Two times she tried buying Domin#es Pizza with her Kedpoints. The email code never went to her email. I seen it in person. I watched how she did it. Everything she did was correct. She tried contacting the center and no would help. That's not good. Secondly, their A/C system is messed up. So they brought in portable A/C units. And after having around 40 to 50 donors enter the building waiting around for hours, told them to leave. Some of us have to ride 6 to 8 hours of public buses to get there. Again, 95% of the staff are great (I know most of them pretty well, they are awesome!) but the few staff members that are indecisive was what caused the problems. Everyone makes mistakes but don't make donors pay out of their pockets with all their time, gas money, time off work, public transportation, missing appointments and other engagements they could have been doing. They make a lot of money from plasma. If they can correct these things then I will upgrade to a 5 star! Why? Other than a couple issues they would be a premium place to go and definitely recommend after they fix these issues.

Stay away from this place, it looks questionable and the staff's abhorrent. I've only ever donated at BioLife on Waters Ave, the staff there is absolutely amazing! If you want to go to a donation center that has friendly employees, a clean establishment and an efficient process - stay away from KEDPLASMA and go to BioLife instead.

I finally got my chance on memorial Day. I chose CSL plasma because their information on their app was very comprehensive. The three staff members that took care of me on my new donor visit were outstanding. Miss Gwen did my intake assessment and she was precisely by the book. As a career oncology nurse, I know that processes and standards are there to ensure safety, and I was so relieved with her attention to her facility's standards. Miss Nakina did my physical assessment, and again I saw that commitment to precision and safety. My technician who did the actual procedure was Miss Letti, and she must have used a magic needle because I didn't feel a thing! I felt so safe there. The debit card is a safe way to receive payment, and I strongly suggest reading the paperwork/schedule of fees that comes with it so you don't spend money on fees you don't have to! Hmm, wonder if CSL needs a part time RN? Thank you, CSL Plasma, looking forward to many happy donations!

I have been donating at the Tampa location since 2020. Today would've been my day to donate but the…read moreapp indicated this: Your donation eligibility cannot be determined. Please visit your donation center where a staff member can assist you. I figured it was my protein level since that happens approximately every 5-6 months because of long term donation. I figured it was time to give a sample. I inquired at the screening station and was taken to a room and was advised my blood came back positive for HIV. I know that is not correct since I just had blood work done last month with my primary care physician and am HIV negative as of 5-8-26. I attached those results. Now I am deferred for life. I went right from there to get an HIV test at my pcp's office. I am not sexually active so I know I am not positive. If it does come back positive, it would be from the plasma center. I have witnessed several employees not change their gloves in between sticking donors. I even said something to Savannah, the former center director, about employees not changing their gloves. She told me it is not required but she prefers it. She said it is only required if the employee's gloves are visibily soiled. It is possible they don't see the blood on their gloves by not checking closely. My advice is to watch the employees closely and ask them to change their gloves if they don't after sticking other donors. I did ask one of the employees to change his gloves about 3 to 4 months ago. He told me he is not required to but will because I asked him to. I will provide an update on my review when I get the latest results back. If it is positive, then it is from the plasma center.
