    Good afternoon I wanted to share about an amazing experience that I had yesterday at BioLife in…read moreSaint peters. I am visiting from out of town. I'm originally from Arizona. I was nervous about going to a new center. However I've been going for about a month now and it's always been a great experience yesterday as we were all preparing for a big storm. I wanted to make sure to get my donation in prior to the storm.As usual everything went smoothly and I was lucky enough to meet Lily. Lily was the tech who greeted me as I settled into the donation chair. It was super busy however Lily took her time greeted me was very kind and engaging. We talked a little bit about the weather and discovered we are both big fans of I need to combat the side effects of the cold weather. Long story short it was a great donation. She was efficient kind and went out of her way to make sure that I was comfortable as well as all of the other patients she was working with. You all have a great team. I appreciate the opportunity to donate at the Saint Peter's center.

    I am 21 years old, nearly a professional athlete, and give plasma both for the people I'm helping…read moreby doing so and for a little bit of side money. I HATE giving plasma because I'm weird about needles and how my body feels during the procedure, but still do it. Today, 10/06/2025, at roughly 6:00 PM, I went from hating it but doing it anyway to simply never doing it again. In fact, I don't ever really write reviews, but made an account and came here ant typed all this purely because BioLife Plasma St. Charles is horrendous. I arrived with my friend and proceeded with regular routine, since I've been here enough to just know what to do. Had I not known coming in, I would have received poor service and untimely help by a closing staff who seems to give very little care or acknowledgements to any donors coming in. They weren't busy either, half of the staff standing around fairly obviously just waiting for close so they can go home. Upon doing the preliminary testing/check-up, the man I wound up getting was extremely rude and ruined my whole night, which could've been spent elsewhere doing something I actually wanted to do. I was having a pretty good day before that point. He (African American male individual, tall, quiet) did not greet me, and just began moving. He immediately proceeded to doing the finger prick to collect my blood for testing BEFORE any blood pressure/heart rate testing. That meant if I had failed this test, I still got my finger pricked which I hate with a seriously burning passion. It is an extraordinarily uncomfortable feeling to me, but stomach it for the sake of ease for all. I failed the heart rate test because apparently it was at 116, but I didn't know that. The man walked away and came back 30 seconds later and just told me to go sit down for 5 minutes, which I did, still not knowing why. The verbatim quote was "Go sit down and I'll call you back up.", which I did without any protest. I was then called back and got measured again and failed a second time, but I had done no exclusive calming down when I was sent away because HE SAID NOTHING ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED. I also have a naturally higher heart rate, and couldn't really even tell that it was high to begin with. By this point I was being conned out of my time. I failed a second time and he said, verbatim, "Come back and try again tomorrow.", to which I replied "What? What happened?" He then, as if burdened, rotated his machine around and showed me my heart rate at 116 when it apparently has to be below 100. Probably would've passed just fine if I had at all known to go exclusively try to slow it, but again, he said next to nothing up until this point, essentially sending me home with 0 dollars, 0 donation and *2 hours of evaporated time* out of my otherwise very dense and busy day, which I elected to spend altruistically giving my blood. BioLife's entire PR hinges upon messages they send out to "get people back into the donation chair", then put on a display of pure inadequacy, rudeness and contempt, and they seem fine with that culture of theirs, which brings me to my official recommendation for BioLife St. Charles: Do anything with your day except go there anywhere near closing hours (likely 5PM-7PM). They are not there to help you anymore, and their hospitality has seriously vanished. Day shift workers are a different story in most of my experiences. In my friends case, who passed the preliminary tests just fine, she had a horrendous experience as well, per her report. During her plasma drawing, she had an incredibly uncomfortable experience, with the needle slipping wildly with loosely applied tape, creating a very unpleasant process. The worker for her section appeared rude and, again, burdened by her presence, and having to go press a few buttons on the machine whenever it stopped working. So, from this testimonial, on 10/06/2025 past 5:50 PM at BioLife St. Charles, every FOH worker from the beginning to the end of the visit had been nothing but rude. I have worked food service for quite some time and fully understand the general attitude of food service workers near close. But they are not food service workers. They're doing much, much less for much, much fewer hours. They have 0 (zero) entitlement to behave in this way, especially directly towards donors who, again, are there entirely on their own will to do something charitable and make a few bucks. But, as of now, if they offered me $500 per donation, I'd tell them to piss off. Edit: they acted this way towards me, who is extremely unproblematic and very likely in the best possible physical shape to donate, with seamless donations every time. Imagine somebody else, like anybody who's older or might be slower during the donation process. It's pretty evident that they'd care even less about those people, too.

    Open heart surgery, everything went well. All of my interactions with staff were positive to say…read morethe least. Thanķs.

    My family is not the type to publicly complain because the care and well-being of our elderly…read moreparent is our highest priority. However, I am deeply disappointed with the level of care and service my 88-year-old mother, who suffers from dementia, has received at Christian Northeast Hospital. I want to preface this by saying that when an ambulance is called, they have consistently insisted on taking my mother to Christian Northeast Hospital. Each time, my brother has agreed out of immediate concern to get our mother stabilized as quickly as possible. During her first stay on the 8th floor, my mother fell and injured her hand, hitting the same area where she previously had brain surgery. I was shocked when the charge nurse stated that "she should have known not to get out of bed." For someone living with dementia, that response was both concerning and heartbreaking. Then, on May 11th, my mother was readmitted to Christian Northeast Hospital. The first room she was placed in had a roach, and later that same week, on Friday morning, a bed bug was reportedly found on her bed. My adult son was informed that he could not stay overnight with my mother. Because of serious safety concerns, I immediately called and spoke with Nurse Christina on the 10th floor, explaining that not having someone remain overnight with my mother, who suffers from dementia, was simply not an option. During our conversation, I was told there was concern that my son may have brought the bed bug into the hospital. I responded, "My adult son, who is an attorney--you have to be kidding." Nurse Christina then stated she would contact her supervisor, and thankfully, after further discussion, my son was permitted to stay overnight with my mother. For dementia patients, familiar support, consistency, and supervision are critical. Mind you, earlier that same week, my mother's room had already been changed because a roach had been found in it. Then, on Monday, May 18th, I received a call stating that my mother would be discharged that day. I informed the doctor that I was out of town, and he stated that the social worker, Michelle, would contact me. When Michelle called, she informed me that transportation had already been arranged for my mother to be taken home at 3:30 PM. I explained that I had spoken with the doctor earlier and informed him that I was not home. Michelle stated that Dr. Quasar had given permission to discharge my mother. When I attempted to express my concerns to Michelle, she hung up on me. When I called her back, my call went to voicemail. I then contacted the main hospital to file a formal complaint and was told I would need to speak with the charge nurse. I also attempted to contact Dr. Quasar again but was told he was not on that floor and that there was no way to reach him. As a family, we entrust healthcare facilities with the safety, dignity, and proper care of our loved ones--especially elderly family members who are vulnerable and unable to fully advocate for themselves. This experience has been deeply upsetting, disappointing, and frustrating. One of the greatest concerns in North County is the lack of competent and accessible healthcare resources during times of emergency. It is heartbreaking that many families feel they must drive 45 minutes away to receive quality healthcare for their loved ones. Our community deserves compassionate care, better communication, accountability, and a more effective system for addressing patient and family concerns. We can and must do better for our seniors and vulnerable loved ones.
