I've gone to donate a couple times, and both have been great experiences!! My last visit Kat and Sebastian were both really welcoming and efficient, super friendly, and helped answer all my silly questions. Keep up the good work guys!

Overall a good experience. Staff are super friendly and make me feel comfortable doing something decidedly uncomfortable. It's not for everyone,especially if you're even a little bit queasy with needles/blood. The payment drops DRAMATICALLY after the first month. There were a few things that I didn't find out until a few weeks after I started donating and had to discover the hard way (if you don't have enough protein they have to send you home w/o a donation, for example) and even after going in a few months I'm still unsure what their "bonuses" entail. Overall, I would reccomend this place in particular because they have actual appointments so you won't be sitting around all day. And again, the staff is great!

If you want to help others who depend on your donation, but with little time commitment on your part, give them a try. The staff make it a pleasant experience. Trinity is usually my first interaction in the process and she really sets the tone for a friendly, proficient and relaxed appointment.

The staff really do make this place amazing. I've been coming here on and off for the last 7 years and have received nothing but the best care. Shout out to Stefen, and absolute all-star and beacon of positive energy. Thank you!! (And Allegra, Matt, Peter, Gary, Chica, Joseph, Tory and all you other lovely people)

Weed isn't a problem. They won't want you for sure if you shoot up - they don't even like accidental needle pokes!

Why did they turn me away for having a homeless shelters address on my id?

silver ravens black garden | Aug 18, 2019
Otis Spankmeyer (Morlok8k) | Aug 18, 2019

They want healthy individuals. Most homeless people cannot pass the intake process. Plus I'd suspect that they probably banned that address having a lot of problem people.

I thought they gave cash. Im hearing about a card? Do they give your info to anyone outside other then themselves? Like can someone please tell me what questions they ask ? Someone said they took in Dr info to prove they were healthy....

Katie L | Aug 18, 2018
Jake Gerke | Aug 18, 2018

They give you a card and you can withdraw cash from any 7-11 or US Bank ATM with no charge. I would imagine that they are forbidden by law from sharing your info. They did not talk to my doctor; a simple routine exam was done on site.

alexandria kakalia | Aug 18, 2018

It's always a good idea to call and ask the wait time. Fastest way tho bbn is definitely in the morning. Fridays and saturdays are rough so I wouldn't suggest going then unless you have no other choice.

Why cany i make an appointment on tue website ?its also my first time.

geneva settler | Aug 18, 2018
thatguyjeff gamer | Aug 18, 2018

You normally have to walk and phone them first because they have so many donors that make a mistake it's best to let them walk you through the steps in person.

If u are deferred from 1 plasma center of a different name are you deferred from all?

Wendy Camp | Aug 18, 2018
Tabatha Smith | Aug 18, 2018

There is a data base they enter information into that is federally regulated specifically for plasma donation centers. You can try, however I do believe that information is shared for your safety. Remember, you are deferred for your safety as a donor about 90% of the time.

Not really a question. You use their website to schedule your appointment but I believe you have to set it up and do it the first time from the tablets they have inside the place.

What latest time for donation

Tia Anderson | Aug 18, 2018
thatguyjeff gamer | Aug 18, 2018

630 or 645pm is the last two donor slots. So you must make a appointment before than. In addition. If you try to make a appointment at the last minute, all available slots could be taken and you won't be able to schedule at those times. It's possible to show up at the last minute and they could let you donate if it's in time if enough cancellations occur and such luck shines in you.
