I really like the Riverside facility better than Corona. Corona always had lines due to overbooking. This was my 4th donation here at Riverside, in an out in an hour again! Special thank you to Ashley and Renee who took great care of me after I banged my shin on accident and started bleeding. Until my next appointment. read more

Lines out to do the survey, lines to do the screening, lines to get a chair and wait time to finally donate. Overall looking at 3-4 hours total to donate. I'm deleting biolife and going to a different donation center. Two years ago I was able to be in and out within 40min. read more

I went for another donation today and again I was treated well! Logged in on the computer and of course I got Gerry again, his sister is a vampire !!! read more

Don't waste your time. Sat there for a hour and a half after checking in just to get turned away They took all my information and then told me I couldn't donate cause the girl couldn't find my vein. She brought over someone else and he had no problem finding several. She looked at him and said SHE NEEDS MORE WATER SHE NOT DONATING TODAY. as if I wasn't sitting right there. Manager or whatever she was came by and started to talk to them about their lunches AS IF I WASNT IN THE MIDDLE OF A CONVERSATION WITH THEM This staff need to go though a customer service crash course. Absolutely rude! Guy next to me was there for 4 HOURS AND STILL HADNT DONATED. When he ask how long they think it would be to finish up, he was told a COUPLE MORE HOURS. Maybe if the staff focused on their job, the wait wouldn't be so long. Go somewhere else to donate and help others. This one is there to WASTE YOUR TIME read more

They'll probably miss your vein. Happened to me two out of the 4 times I've been. One of the times my arm filled up with saline and while it was happening i told someone and they said "just don't touch it." By the end I had a big bubble in my arm and it hurt. My arm has been bruised for 2 weeks now. Where else am I gonna go though San Bernardino biolife? read more

Called ahead, to inform I'd be 15 minutes late. Was given the ok. Just arrived and was rudely turned away. Drove over 2 hours. Def a waste of time and not worth the money. read more

Garbage place. Unprofessional workers with no sense of urgency. We made our appointment and came in 15 mins early and waited 2 hours before we were helped. What's the point of an appointment if you can't even honor the time? Workers are lady and disrespectful too. read more

If you need some extra cash this is the place to go. Really nice people & friendly staff. read more

I've been coming here for almost 2 months getting my plasma done every other week twice a week I love to help and give back and it helps me a lot tooI've been coming here for almost 2 months getting my plasma done every other week twice a week I love to help and give back and it helps me a lot too Everyone And there is super nice I always talk to summer and mave they're all super kind and professional but do a great job even at reception area. They have a lot of patience, hospitality good bedside manner, clean bathrooms And go over the procedure very easy with you make sure you always drink enough water and eat food 1 or 2 hours before. two runs up this place is really cool:) read more

Be prepared for each donation to take 3-4 hours. I made an appointment for 1:30 & didn't get out till 5:30 pm for a normal donation with no physical. What's the point of appointment? Not to mention they only open 10 machines & the amount of people they schedule at one time is ridiculous. The line is out the door. When I went to biomat USA in upland max time I'd spend 1- 1.5 hrs. read more

Would not recommend the Riverside location to anyone!! Horrible service...too much inconsistency with arm checks. Turns out it was just that nurse being on a power trip. read more

This place will waste you're time and money. Was told to get a grab a food and come back. I get back and was rudely turn away. "Oh I don't know who you talking to but it's too late for a physical!" "Oh no it's too late!" All in a sassy rude tone. People like this cost their employer money and returning patients. These place is a waste of time. Definitely find another company to deal with. STAY AWAY AND FIND A BETTER LOCATION!!!!! read more

