With a critical shortage of blood seemingly looming all around us, I try to give as much as I am…read moreable to. Due to some health reasons, I had to take a hiatus from donating, so they respectfully suspended my contact information during that time. Upon being cleared to give again, they provided information on how to reactivate it. I have always been treated with respect and care by Vitalant staff. I have gone to the location to give several times, and absent one experience, I have always found the staff professional and easy to work with. My negative experience was surrounding a manager scolding an employee for a brief error, and the scolding was in front of me, thus causing the phlebotomist to be a little flustered. I was contacted and informed her of my view that this was unprofessional and disruptive, and she simply did not care. But aside from that one person, everyone else has been a joy to work with. Currently, due to a probable computer overheating issue, the building is closed because of a fire. Thankfully it was seen and no blood was lost. They are operating outside and in their mobile units. Most recently, i gave in one of their busses at work. Staff was easily able to handle the fluctuation of people, explained what they needed, the sticks were painless, and we were in and out with no issue. Please, if you are able to, be a donor. Some blood types have only a 1 day supply on the shelves... give life!

They just got a new system where you do your health review online before you come to save you some…read moretime while you're there. So that's helpful. The staff is friendly and informative but they seem to not have a handle on others time. I usually go on my lunch break but they go slow and I have to wait 30 min after my appointment time before they called my name but at that point I had to leave because I would be late for work. So nice clean people but I have to go back to work!

I've been donating pretty regularly since I was 16. First in Canada, and then in Indiana via the…read moreRed Cross. When I moved here back in 2008, I was surprised to find that the Red Cross wasn't the go-to for blood donations, so I started looking around. The Blood Center and Ochnser are the places you can donate, and I have gone through periods of donating to both. I find that TBC has a slight edge (in my opinion) because of the ease of scheduling donations online and giving you cholesterol results. This location is in a strip mall in Metairie, but it is easy to find, and the staff is always efficient, accommodating, and friendly. I have brought my daughter with me on a couple of occasions and they don't mind if she hangs out quietly in the waiting area. While I don't partake in the post-donation snacks, they have a good selection of both sweet and salty things for those who may need a little bite to eat. Of course, if you are eligible and choose to donate, thank you for doing so, regardless of where you do it. If you are reading this and looking for a donation location, this Blood Center location is a great choice!

Absolutely awful experience!! They left the tourniquet on…read moremy child's arm for the entire donation, and then argued with me when I told him if that was not appropriate. Two weeks later, my daughters arm is still black and blue and swollen and when I called, they continue to stand by the fact that you do leave the tourniquet on the entire time of the donation. My child has numbness in her hand now, and the vein is blown out, proceed with caution if you go here. Absolutely inexcusable!
