Nikki Khan
Nikki stored with us for her daughter Nadia who was born in February 2006. Nikki went into nursing straight after school and has been a practising midwife ever since – for over twenty years now having followed in her Mother’s footsteps. Nikki had been a midwife for seventeen years before she gave birth to her own child and feels she garnered a very useful insight into the whole ‘child-birth’ experience.
Nikki told us more about why she decided to store with Smart Cells.
Why did you decide to store your baby’s stem cells?
For Family Health Concerns – Main ones of which are Cancer, MS & Type 1 Diabetes.
What factors helped you to choose Smart Cells to store your baby’s umbilical cord blood stem cells?
Following the research we did there was none better than Smart Cells.
What differentiates Smart Cells from the other private umbilical cord blood stem cell storage companies?
In 2005/2006 Smart Cells had NO rivals & still does not as far as we are concerned!
What was it like working with Smart Cells?
Personally met both Mr & Mrs. Ahmed who are delightful, in fact all questions & concerns were answered in full.
What did you like most about us?
Your very unique, professional and personable attitudes.
Did everything work as you had expected it to?
To a tee – no problems at all. The midwives at Chelsea &Westminster hospital, where my daughter was born, were completely ‘au fait’ with collecting the umbilical cord blood and did not get in the way of a collection taking place.
What obstacle would have prevented you from using our service?
If Smart Cells would not have supplied all the superb equipment in the manner it did.
What would you say to a friend or colleague who was thinking of using Smart Cells?
Without a doubt it is expensive, but there is absolutely no substitute!
Would you recommend this service to others? If so, why?
I always do! I am a ‘National’ Media Midwife and represent numerous national household products (such as Infacol, Sudocrem, Dettol and Seven Seas) and as both a Lawyer and an Expert Midwife, people are hopefully influenced by the ‘choices’ I make. I would recommend this service simply because Smart Cells think of the customer first and their needs and adapt the package accordingly.
Is there anything else you wish to add?
I would have no hesitation recommending Smart Cells to anyone potentially giving birth – especially if they have any historical family health concerns.
