Isha made the visit wonderful Informative, caring, intelligent and professional. Very friendly as well. I'm a regular donor.

Briana exceptional Totally painless Wonderful patient empathy 2nd time having her do the finger prick n blood donation took 7 min Not my favorite place to visit but she made it a delight Rkkjr read more

the staff does nice job overall. No complaints there. BUT, the $20 gift card is limited to every 8 weeks. My doctor wants me to donate at a shorter interval, fine, but I have a stack of useless barcodes that don't redeem for the $20. Terrible policy!! read more

They were having trouble trying to draw my blood at the Cape Coral facility and they decided to wait and schedule Hailee from Fort Myers to draw it. She was able to do it the 1st time she tried and I didn't even feel her do it, not to many people in my lifetime have been able to do that (I am a very difficult stick) She was very professional and definitely has a gift as a phlebotomist.

I've been donating platelets at OneBlood Ocala since December. I had never donated platelets and was kind of nervous about it. The whole staff was so kind and incredibly good at what they do, and made me feel totally at ease. They always express sincere gratitude to their donors. I am now happy to say that I am a consistent platelet donor and will continue to give as often as allowable, all because of these awesome people! It's an hour drive, and the process takes about 3 hours for me, so it's a big time commitment. But I would not go anywhere else because these folks at the Ocala location are really something special. Shoutout to Eric, Kristi, Rhonda, Janice, and Frank. You guys are the best! read more

Recently I decided to give blood because of the bus in the Publix parking lot; plus the $20! It has been over a decade since I have given, but I thought, "You know what? With the price of eggs and coffee creamer, who couldn't use an extra $20?" I wasn't really looking forward to the process. I stepped into the bus however, and was enthusiastically greeted by two of their blood peeps, Christina and Julio. I went through the check in process, and grabbed a seat, hoping to just meditate on Instagram for 20 minutes. However, what I realized is that meditating is not possible with Julio and Christina. They were in full "This is a fiesta!" mode, and I was soon wrapped up in their party atmosphere! Julio did a great job of upgrading me to the $30 plan, which also allows me to get some of my blood back! I know, right? I guess it is called adouble red-cell donation. We all chatted the entire time, talking about our humble beginnings, and what our plans for the future were. We even chatted about the upcoming snow in Florida. Before I knew it, the time was over. And because I was their best client of the day, they said I could have a Diet Coke AND a shirt, LONG SLEEVE! Anyways, I am back on the blood wagon again, and will be seeking them out in May when I can give again. By the end of the year, I should have a whole new wardrobe of "Lifesaver" shirts. Highly Recommend! read more

I have been going here for many years -- Today was donation 32 --- Ray Rey was very good ---- professional and friendly --- 8 weeks until I can drop in again read more

Hello I was on your blood bus today and I had a very unpleasant experience on the bus. I had the service where you guys pull up to my house and extract the double red blood cells and I was very unpleased with the service. So it started out normally everything was going okay and my tests were going great. Things took a wrong turn when I was stuck with the IV that was taking out my red blood cells. I had complained to the nurses the IV felt very hot in my arm and they kinda consoled me saying everything was okay. I have donated a handful of times and never experienced that. When the process was halfway over and the automated machine started pumping back saline into my viens I told them it hurt me. It took 3 times of me stating "OW" to actually look at the IV and pull it out of me. My arm was inflating like a balloon in the region of contact, it was painful. After the service was over they only pulled out a phone device asking me if I was okay or not to which I said sure because the needle was extracted from my arm. There was no aftercare that I've experienced every single time that I've used your service. They have always asked me to spend 15 minutes extra to ensure my safety from said service but it feels like the one time I experienced a complication with it they disappeared. I would like to speak with someone higher up in the company to discuss our options. My appointment was set for 5/8/2026 at 2:00pm as the appointment time. It is now 6:30pm the same day and my swelling is still there and it has not gone down. Even after using the paper they gave me instead of helping me care for it themselves as they should if they are going to be walking around with needles taking blood from donors. read more

