So I always have a positive experience here, However I went a week ago Sunday at 3:05 or so for a 3 pm Appointment. The lady had me checked in system at 3:09 for apt but mentioned that it might not let me check into kisok for donation today. Well sure enough I could not sign in as it said that a appointment had not been found for me. I understand that I was late but the system should be timed & synced properly. So unfortunately I lost $100 as it was supposed to be my 2bd donation of the week. I also lost out on the $50 frequency donation as Feb only had 28 days & I would of gotten it this past friday had I been allows to donate. I still plan to come here but I am just a little frustrated over this and would like to be somehow compensated for this still. Thanks Ron. To God Be The Honor, Glory & Praise.

I am a previous rare blood type donor with another plasma donation company Biolife is the absolute WORST There is no way to get an actual human being on the phone it is just an endless ro ot voice phone tree I am calling another facility to donate plasma immediately read more

They are ridiculous didn't even get through my physical because my ID had tape but it's a valid legal ID that I use for everything and anything waste of my time don't bother donating here there are better places like CSL read more

Great experience every time. Liz is the best and keeps the team going. Always a pleasure

this place sucks they slow asf it's always an excuse i wouldn't recommend coming here you will be here for hrs!!!!!

I take a drug for my PsA and after all this paperwork, they asked what or if I take any prescription meds. I have a permanent refusal for any future donations. Avoid this company and donate through Vitalant, near this location. read more

I've been donating with biolife for 5 years between Northlake, Addison, and Villa Park. This location in Villa Park is definitely my favorite. Tijana did a great job. She made it my easiest donation. She did one take with no alterations or complications. And no bruising! I really appreciate her quality of care read more

The staff here are really kind & super helpful. For example Rory took care of me today with my donation during my screening as well as phlebotomy. Rory is super nice & has a professional attitude 100%. He deserves a raise for all the hard work he contributes to the 5 star rating I gave today! Thanks Rory read more

I have completed over 60 donations at this facility and I find the staff to be extremely helpful, professional, and knowledgeable. Thanks to the entire team for your patience and hard work!! read more

two weeks in a row after being fine to donate on Friday and coming in and Sunday for the big money payout, they tell me two weeks in a row that my iron is low. I'm a very healthy person,vegetables and meat every day. I just decided that I'm not going back I will find another! read more

They are amazing and efficient as always! Also, great job adapting to the unfortunate saline shortage and keeping the efficiency as high as always! read more

I would highly recommend this place to anyone. Very clean facility and the staff were very welcoming especially Tiyanna she was a pleasure to work with! read more

Transphobic. Kid up front asked me if I was trans within seconds of the evaluation- two hours later during the physical I was told I'm not being denied for being trans but I can't donate today and I need a note from my doctor. This "rule" isn't listed online anywhere - the manager "Marvin" also told me it isn't written anywhere and refused to give me a copy of this policy. He then kicked me out. Avoid. Blatant discrimination/ transphobia. read more

Exceptional cannulations performed by the staff. Also very welcoming and accomodating. Willie took great care in the cannulation to keep the Cannulation pain to a min. read more

This was my first donation. Everyone at the Villa Park office was very friendly, patient, professional and concerned. They took the time to explain everything and checked up on me often. They made sure that I had enough to eat. The facility was extremely clean. My nurse, Bon was awesome. My second donation at the Harwood Heights office was a nightmare. I will be driving the extra 10 miles to go back to Villa Park. read more

If you have the misfortune of having psoriasis or eczema & are ever thinking of donating plasma, don't bother. Save yourself the humiliation and 3 hours of wasted time filling out their forms only to be told that they will not let you donate once they look at your eczema and treat you like a leper. Then, when I asked to have my sensitive information I had just given them removed from their computer, snot nosed college age "managers" inform you they don't know how and don't know how to contact a corporate entity that might be able to help. Very professional ,takeda medical. Way to treat people's private information and waste their time. read more

If you are a senior, THEY WILL NOT TAKE YOUR PLASMA! They require you to show proof that you do not have illness that they do not require for anyone under the age of 66! That is Age discrimination! They will find a reason ANY REASON to disqualify you and refuse to allow you to donate. After my 5th rejection asking for a doctors note I left. The people who work there are only following rules set by a company that is CLEARLY guilty of age discrimination. You could be a crack head and say you aren't, they take your word for it. But try being an old crack head...NO DICE! However they respond to this review, they're LYING!!! read more

When I started coming here they were newly opened and wait times were ridiculously long. After several months it was great. I would be in and out most days in an hour. Now that they have the donor comeback program giving as much as new donors, wait times are just stupid. My question is why can they give donors who haven't donated in over a year that kind of money but not the people who come regularly. Even the frequency bonuses are smaller and less often. I suppose this isn't a specific center issue but a company issue. They need to reevaluate the structure of their bonuses and payouts. The only good thing is the staff, well most of them except the racist one(s) read more

I've been coming to this establishment for over a year and never had an issue at all. Great customer service and the process is quick and fast. Best service ever. Donna (The Goat) Is the best, she keeps this place moving and people in line for great quality service with a smile on her face. Definitely a great experience and my favorite place to donate.. She will take care of you whether your a first timer or been coming for a while. Highly recommended. read more

