They have their process figured out, very streamlined and easy to understand and follow as a patient. I’ve never seen anything sketchy or felt unsafe. Employees are upbeat and positive especially Ariel and Bianca.

Duke St. Octapharma has the best staff on the planet! Every time I come here I leave with a smile. The people who work here are highly skilled, professional, and kind. The facility is sparkling clean, bright and has a fun atmosphere. The donors I’ve met here are great people too. I’ve expressed to a few of the staff members how I feel and I just want everyone to know that Duke St Octapharma is the best place to go if you want to donate plasma. You won’t find a better group of people than here!

Norma Norma always does a great job here she has a lot about her patience and makes them feel comfortable even when they don't feel comfortable and I've never had an experience where donating what's painful when she was helping me I think that she is a great asset to this organization.

I’ve been going here for 14 years. It’s a great place to donate plasma for some extra cash. Alex is professional and does the job perfect every time. It’s the kind of thing I look out for since someone’s literally sticking a needle in my arm. Last thing I want is someone to miss my veins, which aren’t super easy to find. It’s clean, the staff is friendly, and I get in and out in less than 30 minutes. Alex is a sharp shooter.

Questions & Answers

How much do you get on your very first visit

Sal Saenz | Aug 26, 2018
YouRock379 | Aug 26, 2019

If you weigh enough (I think 200 lbs +) they give you an additional $50 for the first 5 donations on top of the regular $25 for your first and $40 for your second for the week. After that you get a total of $335/month for giving something your body produces on its own.

I am Argentine and I live in San Diego, what papers should I bring with me? Do I have to make an appointment or can I go directly?

samia Linares | Feb 26, 2022
Robert Anthony | Feb 26, 2022

You need official government ID (CA or US govt) Proof of residency (recent utility bill or something addressed to you) and your green card or whatever papers you have instead of a social security card, that allow you to legally live and work here. That being said, OctaPharma is the shadiest of all the plasma donation centers (which is saying something,) so I wouldn't be surprised if the other answers are true and they won't ask for anything but ID, BUT technically are are supposed to have the things I described. 😉

Do they still have the COVID program ?

Suzana Ferreiro | Aug 25, 2021
John Ridenour | Aug 25, 2021

Not sure exactly what you mean by the covid program but if you mean by the fact that they take every thing into consideration before they allow donations to occur then yes. A strict screening is required before every donation. What do you mean about the COVID program? Are you asking if you have had covid and you donate is there difference?

Do you get extra money if you have type O blood?

Sarah Sorkin | Jul 26, 2022
Lord MacLeod | Jul 26, 2022

Firstly, you barely waited 30 minutes before you decided to admonish those you want an answer from.... Don't do that. Second, call them and find out. Those without Type-O wouldn't know the answer and that's a vast majority of the population.

Frances Zaragoza | Aug 26, 2019
Pamela Milleson | Aug 26, 2019

You're first visit will take about 2-3 hrs... after your physical exam , then they will move u to the floor where u will then start donating your plasma... the process usually takes about 40 minutes or less to complete once ur all checked in and vitals taken... good luck and have a nice donation...

Anyone know why new donors now get paid even less than returning? They changed the policy, and now new donors can't get the "bonuses" for their first 5 weeks. I didn't think a company that sells each plasma donation for $1,500 could get even greedier

Blake Hobba | Aug 26, 2018
Curtis “Randy” Williams | Aug 26, 2018

Evidently that promotion did not get them more new donors. They have restarted the bonus on the second donation of the week ($75/ month). They keep changing it.

Can you stick over ink from a tattoo that was done over 48 months ago

Aaron Edwards | Aug 26, 2018
Blake Hobba | Aug 26, 2018

It doesn't even matter if you had the tat done last week. They never follow up or double check anything. The management here cuts every corner, they just want the money from selling your blood.

Blake Hobba | Aug 26, 2018

$25 on your first weekly visit, and $40 if you're over 150lbs. I think it's $20/$35 if you're under 150lbs, and $50 on your very first visit. You also get an extra $75 if you donate 8 times in one calendar month.