The problem is One blood uses huge needles that hurt going in, hurt the whole time they are in. They do this to draw the blood as fast as possible but they are always short handed or staffed by degenerates, so you wait and wait amd wait for them to finish with you. Great cause but horrible horrible company. read more

The worst experience, I had an appointment at 2pm got there at 2:02 and they told me they had to leave a t 3? She goes inside to call her supervisor leaving me outside standing there for 20 minutes just to come outside and tell me no again!! Very unprofessional, very rude, no apologies,no nothing very bad attitude,she had 3 inch long nails very unsanitary, won't be back to give my blood at this company ever again!!! read more

OneBlood - Left me standing outside for 20 minutes for nothing, what a waist of time, worst unprofessional people I ever seen... - Blood & Plasma Donation Centers Near Me - St. Petersburg, Florida

See all

rude employee from the moment I attempted to walk in the door. he was upset because I didn't have an appointment and even made snide remark to another donor that at least they knew enough to make an appointment. I gave one other time when my iron was borderline and passed out. If your iron number is low they give you heat packs to get a better reading so they can get your blood read more

I'm in Palm Coast, Fl 32164. I was at Aldi's November 21 and there was a very pleasant young lady by the name Jazmin and she was very professional and loved her pink hair with her pink shoes, she was very sweet. My iron was too low to give blood. Thank you OneBlood and Jazmin for making my experience great. Sincerely Jeanette Burger read more

OneBlood offers great rewards if you can get them!! Donated blood 01/04/2026 in return for a reward of a t-shirt, $20 OneBlood Gift card and $20 Publix Gift Card. It is 01/23/2026, only received T-shirt, finally received $20.00 Publix Gift Cards, BUT still NO $20.00 OneBlood Rewards Gift Card!? Donors should not have to track down any part of their rewards!! It's BS!! OneBlood made Net Revenue of $451 Million in 2024 and CEO make $1.10 million salary, so OneBlood isn't hurting and need to get it right Everytime. Do ors are the Life Blood of your business!! So a little respect!! read more

I've donated with OneBlood 46 times without issue: whole blood and plasma. Sometimes the sticks weren't too bad; sometimes they were. I never had a complaint until they started changing policies, advertising challenges that they don't follow through with. Primarily, I think this has to do with where I was. My donation was in North Carolina through their Hickory branch. When I called to talk to somebody about my issue, I was treated very rudely on the phone, and instead of acting like I was somebody important donating blood to their cause, I was basically told that they weren't going to do anything. It's been very disappointing that there hasn't been any follow-up after working with this company for five years. Maybe the company is in trouble and can't stand behind their challenges, or maybe it's just a small instance of one company going their own way within a big company. Loss: $40 read more

Allison and Brittney at Jax Beach are awesome! Allison is always very upbeat and professional. I always look forward to my donation day at Jax Beach because they make the experience so enjoyable. read more

One of the most unpleasant experiences I've had donating blood. I've given over a gallon and a half of blood through a different blood donation service. The reward is minuscule so you would expect to be treated with respect and dignity and gratitude. I didn't feel that way at all in fact, I felt disrespected. I won't be giving blood to this organization again. read more

I showed up for my appointment in early February. After filling out all the required forms and getting my iron and BP checked, was asked about any travel. When I said I had been overnight in Cape Town 9 weeks ago, I was rejected and told to come back in a few weeks. Today I showed up at the Walmart in Tarpon Springs for my 12:30 appointment and after 20 minutes found out there would be no bus. I got home and learned they had called at 12:32 to tell me the bus would be late and to return between 3 and 6PM. At 3:00 I arrived and was told there was nobody on the bus to do DOUBLE RED so I should make an appointment for another day. That will never happen again. read more

