    TLDR: if you were fine with white blood, you'll probably be fine with bone marrow.

    My family has been a big supporter of blood donation so I have been going since high school. pretty…read moremuch every 54 days for 20 years. I have gone to various places over the years and the MGH Blood Donor Center is pretty much the best. They provide free parking, the process is so streamlined, you are out in no time and the workers there are skilled. NO PAIN! Plus free t shirts and treats after! Hospitals are in chronic need of blood so really, it's everyone's duty to donate!

    I'm giving them 5 stars even though it's only place I've ever donated blood or blood platelets for…read morethe simple reason that it's so clean and well run and although I have nothing to compare it to I can tell it's well run by the way they're so stringent on cleanliness and safety. You have to have certain numbers for heart rate blood pressure and iron in your blood which they do all tests before you can donate. I've given whole blood here but what I usually donate is blood platelets it's more needed according to staff and you can donate I believe every week or so unlike whole blood which takes longer although I forget exact length of time. Once you read and sign forms have those tests done you're ready to go. They have these curved padded chairs which are very comfortable there's TV's u can control and if u get cold blankets. Like I said I do Platelets and it usually takes about an hour and a half I stay on long enough to make Platelets for 2 people I guess I'm fortunate for some reason i have lots of Platelets I think single donations are about an hour but everyone's different. Although I don't like needles I donate because I know it'll help someone and I'm not rich to donate enough money to make a difference but I do have blood and I always feel better after donating it's a good feeling. They validate parking for you so parking is free

    Want to feel good and make a real positive difference in the world? Give blood! One blood donation…read morecan help save the lives of up to three people. The Braintree Red Cross center makes donating whole blood (or platelets) easy. Whole blood donation is normally what's meant by "giving blood" and is what's collected at blood drives. This center just recently changed to collecting both whole blood and platelet donations, when they used to be a platelet only collection center, so the receptionist will give you information on donating platelets (a longer process) but they won't pressure you away from donating whole blood. I donated whole blood today at this center & it was great. Walked right in, was greeted by the receptionist & given some required reading, before being brought to a room by a nurse so she could check my vital signs, and iron level. (Low iron is a common thing that can keep women from being eligible to give blood.) After you pass those tests, you're left alone to answer a few more questions on a computer about your eligibility to give blood. After that, you're brought to lie down and give blood. The needle stick isn't painful and the process is pretty quick! It takes 40 minutes, you get juice, cookies, and a great feeling of "yeah! I really can change the world for the better!" when you leave after donating. And the staff will make you feel like a hero for donating. What's stopping you from making a blood donation? You know you want the blood supply available to you or a friend/family member when they need it in a medical emergency, but sadly blood has a limitted shelf life, so the supply needs regular donations. I walked in today, since there is a blood shortage due to regular donors not making as many appointments as they usually do due to taking vacations.

    Just a little back story before the review... nearly a month ago Boston suffered a major tragedy…read more After the Boston Marathon bombings, I was in a state of shock and disbelief of what had happened. In wake of the events that took place, I knew that I wanted to do something to be able to 'help'. On Tuesday, April 16th, I tried to go on to the American Red Cross website to see where I could donate blood, unfortunately so was a lot of other people apparently because the site was slowed down to a crawl. I knew that there was a donation center in Braintree so I decided to go over on my lunch break. Upon arriving the line was out the door. There was numerous people wearing Boston Marathon jackets, all I could think of was "wow, you just ran 26.2 miles yesterday and now you want to donate blood today. WOW!". I got up to the desk to inquire about donating but I had already heard that they were completely booked solid. The receptionist was extremely nice about it, saying that she could possibly get me in the following week or I could attempt to come back before they closed that night. At this point I was willing to come daily until they took my blood. I decided to stop in after getting out of work to see if they had the time to take me. When I got there, the same receptionist told me that she would fit me in because I had come earlier in the day. The phones were still ringing off the hook and people were still walking in to attempt to give. There was a group of 6 or 7 other young people waiting to donate. We talked about what had happened, what was happening. I think that it comforted us all to talk to each other while we waited. The nurses were still very busy and the receptionist apologized for the wait, we all told her that it wasn't a problem and not to be sorry. I was able to do my pre screening and then give blood. The nurse that took my blood, Anna, was extremely nice. She made sure that I was comfortable the whole time. Even though I was there longer due to the high demand to donate, the whole donating process took less than 30 minutes for whole blood. Afterwards, they had me sit down, eat a snack and drink some water. They let me know what precautions I needed to take in the upcoming days and when I would be eligible to donate again. I would definitely recommend this donation center to anyone that was thinking about giving blood to the Red Cross.

    I have donated at CGT for over 2 years and followed them from Arlington to Boston. I have donated…read morewhole blood, activated white blood cells and bone marrow. (Not sure I'll do marrow again) I have always had a good experience (barring one phlebotomist who had a hard time with my big veins). Their schedulers (Nicolle and Cal) are extremely nice and always treat me well with their text and emails. Their new facility is nicely appointed and the parking is easy. I do wish the paperwork could be streamlined, but it is mostly the same each time, with a few added pages for each program. They always do full vitals: weight, BP, temp, and take a quick blood sample for crit levels. The process is easy and the payment immediately goes on a refillable debit card which you can use for transactions at stores or ATMs. If you lose your card, they can issue you another one. I don't work for them and am not paid for this review. I would not have written it, except there was a poor review I could not ignore.

    In a word? Don't. Their protocols HAVE dropped unacceptably, as in, no temperature check, no blood…read morepressure check, the phlebotomist wasn't nice about tightenting the cuff so badly I emitted a shout of pain, as in, no I'm sorry I hurt you....AND they have this weird system where you must save the prepaid card...for 8 months. If you didn't save the card, you DO NOT get paid with another one, bc a 8 month lapse is understandable. I have no problem telling a judge to reject their claims of harassment, given that they don't check ID, and even at the Mass Eye & Ear THAT is mandated. They must be going out of business, so the standards sunk.
