My first time coming the staff was very informative and make me feel safe. Considering donating? New Donor? Some types from a seasoned donor: -Give yourself a minimum of two hours to donate. An hour to donate and an hour to check in and wait. -Stay away from late appointments and lunch times if you can avoid. -Eat and hydrate before. -Upload any promotions prior to donating -You can request a phlebotomist (Miryan and Summer are awesome) -Bring a blanket or wear warm clothes. -Checkin is a small prick, donating is a bigger stick but not bad. You sit in a reclined chaise(lounger chair) while the machine removes the plasma and the blood is returned. -Sign up to donate and use my referral code : [https://info.biolifeplasma.com/new-plasma-donation-800-0422] or Coupon Code - 98374 I have rolling veins so I'm not an easy stick. My favorite phlebotomists are Miryan and Summer. They are professional, friendly, kind and very skilled. They are always very pleasant and ensure my comfort and safety. I love that and I'm thankful for them. If their management is reading this give them a raise and/promotion. I always see them hustling and going above and beyond. Recent Issue: Recently, I've seen a grumpy tech/manager, Sebastian walking around. Bad vibes. Today, I witnessed Sebastian announce prior to closing that they likely wouldn't be able to take donors. He sent two people home who've been waiting for nearly an hour. He seemed very motivated on sending people home, I watched the other techs pick up the pace. A customer complained stating that he'd driven over an hour. He said I can't control what corporate does and who they schedule. We have to go home and we have to be finished by a certain time. It's not our fault." SMH. And I JUST witnessed him nearly get into an altercation with a super friendly donor. I witnessed everything and there is something not right with this guy, Sebastian. Management should address and watch security footage. Please please PLEASE consider giving management/supervisory authority to individuals like Miryan, Summer and a lovely black lady with a beautiful Afro puff, I wish I knew her name. I appreciate they're professionalism, safe and swift service. I appreciate the new machines as they get you out quicker but you definitely feel it. I wish they would stock the center with hand soap and paper towels in the bathrooms. Also, masks would be great for clients and hand sanitizer at the questionnaire and vital station. Lastly, squishy balls that you can actually squeeze would be awesome Signed with love of donating, @ TheOriginalCharlestonian

No member of staff could say what was happening other than their systems were down. I asked for a manager who said I should stop asking questions (like did we have a time frame for any delay?) because it made her staff uncomfortable since they didn't know the answers: I said I had planned on a few hours but would like to know if I needed to reschedule. The manager shrugged. I called to complain and was rescheduled for another location. When I arrived and halfway thru the physical, I was told I was banned and all staff refused to speak further. If that's how they perform customer service imagine their medical skills!

I wonder if this was her motivation to belittle me in front of the other guests. This was definitely the vibe I got from her What a shame. I donate to do the right thing, not to be treated like a POS.

I had previously done over 11 donations in the Jacksonville area but due to an extremely demanding…read moretravel schedule and the rigors associated with it my donation frequency became slightly problematic. Working remotely I now have an assignment in the Orlando area which facilitates reassuming my donations here locally. My initial interaction with a help desk gentleman at 609 N Powers dr. Was nothing short of unprofessional, unwelcoming and borderline hostile. I was told that my address verification letter which had a USPS date stamp for the previous week was unacceptable and I was additionally insulted and asked who was the letter sent by . Even if the letter was sent from Santa Claus, that was in no way reflective of company policy, donor eligibility requirements, or my personal privacy. This staff is grossly unprofessional, displays aggressive patterns, of behavior and treat potential donors as an inconvenience . As a verified donor I merely required a change of venue, not a hostile interrogation from an inarticulate staff member.

Update: I am taking…read moreaway 2 of my stars. If it wasn't for most of the staff being nice it would be getting no stars. Every time the wait is horrendous. Either hire more staff, OR (because I understand staffing and finding employees is hard right now so i say OR) limit/reduce the amount of appointments allowed. This would result in better performance and less wait. I honestly despise coming because the wait is so long. What's the point of an appointment if you have to wait OVER an hour to even get started So far I'm only giving 4 stars because the wait is INSANE! I had my first donation, but everything took EXTRA long even more so. I understand I'm a new patient but when it takes OVER an hour waiting for each station it's insane. My appointment was for 8:50, I showed up promptly then. I did not leave until 1:20pm. So 4 and a half hours. Double the length it should have taken. The facility is nice and clean, staff is friendly but not clear at all in the beginning on the process or wait length. So we will see how donations go moving forward. But just prepared to have a free day your first time.

Two weeks ago, the "new girl" blows up my arm because she basically doesn't know what she is doing…read more She fumbled and hesitated and didn't appear to be confident in what she was doing. After she stuck me, I looked and to my amazement, the needle was all the way in! Now she's trying to withdraw it because there's no flow because she's not in the vein but, all the way through it! I know she's new because when things went wrong and someone stepped in to try to correct what she did wrong, I asked "how new is she"? She replied "new". Which to me implies very new and probably isn't ready to be sticking needles in someone's arm. So, now I have a hematoma the size of a wallnut and I'm deferred until it heals. There goes all my money for 2 weeks along with bonuses. But wait, there's more! I return after 12 days all healed up.But, before I donate I have to speak to management to discuss what happened on my last visit. Then, I go to vitals. She takes my blood pressure and says it is 184/97! That is impossible I stated. My blood pressure 2 hours before was 127/77. So, how the hell does my systolic go up 60 points in 2 hours? It doesn't! Maybe if I did 2 lines of coke and chased it down with 10 cups of coffee I could get it that high. It's because they don't know how to take blood pressure either. They are always using the wrong size cuff for one thing. Just look up how to properly take BP. The first thing mentioned is sitting with your feet flat on the floor relaxed etc. How can you sit relaxed, feet flat on the floor when you're sitting on a bar stool that's 4 feet high? So, then she tells me my "hematocrit" is low also. Of course I don't believe her for multiple reasons but if she can't take BP properly, well, you know. It gets even better. I get home and try to schedule an appointment for the next day but I can't because it says I'm deferred. That is ridiculous so I call customer service and get absolutely no where with those people. You shouldn't be deferred for BP and hematocrit. BTW, good luck if you have to get in touch with the donation center. Its not happening. I don't remember seeing anywhere on the risk poster "beware of knuckle heads". I'm tired of paying for THEIR MISTAKES! They don't even give compensation when it is so obviously THEIR FAULT!

This is the absolute WORST! I went here bc they offered the smallpox vaccine incentive, but…read morelearned you must first donate 2-3 times BEFORE the smallpox vaccine incentive. Ok, I was willing. The 1st visit- nobody seems to man the "customer service" desk, I arrived 5-10 minutes after opening and went directly to the customer service desk where I stood waiting for 10 minutes before a very bored looking technician asked if I need d something!? She got another sad/bored employee to help me. No one in this place looks happy, there is NO music, I went in February and the remnants of old Xmas decor was still partially taped to various places on the wall. I've gone 3 times now, every time the technician (always a different one) jabs the needle in my arm... then starts "threading" the needle in my vein!! The last time I was there: 4-5 "suits" there waiting for a manager, the kiosk dirty and looks like syrup on it (at opening), rude tech doing vitals calling out my weight, and while donating, a technician named something like Janeka (?) bummed my corner donation bed so hard, it shifted about 6" and she never apologized or checked if everything was okay! NO ONE is happy here.. not employees or donors! I'd rather go back to BioLife... not as much $$ but the employees are always so sweet, the place is spotless and music is always playing! Oh... and you can make an appointment and not have to wait HOURS! Kedplasma needs to just shut their doors: dirty environment, rude/unhappy employees.
