Sometimes it can be very busy; the staff is well organized in multi tasking and the group works in harmony together rotating roles to handle an array of situations to keep things moving smoothly. Today as I sat down to donate, 2 seats down a gentleman had a seizure, he had a prior condition. I observed staff members respond in an expedited and calm manner to stabilize the gentleman until First responders arrived. Quality and compassionate care.

All staff were friendly, honest, professional and compassionate. As a new participant the process took almost 3 hours. Which, I was told prior to starting the process. Refreshing honesty. All the years I have donated in the states of PA and MD, I have never been offered or a expected money. They actually paid me $75. My purpose of donation is to help those in need of blood or plasma. I will continue to donate as the end result is my donation may save a life. However, I do appreciate the money for my time. Highly recommend this place if business.

I've received much blood over my life especially when I had a complication during surgery…read more Therefore I give blood as I can. Moving from Austin I'm extremely disappointed with the availability of facilities here in town. My last home I could literally call and give the next day. My general gripe aside, I decided to travel a bit and visit The Blood Connection. Walking in, I found the people a sheer joy to be around. Course as a former comic, I lightened the mood and while they remained professional, made me feel at home. The goes for everyone, the receptionist, the "supervisor (sorry Brendan I think that's what you are)," the vital nurse and the "poker Alyssa" as sticker doesn't work for obvious reasons. The next thing you'll note this is an extremely clean facility which I can appreciate (ahem....not mentioning their plasma competition). I love the question all blood places ask "which arm would you like?" To which I always reply whatever is easiest for you! Unlike the other place, these people hit my vein second try (not their fault as my veins are deep and roll). I can appreciate them hitting it very quickly and relatively painless. I'd say the whole process was maybe 45 minutes? Hard to say as they said I was flowing good (to which I started wrapping) but running my mouth. I did hydrate so that helps out a lot. We wrapped up relatively quick and I got some snacks then hit the road. I was impressed with the staff and sterile environment to which I didn't have to linger about. I highly advise dropping by if you need to give blood. To which I'll end, please give it could save a life.

Shortly after making…read morean appointment i got an email from a Mount Pleasant location saying my appointment wasn't confirmed. I thought it was odd, so I googled Any Lab Test now and called the office. (by the way this number gives you a west Ashley address) The owner Jennifer miller answered and I expressed to her my conflict. the conflict being that I was under the impression that I was making an appointment for the west Ashley office NOT Mt. P. She then told me I could reschedule. So I did. I was asked for an email and told I would receive a confirmation. I never received one. I called back and she said she misspelled my name but that a confirmation email wasn't needed, that I would still have my appointment. My husband and I pull into WEST ASHLEY office just to be told there is no appointment for the office. i then called the number back to express my frustration with Jennifer Miller who then decided to play back a voice recording of our conversation prior just to tell me that I MISUNDERSTOOD. I asked to speak to a manager and was told she was the OWNER. I could not believe the quality of customer service i was being given. I would not trust this office with any lab test. Nothing but confusion and no accountability.

I will recommence platelets the middle of June when I become eligible. I am 91. This facility is outstanding but even sometimes things don't go as well as you would like. But before I become critical of any inconvenience caused to me, I think of the patient and the patient's family waiting for blood or platelets and my inconvenience pales into insignificance. My daughter would not have survived without these donations, as is the case with another 5 million or more people in this country alone. So, I appreciate the efforts of all the Red Cross personnel, and all those who donate. I give them five stars also. And to realize that age 91 I can still contribute, that because of my donation, another will be able to get out of that bed and go home and maybe live to 91 also makes this old guy feel pretty good.

If I bring a fast pass, why do they have to ask me my name 10 times, my date of birth 5 times. The re ask me several questions. I am trying to see the advantage of the Fast Pass for me. IT does take some to finish it before you get there. But the redundancy seems overboard. I am sure they are worried about all sorts of things and trying to be prudent/safe but really this is overkill. The actual act of giving blood took less than 10 minutes but still took around an hour. I know they can do better and hope they do. Their staff did a great job of getting the blood out once that started. I will keep giving but I hope they figure out how to streamline the process to help their staff take blood instead of doing all this paperwork that should be done with the fast pass.
