I don't know if their team condones this as a parking perk, but it just seems blatant disregard for the public.

I did have trouble making an appointment online, but called and got one scheduled however they also take walk ins. Checkin is self initiated, with lots of sanitizer available, and then a series of tables and chairs to wait at. Right now with the need for blood, it was definitely busy but the staff was very apologetic and continued servicing each donar with speed. I've given blood many times with many centers and I was very impressed with their response when I passed out after donating casually eating my crackers. They swooped me up, got me in a wheel chair quickly with lots of ice packs and settled into a bed. Shout out to Denise who managed my vitals, got my head and lip checked out, then gave all the info to my husband to take me home after clearing it with the rest of the staff. They then called the next day to check on me. I felt really comfortable with this location and the staff that was working enough to go back. She let me know to tell them I had an incident before and they would take extra precautions. I'm happy I could give blood to support those who need it and have so many wonderful people and places to take on that job. Recommend this establishment.

I honestly never thought I'd be motivated to rate a blood donation center 5 stars, but I was…read moreincredibly impressed with my experience at Lifesource. I got in, got checked in right away- we went through all my medical history questions (after checking my blood to make sure my iron levels were high enough to donate) and everything else went incredibly smoothly. Everyone on the staff was informative, friendly and helpful. They said they're in the most need for red cells, so if you're getting that itch to do some good for the world, consider donating red cells -- though of course while blood, platelets and plasma are graciously accepted as well. They make sure you're ok after you donate by asking you to have a snack and wait a few minutes. Really, I felt like they did everything right. Donating full blood took me about 8 minutes. Hoping to go back in 8 weeks (the mandatory waiting period). And you should too.

Other than that staff is okay and you get your money when you do this part. When you do visit hopefully you see a security guard that looks like actor Mario Lopez from saved by the Bell and Pacific blue. Unfortunately I couldn't get a good picture of him. The security guard even smiles like him.

I'm very disappointed with this location. While the pay is decent, the amount of time it takes to…read moredonate is beyond unreasonable. As a first-time donor, I expected the process to take longer, which was understandable. But every visit after that should be quicker, smoother, and more efficient. Instead, the wait times are consistently extreme. I've only successfully donated twice because the other times I had to leave after waiting far too long. On one visit, I was 39th in line just to check in--that didn't even include waiting in the back to be called for a bed to actually donate. I'm currently sitting here again, waiting for hours, and watching staff casually chat instead of checking people in. There seems to be no urgency, no respect for donors' time, and no concern for the fact that people are stuck here wasting their day. This place tries to give off the appearance of being well-organized, but in reality, it's anything but. There is absolutely no reason regular donors should be waiting this long. The lack of efficiency is infuriating and makes me not want to return.
