    They have already rescheduled my class twice. With very short notice. Very unprofessional and…read moreinconvenient since I need my BLS for employment.

    Gregg was an awesome BLS instructor! From beginning to end, he kept our class engaged while…read morelearning important skills on how to save lives. It really helped that he had dummies to help us learn how to perform CPR correctly and an AED to practice defibrillation. He would also emphasize points during the class that would be important for the quiz at the end. Everyone in our class passed. Yay! I also appreciated that we were sent an e-certificate as proof that we passed the BLS course. Since BLS requires renewal every two years, I would definitely recommend taking this course if Gregg is the instructor. He has an extensive cardiac background, so he will more than likely teach ACLS very well too. The only thing to note if you do come to this CPR location is there's not a lot of guidance on logistics to get here, especially when it has to do with parking. We found out the hard way, but we thankfully arrived 30 minutes prior to class. Parking is located in the parking garage to the right of the office building on Augusta Dr and San Felipe. Enter from here and follow the sign for visitor parking; there's a keypad to the left that you'll have to enter a code for to get in. Call the phone number that will be sent to you by email, and they will give you the code to get in to park. There should be plenty of spots. If you can't seem to get in to park, there's street parking, but please take care of any no parking signs. When you get to the office building, you do have to wait for the CPR instructor to arrive before entering. Otherwise, there's restrooms on the first and fifth floors. The CPR class was being held on the fifth floor; the learning room was quite small and we all had to fit like sardines in there. We all managed, though. Otherwise, besides the logistics, this was a great BLS course that I will take again for renewal because I learned so much and felt I was engaged in the learning process. Great job, Gregg!

I took a 6 month brake and when i came back Precious, one of the phlebotomist greeted me , and remembered my name. Little things like that make a person feel special. Thank you Octa team for team treating me right.

    Just when I thought the place couldn't sink any lower, a new levels of fail were reached. I went…read morethere Thursday at about 6:40-6:45 and their security guard was outside telling people that they were closed "they were short staffed" because a staff member had a death in the family and that they had to get people out of there all day. I look inside, there were 8-10 people in line and they were still taking plasma. Not to be disrespectful or callous but the whole thing reeked of bullshit. I understand that things could happen but if it was that bad, why not just send out an email, text, or message through the app and shutdown earlier rather than just keep having a normal business day and then sending security out and writing a note to close 15-20 minutes early when you can't just shutdown and leave anyway? It's a gamble coming there because if they want to mail it in, you basically wasted your time and travel. They don't let you fill out your intake early anymore beyond 30 minutes and you often have to redo it because the wait is so long. According to their own rules, if you're in before closing and you pass your screening, you'll be seen. It's just on you to complete the donation. You also have to watch some of those screeners because they can bullshit you too and defer you just to get you out because they want to chill. You basically have to write off 3-4 hours minimum to donate. Besides the chronic short staffing, you have to factor in employee breaks and people cutting line. When it comes to line cutting, you have to be aware at all times because people will literally walk in and not only try to get in front of you but will cut the entire line. People will also let randoms with sob stories cut or reserve spots for their friends. Waiting for the place to open is even worse since you're outside and line cutting and fighting is even worse then. The employees, management, and security don't pay attention and won't do shit when you try talking to them but they'll throw you and whoever's starting shit out if you stand up for yourself. Hell, I've seen them call the police to throw somebody out who complained out loud when the employees were watching TV instead of sticking donors. There's also been cases before where they'll send security out to try and keep people from coming in well before closing with some crazy excuse but they're still up and running. Another tactic they do is to offer an express pass to come back tomorrow when they're in the mood to fuck off. The problem with that is they don't allow them to be used after 5PM and it only applies to the screening line instead of the full visit like Octapharma designed. Contacting corporate is useless since the communication is redirected to them rather than someone with oversight. They basically get to run themselves.
