Americord with my son. So, it was a very easy decision to do that with my second child as well. Everyone's been very friendly and very eager to help. It's a very quick process and thus far, using Americord has exceeded my expectations. I like the way they do business and everyone that I've spoken to has been very knowledgeable. In this world, people never know what's gonna happen. It would be for the best if I bank my children's cord blood. After researching multiple companies, Americord seems like it provides the best value and the best customer service.

Our baby's forming a heart condition that we knew in utero so we decided to bank our baby's cord blood. I spoke to a few people from Americord, a female at the beginning, and then a male at the end after we had sent it away. And everyone was really great and everything was explained extremely well.

My sister-in-law who has been using Americord's services recommended them to me. I went and their rep was very informative and helpful. Scheduling was easy. I called them, said I was ready for pick up and they came to the hospital and picked up the kit the next day. So far, using Americord's service has met my expectations. I've recommended someone to them already.

I like Americord's customer service. I looked at different places where I can bank my baby's cord blood and they were very good in terms of calling and making sure that I was satisfied. They made sure as well that all my questions were answered. I went with them and the specialist who assisted me was great. She didn't pressure me and gave me some time. When I was ready to make the decision, she was there to answer the questions and process whatever was left such as doing the payment. I was at the hospital and their courier dropped it off for me while they were there. The courier told me the time that they were gonna get there and they were there at that time. Overall, Working with Americord has met all my expectations.

I was referred to Americord and as I was speaking with them, they decided to give me a discount. There are new cancers coming out and people are more prone to be diagnosed with different types of cancer and it’s genetic. My husband’s side of the family has had a lot of people diagnosed with cancer. So if I can alleviate it by donating cord blood, which is for stem cell research and it can help out with a family member or my child, where they wouldn’t have to go through extraneous tests and have to pay the most bucks on medicine or treatments, it’s not gonna work or cause them to be a little bit more lethargic. I just thought it was a better idea, to pay the upfront cost instead of the long-term cost.

Americord is newer than all the other companies but they had good reviews. Also, it was cheaper than the other options. My husband handled the setup and he didn't have any complaints. Before they arrived, setting up was quick and easy. And the follow-ups had been good and everything was handled pretty quickly. I am happy with the service.

I did some research on Google and Americord seemed to be legitimate and they have good reviews. Also, they are cost-effective. When we said that the cost is more for us and we can't afford that much, they took a step and they reduced the price for us according to our budget. We are very thankful to them. They collected our baby’s stem cells. There is so much of research going on and it may be useful in the near future if we have any complications. If technology developed in the future and if we get more advantages with it, then it is the best way to do it. We are happy with it.

Setting everything up with Americord was pretty easy. My husband did it over the phone and he didn’t complain. We went with them for the placenta tissue that they provide. Having the kit for our child, so far and in the future, is very important.

Americord had placental preservation that the other banks didn't have. Also, the price seemed more reasonable when you collect several tissues so we went with them. My fiancé gave them the kit and everything was great.

I asked my OB if putting my baby's cord blood in a bank was worth it and he said it was. After an online research, I decided to go with Americord. The rep who assisted me was very helpful and got everything done in a day. The process for picking up the kit was also done pretty quickly. There was some miscommunication, so they sent two couriers. But regardless, everything was smooth and they were able to find me. All in all, Americord has met my expectations very well.

I'm a bit older and this is my first child, so I wanted to make sure that everything was fine. Americord had pretty good ratings and their reps were really knowledgeable. They definitely follow up, personally call you and explain everything. They'll also send you things via email or tell you that you should go on the site to look up stuff. So, they were very helpful. The person that I spoke with every time was always the same person, which was nice and more personable. We got all the samples, and though the hospital where I had it collected at hasn't had many private collections with Americord, the kits were pretty easy. After I delivered, we called the number and they came in and picked it up within two hours. It absolutely met my expectations or, if anything, exceeded them.

I have diabetes through pregnancy, and I did research and saw that a lot of diseases could be treated by the cord blood and tissue. It would benefit me as well later on if I have diabetes. I banked three things with Americord because I have to think far for my baby, so it's like I bought insurance. I called them around 7:00 PM and they set up the morning pick-up. Everything was fast and they gave me a lot of details, explained to me very clearly and the price is very reasonable.

