So I'm giving a review today because I'm sincerely concerned and tired of what I keep seeing …read more This isn't my first location for adma I know how they typically move and some of the best people work in them however the powers that BE has a bottom line that is to be met and they're meeting them at the expense of the morality of the employee's and that Continues to impact the wellbeing of the entire operations of said centers all in which I've donated at Norcross,marrietta,Kennesaw and now conyers in the time I've experienced all these location something most of the staff don't even know of these same spots. The same is constant throughout (PS.Cladia it definitely not you so bare with me)so this tells me it isn't the staff no it is the upper management see every one has someone they kick down to get the bottom line completed... There lay the issues (culprit) inadequate communication ,inability to respectfully communicate. See when individuals aren't being heard on either side (Huston) there's a problem and this isn't going to last in this way very long because we all are adults so speaking to people nice nasty is a HUGE problem ... 1.when you hired and trained someone now they know and understand what to do ,but to add hoops to jump thru not good 2. I have seen adma promote within,just not hire enough people to make it not always be a issue of over worked people. If you take care of your people they will take care of you ADMA! I is so obvious these crews are not happy and over worked all the time.... Do some anonymous surveys In these surveys ask real stuff find out what people are feeling. If you gotta see if it is a person who makes everything difficult that doesn't have to ask names remember it is anonymous why run off 5 people and it could have only been one,every 3 to 6 mths and see the truth at some point you should want to stop the habitual turnaround the donors ME hates it.... My company did the survey thing and one of my suggestions was implemented I asked that the trainers to not be the sole trainers because me having the one I had she was a lot and I almost quit before even starting because of that one persons energy I got a different person to complete my training with and I did extremely well.

The only sex I've ever had is with my husband, but I'm screened because I have diabetes and high blood pressure, and I need approval from my doctor. It seems a little backwards, doesn't it?

Spent 3+ hours becoming a new member at BioLife, after the full exam, getting drained and told to return on Wednesday 20th as that would be 2nd in 7 days. I return to BioLife on 20th, told I'm still popping up in system at CLS, so return on 22nd today. Now, told that because I have popped up 2 times as another center, I'm band from BioLife for every!!! That's there rules, not anyone else's rules. So I have only gave plasma once in 7 days (Monday to Monday is 6 days) but, because I checked in on 20th and the 14th (gave nothing, no blood test or plasma), just checked IN, I CAN'T go to BioLife Plasma every again! That's just dumb! All because there STAFF us not trained properly. Spoke with manager stephanie , and she apologizes and says we'll train her people!

For my third time donating platelets, I wanted to check out LifeSouth's Northeast Georgia Center in…read moreGainesville, which is actually much closer to my house than the Greater Atlanta Center in Dunwoody (18 miles north vs. 34 miles south). After you donate at least once to LifeSouth, an employee will call you at least once a month to see if you can make time to come in to donate again. Since there is a high demand for platelets yet a small number of willing donors, they want regular donors to be able to supply blood and blood components to local hospitals in Florida, Georgia and Alabama. According to LifeSouth's website, "Platelets help patients with bleeding disorders caused by leukemia and cancer treatment, or open-heart surgery." This time, I made a 10 am appointment for a Monday for me and my sister (Yoomee H.) to donate platelets. I specifically wanted us to have the same time slot so that we could start and end around the same time. Unfortunately, things did not occur as planned for my third time donating platelets... We arrived a couple minutes before 10 am, and we were checked in by a very friendly woman at the front desk. She told us that they were happy yet surprised to have us there to donate platelets because they "weren't expecting us," even though I had made the appointment the previous week. To make a very, VERY long story short, we both waited over an hour before we were able to even have our initial blood test and interview, which must be done every time before you donate blood, platelets, or other blood components. After we finally had our interviews, we had to wait another hour or so to get started with the donation process. This was incredibly frustrating. When we checked in, we were warned that they were understaffed that day, but they did not indicate that we would have to wait THAT long! The phlebotomist who performed the platelet collection on both me and my sister was very sweet, but it was obvious that she was incredibly flustered about being the only person taking care of us as well as a whole blood donor. She had difficulty locating the vein in my left arm, which I usually have the donation done through, and even punctured it in the wrong spot. So eventually, she drew the donation through my right arm - and both of my arms had to be bandaged at the end. =( Arghhh... Like the donor center in Dunwoody, the platelet donor seats are pretty comfortable, they provide you with a blanket and heating pad under your arm (because it gets cold), and you get your own TV and remote to occupy your time. And unlike the Dunwoody center, this one has a decent library of DVDs if you want to watch a movie while you're donating, or you can bring your own! I picked a DVD to watch, but the phlebotomist forgot to turn mine on for me. Fortunately, I brought a book to read while I was donating for about an hour and a half. Overall, this LifeSouth Community Blood Center gets 2.5 stars - minus 2.5 stars for the ridiculously long wait to even get started because they were so understaffed. I was not happy that I had to spend over 4 hours at the donor center and get punctured in both arms. I have to mention, however, that the staff was super friendly, welcoming, and apologetic, and I really appreciated this. Although they assured us that they usually don't operate this way, I'm sorry to say that I simply can't bring myself to return to this location. I will drive further to the Dunwoody location, which is the main location in Atlanta, for my future donations to LifeSouth. [Review 107 of 366]

