Lowest pay around! Longest wait around town too! Place is not worth it! Basically giving away your plasma at this place! Had to wait 4 hours to return donate! Only to get 30$ Did you know 1 bottle of your plasma is worth about 500$! Go somewhere that values what you are doing! Saving life’s!

Why don't y'all post signs up outside and or the website about the meeting hours when starting late ? Theres people who haven't been inside the building to know that there's going to be an hour meeting after opening hours. People drive far , have kids , babysitters , and work.

This center was extremely clean. The staff was professional and courteous. I've donated at other centers in the area and I must say this was the smooth seamless process. I am very happy I chose this company and location.

Great donation site. Donating plasma is crucial to make many medications for people who suffer from autoimmune illnesses. You help them and get rewarded for your donations. New donors are receiving $700 for their first 7 donations in this location. The have monthly raffles based on donations and also have special days throughout the month. I’ve seen hot dog, popcorn and lemonade days. The staff is great. They guide you through each step and inform you of what to expect pre-donation, during donation, and post donation care. They have an app where you can fill out the survey you need to do the day of donation. Saves time. The app also tracks your donations and your payments. For more info go on their website. • requirements to donate • preparing to donate • payment

This place sucks so bad they don't care how long the line is and they only open like three windows at a time maybe even 2 they're slow they're lazy and plus all the donors in there look like they're on drugs

Gomez Addams | Sep 7, 2018
matthew “Mr.Brown” brown | Sep 7, 2018

Your probably right but keep in mind that this plasma center has over 300 donors per day. You are not obligated to go.. there are Highland center or the upland center also. If you donate to save a life dont judge others. If you are there for the money. Please be respectful. 576 successful donation i have never said the donors look like there on drugs. Comments like that show your intergerty.
