    My auntie did ViaCord and I was interested in the benefits the service has. I signed up and they told me about its health benefits. However I'm thinking about canceling it ‘cause I have a lot going on right now.

    We were referred to ViaCord through a friend in the medical industry. We've done all our due diligence and we've been doing IVF for three years, so we wanted to continue the protection of our child. Everybody at ViaCord was great. They were all friendly and knowledgeable. They helped us get through everything we needed to do. They sent us a kit. We were instructed not to open it, bring it to the hospital, and then the doctors handled everything they had to do. I made a phone call to ViaCord, and they picked it up within a couple hours. It was fairly easy. ViaCord was very easy to work with.

    Banking our baby’s blood cord would make it easier on us and I chose ViaCord because I heard they were very good. My experience with the cord blood specialist during the inquiry and signup process was very good. They were able to answer my questions and met our expectations. The box already came from ViaCord but I'm still trying to work on the paperwork.

    Initially, I wasn't aware this service existed, but I received a call with an offer, and I thought it was a good idea. I did some research online and Viacord had good comments and reviews. So, I decided to trust them and my experience was really good. The rep was clear about everything and asked me several times if I had doubts, and he was very patient. At first, one would think this involved a complicated process with lots of steps, but it was really easy for me. It was also quick and everything was very detailed.

    However, the last contact I had with someone was three months ago when I was five months pregnant. Now that I'm close to my due date, it would be nice if someone calls again to see if everything's ready. I already have the kit at home, but I want to see if there's anything I have to do before my due date besides what I already have done. All in all, I will definitely recommend Viacord. I have already recommend to some of my friends that are pregnant here, too.

    ViaCord had a Black Friday deal going on, and we took advantage of that. Signing up with them was fine. We just got the kit, filled out the paperwork, and then brought it to the hospital. It was pretty easy with the doctors. They knew what to do with it. We were originally supposed to do the tissue and the stem cells, but they forgot to do the tissue. But ViaCord didn't charge us for that, which I can really appreciate. Because I would have been annoyed if our doctor had forgotten that, and then we got charged for it anyway. That's really positive for me, at least. However, it's not cheap, and it can be costly, but it's a great resource.

    The only thing that was frustrating for my husband was that there were a lot of questions, making sure it was all packed up well, and everything was at the hospital. And we don't really know a lot of that stuff. We don't know what is what, and they were asking questions. They were also a little bit late picking it up. But that was not something that was going to ruin it for us. Also, I'm sure they had other pick-ups they had to do. It's expensive, but that's probably an expensive thing to do. I work in healthcare, so I can only imagine the cost of maintaining that kind of facility. There’s an initial fee, and then it's a couple of $300 every year. It's not really that bad. Because you would think it'd be $1,000 a year at least, but it's not.

    We liked that ViaCord had different payment plans for the length of how long we can store the blood for and we liked their pricing. Our rep was wonderful, very helpful, and answered any questions. The communication once we got the kit, where they wanted to make sure that we understood what to do, was really great.

    The only thing was my husband said the hospital staff did not want to touch any part of the kit. There was paperwork inside that was supposed to be filled out. His recommendation would be to make a section that is for the part that the Dad is safely able to touch that so he can fill out ahead of time, and then keep all the sterile stuff separate in the kit so the hospital staff could do their thing. My husband he was like, “Right after she's born, we have to try to figure this kit out, and we didn't wanna touch anything to keep it all sterile” If we had known ahead of time, we could have already had it filled out and ready to go. That aside, I would definitely recommend ViaCord.

    Also, since it was recommended by my doctor, it's something that gives trust and confidence to customers. They mentioned that there are a lot of research for potential cancer, diseases, and even autism like in test trials, not only for a newborn, but also potential siblings, so we wanted to keep the odds high.

    My experience with ViaCord was pretty good. The only thing I didn’t like was the customer service can be a little bit impersonal. They’re such a big company that it’s very generic.

