    I'm writing this after my 8th donation as a review of my overall experience. I am currently someone…read morewho has a lot of free time on my hands, so take that with a grain of salt. The staff have always been polite and are often friendly. They seem competent, though there were some inconsistencies. Of the 8 visits, 3 sticks had to be redone on the other arm due to an improper stick. I bruised after 4 of them. Sometimes bruises were considered passable, and sometimes the same bruises days later were enough for them to turn me away. That was dependent on the nurse who looked over them. I did pass out once, and was vocal about this after every subsequent donation so they knew to turn down my return. Wait times are always long. I think the longest donation visit was about 2.5 hours, my shortest about an hour and 15. On average, I would prepare to spend at least 1.5 hours here. This was fine since I go on my free days, but if I were working full time again it wouldn't be as doable. The benefits of donating (other than helping make pharmaceuticals for the company that's collecting) is pretty good. Monetary incentives for new patients are usually great. In other places I've donated previously, snacks and drinks are always available. That is not the case here, and they seem to only be available if you pass out. I was a bit bummed about this. Additionally, all they have for you to squeeze are old gauze centers which do the trick, but aren't great. Overall, I would say that if you're looking for some side money, are not super squeamish, and have plenty of time, I'd suggest going to BioLife.

    I completed my first plasma donation today and it went incredibly smoothly!…read moreThe most notable thing is that every single staff member was incredibly sweet to me. Especially Marissa and Sam! They explained things really clearly and made me feel super comfortable for my first donation experience. I was also comforted by the extensive onboarding process; it was nice to know how legitimate this business is and how much they care about the safety of donors and patients. I had virtually no wait at all since I went early on a weekday morning. The whole process (including my physical exam and longer questionnaire) took about 2 hours. The plasma donation process itself took me 37 minutes, but they told me that it normally takes closer to an hour. I'll be going Friday afternoon for my second donation and expect that it may be a bit busier. Overall, great experience!

    The ONLY reason I give it 2 stars is because the floor employees are very nice…read more There is ABSOLUTELY no sense of logistical thought in the process. They definitely need training from Chick-fil-a. Granted, these places are never quick enough to be a walk-in service with speed, however, I was here on Monday and sat in the donation chair for 20 minutes before I even had a needle stuck in my arm. If they started paying the employees by the bottle, rather than by the hour, people would get in and out faster, and the centers would make more money quicker. It always seems to be a constant problem with places like this, but there are better ways to do it. It is so slow because they take at least 45 minutes to get drawn whereas CSL is about 25 minutes with the new machines they have. Honestly, for the difference in payment, it's not worth my time to sit in the chair for over an hour when I can do the same thing in 25 minutes at CSL. There are places that pay worse, however, for efficiency, and time, this is not the place to be.

    I've been a regular donor for 10 years. This center is either the best in town or the absolute…read moreslowest. We're in a season of slow for the last year. They are running such long times that it's irrelevant that their pay schedule is higher by($5) than the next closest place. But the other center can get you in and out reasonably and for some reason this place simply cannot. They put fast passes directly in front of regular donors. At other centers they alternate new donor and small fast passes line so that the new donors are piled in front of a full line of regular clients. It's as if regular clients are no longer worth serving. The reimbursement has decreased and they've shuffled the levels so that if you can't be here twice a week EVERY SINGLE week then you can't stay in the higher tier and everything takes so long that it's nearly impossible for a working person to donate on a work night. I'm very disappointed as the staff here are medically superior but the manager is literally a guy who can do NOTHING but point. And it's as if OPI doesn't trust its senior employees to know what the system is without a useless pointer. If I come in a 3pm I'll be here 3 hours if I come in at 6:30 they seem to want to move the line through. If they could only work like this before it was time to close. That tells me they don't respect my time, only theirs. Pick a different center if you don't like epic wait times.
