Looks like I'm the first to review! I signed up with Beacon Biologics for white blood cell…read moredonation, to help with cancer research. When I got there, I was taken back immediately. Me, the woman in charge, & her coworker were the only ones in the building. Verrrry quiet & all attention was directed to me. Paperwork took most of the time and it was explained very thoroughly before signing. Seeing as this was just my initial appointment, they only did a blood collection of 6-7 vials to test for diseases before I am permitted to donate white blood cells once cleared. The blood collection was taken in a very cushy chair where you're almost laying down. Afterwards, they gave me water and a snack and made sure I was ok. In the end, I was given $25 for the initial appointment. When you do an actual white blood cell donation (which I was told can take up to 3-4 hours!) the payout is a lot more. They also told me they have things like iPads with Netflix, magazines, etc to help keep you occupied during that time. They also gave me a free shirt! They told me that they had been up and running for 2 years but just started accepting clients within the last year. Anywho, the employee whom worked with me was super down to earth and great to talk to & answered all my questions. I'm currently waiting to hear back regarding white blood cell studies now so that I can start donating :) seems like a wonderful facility doing great work!

Today, I took my mother to donate blood. She speaks Arabic and only has very basic English skills…read more I tried to help translate for her, but I was told that she had to answer all the questions herself or she would not be allowed to donate. I asked if they had a translator available, even over the phone, and they said no. I then asked if we could use Google Translate to help communicate, and again I was told no. So does that mean my mother must speak English in order to donate blood? It was very disappointing to see someone willing to help others by donating blood turned away because of a language barrier. I hope this policy can be improved so non-English speakers have a fair opportunity to donate as well.

What I found was that it is $500 over there course of five donations. So you only get $100 per donation up to $500. That was a little disappointing to find out their fee was substantially less.

There are people that come in here every week for the sake of Money. Not being judgmental, times are tough...that's the reason I'm here. The staff is hospitable.

My doctor's office is literally across the hall from this lab, so every year after my well woman's…read moreexam I end up there. And somehow... every single year... they magically bill me for something that should've been covered. At first I thought it was just one of those annoying insurance mix-ups. But after spending at least an HOUR every year playing mediator between the doctor, insurance company, and lab, it's starting to feel less like "oops" and more like a seasonal tradition. Usually they eventually fix it after I call enough times. Other times I've honestly just paid it because I value my sanity. This there were two tests I knew insurance wouldn't cover, paid for them upfront with my credit card, had the doctor separate them on a different form, AND asked for a receipt. The receipt only had the amount paid -- no description. Which already felt a little "interesting." Convenient that for some reason they have no way of putting a description what I paid for on this but every time they send me a bill it has a very accurate description of what they are billing me for. It's sad that it comes to me having to cord this interaction to protect myself. So I asked on video: "So these definitely will not be billed to insurance since I'm paying here?" Receptionist: "Yes." Fast forward to this week: guess who just got billed $36 for those exact same tests. At this point I'm not even mad about the money. It's the principle. Because I know a lot of people probably just sigh dramatically, pay the $30, and move on. But no. Not this year. This year I will be returning like a low-budget legal drama with my receipt, my credit card statement, AND my little video clip. Honestly the phlebotomists are sweet, but the front office acts like kindness costs extra. They are shockingly rude! So if this place keeps overbilling you too: fight it. Even if it's annoying. Or save yourself the headache and find a friendlier lab who doesn't routinely try to keep an extra 15- 30 from every visit.

She put me on GLP1s, scheduled me with their Health Coach and washed her hands of me. I never saw her again. 6 months later, the 2nd ultrasound revealed there was never a nodule and that it was just a vein. Scumpia never reached out to me. Rhonda at the front desk stated more than once that they would only collect the $250 fee when I saw Scumpia. They collected it each and every time I went to that office, and Rhonda denied ever saying the Health Coach wouldn't have the fee. I moved over to MyBSW because I stopped trusting the care Scumpia offers at this office. ALL Health Coach appointments are FREE through them. Additionally, Scumpia's office inactivated my portal access when I canceled the continued care for GLP1s (not endocronology) so now all the tests they have on file are hidden. Avoid this office at all costs. You'll be put through the ringer and charged for no reason.