    The salesperson that I got could have been better. I don’t think they knew as much about the process as I would like them to know. They didn’t know how to respond to a very knowledgeable consumer asking questions. I had to do my own research, and that threw me off. They’re supposed to give me information and make it easy for me to buy.

    The kit was fine. It’s easy and very self-explanatory. The doctors knew exactly what to do. It was great. I actually had my sister bank with them. I think as a company, in general, ViaCord has a fairly decent process. Maybe not the best but pretty good.

    The cord blood specialist was great. I dropped the ball on getting us signed up and stuff, and then I didn't prepare for our kit in time.

    I would describe ViaCord as peace of mind, and I don't remember exactly. I think it was $700 for both types of storage. Peace of mind in the event, whether you know something is wrong with your children or not, it is just a safety blanket in the event that something comes up unexpected.

    ViaCord's a little bit expensive compared to other ones that I called, but since I already had my other daughter with them, I went with them again. It was easy to sign up with them, and I had a good experience. I can’t complain. The process with the courier was quick the first time, but this time it was a hassle. The driver said they couldn’t go upstairs, so we had to bring the kit down and find the driver.

    ViaCord was amazing. Customer service was really good. They explained everything about the package first and asked if we had any questions, and they were informative. The only thing was they told us that the package needs to be sent over within two hours of delivery. When we called them, they said, "No. That's not true. It can be 24 hours." It could’ve been more affordable, but other than that everything was great.

The interactions with the specialist were seamless and smooth and the kit was delivered really timely. We used to get proper text messages and emails as to what's going on with the kit and when it arrived at the facility.

    If you think about the long term, it has many benefits. It can come in really handy if there is somebody in your family who really needs those stem cells. You never know when an event like that may happen. It's better to be safe than sorry and it impacts your life in a really big way Even if you are having to spend that kind of money, it's completely worth it.

He also had some cancer in his family. We looked into stem cells and found ViaCord, so we bought the kit from them. It was sent to us at our address then we brought it with us when we went into labor. The doctor handled everything for collection and the courier came and picked it up right away. We just had to call him. We have all three of the children banked.

    ViaCord’s customer service is very good. It was very easy, simple, and convenient with them. They also called ahead of time after I ordered the kit, after we sent the kit to see if we had any questions, and a third time after receiving the kit. With the price, it seems like a lot, but it's not in today's medical times. They sent us an estimate since we don't have my wife under our insurance officially yet. They're waiting, so they sent us a good-faith estimate of her first baby appointment. It was $961 bucks to see a pediatrician to just check her vitals and do a checkup at one-week old. When you think of it that way, it's well worth the investment. It’s $1,200 bucks for the kit, and a couple $100 bucks a year for storage. It’s definitely worth it, so it didn't stop me.

    I first heard about ViaCord when I was pregnant with my son. I was intrigued by the idea that stem cells could be used to solve long-term health conditions that might develop over time. This was my first and only child, so if there was a way to anticipate and protect his health, I wanted to do that.
    My experience with the cord blood representative was great. I went to a seminar, kind of a brunch meeting at a hotel near the hospital where I was doing prenatal training a few years ago. They did a whole presentation about how it worked and the benefits of it, and I was impressed. It was awesome. It was all women, so it was mostly focused on women at the time.
    My husband didn’t go, so I described to him the potential long-term benefits for our son. If there was even a small chance that one of us developed cancer or another difficult disease later in life, those cells could potentially work for us.
    The collection process went incredibly well. It was very easy at the time of birth. The doctor collected the sample and it was sent off. It has been trouble-free. My son is now 12. Every year, the viability of the cells and tissues remains positive as they gather more data, so the useful life of that material continues to extend over time.

    It’s kind of a press-and-forget situation. They handle everything and I get my bill every year on auto pay. I get once or twice a year updates from them on the state of the technology and new applications. I read those and find them very interesting. They don’t over-communicate, and the level of communication is perfect for me.

    I saw the pamphlet at my OB-GYN’s office, did a bit more research on my own, and decided that ViaCord was the best company to go with.

