I've been coming here for a few months and today the girl with the blonde hair that assisted me was…read moreso rude not only did I get my hair pulled twice or three times but no kind of customer service whatsoever just plain rude. My girlfriend also went and she also had a passive aggressive attitude w her. As much as I wanted to complain and say something, it was already the end of their shift, which might be why she was so unprofessional and inconsiderate. A simple asking me to move my hair out the way could've sufficed as I don't know when they're going to grab my arm to place blood pressure cuff. And still afterwards she presses on the wound firmly. I've came here before, and I've never had. This kind of experience is normally super nice efficient and prompt when it comes to these things she must be new or something.

And also what I do see is that there was somebody that had kids in the leaving room and when I brought my children in the leaving room because I thought it was ok they told me that nobody under the age of 18 can be in here, but I seen children literally in the leaving Why are some people getting special service when it's 100° out here right now why can't others bring their kids in in this type of heat but you let someone else do it Lying saying it's a policy but let others do it That type of care makes me really think about not donating no more

I'm pretty awkward but the nurses do their best to talk to me and make me feel comfortable. I unfortunately don't have a problem with being underweight (what a shame), but I have issues with my blood droplet taking too long to sink. The result of a no-meat, no-veg, all-carb diet. The nurses are always nice though, and tell me ways to increase my iron. + Nice nurses + Polka dot bandaids and pink elastic bandages! + Great perks for donating blood! + Calls to remind you of next time you can donate blood (start eating eggs and tuna for iron!) After giving blood, they make you wait 15 minutes in a room full of goodies. I love lemon filled cookies! "Take some more!" "If you insist!" If you are never ever going to donate there ever again but are still in the Stockton area, just tell them you've moved. Don't know why you're not donating anymore though - you don't need all that blood. I'm out of the Stockton area, but this will always be my gold standard blood bank!

Do you really want to see me after a pint of ice cream?? No, you dont. When I lived with the parents the DBB would call our house 3 times to remind me, my sister, and my mom that our post donation waiting period was up and we could donate again. Yes, the lady would call leave a message for me, hang up, dial the same number, leave a message for my sister, hand up AGAIN, dial the same number AGAIN, and finally leave a message for my mom. That's worth annoyed 5 stars right there. It's a good cause..doesnt take too much time...just do it.

I just read an article written in 2007 stating that the CEO of Delta Blood Bank makes $357,000…read moreannually. It's an amazing sum but I assume the position is that important. I've been donating blood since I was seventeen as a Navy recruit. I've donated blood in our ports-of-call all over the world. We used to call the Red Cross nurses "vampires", because we knew they wanted our blood when they came aboard. I've never asked anything in return for these donations but I have been given many different things. The main reason I began to give blood because the Navy would serve you a New York strip steak at dinner if you showed them your donation card. It was great for a kid that only weighed 125 pounds! I only have a little over five gallons credited with the Delta Blood Bank since we have moved here from Illinois. They have always treated me well and the donation sites are clean and the employees are very professional. I'm not much on the cookies and hot dogs, but I do enjoy the apple juice after donating. The new system of accumulating points is very interesting. I currently have about 200 points and it's fun to use their computer to see what I can get if I redeem them. Donating blood for me isn't about the steak, cookies, hot dogs or apple juice. It's about helping another human survive another day, week, month or year with a commodity only we have. It can't be manufactured or taken from animals, it's ours and ours to share only if we choose. In this age of "ME" and "what can I get" it's comforting to know there are a lot of folks like me willing to share their time and a very valuable fluid for no pay or very little personal gain. I'll soon be 57 I've been donating for 40 years and have no inclination of stopping my visits to the blood bank any time soon. I did ask the employees not to call me anymore. After all this time, I know when it's time to donate. Encourage one another. "Save a Life, Give Blood"

I read the instructions they said to test it behind my ear and leave it on for 6 hours I wasn't having any problems so I thought let me just go ahead and try to dye my whole hair why did I do that?!?! I don't know if anyone is familiar with the movie The Goonies but I look like I could have been his little sister "Hey You Guys." I have scabs all through my head my right ear got so big and it's just leaking my thyroids were inflamed. So I went to the ER about 2:30 a.m. and I got out of there by 5:30 a.m. I got two shots one of each arm and one on my right side it hurts so bad and then I got ibuprofen so I told them I will pick up my prescription at my pharmacist I don't know if I should have opened my mouth and told them I don't have no money but they the medication came up to $35 the next time I go into the ER I'm going to be very clear with them I don't care if you got to give me the off-brand $35 is a lot I could have did a lot with that. The service was fast and quick but the way this economy is going I'm quite upset I felt like you should gave me the off-brand stuff or charged me the off-brand. FYI I will not be posting before and after I don't want to send nobody to the ER.

What had happened here in this hospital has been unacceptable, I hope if you live within this area there is a better hospital to attend if you have any emergencies, this hospital has failed in basic needs for their patients, deeply disappointed. The discharge papers we had to ask for after saying that he already had them said he only had a concussion and nothing in the discharge papers ever mentioned that they gave him stitches, how to care for them or anything, I really want people to know how bad the service here is and to go to any other hospital or emergency room nearby

My mother and I have committed to begin donating as often as they will let you here in the Turlock, California location at 655 Hawkeye which is super clean and very well organized. They also say they are in continuous need of platelet donations as this type of donation goes to help those with cancer as an example. They are also forthcoming as to the differences in platelet versus a standard blood donation. This means plan on being there for at least 2 hours. One day I'd like to do this but not at this time. We had such an enjoyable experience here; everyone was so nice and down-to-earth. I've never had a donation move so swiftly; done in just over 20 minutes! + Zero bruising for me and my mom with the fragile body; skin and all. They took wonderful attentive care of her. They have a snack table there as usual and customary filled with sweet foods and juices and water since you have to stay for a few minutes afterward to ensure you replace some of the nutrients you are missing not to mention the fluid volume reduction. PERKS! * They have an online portal in which, as required, you'll locate a lengthy questionnaire that must be completed prior to each donation. I understand they have an APP too for convenience. * You can also fill out this form on their website. I recommend doing that if possible as it saves you time. * Plenty of parking with a clean parking lot as well that is handicapped friendly. *The act of donating is such a precious priceless gift is humanitarian and philanthropic and feels wonderful and caring & helps so many.

The environment is extremely clean, and staff are attentive and highly communicative. I really appreciate Mariann & Andrew for making my experience smooth and pain free. I went in for a screening done by Andrew and got approved fast for the bone marrow donation. Then scheduled and did my bone marrow 3 weeks later and my PA Lenny and Nurse Mariann made the whole process quick, easy, and as pain free as can be. I was well informed of all the risks and benefits and how I stand to benefit and how others will and I felt that it made me feel more comfortable to donate. Please do check them out if you have the time, energy, and the willingness to do either their bone marrow or white blood cell donation as you will get paid quickly, and be very welcomed. Thanks Andrew, Mariann, Lenny!
