5hr wait time to be met by aggressive and lazy management. This woman here in the picture said she couldn’t help me. She was too busy ordering 30 whoppers fit for a King for her coworker Bri

Had an appointment for 1015 today. Been sitting for an hr and a half and still haven’t been called back. I understand that some of us need the money but the company seems to make me feel like I have no life. Something has to be done about staffing also. The waiting room has been slap full since I’ve been here.

Just walked out after sitting for 4 hours waiting (the guy next to me had been there for 5 and still had not been stuck). So sad to see something so needed have such an understaffed center. The staff present are obviously doing their jobs efficiently, but the amount of staff vs. the needed amount is grossly underestimated.

Why won’t you all hire more staff I’m interested in Donor intake to fit around my school schedule I’m Available ASAP. You are driving your wonderful staff AWAY they still remain positive and DO NOT mistreat donors but they are extremely exhausted it’s a shame you have 87-100+ donors from 1p-Close and only one Intake specialist PLEASE DO BETTER . The staff you have here which is getting slimmer by the day DO NOT RUN THEM AWAY. Also the staff on the backend works extremely hard looks like non stop trying to get donors in and out Val works hard she is always here and working. You really have an awesome staff.

The service here is pretty lousy. I don’t know why you have to make an appointment if you’re just going to wait at least two hours anyway. They just herd people in like cattle and take their time because they just think if these people had anywhere important to be they wouldn’t be here. All they have to do is book more people, it’s not that hard. Do that and people wouldn’t have to wait half a day. And all I am going to get from writing this review is the same generic corporate response that will ultimately lead to nothing.

Grateful to Grifols. The staff is great and professional… the wait, though. If you have an appointment at 5 something pm. You will be leaving between 8 and 10pm. I have heard that once upon a time, it was possible to come in and leave within an hour or so. Maybe just over that. (The amount of time it takes to go through the actual plasma donating process, roughly.) If the wait time were a little better, this place would get a five star rating from me. Again, fantastic staff. The staff really makes this location worth while. Shout out to Carl. He’s kind and professional and patient and all of that. I’ve seen him deal with people who are feeling frustrated, no doubt exhausted himself. And he was kind enough to make me laugh a little bit when I was feeling anxious and it was affecting my pulse. He could have easily just… said “oh, well.” You know? And there are others, of course, when are pretty neat human beings! And I’m thankful I can earn some grocery money. But the wait makes me want to say forget it. I’ll lose weight, after all .

3 times now I’ve wasted time, gas, and money driving from Lake City to Gainesville to donate, only to arrive and have to wait hours before I’m called to the booth and get rejected by incompetent, lazy, and careless workers. My sleeve rolled and bunched up under the cuff causing inaccurate readings. Among many other inconvenient irritating reasons, this place is very unprofessional, i will not be returning. And I will encourage all others I know who donate at this facility, to leave their opinions and reviews on the website as well. DO NOT DONATE AT THIS FACILITY. I encourage you to consider other facilities in gainesville. Best not to waste your time and gas dealing with this headache of a place.

Never answer their phones, give false positive test but do not offer the lab results to you, the wait is 2-4.hours just to donate and just disappointing. I don’t know why they would have you make an appointment if you can’t be seen for at that time scheduled. You can never get through their phone lines no one ever answers. The manager has been very good and most of the staff is as well but it’s understaffed and they need to hire more employees if not the good ones that you have will look for other employment the place is in very bad shape and it needs help from their corporate people find them more workers before you lose the good ones that you have and lose a lot of your clients your competitor around the corner has been taking quite a few of them away from you

I was in today and it was not good. One the waiting was horrible, there was 10 people waiting at the front desk waiting to be checked in it took them 45mins to get to us. 2 I’m a big girl with fibromyalgia, when they checked my blood pressure they used a small cuff and it was so tight that it caused me to bruise really bad. I feel like I’ve been hit by a baseball bat. I told them that it was too tight that it was causeing me so much pain that it made my pressure really high to where I could not donate.