My husband and I have researched about Americord when we decided to go cord blood banking. It will be useful if anyone in family needs the baby’s stem cell. We found Americord in good reviews. We couldn't afford the down payment and they have installment planning. This is the largest bank so we feel this cord blood will be safe with their banking. My other friend also goes with them and referred them to me.

I like that Americord had higher capture count than a lot of the other places did. I had experience with ViaCord previously, with my son. The pricing structure seemed a lot more reasonable with Americord without having to have the yearly service fee. Americord's customer service is awesome. They've called me several times to check in and let me know what's going on with our account and things. It's been pretty great so far. And we had a really high cell capture. So I thought that was also good.

I like Americord's pricing and they have better options compared to others. They also did the placenta. The staff I talked with made everything very streamlined. She was very forward and made sure to catch up with me and get everything set up for me. Americord is very valuable for the future of my child and for me as well. Our doctor had gotten everything ready and my husband handled it because I was still recovering, and it was really easy.

Americord was suggested to me by a friend. There's so much out there disease-wise, and there are a lot of research happening on how cord blood banking could potentially help. We have two kids. We did not do it with our first, but we decided to go ahead and do it with our second. The instructions that we received over the phone was slightly different than what the person picking it up assumed. They didn't assume that they were supposed to pick up the whole kit. And we were told to seal it. But it was received just fine. Americord has been easy to use.

We reached out to Americord and they got back to us quickly. Their rates were comparable and affordable, and we had heard good things about their service. Our experience with the blood specialists that assisted us was a breeze and it was really good. They thoroughly explained everything to us and the directions on how to collect the things were clear. My husband met with the courier who picked the kit up. The courier came quickly and the transfer went smoothly. The value of using Americord has definitely met our expectations. It gives me peace of mind to know that I have the blood saved there in case I and the baby ever need it.

I decided to bank our baby’s blood out of insurance and I went with Americord because of the price. The inside of their kit is a little confusing. My doctor was not familiar with it, so it took her a bit of, “What is this? What do we here? What is that?” They deal with all of the other brands. So, one feedback would be making sure that their sales reps are going out to meet more doctors to make sure they are familiar with the services.

We heard a lot of things like banking our baby’s blood might be useful for her future or for any kind of diseases that can be cured by the blood cell so we did it. Americord picked up the samples at the right time and communicated properly so we felt it was a safe place. The courier came to the hospital and picked up the kit. We don’t want to go anywhere. It was an awesome experience.

We banked our first child’s blood and the researchers said that it might be useful for different diseases. Although we’re not sure if it can be useful for us or not, we went for it thinking that we would have an option if we needed it. Now, this is our second child, and with Americord's competitive pricing and the good storage, we decided to use their services over other companies. I dealt with Paula and another guy, and everything in the process was good. There were no glitches on the pic-up of the kit and the courier who did it was smooth.

I'm in the healthcare profession and we looked into cord blood banks. You never know until you need it and hopefully, never do. It’s quite valuable. We decided on Americord from looking around, online reviews and the cost. Their customer service was fine and it was easy to get somebody around the phone. The experience with the courier driver was great, quick and straightforward.

My wife and I decided we're gonna just have one baby, so it was worth it to have something to bank up for any future problems, health-wise. There were some people who advised me to bank our baby's cord blood while some told us we didn't need to. But, we chose to keep the blood cells and that's what we did. I made some research and Americord explained a lot before I started the process. I also chose them based on their price and service.

My husband did a lot of research and towards the end was it was coming down to price between Americord and one other place. But the service was better from Americord so we ended up with them. So far, their service has been great. We got a really good quality of service for the price. We would totally recommend Americord.

I read about Americord and figured it is a good thing to have. Banking my baby's cord blood is good for the whole family if anything ever happens to my daughter, myself, my husband or any other kids I might have. Their reps were helpful and made the process easy. Plus, my experience with their specialist was good. They came to the hospital and picked the cord blood up. It was quick.

Our baby’s cord blood might be used in the future and one of our friends had just done it with Americord, so we chose to go with them. Everything has been very smooth with the process. When we joined though, they said they were gonna give the referral to our friend but it has been several months now and it still hasn’t been processed.

My friend suggested that a baby's cord would be something useful for any future medical treatments. Americord was referred to us and so far, our experience has been pretty good. Their courier came on time and he knew what he was expecting in the package.