    I spoke with a representative to set up my account and I found all the information I needed on the website and then called to complete the setup. The website is super user-friendly, easy to add all my information and manage what’s needed.

    If my baby ever gets sick in the future, his cord blood can be used to help treat him or benefit his health in some way. That was the most important factor for me. I’ve seen examples online of it helping other families, and that’s exactly what I wanted.

    They explained how the kit works, they sent instructions on how to log in and create an account. It’s very easy to understand and provides all the necessary information. I give the kit to my doctor, they handle their part, and then I call, and someone comes to pick it up from the hospital.

    It was a no-brainer, especially the potential benefits of having it available to my children. I used ViaCord for both of my children. Having their stem cells banked, if something comes up just based on family and personal health history, knowing that it would be available to them was very important to me. I didn't have too many questions, but they've been very responsive and my interactions with them have been wonderful. I'm not in the sciences, but the limited knowledge I have that some conditions and illnesses could arise throughout a person's life, it could have a much brighter outcome if their stem cells were available to them versus trying to get a donor.

    Poorly run company, terrible service, and they make it a huge PIA to get out of your agreement and try and extort you for more fees. I told them before my renewal date that I DID NOT want to renew and they could dispose/discard my sample. My written email should have sufficed, as it does with any other business. They kept demanding I sign a form. The form was nothing special, it was simply a paragraph saying, "Do you want to donate it or do you want to discard it." Months go by where they email and call and I keep saying the same thing.... Discard it. Then they start threatening to send me to collections over $125, despite me saying before my renewal date I don't want to renew, I want it destroyed.

    Response from ViaCord

    Dear Mark,

    We’re sincerely sorry for any frustration or miscommunication you experienced during this process. We understand how important a smooth cancellation experience is, and we regret that this wasn’t as clear as it should have been.

    For compliance reasons, we do require a signed authorization form to process cancellations. Just as paperwork is required when registering for our service, we also require it upon cancellation. While we understand that email confirmation might seem sufficient, this additional step helps us protect both our customers and their stored samples as cancelling an account could have serious implications, should a family ever need their stem cells in the future.

    We do apologize if this requirement wasn’t communicated clearly from the start. We appreciate your honest feedback and will use it to improve how we communicate these steps moving forward. If you have any additional questions, our customer care team is available at (866) 668-4895.

    Sincerely,

    The ViaCord Team

    My husband's in science and we believe that, in the future, there's probably a lot of opportunities, and both of our families have some history of cancer. So, if it's possible, it doesn’t hurt to have some options in the future. And at our OB's office, we got a form which had the ViaCord phone number on it, and our hospital worked with that company in the past. I haven't given birth yet. I'm still pregnant, so we haven't done any of it yet. We just got the kit sent to our home and we'll take it to the hospital. I knew a lot about it already, so the rep just said we'd get that kit sent home, explained the options and the price. Just things I had questions about. But I was aware of the whole process and everything. Since it hasn't happened yet, I don't know if we'll get enough stem cells, but so far, the process has been very smooth and nice.

    Our only worry about this whole thing is if the yearly fee increases, we would be pretty bummed about that. So far, the price is good and it's doable for us. But if they're gonna increase the storage fees in the future, it would be bad for us. Because we signed up for something with a certain price and amount of money, and if it gets way more expensive, we don't know if it's a good deal anymore. But we knew this was an investment that we were willing to make and it was okay.

    We heard about ViaCord through our surrogacy agency and a couple of our friends who have done it. But it turns out we’re not able to do it because the kit was not delivered in time and our baby decided to come out three weeks early.

    The specialist was very informative and patient. One of the pros of the program is the chance that maybe in the future your kid could use these stem cells and everyday science is developing new technologies. There are X number of uses that these stem cells could be used for and you don’t have to keep them for 18 years. Maybe after two or three years, you can make a decision to transfer these to a public bank instead of a private bank. But unfortunately, we can’t do that.

