We will all need help from someone at one point of our lives. Donating blood is a big help for someone that is in trouble. This place is very nice, the staff makes you feel very relaxed and comfortable. There is a snack bar . There are a couple of nice waiting areas. Please donate when ever you have time.

I donated blood 4 times in a row at this center, each time professional and uneventful. I recommended the center to friends. The last time was so incredibly off putting thanks to a rude staff member that I will never go back. I’m still confused about what I could have done to provoke her.

I have never had any issues here, I started donating about a year ago and I come back whenever they call to remind me that I’m eligible to come back. There’s no reason (for most people) not to donate blood, even if it is at another location.

Everyone should donate blood and get on the list so when someone needs yours you can step up to the plate. That is what brought me here today.

I try and donate blood every 8 weeks, but if something comes up, it’s easy to reschedule online. I ❤️ to attend the service is well organized, most of the time is faster if you walk in very early and you are out in less than an hour. When scheduling an appointment, it seems you are longer at the site. Either way, it’s a very nice environment and very professional.

We donate every 8 weeks and this was our first time at this location. We usually go to the one on Shaw. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to donate blood this time, but bae was able to. This facility was so beautiful and the greeter was so lovely and attentive to us. Would definitely go back!

The wait time before I even saw a nurse was approx. 20 minutes and I had an appointment. Once the interview started things went pretty quick. Then it happened. Sat down. Girl inserted the needle. Went through the vain. She had to pull it out to get the blood to flow. I though the need was going to come out my elbow. Half way through the draw the blood stopped flowing. This is where things got interesting. The nurse started fishing for the vain again. Talk about pain. I finally told her enough of that. Pull it out. She did. For the next 5 to 6 days my arm turned every color that is known to man kind. The bruise started at the crease (Elbow Area) in my arm and went all the way up to almost the top of my bicep. It was wide enough that is covered my arm from the outside to the inside. The pain was with me for approx. 3 to 4 days. I have been giving blood for years and have never had anything like this happen before.

I didn’t time it, but the wait time seemed long. Once I was called and placed in an interview booth, I had to wait another few minutes for an RN to interview me. Total wait time was approximately 45 minutes. I was disappointed. Thank goodness, I’m just visiting a relative; I’m from another state. The snack room was unsupervised, so I was grateful that I was able to binge on junk food, which included ice cream. Wow!

I’ve donated blood, plasma, and platelets for over 40 years, at many different locations. This donation center is one of the most comfortable and has great employees. They nearly always have some kind of nice gift for donating like a t-shirt or coupon for a lunch or pint of ice cream. (Not that I donate just for the SWAG bag; hehe!)

Got in right away. After taking all the vitals -I took answered all the questions on the sign in. After I was done I sat there for 20+ mins. no one. I walked around trying to find anyone. Finally someone saw me and we when back to the room. She started out with all the same questions— I told her we did all this with someone else. She was VERY rude and got mad. I told her I wanted to see her supervisor … She just left. I finally told someone else and she just said oh well. I walked out and will never be back,,,,I have given over 5 gals at this PLACE!!!
