Gave blood here for the first time in awhile. First time I have ever in Florida…read more I just want to say that everyone should donate blood, you're not only doing something to save a person's life but you get treated like a princess (or prince) when you are doing it. They give you soda and snacks, free t-shirt and whatever else they have free available at the time. I received a free ticket to the strawberry festival. The person who drew my blood was absolutely amazing older woman. We ended up talking about prostitutes in Portland, OR at one point. Great conversation by the way! After giving blood I started to feel light headed and getting a cold sweat, nearly blacked out. (It tends to happen with me because the blood takes FOREVER to get out of me and especially when I haven't donated in awhile, so it probably wont happen to you). Once they noticed it, they were right on top of it with a wet cloth on my forehead and neck. They brought down my chair so I was lying down and held the sprite for me to drink it and got me a rice crispies treat until it went away. This was the best place to give blood I have been to so far! ADORED it. Everyone go donate NOW!

I love the monthly updates via email and promotional incentives for donors. I have been at this for @ least 13yrs now and have met many great people and nurses. I usually bring my daughter and it's never a problem. Staff members are very friendly & treat her well when she is with me. You can make contact via web site for company bus blood drives. If you would like to set up a monthly blood drive for your support! I have many family members who suffer from cancer and I have found out I am a great universal match for plasma and platelets donations, so I usually get messages or emails to come in.

*******B E W A R E*********…read more ONE BLOOD FAILED TO HONOR MY REWARDS CARD!!! I donated blood (again) at One Blood Dale Mabry office April 2. Was given rewards card---as usual. On my member log-in page my card NEVER gave me the $20 I was PROMISED....the $20 card I was GIVEN BY ONE BLOOD STAFF....the $20 rewards that are ALL OVER THE OFFICE...their WEBPAGE...and my member portal!!! ******FRAUD******* After 6 days I called One Blood Orlando HQ----no reply from 2 agents I've dealt with in past. One (Salman Warsi), emailed that the policy was changed and monthly donors DO NOT GET REWARDS: "Starting 03/30, therapeutic donors who donate before the 56 day window are not eligible to receive rewards. The general and challenge rewards are tied to the standard whole blood eligibility of every 56 days. eGift Card rewards are only provided when donations occur within that eligibility window. If a donation happens before the 56 day window, even if it is doctor recommended, it does not quality for rewards." NOWHERE IN THEIR OFFICE.... in my portal....or on their WEBPAGE was this "CHANGE IN POLICY" posted!!!!! THIS IS FRAUDULENT....reude.....immortal...and very poor public relations!!! I've given over 2 gallons in recent months! YOU'VE BEEN WARNED----ONE BLOOD IS NOT TRUTHFUL, LEGAL, FORTHCOMING or even respectful of their donors!!! Instagram lists several local alternatives for blood donations. If ONE BLOOD treats others like they did me....soon they will lose donors and their credibility will fly out the door like their job security. ****ONE OF WORST EXPERIENCES I'VE HAD WITH A "CHARITABLE" ORGANIZATION. ********

Very easy to use... and they had several open appointment times that made it very convenient. When I arrived, had a little bit of paperwork to do, and a tablet based questionaire for some easy questions. They took me back and I met my phlebotomist. Her name was Val... and she was awesome. Answered any questions I had, was very friendly and made me very comfortable. She did a excellent "stick"... got the vein on the first try... and took what she needed. She kept me entertained the whole! Really a great experience. If you would like to donate, this is a great location to do it at... although I have never had a bad experience on the Big Red Bus either. They all do a good job! Highly recommended!

Stay away from this place, it looks questionable and the staff's abhorrent. I've only ever donated at BioLife on Waters Ave, the staff there is absolutely amazing!

I finally got my chance on memorial Day. I chose CSL plasma because their information on their app was very comprehensive. The three staff members that took care of me on my new donor visit were outstanding. Miss Gwen did my intake assessment and she was precisely by the book. As a career oncology nurse, I know that processes and standards are there to ensure safety, and I was so relieved with her attention to her facility's standards. Miss Nakina did my physical assessment, and again I saw that commitment to precision and safety. My technician who did the actual procedure was Miss Letti, and she must have used a magic needle because I didn't feel a thing! I felt so safe there. The debit card is a safe way to receive payment, and I strongly suggest reading the paperwork/schedule of fees that comes with it so you don't spend money on fees you don't have to! Hmm, wonder if CSL needs a part time RN? Thank you, CSL Plasma, looking forward to many happy donations!
