I've been coming here for a few years and never had a problem. All the nurses have been really nice and with a very good attitude always. I'm just talking base on my experience.

If I can give 100 stars I would! Donating plasma has become part of my weekly routine. As weird as this sounds, it’s something I really look forward to. The staff is amazing! Shout-out to Esley, Kurtis, Carol, Wesley and the whole Octapharma staff! Everyone works efficiently. I’m usually in and out of there in an hour tops. When I go to an establishment, whether it be a restaurant, department store, grocery store, etc….the way staff interacts with me determines if I will go back. I don’t care how delicious the food was, if the service sucked…I won’t go back. If the sales rep didn’t bother to ask if I needed help looking for anything, I won’t go back. I know going to Octapharma it’s going to be a great experience. Hence, why I’ve been going for 5 months now. Yes, the money is a nice incentive BUT the service I get there is priceless. Thank you, West Covina Octapharma! Y’all are literally the BEST!!!!!

Have only gone for my first time but so far, a great experience! Busier than I expected but employees were absolutely great! For those of you wondering, my total time there was about 3 hours since it was my first time and we had to do screenings and physicals and stuff. But I was only in the donation chair for 1.5 hours. I’m sure if I drank a bit more water it would have been faster but I’m also 6’6” so they took an entire liter of plasma. The debit card was loaded immediately which was nice. Will definitely be going back!

Questions & Answers

How much do they pay here for first and second donations? Will be my first time donating my plasma here.

Christian Velasquez | Sep 2, 2019
Nicholas Vazquez | Sep 2, 2019

Well, it depends on your weight. I think if you weigh 175lbs or more, you receive the maximum donor fee of $25.00 for first donation of the week, and $40.00 for second donation of the week. In addition, they also have frequency bonuses. If I remember correctly, new donors make $75.00 for their first donation, $50.00 for second, third and fourth, and another $75.00 for fifth.. You may want to call them directly on that. I highly recommend this Octapharma.

What are they paying for the first and second donation? I weigh over 175(Bills are rough this month)

Autumn Autiee | Apr 4, 2022
CNMG | Apr 4, 2022

It's based on weight and frequency of donations. If you donate regularly, after a month the two higher weight groups earn $65 twice a week. They also have new donor bonuses. At the time of writing, I think its $100 for your first 7 donations for a total of $700.

Oscar Ardon | Sep 1, 2021
Vero E | Sep 1, 2021

Most of the staff is very friendly. The exception I've seen is Michelle. She can be.... rude, strict, cold, demanding? Not personal, I guess. I've seen her raise her voice at some lady before 🤔 but idk what happened then.

It's considered a gift or donation. Don't think you need to report it.

You should of have gotten your money as soon as you were finished donating. You should call them and ask them why. The first time i donated i had money as i walked out

On average how long does it take and should one eat before or after it all

Nicholas Hankins | Sep 2, 2019
Vanessa Martinez | Sep 1, 2020

If you're a first time donor it could take up to 3 hours. Otherwise less. Definitely eat before you donate.

What time is lunch ? So I don't. Go when it's break time

Chuy Macias | Sep 2, 2019
T Mol | Sep 2, 2019

They alternate their lunches so doesn't matter

Can you stand while giving a donation?

Xavier Silva | Sep 2, 2019
Nicholas Vazquez | Sep 2, 2019

No..

What if you refer a friend

Ruben Vargas | Sep 2, 2019
Karina Bernal | Sep 2, 2019

From what I asked last time, you can refer people but you have to do an account online and you get points. It’s not like before when you would get extra money right away after your referral made a donation.
