I wanted to know which would be more helpful and was informed that giving platelets would be more helpful, however, it would take 1.5 to 2 hours. I had the time so I opted to donate platelets. Once I went to the donation chair everyone was super nice and accommodating making sure I had drinks and snacks to keep me comfortable. The process did take 2 hours but I left knowing I would want to donate again and would return to this location.

I recently started going to the Westchase Center, which is closer to home. After several visits, I can honestly say I'm a fan. Carla, Ashley and Shonda are my hero's. These ladies really know how to take care of you. Their efficiency and customer service skills are second to none! Even when it's crowded, I've waited no more than 5 minutes for my appointment. I recommend completing the questionnaire on their website, which will decrease the time of your overall visit. My veins are small, they roll and are hard to find at times, but these ladies get it right every time. The center is clean and the chairs are comfortable, and recline back to help you relax. Each station has an individual TV with a remote, so you won't miss your favorite show. There's wi-fi if you choose to surf the web on your phone, or update your Facebook status. Or maybe you're just like me and you're spending that time checking in and commenting on Yelp. Whatever you choose to do, the center can accommodate you. The staff's friendly attitude makes you feel comfortable, and they remind you that giving blood saves lives. You feel like you are doing something positive for the community as the machine drains a pint of blood from your body. Blood is so important to keeping people alive, which is why every donation it called "the gift of life." Please remember to eat a decent meal and drink plenty of water before donating blood. The food will keep you from becoming dizzy and possibly passing out, and the water will hydrate you, which makes your blood flow faster. After donating, you can help yourself to the complimentary water, juice and snacks. If you are not a current donor, I urge you to rethink your position because you may need "the gift of life" one day.

From check-in till the time I finished was a 45 minute process. The staff here are so so kind! Everyone is super friendly and have great attitudes. My personal phlebotomist who took care of me today did a wonderful job at providing great service. She was friendly, kind, very attentive to me. They even made me a goodie bag for my birthday and I received a ticket to the Galveston Mardi Gras! Such a wonderful experience. I'll be sure to be back soon to donate!

They will find a way to inconvenience you. I'm Not sure if…read morethis is because they are always training a new person or what. They scheduled an appointment for me and when I showed up I waited an hour then another 30 minutes for processing just to find out that I cannot donate until the next day. Not the day they scheduled for me. Another example is when they had the doors open for deliveries on a hot humid day and my temp was 99.5 after waiting for 30 minutes and processing for 20. They even were talking about how hot it was and that everyone temp was high that day. They couldn't check my temp the right way only with the gun which is highly innacurate. Drove over to my PCP and my temp was completely normal and I donated! 12/17/24. It's obvious not all GCRBC are the same. I've donated over 20 times in the past four years and I cannot stand this office.

They messed up my phone number so I couldn't do the questions on my phone. The Kiaos is always filthy! One day its cold a fuck in that place, the next its hotter then satans balls! Just too much bs to deal with. Then I remember if u haven't donated in a couple years you automatically a new donor and you'll SUPPOSED to get NEW DONOR PAY! nope guess again. Instead of the 400 you expecting the first couple week you only get 100 your first two times. But wait there's more. I haven't donated since 2003! They gave me 100 my first visit and 55 my second visit! Thats false advertising and stealing! So I get on the app for help? It gives me a number to call. After being on hold for 20 mins cuz the app just haves robots with no agents, they did a report, now I have to wait for a phone call to know more about my issue with them stealing..... lol On top of that I have scammer calling me all damn day lol thanks! now I have to answer my phone today... smh
