    I donate plasma every 4-6 weeks as I am a universal plasma donor (AB+), plus I've had issues trying…read moreto donate platelets. Over the years, the only problems I've had are with an incorrectly set IV (which they would have gladly fixed, but I gutted it out), a mix-up as to what I was donating (plasma vs. platelets), and a lack of COVID protocols early in the pandemic (addressed since then). Setting up an appointment is easy on-line, or you can call, or answer one of their texts or phone calls. A reminder text comes in 1-2 days before. It's easy to re-schedule if you need to (as well as polite to do so). I typically arrive 5 minutes before my appointment. Check-in at the front desk is easy, and a nurse typically brings me back within 5-10 minutes. Ideally you fill out your donor survey before you come in, as it saves time for you and the nurse. They get your vitals (BP, iron count, pulse, temp, weight), check to see which vein the want to tap, and then bring you to your padded, reclined chair to start the process. I typically read a book on my phone, but you can also use a chair-side TV to watch Netflix, or tap into their free wifi. Blood donations only take 30 minutes, whereas plasma is an hour (for me at least, but I'm slow), and platelet donations can take multiple hours. The nurse will let you know how you're doing along the way. My biggest gripe is that my nurse typically changes over the course of an hour as shifts end or someone goes on break. Afterward, partake of the free cookies and drinks (I'm partial to the M+M cookie with a bottle of chocolate milk, but there are lots of options) to rehydrate a bit before you head back into the world, knowing that you've given a little something of yourself for others.

    I have donated blood here for several decades and the personnel have been professional comforting…read moreand friendly. But this is not my reason to continue donating. If the blood I donated helps save but one life, that fulfils a purpose for my existence.

    I accidentally hit no on the questionnaire when it should have been yes, I immediately knew what I…read moredid the second I did it but there was no way to go back to correct it. I was then told I needed to wait to see the one nurse on staff. There were a number of people ahead of me waiting to get physicals, etc. so I had to wait my turn for this quick fix. Absolutely ridiculous! This needs to change so other personnel can correct issues like this?!

    On February 3rd ,2026 I went for my first time to this location to donate plasma. After going…read morethrough the process I came across the last step which was getting my physical done by a lady. She welcomed me in her office and was told to get on the table for her to start( I have physical therapy limitations) that had prohibited from me getting on the table and was looking for assistance either by her or something like a step stool, but she didn't offer for any help not even physically assisting me. She stated there was no stools in the area and that at the very minimum I should try to get on the bed, these where also the same beds used for the lobbies that ifni cant get up in the office the lobbies would be the same. Then she proc not tell me that do to my phys diagnosis I wouldn't be able to donate because that diagnosis neeeds for plasma to be used as well. I stated to her I've had it all my life and 10 years ago I had given plasma with no problem. overall the experience was sadning considering that couldn't even something as simple as a step stool ( I'm 5'3) that step stool could have made a positive impact, but she didn't even bother going the extra mile. So I have people are in decent condition because they won't give you a lending hand. ( literally)