Banking our baby’s cord blood is something new and we don’t wanna be feeling bad that we didn't do it so I did and this is our second time with Americord. They’re pretty good and informative. They answered the questions of the order we have. Plus, we got the kit on time too.

In 2014, my first daughter was born and we chose Americord then. Even though the office suggested a different company for my second baby, we wanted to go through Americord since my first daughter did bank with them. As soon as I contacted Americord for the second time cord blood banking, they made the process smooth. After finalizing, they sent the kit immediately, in two days. Even the courier process was done great. It was night time but as soon as we called, the very morning, they came and picked it up. After the banking, we just contacted them for the certificate. It was a really good experience with Americord and I would recommend this company to my friends. I have my Masters in Science and I hope that someday, banking both our children’s cord blood might help us in some other way.

We were doing some research and we were told that in case we need the cord for any medical purposes in future, banking it would really be helpful. Everybody else was doing it, so we did it too. My friend did their cord with Americord and they told me that everything like the service was really good. I went to them too and I had a really nice specialist. She was really helpful and she had knowledge of what she was doing. The people who picked up the kit came on time. They came to the hospital at the particular time they mentioned. They came to pick up everything. They checked then they left. Americord has exceeded my expectation.

We used Americord with our first baby and we went with the same thing for the second one. Their cost made me prefer them over other companies. Initially, I chatted with them online and they called me back on my cell. I requested for the different options that I have and they provided me with it. I chose the cord blood only, then they sent the box to me within two days. There were follow-up emails and text messages of what to do on the day of the delivery.

Americord said to me that they can extract a higher number of cells and the representative explained each and everything. He told me the positive and the negative and he gave me what extra thing Americord is providing. So it was really helpful for me to exactly understand the cost, the pluses it leads to and how we can use it in the future. You never know what may happen so I wanted to save the cord blood to be on the safe side. It might be 10 years down the line but if something happens to the baby, to us or to her sibling, I should have something we can work on. At this point, I don't have any issues. It's going pretty well.

One of the things that led us to Americord is the use of the latest technologies to preserve the cord blood for a longer time. Mainly, our thing was the price also. Plus the people at Americord were able to answer our questions on how the pricing would be, what would happen, how I would get something if I needed it and how a DNA would match. I think there was a quick test on how it matches with other DNAs. With all the things going around, we wanted to be careful. If something comes around, either to me, the baby or anybody, the cord blood would help our strength. We did it as an insurance and it has been a smooth journey. They came and picked the kit up, and that was it.

My baby's cord blood could be used for a health issue. We decided to bank it and after doing a research, we went with Americord. I like that they saved the blood cells, the umbilical cord and the tissue of the placenta. The courier who picked up the kit was very nice and professional. We were stuck on some stuff, and he helped a lot.

I had a traumatic experience in my childhood that left me with a lifelong disability. I have a spinal cord injury and there's no current treatment for that. I decided to go with banking stem cells for the idea that in the future, they may be more effective at treating more things. Giving my kid that opportunity, potentially down the road, to have something that may be able to keep my kid from having to live with a lifelong disability or illness is amazing. Americord was good with answering my questions when I called in. I had a great experience with their specialist.

I will be having my first child and my mother encouraged us that we should store our baby's cord in case something happens on the way. Another reason I wanted to bank my baby's cord blood is that of my own syndrome. I also have a pregnancy blood clot and anemia. My doctor gave me some flyers and we started doing some research. After that, we called Americord. Their price and service made me want to know more about their company. It helped that their staff were attentive to follow up with each step.

I decided to bank my baby's cord blood to be on the safe side just in case. I did some research and I decided to use Americord's services. Their specialists knew what they were talking about and they were thorough. Then, the courier who picked the kit up was fast.

Banking my baby's cord blood was a smart thing to do. With Americord, we didn’t have to pay for storage for 20 years like everyone else and they were also cheaper. They met my expectations and everything was good.

We did a lot of research, read reviews, and Americord and another company had the best reviews. When we tried to get in touch with both companies, Americord was very responsive. They answered our messages and questions even on weekends. Their representative was really nice, which made the pick easy. The blood cord specialist was there and answered in detail. Also, the cord specialist's patience and responsiveness were good. So far, Americord, makes me feel better knowing that they're there. We wanna make sure that if anything ever happens, we did this, so essentially it's insurance. While I wish the price wasn't so hefty, my overall experience was good.
