Above and Beyond

"We decided to do stem cell banking for the health and safety of our son, as well as to benefit from the advances of stem cells. Netcells had excellent client service and went above and beyond to meet our needs with efficiency. From the moment we requested a quote, to the date of collection, Netcells was there every step of the way. Answering all our questions as well as guiding us every single step. We feel secure knowing our son's stem cells are stored in the safety of Netcells lab and their wonderful and knowledgeable staff."

Reinhard and Luzjaane Gulyas
Straight Forward and Easy
 

Straight Forward and Easy

"We had a chat with our doctor who advised us that stem cell banking would be a good idea with the recent and potential advances in this field. I think it just makes sense and is a small insurance to pay. Everything was straight forward and easy. I really like the WhatsApp communication and the fact that we never had to wait or wonder about anything."

Johannes Coetzee

"Our main reason for banking stem cells was for peace of mind and the possibility to assist should Lerie become ill. There is so much to be done with stem cells so it is sort of an insurance policy. The prompt responses to whatever query stood out to us. Excellent and professional service. They go above and beyond."

Incredibly Helpful and Responsive

"Our main reason for banking Oliver’s stem cells was it is an insurance policy against many illnesses. We pray we never need them but have them just in case. With medical advancements who knows what they will be able to do with stem cells in 20 years time. The service we received was so personalised. The team were so helpful in ensuring our kit was ready for collection and had all the necessary stuff in it. Netcells are incredibly helpful and responsive. "

Bronwyn Haskell

"Roelof’s mother's family (and herself) has a history of cancer and with that in mind, if the likelihood exists that something were to happen with Roelof where stemcell treatment could be useful, we would like to ensure that it is an option. Netcells' link with Discovery medical and also their responsiveness to enquiries stood out for us. We are grateful that, even though we almost ran out of time to action this, Netcells went above and beyond to ensure our peace of mind in receiving our kit as soon as possible."

Journey has been amazing

"We decided to bank Matteo’s stem cells to allow us/him access to further health options should the need arise in the future. Netcells’ transparency and open communication every step of the stem cell banking journey has been amazing. The Netcells Team were always willing to assist and answer any questions without hesitation. Banking Matteo’s stem cells has been seamless, supportive, and extremely efficient."

Excellent Customer Service
 

Excellent Customer Service

"The main reason we decided to bank Emma's stem cells is peace of mind. We did not want to be put in a situation one day where we would need them and did not have them. We received constant updates and prompt communication from the Netcells team. They guided us through the whole process and made it so easy for us. They had excellent customer service - we were guided every step of the way."

Seamless, Positive, and Secure
 

Seamless, Positive, and Secure

"As an OBGYN myself I’ve been exposed to many thoughts on stem cell banking and the opinions of different patients so I thought about this long and hard. I concluded that there was no reason not to. For me the cord tissue was key as the cells harvested could provide cartilage for a knee injury, help with a burns wound or even be used for brain injury repair. Knowing that my babies have these options available to them is priceless."

"I like that Netcells has been around for 15 years which makes me feel more secure about its longevity, and that they have a successful sister company in the UK. We used Netcells for our first child and the experience was seamless, positive, and secure so the decision was easy for the second and third."

Harriet Thompson
Nothing Short of Exceptional

"After doing thorough research and our friends referrals, banking our babies stem cells an easy decision fuelled by our desire to safeguard his future health and well-being. This decision gives us peace of mind and empowers us with a proactive approach towards our child’s future health. Netcells provided comprehensive support and guidance throughout the entire process, with our initial enquiry being only 5 days before birth. Their team displayed professionalism, attention to details, commitment, expertise, and genuine care. Our experience with Netcells has been nothing short of exceptional, providing us with peace of mind and confidence in securing our baby's future health through their outstanding service and support."

Marcelle and Louis Malan
Quick and Efficient
 

Quick and Efficient

"As an interracial couple, the chance of get a match for stem cells from the global bank is a lot lower. Therefore, banking our babies stem cells was a no brainer. The ease of the service stood out to us. Next Biosciences was quick and efficient with the delivery of the stem cell collection kit, and the collection process after our baby was born was simple. "

"The main reason for us wanting to bank Noah’s stem cells is for peace of mind, and that 'what if' this or that happens, then we are covered, and we have his stem cells to fall back on.

Help secure our son's healthy future

"We wanted to help secure our son's healthy future should he become ill. Our firstborn, Colton was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at two years old and was told it was autoimmune, so we did not do stem Cells for him. We would like to invest in the future health of our secondborn, Brody, from any illnesses and hope that stem cells will help lead us to live a healthy life for Brody and our firstborn."
