People here were insightful and the wait was quick. They made check in process courteous and were friendly. While giving platelets they let you pick out a movie from a nice selection including a recent selection!

I came here to donate blood and had an interesting experience. I really wanted to give this place 5 stars because some of their staff is friendly and professional, but there are some staff members that are a little too uptight which makes you feel a bit unwelcome. The front desk person was friendly and so were the two women whom finally did my blood plasma donation draw. You can do the usual blood donation or you can do what they call a "double donation" where they take twice the donation amount of blood out of you...remove the red blood cells so that they can keep it....then return the blood plasma to your body. I opted to the the double donation because it looked interesting and it made me feel like I was doing a little extra to help someone in need. Now, the staff members whom helped process my intake are the reason why my experience was not the best. I told them that my doctor mentioned, in passing, that it may be a good idea to donate blood to the Red Cross. The intake woman immediately said that I was not allow to donate blood because it would be for a medical purpose and that is a different type of situation. After telling her several times that my blood donation is not for medical purposes...that my doctor did not write me a prescription to get my blood drawn...I was there to donate for non-medical reasons; this intake nurse insisted that I was there to make a medically required blood donation. I even called my doctor on the phone (while at the Red Cross Blood Services Center) and he explained that this is not a medical necessity nor is the blood draw for medical purposes, but the intake nurse insisted that she speak to her supervisor to get approval for me to donate blood. As you would expect, the manager approved me for blood donation because there was no reason to not let me donate. I was then transferred to a blood drawing technician whom worked together with another lady to draw my blood (these two ladies were very nice). If I was not in such a good mood that day, I would have walked out of this place and donated my blood somewhere else.
