The first time I visited the American Red Cross Minneapolis I knew that this would be the place from now on. Fully staffed with lots of chairs available to donate blood or platelets. It's wise to make an appointment, and for platelets maybe be kind of necessary, but you don't have to make anappointment a month out. The staff is super friendly, and very good at what they do. giving platelets, which is such an enormous donation and benefits so many people with horrible diseases like leukemia.. giving blood takes less than an hour, and giving platelets takes about 2.5 hours, while doing so you get to enjoy movies on Netflix, which makes the time go by pretty fast, and not to mention a nice snack bar when you're done. Also, it feels good to know that you're helping others in need.

This was the only location available for him to have this drug screening so it was a little drive from our house. He was waiting to use the restroom there so he could test without waiting to need to go, however by the time he got to the clinic he needed to go very badly and he was refused the bathroom multiple times until he started literally peeing himself they finally let him use the restroom. I understand they may be worried to let him use it prior to a screening but he also was unaware that he'd have to wait 1+ hours just to have the test done. Overall they are extremely unprofessional, rude and they seem like they don't want to be here. I suggest If you are looking for a pre employment Ua DO NOT GO HERE UNLESS YOU HAVE TO!!!!!!!

This one was worse so I will not go there again. I had to complete a blood draw and collect a urine sample. The male tech did a good job on the draw but barely spoke English and not at all friendly.

He gave me the cup, I locked the door and started the procedure that Dr Hemmerich coached me on how to do. She told me two wipes and instruction on wall said two. So there were no wipes in the room ! Got back dressed and went to get two wipes but the man was gone and nobody around . Finally I asked a lady for the wipes and she gave me just one. So I asked for two. No, we only give one. I reminded her that instructs on wall said two and Dr said two. NOT OK! So I went back into the room and re-started the procedure feeling that the test might be invalid. In the meantime I asked for the manager. But was told "not there". No explanation just brushed me off.
