I just had my transplant at CBCI. CBCI does far more transplants than CU, it is not even close in terms of numbers, and the success rate with CBCI is probably 50% to 100% better than CU at this time.

CBCI has an excellent team of doctors, nurses, and support staff. I have been nothing but happy with all of them.

I have met almost all of the doctors on the CBCI team, there are 9 of them, plus when you go in for transplant, they have a very good infectious disease team that comes in and visits you daily to be there to take quick action for any potential problems that arise.

While i was in, I contracted a Klebsiella infection, within 30 minutes of my first infection, I was on antibiotics, had a number of blood tests run, and was on quick surveillance for the night. I was fortunate to have this level of care as Klebsiella is a pretty serious infection. I credit the team and their procedures for my success to this point, I am now at day +53.

Please feel free to contact me if you have more questions about CBCI.