I used to love this place and really trust them. I used to be in and out in under an hour, and the pay was really good. Now the pay has decreased and it took me THREE hours today to get through as a returner. It has consistently been taking 1.5-2 hours and I felt like that was manageable but if it is going to be as far as 3 hours that is definitely not worth the money anymore. Plus the staff is not paying good attention because there are so many people and you will be sitting in the chair for 35+ minutes before ever getting poked. Last time the guy poked me SO FAST and aggressive that I jumped. It hurt way worse than usual and then I was so scared that it went through and kept anticipating it to infiltrate with the return. Then today I was praying not to have that man poke me again but the different phlebotomist seemed super nervous about accessing my arm and freaked me out too. He kept saying "are you sure you want to do this arm?" and I would reply saying we could switch to the other one that puffs up huge if he felt uncomfortable but then he replied "no it is fine, this one is straight, it'll be fine" and then proceed to ask me AGAIN multiple times if I was sure. So I was super nervous that he was gonna miss or that it was going to go wrong and I have never worried about that before because I have great veins! It's just not worth it anymore to be freaked out and spend 3 hours of my day waiting. Sometimes time is more valuable than money. I would have recommended this place 6 months ago but they need to either schedule less people or hire more staff if they are going to sustainably continue on. Even the staff has said they feel super overwhelmed. Overall though, it's still better and safer than some other places I have tried (*cough cough* octapharma). They really do want everyone to be comfortable and safe. Their machines are super good and don't get "clogged with fat" like other places machines. They are also very clean which I appreciate. If they figure out how to bring wait times back down, I'd give 5 stars. read more

the environment is really hostile. I'm not too sensitive to the way people behave cause you never know if someone had a bad day or something but most of the employees seem like they absolutely hate their job every time i come here and i get it most people would rather be enjoying time doing something they enjoy than working but I don't recommend coming here to donate if you believe yourself to be a sensitive person. most people come here cause they obviously might be in need of some extra income and making a situation like that even more uncomfortable is pretty messed up. anyways if you want to help save lives by donating and in need of extra income y'all should check out CSL PLASMA ON CHICAGO STREET in riverside Ca. Everyone there is so kind. read more

They claim they pay bonuses for regular and steady consistent donors but for over one month now their app says their system is down.

Just finished my initial donor visit - every nurse - there were 5 different ones - I interacted was great - very genuine and professional and sweet. I even had fun laughing with the nurse doing my physical as she was checking my tattoos and whatnot. Sure it took a few hours but I already knew it would be a longer appointment since it was my first time. With their app I set up my next appointment easily and was compensated quickly and easily. Highly recommend this location to be a donor. read more

I hate needles. But after I was referred by a friend and took advantage of the noobie bonuses I'm still coming here. I'm donating now and I was talking to Kimberlie who's doing a great job today. Again I hate needles but she gave me a kind poke today. I try to go twice a week and honestly for the hours spent it's worth it. Thanks to everyone who's helped me here. read more

Love this place and the peeps! Today tho an hour standing, waiting to get screened is hard. Very hard.

I soon as I walked in their I expected a welcoming feeling nothing of that sort. I was helped by a women with a mask on a doctors coat rushing me like I was cattle asking me if I am new or returning. I said new. She said do you have ID and SS. I said I had my ID and SS on my phone. Lady told me they can't use that and that I would have to sign waiver for a 3rd party. She then asked me if I had, had a full meal within the last 2 hours. I told her I did not and she asked me if I would like to reschedule I told her no. She said that I could reschedule on the app. I don't know about you but If I'm about to be poked and probed and asked personal questions I would like to speak someone before I start signing anything. I was hesitant to go. Something about selling a part of me for cash just doesn't sit right. I guess it was a blessing in disguised. I won't be going back. read more

This place is great for those who just genuinely want to donate blood plasma or want to earn some extra cash. Based on what promotion is going on, you can earn money for donating blood plasma. The Rialto location is always clean inside and usually busy. The phlebotomists, nurses, and staff are polite and respectful. read more

Not didn't know what they were doing mess up both arms and could not return my blood and this was the second time I have to be on Dr. Because both arms were messed up and I more then four of the technician that did this kind of work over there at BioLife so as for me I would not go back to BioLife and will tell anyone I know that BioLife might hurt you in that process because I have been messed up twice at BioLife. The office can't be that good when you have four different technician that can mess up one person two times inside of a three months time period. read more

