After hesitation with our first two kids we decided to give our third child the opportunity to bank her blood. The entire process was simple, straightforward and the staff were pleasant and answered our questions immediately. In the birthing suite the staff all knew what to do and we barely noticed the collection. It did not affect our birth plan. My husband signed the final paperwork with the help of a nurse and off the kit went. Overall the ease of the experience and the peace of mind was extremely worthwhile for us.

We chose Create after much research for a couple reasons : They were competitively priced, offered a couple delivery options AND the nurse practitioner answered all our questions PROMPTLY via email.

The process was smooth and we have been banking with Create for the last 3 years with no issues. From the initial conversations to the delivery of the kit and getting everything we need, despite an emergency C-section, we've been pleased with the service offered by Create.

The Cord blood and Peristem banking process was totally painless and involved no effort on my end. Because my labour was so fast, we ended up forgetting our banking kit in the car but didn't need to worry as CReATe is prepared for moments like this and proactively provides select hospitals with Emergency Collection Kits. The doctor handled the harvesting process, my husband packed up the kit and called for the medical courier and off it went. The harvesting of the cord blood and Peristem cells didn't interfere with my delivery in any way, in fact, I hardly knew it was happening. All in all, the experience was unmemorable, in a good way. I was more than happy with the experience I had working with CReaTe. Their customer service is excellent, they answered all of my questions, provided me with tons of information to help make my decision to bank with them easier, and helped me through each step of the process to ensure everything went smoothly and required no stress or extra effort on my end. I would happily recommend their services and I continue to do so whenever someone asks.

We trust CREATE with our children's medical future because they have a state of the art facility and world class staff of medical professionals. CREATE gives us the piece of mind of knowing that if we need cord blood for our children in the future, we can count on CREATE to ensure that our cord blood stem cells are in the best possible care whether it's next month or 20 years from now.
