They gave good days and they have bad days. Definitely understaffed so understandable as to why it takes a while to be seen. I love Love love Kendal Marlene and Israel! So far the only three who poke me and get it right away no pain no struggle. Only one bad experience but the hood out weighed the bad so 4 stars. Also TINA is very kind and takes the vitals with ease and creates conversation. I love It

Very knowledgeable techs and staff. I felt safe and cared about as a donor just as much as when I donated at hospitals before. I was really, really happy with my entire experience.

It was my first time and it was a nice experience. The whole staff were very nice and respectful. The place was very clean and organized. I highly recommend this place.

Staff here is always nice and friendly, for sure they work hard to get people in and out and are great. The facility itself is well maintained and generally always clean. Sometimes the bathrooms could use some love, but that goes for most places. I give 4/5 stars only because many times it takes a long time to get from processing to the donor chair due to understaffing.

Faith Community Church Whittier | Sep 5, 2019
MICHAEL FLORES | Sep 5, 2019

NO BIT IT'S BEST TO GET THERE EARLY BECAUSE THEY STOP TAKING NEW DONOR'S SOMETIME IN THE AFTERNOON

How much will I get paid if I'm not a new donor

Dontae Thompson | Nov 8, 2021
Weaboo Slayer | Nov 8, 2021

They have a tier based payment system that rewards frequent donations. If you're not new and haven't donated in a while you're probably gonna get the low end $40-$45. Once you donate 8 times in a row you get $70 per donation $140 a week

After the first donation when can i donate again

D One | Sep 5, 2019
MICHAEL FLORES | Sep 5, 2019

YOU HAVE TO WAIT ONE DAY IN BETWEEN DONATION AND YOU CAN DONATE TWICE A WEEK

You need to bring a current ID a birth certificate or Social Security a bill that comes to your residence in your name with your address the first time takes about 3 hours to fill out all the information to see if you qualify

CaN I donate from another place

Jose Padilla | Mar 8, 2022
Angelita Marie Hernandez-Smiley | Mar 8, 2022

There's other Octapharma locations as well as other plasma donation centers but tbh.. you WANT to go to Octa They're super gentle & w/as many years experience as they have there, you are made to feel confident regardless of the situation

I understand what plasma is but what I don't understand is why the payout differs so much

Gary Gallery | Feb 6, 2022
Stacy B | Mar 8, 2022

If you mean the difference from week to week, they start low then increase to encourage you give 10 times a month. I counted 41 people when I walked in last week, if they sell the plasma at a $1000 a bottle that was $41000. Can you imagine how much money they make each day?

How much do you get paid each time ?

Iris Mejia | Sep 4, 2021
Manuel Carrillo | Sep 4, 2021

They have some promotions that pay more for your first donations. Like $150 for the the first and second donation. But, it may change. Then, it is like $50 per donation plus any promotional bonus (like $20 additional during a certain month). Every dollar and bonus sure can add up. I think I donated like 4 times(?) and have gotten about $350 because of the bonus incentives. There is a sign that says you can earn up to $700 a month! I'll have to inquire how to earn that much. Also, if you tell them I referred you, for example, they offer a referral bonus. They really do a lot to encourage people to donate. The first visit took about 2-3 +/- hours. Then, the rest are about and 1 ½ hour +/-. Hope this helps. LMK if you have any other questions.

You can always go in, no appointment needed. But if it's your first time, you will need to walk over to the front desk & sign your name in. Make sure to have your social security card with you, they'll need that & your ID to continue with the process

It's better to call them b4 u go all the way over but the more I do this . There a whole the will not be held n don't do it so mush it's not goid for your own body

How come on my sixth donation I only got $15, I know they go by weight ( I weigh 125lbs.). I would think my Plasma would be worth more than $15 if my Plasma is saving lives. They should at the least pay you $20!!!

Linda Luther | Sep 4, 2020
Francine Nuñez | Sep 4, 2020

True but thy have ther ways yr weight is less compare to some one who's 200 to 300lbs it doesn't matter ...it same u shld ask them Not worth my life for the xtra dollars I bern poke harshly bcuz of a staff member had my blood wasn't return and after my body changed Gatorade not gng resolve my body loss and you can pick up disease b CARFUL I wouldn't do this no more it's not healthy for our own bodies .

how much do I get Re tune

Israel Casas | Sep 4, 2020
Angie | Sep 4, 2020

Your first 5 visits pay $75, 50, 50, 50, $75 and depending what monthly bonuses they have, thereafter depending on your weight they pay something like $25, and second visit $40 and so on.. and it's not bad for your body, it you do your research and pay attention to what your being explained by the facility, your body makes up the plasma within 24 hours after the donation, and your saving lives! A lab cannot create plasma therefore you are saving people with this gift with every donation 😊 hope this lil piece of info helps!!
