My husband and I had an appointment to give blood at the same time. When we arrived we were greeted…read moreat the front desk. We gave the clerk a prescription for his blood draw that would allow him to donate every 4-weeks. We were told their location doesn't do those and he would need to make an appointment at a location across town. That was frustrating and it would have been nice to know ahead of time. I went ahead and began completing the questionnaire and the tech got me started. The staff offered me a drink and snack and made sure to keep checking on me while we waited for the blood donation to be complete. As always you get a thank you gift for donating. This time we took home a nice canvas tote bag and a stainless steel water bottle, both with the One Blood logo

One Blood is clean and spotless (nice bathroom), very modern, and the ladies who work here are…read moregreat. Especially Nikki: she's extremely talented in the phlebotomy arts. She was able to find a vein in my arm very quickly and get a needle in with little more than an "ouch." The actual blood donation took about 10 minutes for me (basic whole blood donation), it took longer to do the computer work to sign me up. The whole experience was pleasant. Check out the website to make an appointment online and to see the basic qualifications. I highly encourage you to donate, if you can.

The staff members were also amazing. Everyone I worked with was super helpful, personable and professional. I was also super impressed by Anthony. I always have to donate from my right arm because everyone else either can't find a vein in my left arm or they miss it when they stick me. Anthony got it on the first try and was so fast that I barely felt a thing. I highly recommend this OctaPharma.

Although the center has improved over the last few years certain staff members are somewhat…read moreinconsiderate towards donors. Most donors like to listen to something on their phone or tablet but certain staff members like to crank up their radio in the donation area making it difficult for the donors to hear what they're trying to listen to. I think the staff listening to their music and having their boombox in the donation center is uncalled for. That should be kept in the break room. Not everyone wants to listen to the same kind of music that the staff wants. Despite using earbuds trying to drown out the staffs boombox having that music pounding is very irritating!

I had a bad experience, giving blood at The Retreat At Grande Lake when the big red bus visited…read morethis location. The phlebotomist who took my blood, was very rude and inconsiderate. I'm a 70-year-old veteran and she treated me as a perfunctory task she had to do rather than as a human being with feelings. I have given more than 2 pounds of blood over the past three years, but I won't be giving to One Blood again.

However it's a little on the small side with just one office it shares the same space as the United Way. I've done a few Flagler College Fair's for this particular Red Cross location and it also provides an awesome ability to be a great place to volunteer for Flager College students as well. So if you ever find yourself bored with nothing to do get out and VOLUNTEER for your local Red Cross! It's alot of fun.

So as many people get nervous going to the doctor I get both nervous and paranoid. My bp spikes and only a feeling of comfort relaxes me to the point of my bp returning to normal. Add donating blood and boom I have an instant 4 alarm fire going on. This is a special thanks to Ms. K. Smith for taking the the to talk me through the process, being patient with me as my first bp was slightly over the qualifying pressure and supplying me with all the free goodies that I received for doing such a simple act of kindness. The Big Red Bus was not only cool, cozy, and clean but a great source of service to be able to get out to areas that many people can walk or take public transportation to, adding a free fandango ticket and free appetizer is a great added bonus. See you in a few weeks for another donation! Kudos to this service and saving lives!!

First time donating blood and it was a great experience! They were able to take me right away…read more After taking my info we had to check my iron levels then answered lots of questions. After that I was on a very comfy chair. Alyson took care of me from start to finish. She is a sweetheart. Asked if I wanted a blanket, something to drink and if I wanted snacks. Once she was all setup to take the blood it was time for the needle. My veins are always shy and like to hide and it's usually painfully. But she got it in one try and it didn't even hurt! Thank you!! Once the blood started pumping I was done in 7 minutes. Then she asked what color tape I wanted for the bandage. What? I've never seen it in different colors! Then she brings over a basket full of yummy snacks, they have popcorn, and other stuff but my eyes went straight for the chocolate cookies so.... cookies it was! They were out of tshirts and she took my size down and will call when the order comes in. Then I was on my way! I'll be back in 8 weeks!

They will make you feel very comfortable.

I felt like I was heard and gained what I needed to in this course. Overall, I would highly recommend this American Red Cross location .
