    Place is a joke. The workers that screen you are lazy disgusting & talk like trash. The wait time is daunting....do not waste your time!!!

I…read morecontacted this location after reading the reviews for the other plasma donation center in town, and thought that this one with its slightly better reviews would be a better fit. Unfortunately that was not the case. When I called on Friday I was told the center does not accept new donations by appointment, all new donors must do walk-in only, but the policy on that is very opaque and nonexistent at best. Nothing on the website says that it is a "first come, first serve" basis. In fact when I spoke to someone on Friday about a new donation, he said come in anytime before five. Now if it were first come first serve, why would I not be told that then? Monday, when I went in slightly before 3 o'clock I was told that I would be unable to become a donor today, and that I should come back early morning tomorrow. When I balked at this, and asked why, they said that it was simply because of manpower, they didn't have enough nurses to fully run the facility, and that there were already two people ahead of me in line. I called back after a few minutes on the way home to question the policy even further. Not only did the website not say anything, neither did the man that I spoke with on Friday. Of course the receptionist simply denied, denied, denied it. "I wouldn't have told you that," she said. Well that's great, but that guy did, and why would you run a business where you can only take a certain amount of donors at any one time and not say on your website "hey, don't come by, we don't have room for you." Why would you even have that policy in place to begin with. It would all be so much clearer if you could simply schedule your donation so that you weren't just rolling the dice by coming in on a random day at a random time. That is not respectful of your donors nor the time that they take in order to to donate. It doesn't matter if you're paying them money or not, that's just disrespectful. So no, I will not be donating at this location, they have lost me as a "customer" (or rather a donor). I have no intention of coming back nor would I suggest anyone use this facility for the blatant disrespect they showed the customers by this first come first serve policy. You close at 7 PM it's 3 PM and you have two new donors ahead of me and mine that's on you that is not incomet for me to come back another day. Or simply you're assuming that I will come back no thanks I have better things to do than keep rolling the dice thinking that you guys can take me. I don't need to do this that badly, and maybe that's the problem. Maybe most of the people that donate plasma are in desperate spots and so they simply assume that you will do it because you're desperate to get paid. I'm not, maybe that's the difference. Avoid this company at all cost. They do not respect you.

    Few problems: one, make sure you wear nothing that even shows the slightest bit of clevage and/or…read moreshoulder if you're woman (I wore a cute spaghetti strap dress that event even begin to show my clevage and goes down to my ankles so the only skin showing is around my collar bone and arms) and they wouldn't let me to in (despite it being 80°F). I double checked the website and there is NO indication of "please dress conservatively" or anything close to it. I called the day before to see if it would even be worth going. The lady on the phone felt like she was reading off a prompt and sounded incredibly nervous/unsure of herself. So I went today just to accompany my boyfriend. You'd think they have extra tshirts if this was really that bit a deal but whatever. My other issue was that I had to use the restroom real bad and the lady was like "you'll have to use the restroom next door." Okay but why? Third and final issue with this place was the fact that the lady at the door (not sure if it was the same lady who I talked to on the phone) looked and sounded like she had zero confidence in whatever they trained her in. If you're going to work at any kind of medical facility, you can't do this to patients/clients. It leaves them feeling nervous/not okay (I know because I work in the medical field). If you don't know something, don't be afraid to tell them "let me ask my colleague and I'll get back to you." Overall I left just not having a good feeling about this place AT ALL. One last thing, if there's conditions that permanently ban you from donating plasma, STATE THAT ON THE WEBSITE! Their cancer section just says (basically) "please talk to our nurses to discuss your condition". Hodgkin's lymphoma is a type of blood cancer that permanently bans you from donating any kind of organ, blood, or plasma for life. This is universal knowledge within the medical community. Boyfriend couldn't even donate today either - apparently a specific mental health condition is completely ineligible despite having ZERO risk of bring transfered via bodily fluids.

    The staff is not friendly at all. They alway seem to be upset or just not in a good mood. Funding…read moretakes hours to be applied to your card. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

The Red Cross is the one place that you can say without a shadow of a doubt saves lives . It's a place that although you say to yourself you'll never need in your lifetime you never really know that for sure . They supply blood to countless people , your kids , your neighbors, your co-workers and more importantly to people you don't know at all . People will stand in line for hours on Black Friday or when the new iPhone comes out but they wouldn't take a quarter of that time to do something that can really help others . These are some of the nicest people you'll have the pleasure meeting the make the process quick and as painless as possible( no it doesn't hurt either ) . Go give today and save a live they're always looking for new donors , the life you save may be your own .
