Great space to give back. Friendly staff. Knowledgable. Patient. Feels good to give. I love that Red Cross let’s you know where your blood is going after. It makes a difference to know who you’ve positively impacted.

I believe in giving platelets but wish the experience was better at this facility. The last two times I donated I was left alone for two hours. My hands were tied down and I couldn’t get help with my blanket or my video. I sat there just wishing someone would be considerate enough to check on me. I’ll give again but I can’t say anything good about the staff here.

This is my 3rd Platelet donation at this facility, all of them excellent experiences. This was my 16th donation this year, trying to get to 24. I had 3 bad experiences in a row at my local donation center. I am just trying to successfully donate a triple and maybe some plasma. I explained my recent frustration at the other donation center and Dawn took excellent care of me. Although it is a longer drive, it is worth it to get this excellent care. Thank you.

My first experience here was fine. Second was horrible. They emailed me multiple times about blood supply levels being historically low, so I signed up for an appointment. I showed up early, and all of the entrances were closed. I called their help line and they tried to help me. They couldn’t get a hold of anyone. Clearly didn’t have a low enough blood shortage to let me into the building. They told me sorry, they had no way of getting someone to let me in.

Made an appointment because they call and e-mail me everyday. They proceed to cancel my appointment a few days later. I was attending with my fiancé and one of our friends. Our friend couldn’t make it so he told me to just take his appointment since they cancelled mine (probably due to over scheduling) I show up 15 minutes early and tell them what happened and they wouldn’t let me take his appointment. So instead of letting someone donate in place of a person who was not coming they said I couldn’t. I had to get a babysitter, drive to another state and pay a toll all to get here and tell me “no”. This is the 4th time I have tried to donate and Red Cross has messed up. I’m so done with it. Will not be attending anymore blood drives.

I went to donate with my husband today and ended up leaving after an hour with them saying to reschedule because it would be better for them. Beth was awful. She literally spoke to my husband so rudely the entire time. She had his id in her hand and inputted his information in incorrectly then yelled at him as to why she didn’t get it right. We were there for 30 minutes before we finally went back to ask what we should do for our appointments. They rudely asked us if we signed in. We told them we had no idea where to sign in and finally one woman came to turn on the computers for us. She seemed like the only nice person there, unfortunately we didn’t get her name. If they’re so busy I don’t get why the constant emails and phone calls. That location definitely does not care for donors.

I’m a regular plasma donor here. I’ll admit, there are things they could do better like notify me in advance if they know a technician won’t be in or the plasma machine is down so I don’t waste the trip to the donation center…but most of the time I get to know the staff of phlebotomists well and get to know them on a personal level. I definitely recommend scheduling an appointment online or in the Blood Donor app, as well as completing the RapidPass ahead of time, but there could still be a wait so be patient. It’s a wonderful thing for you to be in good enough health to donate and save lives, I hope you won’t be discouraged even if you get deferred for low iron like me or some other reason. I love meeting other donors or seeing other regulars…it always encourages me to keep coming back even if I don’t personally know the recipients of my donations. I appreciate the effort of the American Red Cross to notify me of where my donations are going, and the apparel I’ve “earned” for my donations—I wear them with pride and as a point to tell more people about why I donate!

Received a mailer saying that my AB- blood was needed. Made an appointment with the center a few days ago. When I got to the center, I was told the donation center was closed for the next 2 days. I drove 20 minutes out of my way to donate and turned down work plans to donate, and didn’t even receive a notice that the center was going to be closed. Guess they didn’t need my blood that badly. Won’t be making appointments with this center again. Instead will wait until a drive is near me. Disappointing…

First time donating at this location (May, 2020) and my only issue was finding the entrance and that was probably just due to ongoing construction. Everything else was very quick and professional with a very polite and kind staff experience. I have already scheduled my next appointment at this location as well.
