I've been donating for several months. The wait has gotten progressively longer. It used to take 45…read moreminutes for the entire donation but the longest was 2 hours. A couple of weeks ago, I was told I needed to give a blood sample which I did. Then I received a letter from Biolife stating I could not donate because I had a STD. I called to get more information and was told they could not discuss my results over the phone. I went to the health department and took another blood test. Turns out the first test was a false positive. I never had the STD. Then I got a call from Biolife stating that I could donate again. The whole experience was unpleasant and stressful.

He told me the classes I needed to do online but that they would not be offered until after my class I go to. I explained I needed to take a Certification that I had TAKEN the courses online b4 the classroom meets. He kept arguing with me. I had to tell him how it worked. I finally asked to speak to an English speaking person & he put the English speaking person who was teaching him, sitting right beside him on the phone !!!! I was on my Netbook & someone told me I could not use my Netbook and would have to start over on Internet Explorer on my Laptop !!! I had even taken my Exams !!! I started ALL OVER on Internet Explorer and then was told later I HAD TO BE on Chrome and had to start from the beginning AGAIN !!! My Certificates didn't show up I called again and still they could not tell me what was wrong and still,as usual kept getting d/c. I ended up signing up w/ Am. Heart Association and dropped this Course, It is the WORST ONLINE COURSE EVER !!!I have a Master's in Health Science too !!! Very sad b/c it is really needed.

She not only couldn't get it but then asked another associate for "adjustment" I left without donating as she couldn't get it correctly. There is a small tear and it is still painful. I used to get monthly bloodwork so I know how quick it can be. Not sure why this happened today but won't chance again which is too bad as I have AB positive. It's a needed donation.

I've not donated plasma in a very long time, and the opportunity to do so piqued my interest. I…read morecontacted this location after reading the reviews for the other plasma donation center in town, and thought that this one with its slightly better reviews would be a better fit. Unfortunately that was not the case. When I called on Friday I was told the center does not accept new donations by appointment, all new donors must do walk-in only, but the policy on that is very opaque and nonexistent at best. Nothing on the website says that it is a "first come, first serve" basis. In fact when I spoke to someone on Friday about a new donation, he said come in anytime before five. Now if it were first come first serve, why would I not be told that then? Monday, when I went in slightly before 3 o'clock I was told that I would be unable to become a donor today, and that I should come back early morning tomorrow. When I balked at this, and asked why, they said that it was simply because of manpower, they didn't have enough nurses to fully run the facility, and that there were already two people ahead of me in line. I called back after a few minutes on the way home to question the policy even further. Not only did the website not say anything, neither did the man that I spoke with on Friday. Of course the receptionist simply denied, denied, denied it. "I wouldn't have told you that," she said. Well that's great, but that guy did, and why would you run a business where you can only take a certain amount of donors at any one time and not say on your website "hey, don't come by, we don't have room for you." Why would you even have that policy in place to begin with. It would all be so much clearer if you could simply schedule your donation so that you weren't just rolling the dice by coming in on a random day at a random time. That is not respectful of your donors nor the time that they take in order to to donate. It doesn't matter if you're paying them money or not, that's just disrespectful. So no, I will not be donating at this location, they have lost me as a "customer" (or rather a donor). I have no intention of coming back nor would I suggest anyone use this facility for the blatant disrespect they showed the customers by this first come first serve policy. You close at 7 PM it's 3 PM and you have two new donors ahead of me and mine that's on you that is not incomet for me to come back another day. Or simply you're assuming that I will come back no thanks I have better things to do than keep rolling the dice thinking that you guys can take me. I don't need to do this that badly, and maybe that's the problem. Maybe most of the people that donate plasma are in desperate spots and so they simply assume that you will do it because you're desperate to get paid. I'm not, maybe that's the difference. Avoid this company at all cost. They do not respect you.
