A little more care with blood samples. I had someone today…read moreprick my finger for the blood sample and then squeeze my finger from the middle of the finger all the way to the tip so severely hard and so long that it was painful. I noticed that I already had a good blood flow and plenty of blood coming out of the puncture directly after the needle prick and enough blood to wipe the finger clean and continue with placing blood into the slender glass tube, it was enough blood coming out already to fill up the tube, without the excessive squeezing and pushing on the finger. I thought we squeeze fingers like that only if we are not able to get enough blood flow to place inside tube for testing. My blood was already coming out pretty fast and full. I noticed today that the finger is a bit sore and I have never experienced that before after a finger being pricked and squeezed for a sample.

I give Grifols plasma donation center in Chicago ILL on IrvingPark rd a neg -0 star. they pocked my…read moreright arm 3 different times start stop the machine by 3 different lab attendants. after gauging out my vein they go for the other arm making it a total of 4 attempts very painful! After all that to only get compensated $50. Not worth it! I will not return nor I would recommend anyone to go there. BioLife plasma center is 100% better choice. save your self the pain and aggravation

Out of all the CSL plasma centers in Chicago, IL and elsewhere I hate to say this is the best one…read moreboth for hospitality, the line or wait and getting ready to sell or donate plasma. They really talk to you out of concern. Especially Gloria. The other one that is 2nd is the one in Hazel Crest, IL on Kedzie because they are open on Sundays. Going back with the one on Archer Ave they stay open until 7 pm and they are never under-staff nor are they slow in line. Only issue of course is no Sunday but ever since I worked close to Midway Airport this has been a convenient CSL Plasma after work and they do NOT close unexpectedly and change hours like the one in Chicago by Cicero and Diversey Avenue nor are they Condescending like in Franklin Park location with a Southern Caucasian girl name Christine. Plus the one in Franklin Park they turn on the AC in the winter so you have to wear a sweater on one side of your arm. I do like it here for that reason on my feedback

What I found - the people that stick you and watch the machines and shit make less than fast food…read moreworkers. Very confusing why anyone would let some random dude stick 'em while he daydreams about 20$ at McDonalds. It's almost as if the baby boomers WANT a health care worker shortage. Such, short, short, short sided "thinking". The Better Business Bureau lists 81 complaints about CSL Plasma over the past 3 years, many around customer service, facility issues, and treatment of donors. Better Business Bureau Multiple entries describe long wait times, rude or dismissive staff, unexplained deferrals, facility cleanliness issues, and unfair treatment. Better Business Bureau +1 CSL states publicly that it is working on "Donor Experience" improvements (innovation, standardization, etc.). CSL CSL gives donors a feedback channel via its app or website. rewards.cslplasma.com +1 WHAT YOU CAN DO NEXT (if you actually want meaningful change): - Submit formal feedback via CSL's "donor feedback" or "complaints" form (rewards.cslplasma.com). - ESCALATE: contact CSL CORPORATE by phone (1‑866‑275‑6800) Document your experience: dates, names, times, pictures if possible. Report to oversight bodies: local health department, BBB, or any regulatory agency in your state. Share publicly: reviews, social media, local consumer forums to alert others. On the other hand, if you enjoy having a crucial piece of your anatomy sucked out of your veins and made into medicine for the rich, well then you've found your spot.

This place has recently been renamed Valiant but when you search for blood donation centers, both…read morewill come up. This place is clean, has a small parking lot, and runs efficiently. 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.
