    I cannot say enough good things about this place & the staff. By far it is one of the best places to be a donor

    Great compensation program and staff. Just seem to be understaffed a lot which makes donating longer

    The staff is very pleasant, polite and knowledgeable. The times that I've donated I was out in 45-60 minutes. To me that's fast.

    I used to come here and stopped because they give preferential treatment to people who have certain…read moreblood types so the wait times were long. I went elsewhere that treated us all equally. That place closed so I came back to Octapharma. And nothing has changed. Now people get blue passes. I've been standing in line for over 30 minutes because people keep coming in a getting blue passes to cut the line. So why are the rest of us matter so much less than others? One day I got here before it opened and stood 10th in line and 7people came in and got blue passes making the wait time doubled. So why are the rest of us "less than " and have to wait until all possible people who clearly matter more have come through? I'll probably do my new donor stuff and then go elsewhere. This is the only plasma place that does this and it pushes people who can consistently donate to other places. It's ridiculous and there's no process change. 2 people to check us in.... And they are pretty much dedicated to all the people they give blue passes to so the rest of us just stand and wait until everyone who matters is done... like we are the dirt of the place... bottom of the barrel for trying to donate at this place above others. It has taken 3 times donating again to realize why I stopped going here.

The upcoming renovations should address the cleanliness concerns, potentially improving the overall experience. Would you like me to elaborate on any specific aspect of this review or provide additional information about plasma donation?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

And I thought it was a good excuse to eat a box of Twinkies after.. Well that experience was far less wonderful then my recent experience at Lifeserve Blood Center. After a fairly quick questionnaire, I was in a room getting my vitals checked before I could give blood! Yep I have a low Pulse.. only 44 so they were a bit worried about that, but after saying I was a runner, they gave me the go ahead to give blood! The nurse was fantastic and the needle did not hurt to bad going in and she was there the whole time making sure I was doing ok! My pint of blood filled up in about 7 minutes and the whole experience lasted under 45 minutes from walking through the door to end of donation sipping OJ! I love how the signage was all about saving lives and it made me feel, like I did a really good thing for the world.. My arm was not to sore and I felt really good all day! The staff was all top notch, and it was a really positive, clean environment and I look forward to getting a reminder text or email about the next time I can give again. I feel like this should become part of my life! ... To help save some!

    Overall, it was okay…read more Today was my first successful donation w/ physical and overall, my experience was okay. It wasn't great, but it wasn't horrible either. I arrived almost an hour earlier than my appointment time and appreciated being worked in and able to start my process earlier. The process was also super informational and thorough, but still somehow quick and efficient which was great. Staff also answered any questions I may have had during the process and were attentive to me as well. Truly my only complaints are during my finger prick at the first station, I was pricked in the center of my middle finger and 7 hours later it is still hurting like holy cow!! As a medical professional myself too, I know that finger pricks need to be on the SIDE of the finger. Next time, I will be making sure of this and I would hope that staff is fully complaint in doing so. I also happen to notice a donor frequently dozing off as well to which I saw no staff react or act upon. I was told that sleeping or having my eyes closed was not allowed due to safety precaution, but multiple people let this person "sleep" while they saw and did nothing. Just thought that maybe we could be better in the future for things like that.

    I've gone to Biolife in Ankeny since 2018; It's a great business..staff is polite and place is…read morealways clean.