BioLife does not care about you. They can hurt you and it's not their problem. I have been badly bruised twice by their associates. I went back after the first bruise healed and showed an employee the picture and she shrugged. I went back again two days ago and the needle was removed after a few minutes because the girl inserted it wrong and I one again have a significant bruise. You need to realize that you are not their patient or customer. They don't care about you and can cause you injury and there's nothing you can do about it. The money is nice, but it's not worth the problems you can be caused. read more

This was my first experience donating plasma and it was more than I'd expected. The center was very clean and the staff were very understanding and helpful. I was fortunate enough to have the best technicians in Chicago to draw my blood and to provide services for the plasma deposit. The management was on top of things, even when circumstances arose they gave clarity on the situation and answered any questions patrons would have. I look forward to my next plasma donation in the next few months or so. Great work, 87th Crew!!! A+++ read more

Wow! What a great experience! BiolifeFresno has incredible staff, kind and professional, J.R., Kevin, Daisy were and continue to be top notch as well as the technicians I see on a bi weekly basis! Just completed my 8th donation and got my new donor promotion completed, I had researched the other donation centers and the staff at Biolife in Fresno CA were what made the difference in me choosing Biolife! Thanks for all you do, Sincerely, Dan K. read more

Everyone I've worked with has been really nice, and I've been coming here for at least 3 years. Lots of great staff, and everyone seems to be in a good mood. They know how to stick and not bruise you as opposed to other plasma locations. Will definitely be back. read more

All the other reviews I've read here on Yelp DO NOT accurately describe this place. Most of them seem to be uniformed or incompetent people who don't understand what donating plasma is like. I have donated plasma over 10 times at this location and each one has been great. The front desk people are generally friendly and the phlebotomists are skilled and quick. The atmosphere is professional and comfortable, and I would recommend donating plasma here to anyone. read more

Employees don't always have their masks on nor do they enforce the masks to be on for donors as much as they should including social distancing. It's inconsistent. Employees at the front don't always wipe down the counter after each donor. Had to tell them. Yikes! read more

I come to this location all the time but today they were moving slower than usual. My appointment was set for 10:55 I was still waiting in line to get my pre check done at 11:40. Had to leave because I was not gonna be able to finish the donation before going to work. Sucks because I can't get my $80 for my second donation. read more

Did two donations and during second donation I got a hematoma The next two donation visits I was told my vein on left arm was too small. Went to quest diagnostics a coue days later for blood work and was told I have GREAT vains! I had hydrated eaten well followed all instructions given to prepare for donation when I was turned away! I then receive a call stating my sample given which they take every 4-7 months ... I haven't been a patient that long. Came back abnormal?? I called multiple times with only voicemail available. Left a message multie times with no response!! Scary!!!!!! N read more

I'm starting to see that the bonus is a scam. They "lost" my original blood test from 17 days ago, and now I will need to submit another one and wait 7 days for the results, which will negate the bonus. Their lab lost my bloodwork, and now they won't honor the bonus because it will be after the 30 days. How convenient. read more

So I have come back this place twice already after the initial physical that took 3 hours. Both times had a 25 minute delay because the "computer software is updating" and gives me an error every single time. Today, I come in for another donation and they tell me I need to do another "Speed" test and I can't donate in the same day I do this test. This is the same test that I ALREADY did the day that I waited 3 hours for a damn physical. The staff here is incompetent. When my mom did her Speed test, they kept sticking her in an arm with bad veins and she was BRUISED BEYOND BELIEF. They don't know what they're doing half of the time. The app never works despite the staff telling me that Villa Park is listed as my home center. Don't even waste your time coming to this place. Go to the Bolingbrook center instead. This place is an absolute joke. read more

There's nothing wrong with the staff or the service but there is a major problem with either staffing shortages or management of the schedule for when donors come in. I starting donating here when it opened. I've donated over 100 times. Wait times have been long here and there but now it is consistently way too long. I had to walk out today after the screening and before donating because I have to pick my kids up for their activities. We have things we have to do. There's no reason for any of us to have to wait more than an hour or more just to start because it takes over an hour once you actually get a chair. Either schedule the staff appropriately or manage the app so there are not so many people donating at one time. Something has to change. This is even a larger issue at the Harlem location. I use both often depending on if I am working from home or at the office. read more

Terrible customer service- they schedule appointments at 6am but don't open the doors till 6:15- when people schedule appointments around work this makes people late. Called manager and never received a call back. Don't understand why this continues to happen. Terrible customer service. read more

On the fence with donating plasma. Its hit and miss with my veins. If I don't get the first try spot on they have to go again and usually I wind up with two bruises and unable to donate within the 7 day period. not sure if I will continue. not worth the compensation. Initial donation compensation set up is great but after that not so great. Makes me wonder how much the hospitals charge patients for plasma. read more

Bio life has made me never want to donate plasma again. This is my 4th donation out of 8 for my new donor bonus and I will not be returning. I have been waiting for over 2 hours past my original appointment and they have not even hooked me up to the machine. They are ridiculously understaffed and several have bad attitudes. I waited over 3 hours my very first time donating and was told it would be a lot shorter for my next donations. If they want people to donate more, they need to make it a faster process. read more
