I didn't actually go to this location but I did donate blood with Red across at the Lakewood YMCA…read more The entire experience was great. I've honestly never had such a smooth and friendly experience donating blood before now. Th Red Cross staff are professional, patient and thorough. They made me feel comfortable from the instant I arrived for my appointment. They are also very organized and everything is clean and safely distanced. I will definitely continue to go to Red Cross as I continue to donate blood a few times a year. They also have a super easy-to-use app that keeps you updated and has your donor card for easy access.

This has become my regular location to donate blood. I had gotten lazy about donating, but during…read moreCOVID heard about the need for blood, and felt the obligated to get back into it. The one challenge is because of COVID, there are no more walk in appointments. In my experience the appointments now need to be booked several weeks in advance. The staff has always been friendly, and done an efficient job, which is important to me coming here after a work day. I will definitely be continuing to come and donate here.

My 5 star reviews only go out to Chelsea,and the manager SHAUN.and CHERITA The other problem is…read morethat All the managers, excluding SHAUN are locked in there office, not ever on the floor supervising staff. Dominique and the other girl always convesating with donors and using the "F" word.so by them doing that,some donors think it's ok to use profanity while talking, and not doing there job. This is a very serious being rude and showing no respect to others. I've donated twice a week for 10 years. Sorry, not anymore. I can't deal with employees fowl language every morning I'm there. No sense in telling them because they are not going to admit it. So this needs to be addressed to the entire staff when you have a meeting with all the staff.sincerely and respectfully submitted by Michael Giaimo.

I've been to this location 3 times in a row attempting to become a new donor, each time I was…read moreunsuccessful. First time, because I didn't know that they don't take new donors past 2pm. The next two times was due to staffing issues; except these past two visits were months apart. That's wild imo, and I honestly can't see myself ever returning to try for a fourth time.

I recently switched from the Austintown, Ohio Grifols location to the E 116th St., Cleveland, Ohio…read morelocation, and on my very first day I arrived at 1:00 pm, for a 2:00 pm appointment, but I didn't even get in the back, with five others still before me, until 3:00 pm, and hour later, and yet there I sat for another 30+ minutes, thereby taking some 2 hours and 15 minutes to donate. They conveyed that they are understaffed, and I may just discontinue my attendance at this location, in favor of a completely different plasma center! This place is a joke!!! Duct come here!!! Unless your time means nothing to you,!!!

This place is the worst donation center in all of Cleveland in my opinion . I been to BPL CSL and…read moreOcta.... This place is Understaffed so there is a minimum wait time of 2-3 hrs. Even if the place is empty it still will be a long wait. They pay 50 and then 70 if you donate twice in the same week but they may have to be closed randomly so sometimes you don't even get to make a second donation. The staff can be rude,they can make it extremely uncomfortable while you're strapped into the machine. They can also be very passive aggressive and do not like to be rushed or asked questions. Expect to leave feeling like a worthless person when you're done being juiced. Also they will not give you a drink unless you have an allergic reaction which is ridiculous .

This location is the best place to donate blood/platelets/plasma in Cleveland! I've been coming to…read morethis location exclusively for over two years now to donate blood every 2 months and donate platelets about every 3 months on average. The staff is top-tier, the snacks are abundant and varied (I stock up and fill my purse!), there is plenty of seating, comfy chairs, and of course, every platelet chair is hooked up so you can watch Netflix while you sit still and help save lives! Before I had to switch jobs last November and now no longer work in a hybrid role, I was here at least once a month. The staff all know me by name and after coming back after a 6 month absence, I was welcomed back with open arms!! Love it here!

I am AB Positive so I regularly donate at the Red Cross Warzel Center. Located on the near East…read moreside of Cleveland they do a fantastic job of making the donation process as easy as possible. You can find the donation times online for blood, platelets and plasma. Once you are signed up they will send you reminders and the day of the donation you can do the Rapid Pass to save you time when you come in. Located on Euclid Ave. you get buzzed into the parking area, sign in to the building and then go to the donation area. The check in process is well run and efficient. Since they limit the number of appointments at a time there is no waiting around like you may encounter at some of the blood drives. The plasma donation works by taking your whole blood and then returning the platelets to you, so it takes about 1 hour from start to finish. The staff is incredibly friendly and professional. They take very good care of you and make sure that you are OK throughout the whole process. After you finish there is a nicely stocked snack area to get some sweets and beverages. Red Cross also offers some bonuses such as T-shirts, hats and gift cards at various times during the year. If you are looking for a great way to help others consider making regular Red Cross Blood, Platelets or Plasma donations. It is a great way to give of yourself.

The workers in the front were great and helped me through the process. When I was sent back to the donation area this is where the trouble started. The first woman ( lady with redish hair and a wide blue headband on her head) who came over to help me stuck me with the needle but was unable to get it correct and asked someone else to step in. The process started and it was fine until it stopped and the Second Lady ( Long braids , very helpful and friendly) came to see what the problem was. I guess the First Lady ( blue headband) set the machine up wrong and it was not returning the cells to me. Which resulted in me being DEFERRED for 56 days. I didn't do anything wrong and yet I'm the only one to be negatively impacted (Loosing out on $700) The manager called me back and was super unhelpful and unprofessional. So moral of the story donor beware go to bio life in mentor instead * note I did get the first donation amount of $100 however I was set to get $800 total for donating over the next 35 days which now I cannot do so I am loosing out on a part of income for something that I did not do. If you do go make sure to get the girl with long goddess braids and dragon tattoo on neck she's fantastic.
