Unfortunately, I will not be returning to this place because, there staff is rude! And disrespectful... I hade a good experience one time. I did a outstanding review for them on one of my other accounts. Unfortunately I did not get to work with those people anymore I was stuck with ones that do not like their job and you can see it on their face, they are very unhappy. If you ask to have someone else take your vitals. They will embarrasses you to make you file like your the problem. I'm very disappointed, I was told I need to go to my doctor to get a Certificate stating I'm OK to donate because my puls was over 100 BPM when they clearly know there's nothing wrong with me. I just went through their whole process about the same reason a week ago. Now they're making me do it again. So I decided not to wast anymore time here. I have since went to other places with no trouble what so ever. Plus they pay alot more than here!

No. You do not need to make an appointment, though it does make things run faster, SOME TIMES! If it's your first time donating, then yes, make an appointment as they stop new walk-ins after ac certain number of people.

What is the criteria

abe stamey | Oct 22, 2018
HiFi Gator | Oct 22, 2018

I'm guessing you're asking about requirements to donate. You'll need your ID (drivers license/state id/passport) and your social security card. And you'll definitely want an appointment for your first visit -- it'll take 3 to 4 hours typically from start to finish, but just that first visit. But after that, it will be between 75 mins to 215 mins from start to finish, depending on how busy.
