We did a walk-in on our most recent visit as we weren't expecting my husband to get out early enough to make it during their Friday open hours (only open til 2 p.m. on Fridays). They were quick to greet us and very welcoming - they had no issues with the walk in. The location was clean and well-kept. The staff was thorough, but quick with everything so we were there for less than 30 minutes all in. They have private screening rooms for checking your overall health and eligibility. From there they offer you snacks / drinks in order to keep you happy during donation(s). The blood draw room is off to the left when you enter and there are several beds. There are a few TVs and they play mainstream shows that keep you distracted. Overall: A+ Donate if you can! You can help save up to 3 persons with EVERY donation. This location is super quick and easy to get through.

I arrived at 7sm & was glared at by the staff who told me I should've made an appointment. I explained that the Oviedo office told me thry were unable to make one for me because they were locked. I donated platelets & plasma. The staff rolled their eyes in despair when the machine would beep. It was a lot of work squeezing my fist repetitively for hours. Their sourness made it worse. They kept trying to take my remote control, finally in wanted to keep it & asked one to please get batteries elsewhere. It was not fun.

5 stars for the OneBlood mobile unit that is regularly sent to Tampa & Wesley Chapel. The blood…read morecollected is shared within the tri-county area (if not w/ additional counties). Each time I've donated blood in New Tampa (Walmart parking lot), it's been the staff of the Lakeland Branch who has greeted me, questioned me, taken my blood, & sent me packing w/ a beach towel or shirt, along w/ a gift card. (The current promotion is a beach towel & $45 in gift cards; it ends Aug 31.) If you're in Tampa or Wesley Chapel, finding an open appointment online & reserving the time takes a minute or more. Once you arrive at the big red bus (currently in a mask-- regardless of vaccine status), you'll answer a few oral questions after answering questions on a Tablet. Then you'll be taken to a bed, offered a beverage & snack, & be stuck; I have yet to ever feel more than a non painful pinch. Once the blood has been collected; the needle is removed; & the gauze is attached w/ a wrap, it's time to go. I've used the Lakeland OneBlood mobile unit 4x-- each time in the Walmart parking lot in New Tampa. No parking issues! No long wait! No hassles! Staff has always been friendly; the women have varied each time. Some of the busses are newer & shinier than others, but all have appeared clean. The entire process from reserving an appt time (on-line) to leaving the bus to go home after the donation has always been INCREDIBLY speedy & easy. I'll continue to donate blood every two months regardless of promotion, & I'll continue to rely on this mobile bus unit. OneBlood makes donating simple!

Loved this location! The staff are hilarious and make you feel super comfortable. The center is…read moreextremely clean and packed full of various drinks and snacks. This center may be difficult to find because the address shows up as Arby's in Maps. It's actually right next to the Play It Again Sports to the left of Publix in the shopping center by the Lake Square Mall. Usually my iron is too low to donate blood, so I stopped trying for several years. Recently I started taking a really good iron supplement and decided to give it a shot with The Big Red Bus. My whole blood donation went perfectly, so I thought "why not try platelets" while I wait for my next whole blood donation. Keep in mind that it's a double-stick and you'll be sitting for two to three hours, unable to move, which is really taxing for people with restless body issues or ADHD. You'll probably feel extremely cold, but they have heating pads and blankets. You can also watch whatever you'd like on a personal TV with headphones (to oneblood: please get the extended versions of LotR lol).

Everyone (mostly) here is so kind and pleasant. I know it's not always super enjoyable taking vitals or being a phlebotomist, but the workers here are so enjoyable and really make the experience much better. Tiffany, Darrell, Olivia, Madison, Jay, Naheeda, Daylin, Kevin, Ryan, Jose, Danielle, Alyssa are all just awesome. And my girl Jessica, it's always a pleasure seeing any of them and getting to chat. They do a really great job here of getting people in and out even if it's slammed busy. Except maybe once in awhile if they're understaffed, the longest I'm there is 90 minutes. I've been to plasma centers where the expectation that it'd take at least 2 hours every time no matter the time of day, and 90 minutes was a quick day. But here, there are plenty of days where I'm in and out in an hour or less (of course, it helps to be hydrated so the actual donation goes faster). Efficiency is something they have down here. I'm super impressed. Not only do you get paid, but you're helping save lives by donating plasma. It's a win-win, and Biolife Lakeland gets an A+.