    Banking our baby’s cord blood is a little bit of an insurance policy with the potential of helping our kids, ourselves and our extended family, if need be. At the time, a lot of our choice was based on price. Everything was expensive and five years ago, ViaCord was reasonable. Everything was very easy with the signup process. We've used ViaCord for our three children and as the technology keeps advancing, there are new offerings from ViaCord.

    The one thing that caught us off guard was, there's some sort of genetic screening that now takes place. So, when the labs receive the cord blood, they could do a genetic screening on that blood, at the time of birth. We called ViaCord three weeks before the baby was born and that wasn't communicated to us. So, when we had the baby, they confirmed that they received the cord blood where it's gonna be stored. We had just gotten home and they threw that out at us. They said it's an additional fee but they need to know within the next two hours. So, we didn't have a lot of time to contemplate.

    Everything has been great with ViaCord. I reached out to Amy and to another person for a different company, and Amy got back to me right away. She told me about the webinar and gave me all the information. I was in a time crunch so I appreciated her getting back to me really quickly. They were also able to overnight the kit and the pick up went very well. When I called, they came within an hour or two. I was in Recovery and had just gotten into my room. As soon as I got into the room, the guy was there to pick the kit up. It was a pretty smooth process. Everything was straightforward and quick. However, I expressed to Amy that I have a daughter that we wanted to use the cord blood for, and she gave me the information, the link and everything to do. I put in the form, but I don't think anyone has ever got back to me on that part.

    When I was looking into storage and what to do with the placenta, ViaCord was the first one to come up. I spoke to a rep in the beginning and she was very nice but I haven't spoken to her since. I called recently, but the girl didn't do anything because I already did it. ViaCord is expensive but every family should do it. It's 100% worth it because you never know what life can throw at you and you're better safe than sorry. I looked it up myself and saw that stem cells could help with severe autism. It could also help family members. There are so many things now with the technology that ViaCord is doing and it's still ever advancing. It could get better and better. We should have online logins though. I don't have one and it's already been four years since I've been with them.

    The benefit of banking my baby’s blood stem cells outweighed the risk, which was why I decided on it. I did a webinar with ViaCord and when I inquired about it, it was a good and easy experience. There was a direct line of communication.

    My OBGYN was hosting a seminar thing with ViaCord. I listened in on it and since it would be my last child, I decided that I was going to go for it. They explained what the benefits were, how the process worked from start to finish with sending the box out and the kit, when to bring it into the hospital, and what happened after that. They also went over pricing, how important it was, and all the benefits to it. It was a pretty thorough seminar. I received the kit about a week ago and I still have 2.5 months before I have my baby. But so far, ViaCord has been very easy to deal with. Their rep in Long Island is very friendly and educated. She answers all my questions right away and she's on top of things.

    We had seen some articles online that made ViaCord seem a little bit more reputable than some of the other companies we were looking at. We set it up online and it was easy and convenient.

    I did a bit of research, and most of the brands that I checked, including ViaCord, were quite well-known. Since ViaCord was the one that my clinic was partnering with, I went ahead with them. I did everything online and it was quite simple. They sent me a link and I created an account. It took me five minutes, then yesterday, I completed the questionnaire about the health of the mother. It was very quick to set up, and they offered a $20 amazon gift card to go into a webinar.

    I just started the process, and I haven't had my baby yet, but in the webinar, they gave a lot of examples of potential uses for the cord blood stem cells. It's a bit uncertain in the sense of people not knowing if the baby has some condition that they will be able to use their own tissues, but maybe it can be used for a brother. I'm always about prevention and taking precautions, so I'd rather have it there in case I need it than need it later and not have it. It was something that I had to decide on. The moment the baby is born, they have to take the sample. I don't have that many options to think about it later, so I just went ahead with it.

    The hospital that we worked through works with ViaCord and we're doing their sibling program. My son had a bone marrow transplant, and we didn't pay anything for this because it's for his testing for a sibling to be a potential donor. The process was super easy. I got the forms and turned them in, then ViaCord sent the stuff to me. We haven't had a baby yet, so I haven't done anything else, but so far, they've done great.
