I've been to 4-5 different plasma centers, both Biolife and other brands in Florida and other…read morestates, and this Biolife center in Lakeland is easily the most well-run location of any I have been to. 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+.

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!

Overall CSL doesn't have a great rating on other review sites I looked at, so I was to say the…read moreleast pretty nervous to try it out. But, I really wanted to start giving plasma because obviously the extra money helps any broke college kid but it's also so cool how it's actually important and relevant to donate. My dad has been giving plasma in my hometown for a few years already and I had actually tried to go to BioLife over two years ago and was deferred for ONE YEAR just because I had piercings and tattoos. I get you have to let your body heal but an entire year is so excessive. CSL only requires 4 months between the most recent tattoos or piercings so this was part of my motivation for coming here versus other places. 100% transparency coming to CSL to give has been one of THEE BEST decisions I have ever made. Like I can't even explain just how awesome donating here has been. Expect when you go in the first time that it will take at least 3 hours to get you set up. I'm not sure why but that's truly just how long it takes, and they do warn you of that before you start. But after that initial setup it takes around an hour each time to donate depending on how busy it is and you can go twice a week, so it's super easy. They don't take appointments, it's all walk-in only. Also be aware if you have any kind of bruise or cut on your arms or hands they may defer you for a few days or more. I had a bruise on my arm one time and I ended up not being able to give for a week. I get they want your body to heal and that's fine but it's definitely something to be prepared for. I can't even believe how nice everyone here is! Of course there's the occasional grumpy person but I truly feel so at home coming to CSL after a few months now getting to know the workers. Many of them remember me by name now and always say hi and I feel so welcome and just love the community there. From Dara, to Deb, to Scott to Chloe to Jamie, and my man "K" (he never wears a name tag and won't tell me his actual name but he knows who he is), they are all so awesome and there's so many more who should be recognized that I hadn't written down. Seriously. These guys rock. They can be a little slow at times sure but it is so worth it to come donate especially if you need some extra change and actually want to make a difference for someone in need through your plasma donation- give it a try!
