The parking is horrible. The lines are too narrow to allow a small sized car door to open wide enough for an adult to get out. I watched multiple people squeeze out of their cars. Just because the city says you can stripe a lot with narrow parking stalls doesn’t mean you have to. Mostly middle aged people and older come here why make it inconvenient to park and get out of your car.

I don’t understand what’s happening at the San Diego Blood Bank, but I’ve been trying to schedule an appointment for almost 3 weeks and it goes straight to voice mail, and MAYBE someone attempts to call me between in the evening when I am not available. It would be nice to be able to talk to someone during normal business hours. they provide no email or alternative number. This is the worst service I have ever seen.

What an awesome staff and group of professionals and volunteers. I have always donated in the blood mobile and this experience was pretty cool. Easy to find. Plenty of parking. Festive decorations.

I was a first time donor, and everyone here took the time and care to make sure I was comfortable every step of the way. Asiah and Jessie (plus one other nurse I didn’t catch the name of, but he was super polite) were extremely attentive to my needs and level of comfortability, talking me through my anxiety explaining everything they were doing, and patiently answering any questions I had for them with it being my first time and all. I actually had a moment when I almost fainted at the end of my donation, and immediately these three came over to lay me down, give me ice, bring me juice, and ensure I was safe and okay. I know that being in a medical center, you always assume you will be safe, but experiencing it in action is a whole new level. I am extremely grateful and will continue to come back and donate because of this great experience I had. Also because the free ice cream post-donation is a great perk. 🙂

It’s been awhile since I’ve been to this location but it’s still top notch. Receptionists are patient and friendly. Technicians are knowledgeable and accommodating.

Updated Review 2023: As stated in my previous review, I have already “REACHED OUT TO YOU” many times over many years. You act as though this is 1 or 2 incidents? You really didn’t read the review. This review is for years of your problems with “reaching out” to you and things remain the same. It’s not just about me.

Sunday ,September 6,2020, I had a perfect San Diego Blood Bank donor experience.Arriving early , check in was smooth, and in a few minutes I was called to get my vital signs in a cubicle. Moving right along, I stood on a digital scale .Next I was provided a tv program of my choice, after wiping off the headphone earmuffs. The correct remote control was provided , without even having to ask and wait for it. Even Gwen stopped by to say HELLO.On my right, there was a church member friend of mine. I was given a coupon for a pint of Baskin Robbins ice cream , which I promptly redeemed for some daiquiri ice cream, which was outstanding! I was surprised by such a good display of teamwork! Thank you everyone!! You rock!!

I’ve donated over 15 gallons and have always had a good experience. The facilities are spacious and comfortable. The staff greats me frequently my name. They are always attentive and don’t forget the snacks and drinks.

Excellent service, Connie and Justine were very attentive and our blood draw went quick and painless. Staff all around had great attitudes considering the hurdles caused by the pandemic. Highly recommend donating at this Blood Bank!
