This is regarding the Cumming Facility. One of the…read moretechnicians was coughing like they had TB. I provided my phone number 3 times and they still got it wrong. I question the infection control as they were touching everything. We had tablets to answer questions that were not wiped down. They missed my vein - I never gave blood as the pain of multiple attempts caused me to become congested and shooting pain in arm.

Sometimes, the line can be long for the wait. Average service time per donation can vary from 2hrs…read more- 4hrs. The staff here can be friendly. Photos and videos are not allowed in the facility. But, that doesn't stop people from posting them regardless. Each donation amount varies from 699ml - 899ml per session. Make sure to drink lots of fluids and have some food prior to each appointment scheduled.

You ask what could improve? Try everything…read more They screen people who are in good health, but easily accept people who are homeless and otherwise down and out. The facilities seem unacceptable, from an aseptic point of view. I would not only be afraid to donate at this center, but also afraid to accept plasma that had been donated there. They ask questions such as how many different sex partners have you had in the last... period of time, and so on. The only sex I've ever had is with my husband, but I'm screened because I have diabetes and high blood pressure, and I need approval from my doctor. It seems a little backwards, doesn't it?

The only employee I've seen constantly give it her all and do everything she can to keep this place above water is Breanna the phlebotomist and she gets no help nor appreciation. This place is a joke and will probably loose the only employee they have worth a damn because of their negligence. Give that women a raise!!!! Before you have no one.

Also I've called many many times and only once was I ever able to get someone to answer the phone. Plus just be aware that if you ever have a doctor's order to give blood, that's not enough. You must obtain a form from LifeSouth and have your doctor fax it to their home office. Then it'll take at least 2-3 business days to process but forget trying to call to verify if it's been processed because nobody ever answers the phone. Most likely you'll just waste time going in. Terrible operation in my opinion.

Beware of BIOLIFE ;-( Appears they think they're better than any other plasma collection…read morecompany. BioLife can go FUCK OFF! BioLife - Needs to seriously educate their staff! I was checking out BioLife on May 14th, told has to be 7 days from last visit to CLS was May 11th, told to return on May 18th. Spent 3+ hours becoming a new member at BioLife, after the full exam, getting drained and told to return on Wednesday 20th as that would be 2nd in 7 days. I return to BioLife on 20th, told I'm still popping up in system at CLS, so return on 22nd today. Now, told that because I have popped up 2 times as another center, I'm band from BioLife for every!!! That's there rules, not anyone else's rules. So I have only gave plasma once in 7 days (Monday to Monday is 6 days) but, because I checked in on 20th and the 14th (gave nothing, no blood test or plasma), just checked IN, I CAN'T go to BioLife Plasma every again! That's just dumb! All because there STAFF us not trained properly. Spoke with manager stephanie , and she apologizes and says we'll train her people!

Based on 2 years of plasma donations: Pros: friendly staff,…read moreand the phlebotomists seem better trained than other places. Cons: the wait time can be up to 3 hours of standing in line, especially ever since they switched to the new machines (which are perpetually breaking) in early 2025, and they are the lowest paying around -- when you combine the pay with the wait time, it finally made me leave to see how the competition treats their donors.

This would have been my first time donating with this location or Octapharma in general and am…read moreprobably not coming back to this location or going to any other locations because it doesn't make sense for me to go out of my way just to potentially donate and to potentially save somebody else's life and potentially get paid less money than my plasma is worth. Every time I came to this location. The system was either down or they wasn't taking no new donors for some reason. Sometimes it'll be a line and of course I don't know how many people are actually at work at that time so sometimes I get it. Although most times when I went it would be maybe 5 people in line and maybe a few people in the back but they was still taking no donors. I would like to add I've been trying to do this for a full month now on different days at different times early and later in the day but same result. Even calling the donor advocates line didn't resolve anything and it seems like they are reading from a customer service handbook and not really able to help with anything other than basic donor stuff that you can research on the website yourself. Only thing I can say is that the workers who I have talked to in the center seemed nicw so I can't complain there.
