STAY hydrated! Do it. (Even if you don't "donate" plasma!)
Sarah C.

Yeah baby... Back again! Gets meaner and meaner every time Anyways. Second review. I returned yet again and things had been running smooth-ish so I thought to myself "self, I think we were just in a bad mood before because things seem to be running smooth-ish now." And I continued my donating. Coming up on a bonus, this is the weekend I'm supposed to fulfill a couple different ones. They've just told me I'm not eligible to come back until they do a recheck on my blood cuz my protein was low. Doesn't make any damn sense because a couple days ago I was there and they let me donate. So this is just proving my theory that they suddenly cut you off before fulfilling your bonuses. I've been diligent to take my vitamins, drink HELLA water, way my protein, drinking protein shakes, I've made Green smoothies a couple days a week even to keep those numbers up. And then this happened again. SUS!!!! I will say (almost) all the center employees have been nice. Except one girl who pretends people are invisible when they come in. If you sit in her section she'll eventually get you hooked up but don't expect eye contact or ANY words from her other than "tight fist" and then "let us know if you need anything" as she walks away, still never having made eye contact. She gives off those "I despise every person in here" vibes. It's a fun time.

Pretty sure that a bruise that's very visual!!! Lol

Yes, your first appointment does take 2-3 hours, but they are so incredibly thorough, they don't miss a step.

Friendly from the start! From front desk, to the intake, to the chair and beyond! The employees are…read morekind and helpful. Facility is clean, bright and welcoming. Bring a good book, tablet, whatever! Relax and donate life!!

I went to Vitalant planning to donate whole blood, but the staff suggested I switch to a plasma…read moredonation because my hemoglobin was "really good." I agreed. After 40min, the machine couldn't draw enough plasma and the technician told me "it's still enough, we can stop here, you've given enough blood." So I left thinking at least part of my donation was collected and would be used. A few days later, I checked my Vitalant account and saw my donation listed as "Unsuccessful Draw." No explanation, no details, nothing. That means the donation was discarded -- yet the staff told me everything was "enough" and "good." This is incredibly confusing and honestly feels misleading. If the product was not usable, then say that. If nothing was collected, then say that. If partial plasma was discarded, then say that. A donor should not have to guess what happened to their own blood. I volunteered my time and my body to help people, and the lack of transparency makes me feel like my effort didn't matter. Vitalant needs major improvements: Clear communication/Transparency: Donors should be told upfront when a donation ends early and whether anything is actually usable. Or even online portal should show more details, what was taken, what was discarded, how much was taken, where is it going, who did i help, some sort of transparency. Accurate donor history: The online portal should show what was collected (blood, plasma, partial amounts) even if it's discarded. Respect for donors' time: It's discouraging to give blood only to learn from the website -- not the staff -- that it was thrown away. I want to support blood donation, but this experience left me confused, disappointed, and feeling like I wasn't told the truth. So, I am not going back to Vitalant for sure but I will still explore more options to help out people.

Celerion is a pharmaceutical healthy/non study site with studies rolling 365 days a year. There is…read morealways going something down. This review is for their Phoenix location, but they also have another location in Lincoln Nebraska. Pros: Pay can be decent, but otherwise demanding Vis a Vis length of stays. Some studies require the whole year. Staff are usually amicable. The facility is spacious and nice. There are general areas situated in the dining hall where you can do a lot of work between procedures if you're moonlighting another job. Participants are usually friendly. Many speak Spanish , so if you speak it, you'll fit in quite well. Cons: usually screening visits encompass two separate days (that might be a week apart) : bloodwork and physical. Very rarely do they occur on the same day, but sometimes they do -- those are the studies you want if you're out of town! Competitive phone call: even if you pass your screening and physical, you still have one more task: to call in at a designated time slot. Call exactly at your designated time and prepare to have multiple phones, so you can have a greater chance of getting through the rush. Many studies require multiple returns which eats away at your time and profit. A lot of blood collections. They generally don't use catheters. Prepare your veins for discomfort and assault. They take in many backups. Such that if you're out of town it becomes not worth it even if you're accepted. In one study they took in a total of 80 participants to keep twenty. Sleeping quarters can shift everyday from bunk beds to the injection site area. You're gonna wanna bring a sleeping mask as in the test site area as there is an emergency light that is always on. Some of the studies you're required to eat everything in your meal. If you cannot, you will be promptly ejected from the study. Food is generally not of the greatest quality even when compared to hospital food (with few exceptions).

