    Donate please!

    Gotta make an appointment! Showing up is nice, unfortunately, the new norm is you will not be able to donate without an appointment. Social distancing, the new norm, no longer supports walk-ins. Not a bad rule to follow, it keeps us all safe. Giving blood is something most persons can do. Not everyone may/can qualify, but it's worth an attempt!! With only a finger prick, and your iron is good you personally are good for giving a pint. I think they can also tell you your blood type. All types are good! Some better then others. If you qualify, that single donation may save a life. Please try. If you qualify you are giving the gift of life. Not everyone is able to do that! If you are in it for money... Plasma is the way to go. That my friend you've got to figure out on your own. Thank you for your time and reading my review. I might just be that person sitting 6 feet away doing a donation the same day as you! See ya there! 2020/April

    Does this facility pay for donations?

    No. Blood banks are not permitted to provide financial compensation. However, there is an online store with things to get with donation points, as well as constant promotions with free items and coupons

    The OctaPharma Plasma Plano center staff are wonderful - knowledgeable, friendly, helpful. I have…read morenever had a hematoma there and only one re-stick which was years ago with a trainee. I have donated with this center for years and have stayed at this OP Plano center for well over a year and have without feeling a need to rotate out to any other center or company. So, Five Stars for them. OctaPharma corporate and information services (push info on the app, customer service phone center, is ABSOLUTE:LY HORRIBLE. "Lies, damned lies, and OctaPharma Customer Service information" - Benjamin Disraeli Yesterday morning, due to the fact that people in my part of the South (USA) get scared to death when a snowflake falls, I called in to see if my center was open. Remember, with OctaPharma, the ONLY way we have to know such information is to call in to the Customer "Service" Center (CSC). They think that all kinds of info pushes out on the OctaApp that doesn't. So, one has to call. Of course, I called at 7:15 because forgot that despite the donation centers being open 7am-7pm, the bottleneck/CSC is only open during "normal business hours" 9am-5pm. So, I waited. My app was telling me I was able to donate but I suspect that is only "me" info, not taking into account anything about the donation center, and I didn't want to make the drive if they weren't open. Thus, just before 10am, I called back and got a rep on the phone: "Your center is open today from 7am-7pm." "You are sure that this info is good for the Plano TX center?" "Yes, that center is open from 7am-7pm." "And that is info for today, correct?" "Correct." So, I had a few errands to do and wanted to let meals kick in, so I went to the center at 5pm. Sign on the door said (not exact wording): "Reduced hours today. Our center will be open from 10am until 4pm." Arrrgh. I called the CSC and asked what hours the center would be open. "That center will be open from 10am until 4pm." Hmmm. "Are you able to tell what time you received that notification?" "Yes, sir, we received it at 10:03 am." So, either the center did not inform the CSC of their decision about operating hours until at least 3 hours after the center's decision was made (to not open at 7am) or the CSC had the info available but did not push it out officially to the reps for up to 3 hours after receiving it. I seriously doubt that the donation center left the phone center uninformed. I checked with the donation center and learned that they had made the modified-hours decision DAYS prior to the ice storm. I cannot believe for a moment they kept this decision secret for several days. And, of course, none of this updated-hours info was on the OctaApp beyond a message that some centers might be closed and donors should check first before going. Forcing us through this info bottleneck of uninformed script-readers and then ALSO giving out completely false information makes OctaPharma the worst of the worst in my opinion when it comes to helping donors with information. The drive in to the center wasn't hazardous, but it was very slow. They wasted my time yet again by not having the right info available in the right place at the right time, and essentially lying to donors. Everything else about OctaPharma is really great, as far as I'm concerned. But their corporate setup for info sharing is ATROCIOUS .

    I've been donating plasma for years and I've never experienced so many errors/false readings of…read moreprotein and hematocrit levels. I kept getting a low result so I decided to compare with another lab/plasma center nearby. I had my blood drawn within an hour of each test at Octapharma, Plano, TX and another plasma center and I easily passed the other plasma center where I was paid double Octapharma. I'm done. What a waste of time. NO MORE. Whoever is responsible for the quarterly protein tests is NOT doing their job accurately and I have proof this time. Bye bye

    AVOID THE CSL PLASMA LOCATION IN HALTOM CITY AT ALL COSTS…read more The operational incompetence, lack of leadership, and absolute disregard for donor safety and medical boundaries at this facility are a massive liability. During my scheduled donation, the machine repeatedly triggered "No Flow" draw alerts. Recognizing an impending vasovagal syncopal response, I explicitly withdrew all medical consent for needle adjustments and requested that a supervisor or senior phlebotomist take over the procedure to restick my other arm. This safety request was completely ignored by the floor staff. Since my original phlebotomist had abandoned the floor I had to request help my another floor phlebotomist to escalate the issue, but they returned to state that the senior phlebotomist refused to intervene because they "didn't want to step on anyone's toes" denying my request. Upon her return the original technician then proceeded to engage in blind, aggressive needle manipulation ("vein fishing") inside my tissue against my explicit verbal commands and physical protests, resulting in acute trauma to my perivascular nerves and a severe vasovagal crisis with tunnel vision. The medical negligence here is systemic. The donor immediately adjacent to me was subjected to identical technical incompetence by the same phlebotomist, causing her to suffer a severe syncopal crisis and vomit on the floor. Rather than deploying emergency protocols, the Medical Screening Assistant (MSA) subjected me to a hostile interrogation while I was losing consciousness, mockingly downplaying my cerebral hypoxia as "floaters" until I had to articulate my own syncopal response. Even mockingly stating that "You just expect us to roll out the red carpet for you" after requesting basic first aid for a medical emergency that their staff caused. She was also called to the floor shortly after when the adjacent donor next to me had a severe vasovagal reaction that induced vomiting and when the donor reported a sudden wave of heat, this same MSA mockingly told her, "Well, you have a hoodie on." To make matters worse, the MSA tried to cover up an incomplete blood return cycle by falsely claiming my red blood cells were returned--a physical impossibility since the left arm never achieved flow--meaning my cells were discarded as waste to evade federal FDA deferral regulations. The MSA then explicitly stated my severe reaction was "non reportable" in an attempt to mask donor injury caused by a rogue phlebotomist. They completely lost control of the floor, even allowing unauthorized civilians onto the donation floor when the mother of the adjacent donor rushed onto the donation floor to check on her daughter after seeing her have a severe adverse event reaction from the lobby/screening area. DO NOT DONATE HERE IF YOU VALUE YOUR HEALTH, BIOLIFE PLASMA IS A SHORT DRIVE AWAY AND HAS HIGHER NEW DONOR PAYOUT. A formal consumer safety complaint has been filed with the FDA Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER), and a formal Spoliation of Evidence Notice has been electronically issued to corporate legal to lock down all machine data logs and CCTV video loops from this date. Unedited audio/video recording evidence of the staff's verbal admissions has been securely archived for federal investigators. Unsafe, unethical, and completely unprofessional. The rogue phlebotomist and patronizing MSA are a danger to public health and a corporate liability.

    The staff is exceptionally trained and well mannered. I've also been a donor for this company for…read morethe last 19 years. They're the best of them of all of all time.

She then said why didn't I get any from the back! As I looked at her with frustration I replied I just left the bathroom. May I just have some from behind the counter and she went to grab some which was empty as well. I chuckle and said I'll just go to the gas station. Her response was that's your best bet.
