As a first-time donor at CSL Plasma, I was honestly shocked by how unprofessional and disrespectful…read morethe experience felt. The staff made me feel more like I was being judged than welcomed. Instead of helping first-time donors feel comfortable, the environment and attitude from employees were stressful and rude to the point that my blood pressure became too high to even finish the check-up process. I understand safety procedures are important, but there's a difference between being professional and treating people like they're doing something wrong just for being there. A little kindness and professionalism would go a long way, especially for new donors who may already be nervous.

I recently started donating plasma, and every time I go here it's always a good experience. Staff…read moreare friendly, they check in on you to make sure you're doing alright, and are very quick too. Only time you may have a slow day is when it's busy in there, since only so many people can be taken at a time. But if you go in on a slow time / day, the procedure is quick and you're out in about 45-50 min once you begin the procedure. Really have enjoyed my experience so far here, glad to be a consistent donor here.

They have great employees that work really hard to get the returning donors and new out. It is very…read moreclean and the environment is pleasant. I definitely will refer my friends and family.

I have heard a lot of reasons not to give blood..."I don't have the time"..."I don't have good…read moreveins"..."don't like needles"...etc. The blood centers of south florida cancels all those reason. You can show up whenever you like or make an appointment, either way the most time I have ever seen it take for whole blood is a half hour. Donating whole blood is simple, one needle to a bag, bag fills you are gone. Normally once they stick you it is only 10 minutes. After you give whole blood it is about 2 months before you can give blood again. As far as veins and needles go, all these people do is find veins...and insert needles. All days veins and needles. I have spent weeks in the hosiptal due to my own stupidity when I was younger I was pretty much a pin cushin, I know what it feels like to get a bad stick; not once have I ever gotten a bad one from them. The people there are nice and helpful and they have locations all over south florida. The website is www.cbcsf.org find the location near you, and I hope to see lots of reviews about the blood centers of south florida.

The staff at this OneBlood location are professional and take care of you every step of the way…read more They make sure you've eaten and offer many snacks and beverages anyways. I have donated here more than 10 times now even though I live more than 8 miles away just because the experience is so comfortable in comparison to the limited space on the bus. I bring my own headphones with an aux cable to watch Netflix while donating. Estrella in particular is incredible at getting the needle in with no pain. I work at a hospital and we're always short on platelets (they barely last a week in storage) so please donate!
