The small butterfly plastic piece that is taped to the arm felt too tight and when the tape was removed at the end of the plasmapheresis process I had a large red bruise on my left arm.

They really talk to you out of concern. Especially Gloria. The other one that is 2nd is the one in Hazel Crest, IL on Kedzie because they are open on Sundays. Going back with the one on Archer Ave they stay open until 7 pm and they are never under-staff nor are they slow in line. Only issue of course is no Sunday but ever since I worked close to Midway Airport this has been a convenient CSL Plasma after work and they do NOT close unexpectedly and change hours like the one in Chicago by Cicero and Diversey Avenue nor are they Condescending like in Franklin Park location with a Southern Caucasian girl name Christine. Plus the one in Franklin Park they turn on the AC in the winter so you have to wear a sweater on one side of your arm. I do like it here for that reason on my feedback

Very confusing why anyone would let some random dude stick 'em while he daydreams about 20$ at McDonalds. It's almost as if the baby boomers WANT a health care worker shortage. Such, short, short, short sided "thinking". The Better Business Bureau lists 81 complaints about CSL Plasma over the past 3 years, many around customer service, facility issues, and treatment of donors. Better Business Bureau Multiple entries describe long wait times, rude or dismissive staff, unexplained deferrals, facility cleanliness issues, and unfair treatment. Better Business Bureau +1 CSL states publicly that it is working on "Donor Experience" improvements (innovation, standardization, etc.). CSL CSL gives donors a feedback channel via its app or website. rewards.cslplasma.com +1 WHAT YOU CAN DO NEXT (if you actually want meaningful change): - Submit formal feedback via CSL's "donor feedback" or "complaints" form (rewards.cslplasma.com). - ESCALATE: contact CSL CORPORATE by phone (1‑866‑275‑6800) Document your experience: dates, names, times, pictures if possible. Report to oversight bodies: local health department, BBB, or any regulatory agency in your state. Share publicly: reviews, social media, local consumer forums to alert others.

They called a day ahead with instructions and directions to the place. 11:30am PET Scan appointment (apparently the only place in the area that does this type of test). We were very early and they got us registered right away. Cecily at registration was super nice. They called us back at exactly 11:30 where we were warmly greeted and escorted by Kelly. Then Michelle administers the IV injection. The reclining chair looked super comfy. It's an hour wait to let the injection work through the system. They brought out a pillow and blanket to make the patient comfy. They put the patient's belongings in a locker and gave us the key. Kelly was very caring and kind, offered me a water. Very clean facility. It is a bright blue building exterior and you can't miss it. I can't speak yet for how quickly the results get to the referring specialist, since the test was today. Hoping the rest of the process goes smoothly.

I did have trouble making an appointment online, but called and got one scheduled however they also take walk ins. Checkin is self initiated, with lots of sanitizer available, and then a series of tables and chairs to wait at. Right now with the need for blood, it was definitely busy but the staff was very apologetic and continued servicing each donar with speed. I've given blood many times with many centers and I was very impressed with their response when I passed out after donating casually eating my crackers. They swooped me up, got me in a wheel chair quickly with lots of ice packs and settled into a bed. Shout out to Denise who managed my vitals, got my head and lip checked out, then gave all the info to my husband to take me home after clearing it with the rest of the staff. They then called the next day to check on me. I felt really comfortable with this location and the staff that was working enough to go back. She let me know to tell them I had an incident before and they would take extra precautions. I'm happy I could give blood to support those who need it and have so many wonderful people and places to take on that job. Recommend this establishment.

I have been donating for many years as it serves a purpose & a need. Life source is always looking for donors as there is always a need, so if you are able to you should donate. In my case the recipient of my platelets is person that is going through chemotherapy & is in need of platelet replacement to replenish the ones lost through the chemotherapy process. A few years ago Life source started a point system for whole blood, double red blood and platelets. You can accumulate points for donating & redeem them for debit cards that can be used for whatever. As you can see this is a WIN WIN situation. You are providing blood or platelets for Life Source & people in need & being rewarded for doing so. PLEASE DONATE TO A WORTHY CAUSE.
