    In the past I would give to the Red Cross but the locations are inconvenient and last time they hit a muscle that is still sore. I found this Carter Blood care close to my house, if you complete the prescreen online it speeds up the process. From the quick check in, to giving whole blood it took 35 min. Which is faster than usual. Great crew today. Charlotte started it off then Jennifer finished it off. Both very nice and professional, explaining everything along the way. No soreness and very convenient. I will be back!

    This is my new preferred donation center! It was super easy to schedule an appointment online and fill out the day-of questionnaire before I arrived. I was prompted greeted and check in at my appointment time before being led to the pre-screening room. Jenny was so kind and personable, and made me feel at ease. I was then handed off to Donna who helped with the set up and donation process She was also amazing! She found a vein and got everything set up like a pro. Great environment with low music and not too clinical lighting. The canteen/snack area was clean and well stocked! They have promotional donation gifts such as 1/4 zips and water bottles depending on the date of your appointment. They are even doing a point system that you can collect and redeem points for gift cards and other items. 10/10 would recommend this donation center and I already booked my next appointment!!

    Please Read Before Visiting CSL Plasma…read more I'm genuinely shocked by the positive reviews of CSL. Based on my experience, they must be from bots or staff--there's no other explanation. If I could give zero stars, I would. I've visited three times, and each visit was worse than the last. I'm officially done. I originally chose CSL because it was closer than Biolife, but that was a huge mistake. The difference between the two is night and day--like comparing a thrift store to Neiman Marcus. CSL is dirty, disorganized, and unprofessional. On my first visit, the needle fell out and caused a large hematoma, sidelining me for two weeks. Every visit since, I've been forced to wait for medical clearance, even when unnecessary. The check-in process is chaotic and poorly managed. The most concerning part: during my last donation, no staff member was monitoring donors for an extended period. If something had gone wrong (as it did during my first visit), there was no one nearby to help. At Biolife, staff are always present and attentive. If you're looking for a safe, professional, and efficient experience, skip CSL. Go to Biolife instead--you'll immediately see the difference.

    No bruising! These other reviews left me terrified and put off coming to this location. Big…read moremistake. The staff was so welcoming and accepting, they are LGBTQ+ friendly, and super good at communicating with you. It was my first time donating and they got me through the process swiftly. My biggest concern was getting a bad nurse, due to these other reviews, I was horrified and anxious (I have a bad history with IVs being inserted as well). Dawn was the nurse attending to me and she was SO sweet and professional. She handled my bad jokes like an absolute champ, and when I wasn't feeling good she and every nurse available was happy to assist. They are so attentive and genuinely happy to help. And not a single bruise!!!! Im ASTOUNDED at how good this treatment was, and not to mention you are doing a good thing for money in return. An absolute all around win. I will be returning. Big thanks to all of the staff!

    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

    I set an appointment... I came in. There was at least a good 25 to 30 minutes of waiting even…read morethough I had an appointment. It took me in the back for vitals, blood testing, etc. they were going to take platelets... They put me in the chair hooked me up... Started running the whole process... Then about five minutes later they come out and tell me that my platelet count was just under the threshold and they had to stop the process. they basically disconnected everything and sent me out. I told him I still needed to get blood... So can you just do that? The answer was "no since we started this process we can't". Clearly they should have known this before they got me in the chair... But the most frustrating part? I still needed to give blood. So I came back a month later... And then they say you just gave platelets so you can't. I don't think I did get platelets... As they stopped the process so quickly that it wasn't even a full process. In short... These guys are really disorganized. I don't know if this is how all the Carter centers are... But this one is really disorganized. I wasted a portion of two different Saturday mornings trying to donate. I won't be returning to the center. American Red Cross donation center in Plano... Further drive... But they did not have any issues And got me in the chair in an efficient manner.

    A very clean facility staffed with super friendly out going people. This is my third visit here…read moreand I try to donate as often as I can. Having this location so close to home makes donating a lot more easier and convenient for me.
