This blood center was busy on a Saturday but very well organized. My donation specialist, Oluremi was efficient, friendly and skilled. She had no trouble accessing my vein and honestly the experience was about as painless as can be! I was done in record time and on my way. I'll be back again in 56-ish days!

My experiences giving blood at Versiti blood center on Meridian Street have been consistently…read morepositive. It feels SO good to do something so helpful and life changing -- and it requires minimal effort. I am typically in and out within 60-70 mins. I can go in the middle of a workday without skipping a beat. This is because it only takes about five minutes to complete the initial check-in/med check...and then while you're donating you are free to use your phone, read a book, etc. After you donate, you receive an email when your blood has been shipped to a medical center for use. It is so heartwarming to know that your donation was used for the benefit of someone else. This gives me pause...in a good way...every time. There is free parking on site. They will offer to schedule your next blood donation at the earliest point that you're eligible to donate again, making it so easy for you to return. And, have I even mentioned that there's a free snack at the end? The Nutter Butters are my go to. ;)

You can typically get in just fine without making an appointment in the past, but the Red Cross has a great pre-registration option if you sign up ahead of time that will save you money. The staff here is always very friendly, they provide water if you need and plenty of juice and snacks for after you're done with your donation. And, obviously, they take all necessary COVID precautions very seriously. You can donate a normal pint of blood, double red, plasma, or platelets - talk to your phlebotomist about what makes the most sense for you. If you're able, please consider visiting soon to donate as there is a national shortage!

The guest representatives at the front are playful and kind, and absolutely enhanced my boring weekday class with humor and personality. The lobby offers a variety of seating and is spaced well to allow for distance while waiting for a class to begin. The class was efficient, and I felt well informed. The teacher arrived on time, but after me, and she was spunky which made the class move faster.

I'm really disappointed. I tried to be a returning new donor twice. I was told that they are…read moreunderstaffed and couldn't see me. I went somewhere else, but I would rather go here. It's close to my house but instead I have to go clear across town to another center. I really hope they hire more people. I don't understand why their turnover rate is so high other place I go to the same people are still employed from 5 years ago.

I've donated here multiple times and the usual business is in, everyone talks like you're not there…read more( for better or worse), then you leave. Usually it's very casual so I liked it since I have severe anxiety. Then I came in and they did EVERYTHING to avoid resticking me with the needle. The employee had trouble finding my vein so she kept jiggling the needle in my arm. I said ow and she asked me if it hurt I said yes but its okay and if she would want to try my other arm. She said no because she didn't want to restock me and it took five minutes for her to stop jiggling the needle inside of my arm. The last time I came in after the needle was inserted and I couldn't get up and leave management came also and asked me about a conflict. I had no idea there was a conflict. Genuinely besides that I couldn't imagine what they meant. I spoke calmly, so did the employee, everything was calm and easy other than the pain. The management said they took note of what I said ( saying ow and politely asking if the other arm might be a better choice) and informed me I had two strikes against me now and if it happened again I'd be deferred or kicked out. This left me ashamed because I'm the type of person to cry if I accidentally hit a nat. Then it was pointed out to me that they accused me of starting conflict after the employee hurt me and I am now admittedly upset. I will not be coming back.

I even looked up my medication before going and this medication should NOT have disqualified me. So has to be a company thing or the interviewer is being prejudiced. Which is it? To protect my privacy I will not say what medication it is. But you (CSL) need to be more transparent and add this medication to your list. I should not have had to go thru all this crap then be turned away. I could have walked out the door after answering the kiosk questions. The only reason I chose to donate was I'm in a desperate situation and needed the money. Plus I would be doing a service for my community. Now I can't donate anywhere thanks to CSL!! I should receive some compensation. I think I'll call my lawyer and ask about this.
