Octapharma Plasma - 5 Stars! Highly recommend! I've been…read moredonating at Octapharma Plasma for a few months now and it's hands-down the best center I've ever been to. The staff is incredibly friendly, professional, and actually seems to care about the donors. Everyone from the front desk to the phlebotomists greets you with a smile and remembers your name -- it makes the whole process feel welcoming instead of just transactional. The facility is spotless, modern, and well-organized. The phlebotomists are skilled -- I barely feel the needle and have never had bruising or issues. Compensation is competitive and always paid on the debit card right after donation with no hassles. They also run great new-donor bonuses and frequent-donor promotions that actually add up. If you're thinking about donating plasma, this is the place to go. Clean, efficient, kind staff, and you're literally helping save lives. Thank you, Octapharma team -- you make it easy to keep coming back!

Definitely slowest plasma place ever due to employees not really focusing and just playing around…read more Seems like a daycare for adults. Jamaican lady that takes your vitals moves like a turtle . Not sure if she's doing it on purpose or what but it's very frustrating. Once you get passed vitals you have to wait for your name to be called which is about 30-50 min due to employees playing around . Once plugged in and done it may take up to 30 min just to get disconnected from machine . My last time donating it took me 3 hours . How on earth thins place still working is beside me . Where are the supervisors ???

I've been coming to the Orlando center for over a year on and off. When you get your initial…read morepromotion, be sure to schedule while you're in the chair. My first time coming the staff was very informative and make me feel safe. Considering donating? New Donor? Some types from a seasoned donor: -Give yourself a minimum of two hours to donate. An hour to donate and an hour to check in and wait. -Stay away from late appointments and lunch times if you can avoid. -Eat and hydrate before. -Upload any promotions prior to donating -You can request a phlebotomist (Miryan and Summer are awesome) -Bring a blanket or wear warm clothes. -Checkin is a small prick, donating is a bigger stick but not bad. You sit in a reclined chaise(lounger chair) while the machine removes the plasma and the blood is returned. -Sign up to donate and use my referral code : [https://info.biolifeplasma.com/new-plasma-donation-800-0422] or Coupon Code - 98374 I have rolling veins so I'm not an easy stick. My favorite phlebotomists are Miryan and Summer. They are professional, friendly, kind and very skilled. They are always very pleasant and ensure my comfort and safety. I love that and I'm thankful for them. If their management is reading this give them a raise and/promotion. I always see them hustling and going above and beyond. Recent Issue: Recently, I've seen a grumpy tech/manager, Sebastian walking around. Bad vibes. Today, I witnessed Sebastian announce prior to closing that they likely wouldn't be able to take donors. He sent two people home who've been waiting for nearly an hour. He seemed very motivated on sending people home, I watched the other techs pick up the pace. A customer complained stating that he'd driven over an hour. He said I can't control what corporate does and who they schedule. We have to go home and we have to be finished by a certain time. It's not our fault." SMH. And I JUST witnessed him nearly get into an altercation with a super friendly donor. I witnessed everything and there is something not right with this guy, Sebastian. Management should address and watch security footage. Please please PLEASE consider giving management/supervisory authority to individuals like Miryan, Summer and a lovely black lady with a beautiful Afro puff, I wish I knew her name. I appreciate they're professionalism, safe and swift service. I appreciate the new machines as they get you out quicker but you definitely feel it. I wish they would stock the center with hand soap and paper towels in the bathrooms. Also, masks would be great for clients and hand sanitizer at the questionnaire and vital station. Lastly, squishy balls that you can actually squeeze would be awesome Signed with love of donating, @ TheOriginalCharlestonian

The worst plasma place to go and donate, they have employees who don't focus on the donors, always…read moretalking about their plans outside of work. Distracted while they stick your arm. Some of their employees aren't very experienced with all "vein" types. From the director down to management everyone could use some training. The male "manager" with long brown hair is a distasteful person with little to no patient or customer service skills, the head phlebotomist (light skinned balled guy with glasses) I believe he needs some training as well. I could name more employees but those 2 specifically were the guys I spoke to on my last visit who were very rude and disingenuous employees. Also they will damage your body, or veins to no accountability.

I went from my 125 to 50 dollars as some who budgets this really hurt me. I tried to explain this wasted a hour of my time on hold and was not given consideration. They don't actually care about their donors trust me I learned the hard way employee John told me order directly from manager Alexis.

Wear wool socks so your feet don't get cold. Patience is tested here. Bring a small folding chair and cell phone to entertain yourself. Next you'll be seated in the he waiting area behind another 8-11 donors, wondering why they aren't calling names for 30 minutes stretch and not using both halves bed space. I think they are only allowed 6 donors per phlebotomist so 3 on the floor can only equal 18 donors at a time. And you wait and wait and wait and wait. Make sure your stomach is full before arrival because 2-2.75 hours will pass until your finally done. Bring a hard candy to suck on.
