What Our Clients Say

Any organization is only as good as its clients believe it is. The following testimonials outline why cord blood banking matters to our clients, and why they chose NECBB.

Michelle Costa, Fall River, MA

“My daughter Abigail’s life has no cost, so the opportunity to save her cord blood was worth it to me. If we never have to use the stem cells, this would still be the best investment.

I would tell anyone thinking about banking their cord blood that it offers a second chance at saving their baby’s life should any disease occur. NECBB made it easy and affordable for us. I wouldn’t have done it any other way.”

“I wish I’d saved my son’s cord blood when he was born, because there are so many benefits. My husband is diabetic, so knowing that we have Ava’s stem cells stored gives us peace of mind.

I looked at a number of cord blood banks, but ultimately chose NECBB because Lauren Webber answered my questions completely, walked me through the process thoroughly and made me feel very comfortable with my choice. It can be overwhelming, but Lauren made it easy to understand and steered me through the process.

Ultimately, cord blood banking offers great potential. If someone told you there was a technology that could save your child’s life, wouldn’t you want to use it? For the cost of a few cups of coffee each week, it’s been worth it to us.”

Alison Johnson, Atlanta, GA

“As a human embryonic stem cell researcher at the University of Georgia, I understand the potential cord blood stem cells hold for possible use for any type of cellular disorder or disease in the future.

I chose NECBB after researching a number of options and meeting with a representative at a scientific meeting I attended. Among the issues that made a difference to me was that NECBB is a completely private cord blood bank. Banks that have both private and public components often sell their cells, which is something I didn’t want. Also, NECBB started as a cryogenic laboratory first, not as a company designed only to store cells, like so many of its competitors. Knowing that NECBB was involved in research makes me feel confident that they understand the importance of proper culturing and maintenance of my baby’s cord blood cells.

In 35 or 40 years, the possibility that my child can use her cord blood cells to fight disease is very great, given the recent scientific breakthroughs we have experienced and continue to experience. I chose to buy a used crib that she will use for a year and put the money I saved into banking my baby’s cord blood cells, which potentially could save her life. To me, there was no other choice—that’s how much I believe in this emerging area of medicine.”

Tami Antonini, Phoenix, AZ

“We chose to bank our cord blood because we wanted to be able to help protect our daughters, including our older daughter and even possibly ourselves, in the future from certain diseases that may be cured by stem cells. We chose NECBB because it offered the same benefits and certifications as other cord blood storage banks with a lower cost and better customer service.

The process was very easy – from our initial phone call to the application process and initial payment, to our receiving of the collection kit and information packet. At the hospital, we handed the collection kit over to our nurse, the blood was collected and we called FedEx. We were informed once the samples reached NECBB. The entire process was very simple.

I’ve told my family and friends that the benefits of cord blood storage are well worth the cost given the life-saving potential. That’s why it mattered to me.”

Kristy Miller, Cave Creek, AZ

“My husband and I have been amazed by all the stem cell research we’ve been reading. We felt that medical technology is advancing at such a rapid rate that having our child’s cord blood could be beneficial in the future. With our family medical history, we knew that cord blood banking was the right choice.

Among the reasons we chose NECBB for our cord blood banking was that they didn’t use any third parties for the processing or the storage, and they made the collection and delivery of our cord blood a painless procedure. Our doctor was well informed and the collection and transportation to the NECBB lab was effortless.

The benefits of cord blood banking far exceed the cost and with consistent medical research and innovation, it could be an important asset when fighting future illness.”

Donna Hoener, Florence, MA

“Banking stem cells is such a marvelous opportunity. Alzheimer’s runs in our family and, in the next generation, stem cells will hopefully be useful in treating this disease, among other conditions.

NECBB has been remarkably efficient, easy to work with and has given my family and my twin sister’s family peace of mind. I have already recommended your services to my birthing classmates.”
