Despite the seeming shortage, I'm fairly satisfied with the 1-1.5 hour time table required by the process from start to finish--at competitor Biolife, for example, the process would often take 2+ hours.

There was blood on the floor in the ladies room. I only went to this place one time and decided not to go back. My veins are in too deep. My good arm is my left arm and she was only able to make it in far enough to get a vial of blood for the test and then went to break. I've donated plasma about four times previous to this prior and it was a breeze. Three times in my left and once in my right. I wanted to try this place because it is closer to where I live so I thought why not give it a shot. Nah.... It wasn't working and the other girl was trying to adjust it and she tried pulling it out a little bit and still wouldn't work so she returned my whole blood. Infiltrated in my good arm. So the other phlebotomist asks me if I mind being stuck again in my right arm. Nah I don't mind. That arm is even deeper. Nah all she did was stick me. And I'm like so what you think could be the problem? She says....Maybe not hydrated enough? Maybe a bad vein?.... I'm like.... Maybe a bad stick?.... She says... her girl is one of their best phlebotomists. I have to tell her I drink at least 8 cups of water a day and at the other place I have successful donations and I'm done in 35-40 minutes and I have donated with both arms. I mean I get it. I'm a difficult sticker. I have fat arms. My veins are deeeeeeep. We ain't gonna work out. But the donor next to me ain't got fat arms and the girl is tapping her needle. Tap tap tap tap.... ‍ tap tap tap tap.... like is that a thing? I haven't been donating very long.... That's probably gonna cause bruising. I know my arm left a nasty bruise. Infiltration is when the needle slips out of the vein and just pours blood into the surrounding area. Like wow. My arm looks like a balloon. Is that gonna bruise? It might. I'm gonna go back to the other place. It's worth the extra miles.

Ive been to a total of 4 Locations to donate Plasma. located in 2 different States. CSL Plasma in Lawton OK, and Nashville TN, Biomat-USA in South Nashville and Clarksville, TN. Biomat is the better decision IMO, respectfully ofc. This is the best one I've had the pleasure of working WITH! You get to help sick people in need, while also getting compensation for your time! Great for Spare funds during summer break with the FAM! Make sure to check their website for more specific details!

Juliet, Tennessee) and its competent staff, who effectively transform the innately awkward and disjointed protocol involved when donating plasma into a systematized and streamlined process normally taking ~2 hrs or less to complete. Because they're indeed deserving of the praise, I'll brag on the crew a moment longer... in my experience, each and every employee has exuded a kind and polite attitude, with those I spent a longer time with (first-time appointments require a physical) exuding qualities that help manifest calm during a new or unfamiliar experience--patience, empathy, humor, compassion, understanding, etc.

Every visit since, the staff has been friendly. Every phlebotomist I've had appear to follow all the correct safety & sanitizing procedures. The beds are comfortable. They always have good music playing and decorate the plate a little based on the surrounding holiday. It's easy to relax & watch a movie, read a book, etc. to pass the time. It can get busy depending on the time of day & number of staff available. I've learned which days to avoid. Tuesday seems to be the busiest since it's their "Monday". The best time that I've found is first thing on the weekend when they open. Otherwise, you might have to wait 30-60 mins to get a bed, and then however long it takes you to complete the donation. Luckily for me, I have good veins & hydrate well, so I haven't had any complications. I don't have any other sites/companies to compare this location to, but I definitely like this facility and the staff!

The staff also likes to let multiple people wait excessive amounts of time after they are completely finished to remove the needle from the donors arms while they discuss unimportant topics of conversation or play on their phones. Wish I didn't need the money so I wouldn't have to subject myself to the lack of care and proactivity expected of a medical facility I witnessed today.

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE…read more I'm a new donor, and I was intrigued to try this plasma center because they said they "SPEAK SPANISH." A man helped me and treated me in an annoying way when he asked me what documents they needed. He gave me a form to read and answer questions (IN ENGLISH). I tried to use the translator because I didn't understand one word, and the man treated me in the worst possible way. I told him I spoke Spanish. He only excused himself by saying that no one at this center spoke Spanish, that I couldn't use the translator, that I couldn't donate if I didn't speak and understand English, and much less had a form in Spanish. I felt offended and humiliated. I know customer service is difficult, but if you're having a bad day, you shouldn't take it out on someone. It was a total act of racism on their part, especially when their website says they have people who speak Spanish.
