I've donated on the buses and at fundraisers in the past but, I found that I really enjoy coming to the donation center in Coral Springs best.

EDIT: after management saw my factual review, the manager, Barbara, decided to retaliate against…read moreme for posting about my negative experience by banning me from donating- instead of apologizing for the unprofessionalism and rudeness of the employee who was was completely out of line. It's worth noting that almost immediately after I posted my review on Google, another one appeared, portraying this guy as some kind of rock star- total fluff without any supporting details . I have been donating plasma at OctaPharma in North Lauderdale for a long time, on and off. Some staff members are friendlier than others, but that's to be expected. However, nobody has ever been as rude, disrespectful, and immature as the person I encountered yesterday. This visit was was made extremely unpleasant by a new phlebotomist, Michael. From the moment he approached me, he had an attitude. When I politely requested a different phlebotomist who knows how to handle my difficult veins, he took it personally. He accused me of interfering with his ability to do his job and when I calmly responded that there was no need to be hostile, he continued being rude, saying that as long as I kept talking, he would keep talking, and finished with telling me to "stop running my mouth." At that point, I mumbled something to myself in Russian, a language he most certainly does not speak. He took offense, immediately stopped working on another donor, turned around and went to the office window to complain to the floor supervisor. Then he continued for quite a while to complain about me in to another phlebotomist who engaged with him. I did not hear what she said, but she certainly did not tell him to stop or that it was inappropriate. He also watched me intently every time I spoke with staff after that, as if it were any of his business. The supervising phlebotomist promised to address the situation. This kind of behavior from a phlebotomist who is entrusted with putting needles into people's arms brings the place down and makes it look as trashy as his behavior. I expect a professional in a medical facility to leave personal anger issues, poor attitude, and lack of self-control at the door--and certainly not direct them at donors.

Them being open on Thanksgiving is purely greed. Other than that I have no issues with CSL Plasma.

Yup, that's the old bloodletting routine that leaches and barbers once performed. It's the procedure in which red blood cells are removed from the body in a manner similar to donating blood. When red blood cells are taken out of the body, it lowers hemoglobin levels. So, the ultimate results are the same as with the barbers and leaches, but we now have some really skilled phlebotomists which is what lead me to OneBlood. OneBlood is not only used for phlebotomy but also for taking blood donations. It's really super clean, everything is so very orderly and the staff is not only super knowledgeable about what they are doing but friendly as well. I was really uptight about all this, but they put me at ease. First they gave me a simple blood test by pricking my finger in order to assure that the phlebotomy was necessary. In my case it was, but I shouldn't have been in fear. I assumed a comfortable seat on a couch like table where my arm was prepared for the bloodletting. To my astonishment I never felt the needle go into my arm and when the procedure was done, I had absolutely no bruises whatsoever. That to me was real testament as to how professional the people at OneBlood are as every time I normally have blood drawn, I end up with a horrid bruising along with a number of failed stab wounds.