BANNED AFTER REPORTING BEING TOUCHED -- COVID RISKS, UNFAIR SCRUBS ENFORCEMENT…read more I reported another participant after he touched me without my consent. Management pulled me aside and then banned me, saying there were "multiple complaints" but refusing to provide incident reports or explain what the complaints were. I never threatened, disrespected, or hurt anyone. On top of that, staff placed people who were visibly sick with COVID in our station area (Station 1 by the nurse's station) instead of the upstairs isolation rooms. That blocked access to our bathroom and exposed other participants to sickness -- unhygienic, disrespectful, and unprofessional. Scrubs enforcement was inconsistent (many others were not wearing scrubs and were not disciplined), which felt retaliatory. I request that the site produce the incident reports that justify my ban, explain the complaint details, and outline the appeal process. If you care about participant safety, transparency, and basic hygiene, think twice before volunteering at Celerion.

There were a lot of uneasy appts, lack of communication and we felt they didn't understand our timeline. We both understand this journey isn't a fast journey but my husband is an active duty military member and he was deploying for 12 mos. We started this journey a little over 1.5 years and the last office was just dragging their feet and we voiced our concerns since he was preparing to leave last December. I went back to my primary care dr on base and they referred us to Dr Craig. His office is a lot farther from us but to be honest it is 100% worth the drive. From the very first appt with dr Craig in person was so easy and he went into great detail of all the test we did that day and wrote out a timeline txt plan. I really appreciated Dr Craig taking his time and sitting in person with me. The last office, I never met the dr in person. I did not like that at all. We asked for a sit down in person and was told those are phone appts. We did not like that. We unfortunately don't have a little baby running around yet but Dr Craig and his office have been so accommodating with our situation and have been very informative. We are hoping this next round of IUI will stick but overall we have really enjoyed our experience with the staff thus far. I highly recommend!

The doctor and his staff were clear, comforting, and provided a very realistic and doable treatment plan. We are so glad that we visited and naturally we are excited to continue our fertility journey there! My wife felt so relieved of stress that she cried as we drove away. It's baby time!!

Her name is Andrea and I am most impressed with the Customer Care I received! Thank you so much!

I was having some tests done that are not your run of the mill tests. The story goes like this... I wait an hour past my appointment time (this should have been the first red flag). Once in the back, I notice it is taking the lab tech extra long to put my lab order in the computer. I ask if everything is ok, lab tech says "yea, having a little trouble with one of these tests, can't seem to find it" (second red flag). About a minute after I ask if everything is ok the lab tech leaves the room, comes back with another lady. They are both looking at computer, tech 1 say's I'm not sure which one to use (third red flag), 2nd tech say's I think it's that one (fourth red flag). The second tech leaves, not 2 seconds later a third tech comes in, and says that the second tech wants her to check and make sure it's the right code (fifth red flag). Finally, after an hour of waiting after my appointment and 20 minutes in the room trying to figure out what code is correct I finally get my blood drawn. Fast forward a week and half. I hadn't seen anything come through my Insurance via my portal (I have had issues with Sonora not billing my Insurance in the past), so I called Sonora, and low/behold the rep tells me "Oh, your claim is on hold pending a letter from your doctor saying that this test was needed", say what?! The rep then proceeds to tell me that the test that was put in the system is not FDA approved! My mind is blown!!! Now I know why it was taking so long for the lab tech, instead of informing me that she could not find the correct code for that test she decided to find a code that closely matched the test I was suppose to get. It's still too early to get a bill because they still have not billed my insurance. I am be proactive and letting people know. I am also filing a complaint with my insurance and the BBB. If needed I will escalate to the district attorney's office. I should not be on the hook for a lab test that is not FDA approved, I should have been informed, and given the option to opt out!
