If you are returning donor, you can make from $115 a week, to $150 a week. Each week is different.

Especially if you have type 2 diabetes. I had to have my doctor sign off in order to donate. Once that was done it's easy. I love that making an appointment means I done have to wait for 2-3 hours to get stuck. All the employees were paranoid super nice and professional. The center is clean like a hospital. The music is a throwback but not too loud it's really nice. The screening section is not walled off like at my last plasma center. It was different but not bad. Everyone was caring and nice. New donors have a good bonus for starting. I am not sure what the regular tiers are once you are a regular donor.

Do not go here! I urge you! First of all the employees are rude, and not on occasion. ALL the time…read morerude!!! They curse & complain & worse of all they are terrible phlebotomists! They are to busy laughing, talking with friends that are donating, gossiping about other donors right in front of you etc.... So my first visit (yes I went a total of 6 times, really need x-mas money) The girl Torre was so busy talking I was trying to flag her down to let her know my machine was beeping, by the time she came over, I had a golf ball size hematoma in my arm! Had someone else stick my other arm & the process went fine. Hematoma lasted for 3 weeks!!! Went the next 5 times with no problems, yes they are rude, inappropriate, favor their friends over you. Just imagine worst service ever! But your first 4 visits which you can do in 2 weeks you make $130! So my last visit, yesterday, went through the normal process, sat in my bed, got stuck, but machine was acting odd. Told 3 staff members that the machine was acting reallly slow. Each just kinda brushed me off. Too make a long story not as long =) The machine took my blood out to remove the plasma, but the needle was not inserted correctly & could not give it back. It was a large amount of blood (their words) & were insistent on giving me it back, which of course I wanted. They adjusted the needle, did not help, so removed. Stuck my other arm, they suck at their jobs & missed. Tried again in the same arm different vein & got another god damn hematoma!!! One last try (number 4 at giving me back my blood) back to the first arm, and another hematoma! So 4 needles later, I did not get my blood back, was their for 2 hours, they gave me my $25 bucks, as I sat lightheaded drinking the caprisun they gave me. Told me that b/c they could not give me my blood back that I had to wait 8 weeks before I could donate again, as if I would ever go back. I sit on my couch today with bruised lumps in the creases of my arms from the hematomas I received that will bruise & be there for at least a couple weeks. Urge you do not go to this place!!! GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!

The lady who supervises was very nice and patient with me. The service blew my expectations everyone was so nice. My vein were too small and kept causing problems but the staff was patient and quick. It was very packed but they were fast and acted accordingly. I was told I couldn't continue the donation for the day due to infiltrating bc of the veins were so small but I'm welcomed to try again at a later date. I'll definitely be going back and trying again! Hopefully it takes next time!

I had a little difficulty locating the area. I blame the gps and human error. But, that's why I left early enough incase I ran into problems. Once I found the location I was a little more at ease. The area is a little industrial. But, anywhere you go never let your guard down. Our instructor, Shaun/Sean/Shawn (not sure how he spells it) was kind, knowledgeable and very personable. He did well at informing us what to expect and how to go about the process. He was patient as we went through the process. I enjoy the laughter he would bring along through your the time. Certainly eased any nerves for anyone if they had anyone. I always get a little excited when I have to re certify for first aid, and CPR. I always call into the Red Cross number on the website. They issue a military discount. Anyone whom I have ever spoken to has always been extremely helpful and knowledgeable on any information provided. This time so signed up for two more classes, anaphylaxis and blood borne pathogens. I have done everything and enjoyed the online portion of the classes they have. I think I will look up more classes to do in my spare time. The subjects are well worth it.

Second, it should only take 45 minutes to donate blood, you're going to spend that much time waiting for them to come set you up. Third, Ive gotten a bad stick both times I've gone. The second time they had to remove from left arm and stick me in the right. Basically, they don't care about you or what they're doing. That is obvious in my review and all the others except the guy who works there and gave it a 4. Also, no response to the bad reviews. Like I said, they don't care.

Ladies you know how uncomfortable it can be when you get a pap smear. Well after talking to Dr. Roberts for a few minutes, I was ready to kick open my legs and say AHHHH lol Her staff is also amazing. I normally HATE giving blood, because I have deep veins and it always takes the nurse a few tries (the old insert needle, pull back needle, wiggle left/right, completely pull out needle and try other arm) This lady (sorry I don't know her name) got it on the first try! Praise the Lord! Two more things 1. She LISTENS!! I told her about a surgery I wanted to have done, but my insurance company believes it to be a cosmetic surgery. She LISTENED to my reasoning and actually took me serious and is following through. We're going to watch and see! 2.She told me I was overweight. I tried to argue hat African American women are healthier and the BMI charts aren't meant for 'US'.... She wasn't having it and told me I need to loose weight! lol I love the honesty! Check her out.

He was using the other arm fine until he got the same young lady again the other day. It hurt bad and the numbers stopped so she called over the Dr and he said to pull it out so.e to get it going again. It did but still hurt bad. By the time he got home his arm was bruised bad and he had a liquid pocket under the skin on his bi ep and one on his forearm. We called and spoke to staff then a nurse and we told them what the nurse was wearing and how she had a clear face cover on so that she wouldn't hurt anyone else. Theu didn't even care, much less have her stop from hurting people. I'm not an attorney but this is the exact definition of "NEGLIGENCE." They have been informed and still not taken action to remedy it nor have her stop from hurting the next people. I guarantee if her records are pulled she has hurt many more. Truthissearching@yahoo.com
