I started donating platelets in July of 2024 at this facility. I always have a great experience with all of the staff members. Specifically, Tayler and Sidney have made my experience so easy and honestly, relaxing. It took a few times to see which veins were the most comfortable for me to use to donate, but we now have a good routine down. It makes me so happy to be able to come in and sacrifice a small portion of my day to help someone else. Thank you! read more

Very professional and knowledgeable Would recommend this location to anybody not sure about donating read more

I decided to donate blood, and had a good experience. I am O+ so I love donating to help save lives. The experience was great. Front staff checked my temperature, and I filled out some paperwork, and a few surveys. The actual blood donation was not long at all. The Phlebotomist hit my right arm the wrong way, and it left quite a bruise, but he was spot on with the left one! As some one who did phlebotomy for years...I understand...some days just be like that. lol. Can not wait to donate again! read more

My last time donating at this facility, perhaps any. The lack of value expressed to those who volunteer to make a difference is extremely disheartening. It comes as no surprise blood donations are tanking. First suggestion: Staff to the demand. Second suggestion: Leadership should invest in customer service and customer retention training. Third suggestion: Value those who take the time to donate blood. Terribly disappointing. read more

The staff here is very nice and professional. I usually make an appointment using the Red Cross app or online. Platelet donation usually takes around 3 hours for me (that may be longer than most people because I donate with only 1 arm connected to the machine.) They have a large selection of movies for the platelet appointments so people don't get bored. Whole blood donation is really speedy, usually doesn't take longer than 30 min total. Definitely make an appointment, I've seen the place get pretty busy. I'm a bit sick of their snacks though (cheezits, Oreos, trail mix), so if you're picky you might want to bring something to munch on to get your blood sugar up after the appointment. There's a Starbucks in the Barnes and Noble next door, so worst case scenario you can grab something there. read more

I donated blood several times before no problem. I was a walk in at 8:30 in the morning there was nobody in the place they treated me like if I wasn't supposed to be there and gave me a big excuse on why to not donate. Im giving my blood and have to be treated like this. Made me feel really bad. read more

It was my first time doing a full blood donation and Catherine was very professional and friendly. My procedure was done quickly and Catherine did such a good job that i didn't have any discomfort with the injection site during or after the procedure. read more

Had appointment to donate whole blood scheduled for 8 weeks. Show up 10 minutes early; no front desk person so I check myself in and sit down. 15 minutes later front desk person arrives. 30 minutes after checking in (20 minutes after appointment time), 30 minutes during which nobody has ever acknowledged I was there, I left. As I leaving, I explain to front desk person that if they can't have the staff they shouldn't schedule the appointments. Terrible communication. Terrible customer service. I'm there volunteering to provide a needed product and get treated like I was invisible. Probably never going back. read more

On November 3, 2019 I hit a milestone, I gave my 48th blood donation. My Phlebotomist was Sara . From start to finish she was fantastic. Very friendly and professional . This was the first time I seen her , she told me she was new to the position. If possible I will request Sara to be my. phlebotomist when I come in for future donations. . read more

Gave blood today. I was extremely disappointed that there seemed to be only monderate concern for protecting against corona virus. Although I notice a box of masks on the receptionist's desk, none of the staff or donors were waring masks. Due to the necessity of staff being very close to donors, this seems ridiculous to me. The Red Cross needs to deal with this omission NOW! read more

i recommend that if you donate blood you go to another location. i got to my appointment 10 minutes early and i sat in the waiting area for an additional 30 minutes after my appointment time before i cancelled my appointment and left. it's not worth your time read more
