A little more care with blood samples. I had someone today…read moreprick my finger for the blood sample and then squeeze my finger from the middle of the finger all the way to the tip so severely hard and so long that it was painful. I noticed that I already had a good blood flow and plenty of blood coming out of the puncture directly after the needle prick and enough blood to wipe the finger clean and continue with placing blood into the slender glass tube, it was enough blood coming out already to fill up the tube, without the excessive squeezing and pushing on the finger. I thought we squeeze fingers like that only if we are not able to get enough blood flow to place inside tube for testing. My blood was already coming out pretty fast and full. I noticed today that the finger is a bit sore and I have never experienced that before after a finger being pricked and squeezed for a sample.

She kept moving the needle around until I was in pain and near my inner elbow there is tons of swelling and soreness...just an inept person handling a needle.

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 honestly never thought I'd be motivated to rate a blood donation center 5 stars, but I was…read moreincredibly impressed with my experience at Lifesource. I got in, got checked in right away- we went through all my medical history questions (after checking my blood to make sure my iron levels were high enough to donate) and everything else went incredibly smoothly. Everyone on the staff was informative, friendly and helpful. They said they're in the most need for red cells, so if you're getting that itch to do some good for the world, consider donating red cells -- though of course while blood, platelets and plasma are graciously accepted as well. They make sure you're ok after you donate by asking you to have a snack and wait a few minutes. Really, I felt like they did everything right. Donating full blood took me about 8 minutes. Hoping to go back in 8 weeks (the mandatory waiting period). And you should too.

I highly recommend going to bio blood components. They have a great staff and friendly service…read more You're doing a good thing by donating your plasma. You help countless people who need it and you get paid.
