The front office, lady was sweet and helped me with the check in process. She brought me to the back room to prepare for the donation. I appreciated her dearly.

My first visit was near a holiday so it might be why the visit was not very pleasant. I also assume they were short staffed. The head nurse was not very kind to employees or those donating…not a friendly voice at all. My donation was about an hour in the chair..not whole blood..and once I was stuck I was left alone the whole time I bled. No one checked on me. This is very disconcerting to say the least. Two of the employees were friendly but only in my attempts to engage them. In any case I plan to return in hopes that I can give a better rating as I do believe this is a very worthy cause.

They tested my blood, which is fine and normal. But then they called me and said I was positive for Hep B but we’re awaiting confirmatory testing. Confirm came out negative but they still said I had to wait 6 months to donate again. Lol? Do you want my blood or not?

I’ve been donating here regularly (monthly or more, since I give platelets) for about seven years now. Not every experience is great every time, but overall the staff are friendly and professional.

I get it, we are basically cattle to be used and sent packing. “Ugly bags of mostly water” to quote a Star Trek line. That is how I feel going to the Columbia, MD donation center. I had an appointment for double red and arrived a few minutes early, was greeted pleasantly by the volunteer at the front desk and sent to sit down. I did so quietly in the only waiting area seat available (middle of three) and waited my turn. What happened from there was a master class in passive aggressive hostility. I think there was only one person in-processing donators and over the next 20 minutes or so that person would pass me closer and closer to check who was next and I kept trying to reduce my footprint smaller and smaller until my feet were directly under my knees and still she passed so close the last time that the cuff of my pant leg flapped and I felt the strong draft of air up my pant leg. It was also now very clear that she was passing me over for newer arrivals as the person she selected had literally just arrived and sat down. We never spoke so I don’t know what was going on, however I felt unwelcome and disrespected, so I got up, asked the volunteer to cancel my appointment and left.

It’s on the fourth floor. When you walk in there should be a Wells Fargo bank to your left. Go to the elevator and press 4 and it will be right in front of you.

I’ve not donated anywhere else since high school….I’m waaaay beyond that now. I’ve not received anything but the best service/reception here. My most recent donation was Double Red. Appt was for 9 a.m. I arrived 5 minutes early and was out by 10:10. Charlise was incredibly kind and shared her knowledge with me as I went through the process. All the staff was respectful and kind during my donation period.

I’ve had a horrible experience the other day with the Columbia location of Red Cross blood donation. I wasn’t planning on writing a review but I had a giant hematoma at the blood draw site for a couple of days after my donation and I’d like to now share some of the negative experiences that led to this.