Man I just want to give a shout out to Ingrid, Aranza, Jesus, joon, Stephanie S., Lorraine, Joy, Daisy, Stephanie L., Marvin and Jared.Everyone is amazing! The people here make you feel welcome. Everyone is extremely professional and always on it! I've been to CSL and there is no comparison in location or employees! I apologize if I didn't mention everyone. I missed your name either because I don't know your name or simply you let everyone else do the work for you while you let all these good people show you up. Go BioLife happy one year anniversary! read more

They offer a generous sign up program- up to 8 weeks of compensated allowance. The con of it is you must be consistent or lose it. You will one way or another. For the rest of the year they offer a measly allowance for those desperately in need. When donating plasma they extract the proteins from your blood. Proteins are highly expensive to consume just for them to extract. Not to mention the track marks you are left with and the hematoma bruises . They need to quit acting like we need extra money for vacations or to make a dent in our credit cards because it doesn't. The measly compensation barely pays for your replacement meal and gas to get there. The physical scars or another thing so biolife quit your fake raffles as well. Focus on the help were doing to help lives. You and your staff should be equally committed.​ read more

This location is terribly terribly understaffed , every time u do a donation expect to be released at least 2 hours after u scheduled it.

First time here - everything was going smoothly, from check in to questionnaire. After hitting the nurse station, it was over an hour wait. Ended up leaving after 2+ hours of waiting for the nurse before being able to donate. read more

They are so slow. You there for your appointments on time and it still takes 2 hours and

The worst location I waited 5 hours on my first time I only gave a sample then I come back again for my first donation they made me give another sample fine. On my second donation it went smoothly and fast but on my third donation I was not allowed to donate because "they are waiting on my test results from my sample". I asked how can that be I've donated already and you're stopping me on my second donation it made no sense. My last donation was on the 10/14 I've called to check in on my test results and still nothing! The manager won't even give me an estimate on the time it takes to get results back. I am so upset I gave two samples I'm pretty sure they lost my sample it's 10/24 and still not eligible to donate because they're "waiting on my sample test results". They are very unorganized and unprofessional. Go to a different location. read more

A lot of the staff is very rude, they treat the people that come in to donate like they are the ones doing you a favor. Very few of them are decent phlebotomist. It takes a toll on your body, unless you really need the $ I would not recommend it. read more

This center seems to be understaffed as there is always a line when there are plenty of open beds - also i've noticed multiple instances where there is a long line and instead of helping patients the staff begins pre-closing. I totally get wanting to close as early as possible but the people in line are going to have to be helped anyway, might as well get them in and out instead of making them wait longer. read more

When I began I thought this was a great place . Well let me tell as you get started they count on u not to make all your donations in 30days . They advertise 8 donations in 30days for 900 this month . well u have 30 days to complete donations to from your first donations . With the holidays it's tough to do . You are only allowed two donations a week . And they are closed Sunday and Monday unlike other donation centers who pay more . They very un organized. I waited the last donation to have someone start me up and it took over 25 mins on sitting in a chair for some to come start my donation. Allow 2 hours each time you . They many new techs leaning here. Best think is find another center that pays more. read more

I was told to just bring an ID card but they needed social security. The short blonde lady said I can go get it and return within 30 mins and she'd mark I checked in on time. I went home got my card and returned on time... Just to be rejected for not checking in. She was there but chose not to help, I guess she didn't actually check me in. Anyways, I just went to CSL Plasma after and they did a great job with a walk-in read more

Catelyn at the Arlington location shouldn't be working there. She's extremely rude to not only donors but her other coworkers. The only time I saw her being nice was to flirt with men who came in. She was rude to me the second I encountered her till the very end. Won't be returning because of her. read more

Due to misinformation from the receptionists and manager I was deferred from the program. It is clear that the staff at biolife is incompetent. Mind you this was my first time donating with BioLife. Two times I was told to schedule an appointment even though I was at risk of being deferred. I assure you if I was not told to schedule the appoint both times by these so called "professionals" I would have not made an appointment. If I had the proper information I would have been able to follow the policies and procedures accordingly. However, I fully trusted the staff at BioLife when they told me to reschedule. One staff member told me "as long as the system lets you reschedule you should be fine" even though upon doing so I was flagged for "trying to donate more than I was allowed to" I was then turned away and told by A MANAGER that I am cleared to come in on the weekend for the next donation. Now I am being told I was deferred from the program all together! If you are donating for the first time with BioLife and do not understand the policies and procedures do not rely of the staff at this location to guide you. They are ALL incompetent. read more

