What a wonderful experience! I’m so grateful that I was able to get in within 24 hours of walking through the door.

I’ve been donating here for some time, because it’s very close to my work, and most of the employees are kind and pleasant people. However, one of the managers is very much not. I feel sorry for all the others who have to work with her. She’s the only one who has ever butchered my veins attempting to start my platelet donation, and she blamed me instead of taking responsibility for her ineptitude. She showed no concern at all for the pain she was causing. It was upsetting, but not enough to stop me from coming back. After all, I can always ask that someone else start me.

This happened last year and I forgot to write a review about it until now that I am looking to donate again and it seems this location has many available appointments compared to others. I had made an appointment and like many others in the reviews, showed up on time for my appointment and was turned away by an incredibly rude lady who gave me no good reason for rejecting my very valid appointment except for “we’re full.” Why would you have more appointment slots than you can handle? It was such a disappointing experience and I haven’t donated blood since then because of it even though I’m O+ and it is greatly needed. I was going to try again and came to the reviews to see this habit hasn’t changed so I think I’m good, I don’t have time for this.

The staff are kind people who work hard to make people comfortable. They’ve only been really busy once and they still took good care of me. Impressed how they work as a team.

I went to donate blood yesterday (02/19/2023) and had a great experience. Shout out to the team on staff yesterday. I have small veins so its difficult for people to find them, but they found a way and reassured me that I wasn’t a bother. There was also a person next to me who was super anxious but the a few staff members gave her comfort, held her hand, gave her an ice pack, etc.

I attempted to donate blood earlier today and was greeted with two receptionists who had made up their mind about my appointment before I even said a word. I had scheduled an appointment earlier in the afternoon and was told that I didn’t have an appointment even though I had my rapid pass ready. I understand that it was an appointment late in the day and you want to go home, but to put in literally 0 effort for someone going out of their way to donate blood is just disappointing. If you’re going to put in the effort to donate blood, don’t do it here.

I showed up to give blood. The lady who administer the blood donation was very tired. She must have yawned 20/30 times in my presence through the intake and procedure. The actually blood donation was a nightmare. She inserted the needle into a bad vein and she needed to replaced by another phlebotomist. It was just a terrible experience. Go somewhere else honestly, the incentives are bad here because the experience is disappointing

New edited: After the complaints, I received the call back and someone talked to me and apologized. On Feb 11 I donated again. I did not pass the pulse test at the beginning, and the staffs are patient to wait me calm down. Then I passed the pulse test and started the 2 unit platelet donation. They assigned the experienced staff and used the single arm. The needle injection is quick and successful.

I attempted to donate whole blood today and had an appointment time confirmed. When I showed up I was told it wasn’t in their “system” (which mind you was a piece of paper). The receptionist went to ask the nurse and she refused to take anyone without an appointment. I showed the receptionist that my appointment was confirmed and thus I did have an appointment but they refused to allow me to donate. Seems like a pretty questionable system and practice to turn away an O negative donor.

I am incessantly inundated by Red Cross with pleas for blood donations and every recent attempt to schedule an appointment at this donation center has resulted in day-of cancellation. My last attempt, they waited to tell me in person (after I had made the trip to the donation center) that they would not be able to facilitate my donation. It seems that the ‘critical’ need for blood donations isn’t enough motivation for the Red Cross to honor their appointments. I will continue my attempts to donate, but I am not impressed with this donation center.
