    Donate please!

    Gotta make an appointment! Showing up is nice, unfortunately, the new norm is you will not be able to donate without an appointment. Social distancing, the new norm, no longer supports walk-ins. Not a bad rule to follow, it keeps us all safe. Giving blood is something most persons can do. Not everyone may/can qualify, but it's worth an attempt!! With only a finger prick, and your iron is good you personally are good for giving a pint. I think they can also tell you your blood type. All types are good! Some better then others. If you qualify, that single donation may save a life. Please try. If you qualify you are giving the gift of life. Not everyone is able to do that! If you are in it for money... Plasma is the way to go. That my friend you've got to figure out on your own. Thank you for your time and reading my review. I might just be that person sitting 6 feet away doing a donation the same day as you! See ya there! 2020/April

    They do an excellent job and you can listen to Demi Lovato while you donate on their big soft chairs.

    I'm happy to be helping. I give platelets every 4 weeks. It helps cancer patients and burn victims. I love that it's so close to my house.

    Does this facility pay for donations?

    No. Blood banks are not permitted to provide financial compensation. However, there is an online store with things to get with donation points, as well as constant promotions with free items and coupons

    Please Read Before Visiting CSL Plasma…read more I'm genuinely shocked by the positive reviews of CSL. Based on my experience, they must be from bots or staff--there's no other explanation. If I could give zero stars, I would. I've visited three times, and each visit was worse than the last. I'm officially done. I originally chose CSL because it was closer than Biolife, but that was a huge mistake. The difference between the two is night and day--like comparing a thrift store to Neiman Marcus. CSL is dirty, disorganized, and unprofessional. On my first visit, the needle fell out and caused a large hematoma, sidelining me for two weeks. Every visit since, I've been forced to wait for medical clearance, even when unnecessary. The check-in process is chaotic and poorly managed. The most concerning part: during my last donation, no staff member was monitoring donors for an extended period. If something had gone wrong (as it did during my first visit), there was no one nearby to help. At Biolife, staff are always present and attentive. If you're looking for a safe, professional, and efficient experience, skip CSL. Go to Biolife instead--you'll immediately see the difference.

    No bruising! These other reviews left me terrified and put off coming to this location. Big…read moremistake. The staff was so welcoming and accepting, they are LGBTQ+ friendly, and super good at communicating with you. It was my first time donating and they got me through the process swiftly. My biggest concern was getting a bad nurse, due to these other reviews, I was horrified and anxious (I have a bad history with IVs being inserted as well). Dawn was the nurse attending to me and she was SO sweet and professional. She handled my bad jokes like an absolute champ, and when I wasn't feeling good she and every nurse available was happy to assist. They are so attentive and genuinely happy to help. And not a single bruise!!!! Im ASTOUNDED at how good this treatment was, and not to mention you are doing a good thing for money in return. An absolute all around win. I will be returning. Big thanks to all of the staff!

    The OctaPharma Plasma Plano center staff are wonderful - knowledgeable, friendly, helpful. I have…read morenever had a hematoma there and only one re-stick which was years ago with a trainee. I have donated with this center for years and have stayed at this OP Plano center for well over a year and have without feeling a need to rotate out to any other center or company. So, Five Stars for them. OctaPharma corporate and information services (push info on the app, customer service phone center, is ABSOLUTE:LY HORRIBLE. "Lies, damned lies, and OctaPharma Customer Service information" - Benjamin Disraeli Yesterday morning, due to the fact that people in my part of the South (USA) get scared to death when a snowflake falls, I called in to see if my center was open. Remember, with OctaPharma, the ONLY way we have to know such information is to call in to the Customer "Service" Center (CSC). They think that all kinds of info pushes out on the OctaApp that doesn't. So, one has to call. Of course, I called at 7:15 because forgot that despite the donation centers being open 7am-7pm, the bottleneck/CSC is only open during "normal business hours" 9am-5pm. So, I waited. My app was telling me I was able to donate but I suspect that is only "me" info, not taking into account anything about the donation center, and I didn't want to make the drive if they weren't open. Thus, just before 10am, I called back and got a rep on the phone: "Your center is open today from 7am-7pm." "You are sure that this info is good for the Plano TX center?" "Yes, that center is open from 7am-7pm." "And that is info for today, correct?" "Correct." So, I had a few errands to do and wanted to let meals kick in, so I went to the center at 5pm. Sign on the door said (not exact wording): "Reduced hours today. Our center will be open from 10am until 4pm." Arrrgh. I called the CSC and asked what hours the center would be open. "That center will be open from 10am until 4pm." Hmmm. "Are you able to tell what time you received that notification?" "Yes, sir, we received it at 10:03 am." So, either the center did not inform the CSC of their decision about operating hours until at least 3 hours after the center's decision was made (to not open at 7am) or the CSC had the info available but did not push it out officially to the reps for up to 3 hours after receiving it. I seriously doubt that the donation center left the phone center uninformed. I checked with the donation center and learned that they had made the modified-hours decision DAYS prior to the ice storm. I cannot believe for a moment they kept this decision secret for several days. And, of course, none of this updated-hours info was on the OctaApp beyond a message that some centers might be closed and donors should check first before going. Forcing us through this info bottleneck of uninformed script-readers and then ALSO giving out completely false information makes OctaPharma the worst of the worst in my opinion when it comes to helping donors with information. The drive in to the center wasn't hazardous, but it was very slow. They wasted my time yet again by not having the right info available in the right place at the right time, and essentially lying to donors. Everything else about OctaPharma is really great, as far as I'm concerned. But their corporate setup for info sharing is ATROCIOUS .

    I've been donating plasma for years and I've never experienced so many errors/false readings of…read moreprotein and hematocrit levels. I kept getting a low result so I decided to compare with another lab/plasma center nearby. I had my blood drawn within an hour of each test at Octapharma, Plano, TX and another plasma center and I easily passed the other plasma center where I was paid double Octapharma. I'm done. What a waste of time. NO MORE. Whoever is responsible for the quarterly protein tests is NOT doing their job accurately and I have proof this time. Bye bye
