Some people make it sound like it’s impossible to donate because of the “high standards.”

I am very impressed by this donation unit, I stood outside this morning from 700am to 745am when it clearly stated on the app and the front door they’re open from 700am to 700pm! I literally froze,and had to unthaw!! Hands were numb and all, and they had the audacity to deny me from donating because my blood pressure was high, because I stood outside in the cold for close to a hour!!!!!!!

Rarely does it take more than 5 minutes to start my donation. They got a super friendly & experienced crew. Their aim is always on point

It took me a while to get everything sorted out to verify that I am an eligible donor, but once I was cleared it’s been hassle-free. The staff are friendly and the lines always move quickly. I’ve had zero issues with needle placement and have had a comfortable experience with each donation.

Great location and “okay” place to donate but the wait times are ridiculous here at times and a lot of the staff seem to be new, I keep seeing new faces when I come here so I’m assuming they have a high turnover rate. Normally I wouldn’t care about people being new but they messed up twice out of the 7 times I’ve donated here. Came in again after they messed up and waited 45 minutes just to see the nurse to confirm my arm is okay to donate, I walked out by then cause I lost my patience waiting. Also came in to donate one time 20 minutes before they closed and got guilt tripped down by the staff hard for coming in late, (they wanted to go home) It made me feel really uncomfortable. The other few donations I did went fine and smooth though, this place has potential but they got some improving to do.

So my husband and I have now attempted to donate here 3 times within the past week. The wait time was fairly quick and the staff was freindly. However our of all three times neither me nor my husband were able to donate. We followed their advice, drank tons of fluids, ate healthy, stopped eating certain things we were told to stay away from. For me it was my iron was too low by 1 point the first time, as well as the second. So I started taking an iron supplement, Wich then on the third try sent my iron level DOWN 4 points! I just feel like there is no way to pass their guidelines. I’m upset at all the time and money it has cost us trying to help save lives only to be continuously turned away. Very disappointing. Left feeling very defeated and upset

When you don’t have to work on weekends, and you don’t open on weekdays until 10 and 11, I shouldn’t continously hear how “people won’t stop coming in,” or about your co worker drama. Nobody wants to hear about it. You have a very low volume of people coming in here compared to other donation centers, and customers are the reason this establishment is open and the reason you have job. You will NEVER walk into a Walgreens, a restaurant etc, and hear them complaining about their employees or customers. Handle it behind closed doors, and stop being lazy. You have donors coming in who just did hard labor in the heat, and here you are whining about doing simple tasks. The guys that work on the donor floor are great, but the ladies need to stop with the gossip and complaining. I am glad I’m done with my $100 donations, because I will no longer donate here. The wait is too long as well. When there are 8-12 people donating, I shouldn’t have to stand in the second line for an hour. This place is unorganized and irritating.

Other than my inability to use the screening machine efficiently, I enjoyed my 1st experience donating plasma and am looking forward to giving more. Everyone was really nice and my phlebotomist (Sean) was knowledgeable and reassuring.

I have not donated at this facility but the hours are ridiculous! How can anyone that works an 8-5 job possibly become a donor? My son was donating for a few months and then the hours changed so he is no longer able to. The hours needs to be expanded at least two nights a week to accommodate those potential donors or take donors until 6:00 – yes that will mean that workers will need to stay longer but isn’t the idea of a plasma donation center to have as many donors as possible?

Let’s be Real
I have donated Plasma many times over the past 20 years. I’ve been to 3 different places in this time frame. I’d have to say that CSL has been the worst of those 3. I’m not going to bash any of the Staff because they are always nice when I see them but I am not impressed with their skills when it comes to putting a needle in my arm. Let’s just say it’s been an ongoing issue. I will no longer be donating Plasma. Not at CSL or anywhere else for that matter.