They interviewed me and I told them about a disorder I have that can make you pass out during things like this. They sat me down and found the proper vein very quickly. When the woman stuck me it barely hurt, she definitely knew what she was doing. About 4 minutes later I started feeling dizzy and passed out. Once I came back I was covered in ice packs and the entire staff was around me seeing if I was okay. They handled the situation so well, I was impressed. They had me sit and wait to leave for about an hour so that I wouldn't faint on the way home. Great job lifesouth Gainesville!

To start here was business like and professional. The nurse that did my physical was pleasant to deal with. If I had one complaint it would be that the building is a bit polled. I have looked at some of the other negative reviews and most of the things on them where dealt with or learned about during the intake process. I do recommend bringing a stress toy to squeeze during the donation process because just making a fist gets old real fast. My donation time was 43 minutes. From what I understand that was on the quick side it could take a little bit more than an hour just to give the plasma. Some other things to add are that the building and grounds is well-maintained, The area it's also a good area; even come in when it was dark was fine. If you want a way to support a good cause and make a little bit of extra cash on the side you should try coming here.

I have been a patient of Dr. Houston for over five years, and I can confidently say that her care…read morehas been instrumental in helping me achieve and maintain optimal health. From the very beginning, she took the time to truly listen, understand the root causes of my concerns, and provide a holistic, personalized treatment plan that went far beyond symptom relief. When I came to her, I had most recently experienced THREE emergency room visits for desperately low iron, excessive bleeding (that is now called menopause flooding) and several other very concerning and related ailments. Each time I ended up in the ER, the teams threatened to give me a blood transfusion. My traditional doctor at the time highly recommended hormone therapy, birth control and iron supplements. I was alarmed at these suggestions and felt they were so alien to the gentle, loving & natural healing process my body, mind & health truly needed... I discovered Dr. Houston right after this time and she took an ideal approach that my body has responded to incredibly! Dr. Houston's deep knowledge of naturopathy, combined with her compassionate, intuitive approach, has made a remarkable difference in my overall well-being--physically, emotionally, mentally and energetically. I feel more balanced, more resilient, and more in tune with my body, mind and whole Being than ever before. What I appreciate most is her unwavering dedication, expertise, follow-through, genuine care and prioritization for my long-term health. Right along with you, Dr. Houston creates a design for what is best for you and then holds you accountable. I've even have her give me a sobering talk when my choices were not aligning with the wellness plan that I co-created for my own health. If you're looking for a naturopathic doctor who treats the whole person and is committed to your healing journey, I highly recommend Dr. Houston.
