Now, the supervisor told me that I am deferred for 56 days. Due to the lack of quality control at Grifols Biomat, now my family and I will lose out on 2 months of plasma income which is $900. Thanks a lot Grifols, for your incompetency which is financially hurting me and my family. It's Biomat's mistake, but I'm the one getting hurt.

I wasn't allowed to come back for 8 weeks since I didn't get my blood back & was very dizzy for about 4 weeks. Then on my 4th go everything was great until my donation was complete, it came to pull my needle out. One of the older ladies who I assumed to be a supervisor literally snatched the needle out of my arm & that shit hurt! I'm fine but it's 3 days later & my injection site still hasn't healed & still sore. Moral of the story is to be mindful of who/ how you let the staff handle you here. Most of my visits & experience is cool but some of these ladies need a different profession if they can't properly care for the health put in their hands. $70 first 5 visits then $35 until your 10th donation in a month you get 70$

I did have trouble making an appointment online, but called and got one scheduled however they also take walk ins. Checkin is self initiated, with lots of sanitizer available, and then a series of tables and chairs to wait at. Right now with the need for blood, it was definitely busy but the staff was very apologetic and continued servicing each donar with speed. I've given blood many times with many centers and I was very impressed with their response when I passed out after donating casually eating my crackers. They swooped me up, got me in a wheel chair quickly with lots of ice packs and settled into a bed. Shout out to Denise who managed my vitals, got my head and lip checked out, then gave all the info to my husband to take me home after clearing it with the rest of the staff. They then called the next day to check on me. I felt really comfortable with this location and the staff that was working enough to go back. She let me know to tell them I had an incident before and they would take extra precautions. I'm happy I could give blood to support those who need it and have so many wonderful people and places to take on that job. Recommend this establishment.

I honestly never thought I'd be motivated to rate a blood donation center 5 stars, but I was…read moreincredibly impressed with my experience at Lifesource. I got in, got checked in right away- we went through all my medical history questions (after checking my blood to make sure my iron levels were high enough to donate) and everything else went incredibly smoothly. Everyone on the staff was informative, friendly and helpful. They said they're in the most need for red cells, so if you're getting that itch to do some good for the world, consider donating red cells -- though of course while blood, platelets and plasma are graciously accepted as well. They make sure you're ok after you donate by asking you to have a snack and wait a few minutes. Really, I felt like they did everything right. Donating full blood took me about 8 minutes. Hoping to go back in 8 weeks (the mandatory waiting period). And you should too.