Very unprofessional. Check in was slow and repetitive. My procedure was draw and discard, for high hermatacrit. Procedure was not done because I was taking a blood thinner. Staff seemed disinterested, and advised I should terminate medication. My orders did not direct this. I was there for an hour at 9am, and never saw another patient. I will not return. read more

I have given blood here a few times, but the last time I donated blood off State Road 54 in Wesley Chapel, Florida it was terrible. The guy who took would constantly come back and keep moving the needle around in my arm every five minutes. Not sure if he was trying to make the blood go faster or if it was because it was closing time but it was just super uncomfortable. I've never had that happen before. Then when he went to go take the needle out, he punctured my vein. A lot of blood was coming from my arm and then a day after the blood draw I have a big bruise running down my arm. read more

Twice I wasn't able to give because they missed the vein. Should have received $40 challenge they shorted me by $20. I would give somewhere else. This after 1.8 gallons. Lots of bad reviews out there. Bad sticks and bad customer service. read more

Donated by Westshore mall and the two tall gentleman that took care of it's are awesome! They were caring and made the visit memorable and laughter. read more

My account has been locked out for a long time. I just resolved some issues that prevented me from donating. So, I thought I would try again. I followed all instructions to the "T", to no avail. I finally called support, and they were perplexed as well. Finally, I hear oh that's the problem. I was instructed to use a password that they issued. It worked, only to find that all my rewards were canceled. I called back and found that their rewards had expired. I was never told so. I assumed it was like a blood bank. You get to keep what you earn. Apparently, it falls under "restrictions apply". I was told, sorry can't help you. So, if you want to build a relationship with a blood donation company, I would not suggest that you Do Not use One Blood. I hope that they don't let my blood expire too. A simple email notification would have been nice for customer relations and business development. read more

Made an appointment about five days out and I was in and out within 30-40 minutes. Not a fan of blood and needles, but Martika was awesome and we had a great conversation! Another perk of donating blood right now is that you're getting an antibody test as well to see if you've ever had COVID-19. This was my first time going into the center since I usually just donate on the Big Red Bus. Personally I enjoyed being in the center better. Overall great experience and I will continue to donate! read more

My experience with One Blood at my local Winn Dixie was fantastic. The lady who took my information (forgot to get her name) was informative and helpful. My phlebotomist Ameet was outstanding. He was courteous and professional and did a great job. Keep up the good work! read more

After seeing on the news that One Blood was doing a free COVID-19 Antibody test with blood donations, I proceeded to make an appointment with the main donor center, located at 9900 Dr MLK Jr St N, in St Petersburg, FL. It took a few times to actually get a live human on the phone but I finally got through on 5/19 @12:05pm. The soonest appointment they had for me was on 5/24 @ 11:00am which I gladly accepted. Upon arriving for my appointment, I was told that my name was not in their system. They asked who I had spoken with when I made the appointment, which I could not remember since it was 5 days ago. The woman advised me that the only thing she could do was make another appointment for me and that the soonest one they had was on 5/28. Waited 5 days for an appointment only to find out I'd have to wait another 4 days. I proceeded to ask for the supervisor's name so I could formally complain about the incompetent customer service folks that answer the phone at this place. Needless to say, I won't be back. read more

I stopped in randomly to ask questions about the different blood donation processes. Amie, the donation clinic manager, was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about the different types of donations. She answered all my questions with a smile and without judgment. I highly recommend this donor center. read more

The staff is great here. Its clean, the appointments run on time and they have good snacks! I give platelets every four weeks. They make it a good experience. read more

Easy in & out to give my platelet donation. There was a time when they were extremely concerned with how you felt after you were finished, even offering something to drink or a snack of crackers but not so much lately. Nothing was offered:( Previously, I was told you need to replenish fluids immediately after donating, & was offered a soda or orange juice. I will still continue to donate as there is a need for platelets for both cancer & organ transplant patients. read more

It's sad that a business that runs off the kindness of people's blood donations, can't even call back people within a week. Shame on you!