They took so fucken long I was there for an hour and a half. They had me sitting on the chair for half an hour and it's wasn't even a physical. I went early because I had somewhere to be in mid morning so I just had to leave or else I would be late to my other appointment. read more

2 out 8 visits were bad . Always on Sundays , the skip you for people they know . When speak up . The tears bad I got stabbed straight through vien .took 3 times to get blood moving then keep stopping. The needle was suck on vien . Don't waste your time ,as they don't value it. read more

They reach out about how much your donation can help, etc... Just to be greeted by most, not all, but most of the staff as if they're doing YOU a favor. It's not the dmv. Everyone has something going on in their life, straightened out those attitudes and get over yourselves. read more

They take more than the 880ml if your over 190 pounds. They poke your arm with the end of swab to plump your vein. And if they poke you wrong and take blood from one arm they stop the donation don't return your red blood cell to your other arm and defer you for 60 days. read more

Great Experience from the moment i walked through the front doors.Have been donating for three consecutive weeks and today didn't compare to the rest. Shelly made me feel like i was at home. Giving me a good laugh right before i get poked by a needle. Just an overall great person who is polite and kind! Thank you Shelly! :) read more

I'm giving two stars instead of one because Loraine has always made my experience good with her. Everyone else- not so much. Lorraine seems to be the only experienced person there, she's the one constantly have to fix the needle when something happens. The first time I went my girlfriend and I were referred by one of her friends for a promotion they had going on, he went to the corona location and if I knew how bad this one was I would've gone there too. When we got there everyone was very friendly with helping us out. Then we went to go sit and wait for a nurse and I went to go find the bathroom and one of the technicians Renee asked If I had been helped already and I told her yes that we were just waiting. She very rudely says Did you even finish everything? And I was like Um yes the lady at the front checked us in and told us to have a seat and wait for the nurse. Renee says Did you do your questionnaire? I shook my head no and then she says "So you didn't finish everything then!" And I'm irritated at this point and just tell her I was told to wait again and she walked away. A good majority technicians all seem extremely new and it's very possible that's it all their first jobs in this industry, which normally isn't a problem but when the whole facility seems like new people it is. Our second time going it was extremely slow, their app says to expect to be there for up to two hours and we were there for almost four. Our third time going, the wait was insane again and the tech who stuck me and my gf did it wrong. My girlfriend ended up getting a hematoma and the tech admitted it was because she inputted it wrong. My arm was in so much pain after that appointment that it hurt to move or lift for a few days. We were really on the fence with continuing to come but I decided to give it one more shot today. I was given the center supervisor as my tech and when I tell you the insertion of the needle was the most painful one I have ever felt I mean it. She put it in wrong as well and had to almost completely take out the needle and reposition it. All the techs place the needle in extremely fast that I don't think they are paying enough attention . I believe the center supervisor is the equivalent of a general manager so if that's the case this location seriously needs some revamping on management and training so these employees can get do their job properly. Edit: I forgot to add in, when you're filling out your questionnaire it lists things to beware of and if it occurs to tell your tech. One of the things on there is tingling in lips and/or fingertips this happened to me and when I told the tech she said oh that's normal and walked away.... If it's normal then why do I have to filled out a questionnaire that says to beware of side effects like that. read more

This place is a complete disaster. Very understaffed. You can make appointments but it dosen't matter because it seems like everyone has the same appointment time. I just waited in line for over an hour just so they can tell me that my blood pressure was to high and I wouldn't be able to donate today. It's probably high because I'm so pissed off that I made an appointment and still had to wait over an hour! I will NEVER return to this place and I don't recommend ANYBODY donating here unless you want to waist your time. read more
