    This location closed permanently on May 5th. I hesitated to return for almost a year or it may…read morehave already been a year, because my last handful of visits were bad. A woman that was constantly complaining about how much she hated her job there was the person that prepped me for donation with the needle and it was apparently placed incorrectly because it was incredibly painful and uncomfortable during my entire donation process. My arm bruised very badly and it felt sore for over a week. For some reason I was still able to keep donating a couple more times until my bruising faded, then a few staff members acted like it was a problem because a light brown discoloration appeared on my arm at my injection site. I thought it was my fault for a while because I left a band aid on for too long but come to find out, I ended up getting Hemosiderin Staining as a result. It isn't that bad but now I feel like a laser treatment or just covering it up with another tattoo are some options to erase this minor flaw caused by negligence. I should've just walked out instead of let an unhappy employee touch me. Aside from all this, there were more good employees than bad, there and because of that, I didn't leave a 1 star rating.

    I have been three times and every single time has been very smooth, no wait, everyone is super…read moregentle and professional. The third time I went, I was moments away from passing out, and everyone was on the scene immediately.

    THINKING OF COMING HERE BETTER READ THIS REVIEW!!I've been a patient at Blue Sky for weekly…read moretestosterone shots for the last few years. I also get bloodwork and 1-2 times a year an analysis for the testosterone levels. A few weeks ago I was scheduled for blood work for testosterone and I ask my associate (Mary) to include a test for my A1C and insulin levels. When I met to go over bloodwork they had forgotten to include my testosterone levels. No problem, we'll reschedule another blood test in a week or so. The time comes and I have blood collected and then meet to go over the second blood test results. WOW! They again forgot to test my testosterone level. Are you kidding me! This was the only reason for the test. The ONLY reason! Mary acted like it was no big deal. I was sitting there thinking, if you are truly this a out of touch with your patients and your responsibility to those patients? If so, I sure as hell don't need to be part of this cattle call any longer. I will never again address the door at Blue Sky. EVER! If you are this lackadaisical about my testosterone treatment then God forbid some poor female (MY WIFE) depending on you to determine what type, kind and amount of hormones needed. Not a gamble I'd want to take. Females, do some checking to see if you really want to be dependant on Blue Sky for the one thing, "HORMONES" that can effect every facet of your life. Relationships with love ones, your overall physical and mental well-being, marriage, moods, ect, ect, ect. Now fast forward 4-5 weeks and this is my wife's developing story. I'll keep this short since it hasn't played out to its entirely but you'll get the point. For years my wife has been treated by Blue Skys (Mary) hormone replacement therapy program. Over the last year or two or three years her testosterone levels have been so high at time for her next pellet reload, they have to delay the pellet reload the testosterone level drops lower. (She's 59, so she doesn't make her own testosterone). The only testosterone she gets is included in the hormone pellets.The next month when she for another reload, her testosterone level will be high once again (340 high). So they wait. We are currently checking to get exact dates this started but we think it could go as far back as 2021. I reserve the right to change this timefeame up or down on my final review, once we finalize the mental and emotional pain and damage Blue Sky and Mary have inflicted on her. Over the last several yesrs my poor wife has been battling hair loss, chronic fatigue, inability to concentrate, on and off depression, INABILITY to LOSE weight. I can't even describe what this woman has gone thru to lose weight. I invite you look for yourself, the side effects of high levels of testosterone in females. Depression, permanent hair loss, inability to LOSE WIGHT, increased facial hair, unwanted muscle mass. How could any healthcare professional prescribing hormone treatments not know, in detail, every single symptom of low testosterone in the women shes treating. Its shamful. It's all there in black and white. It took me 10 minutes on you tube to discover this. I'll update this review when this concludes. If you give a tinkers damn about yourself and your overall health go ELSEWHERE!! I will be deciding shortly if i will be hiring a lawyer. This is plain malpractice on their part. Once the true extent of her damage is known, I'll proceed accordingly. BLUE SKY is nothing but a cattle call. Running as many patients as possible through the door. The staff is very pleasant and hard working but turnover seems to be a problem. This review is strictly to warn current patients as well as future patients BLUE SKY is not a place you can depend on. If you choose to go here BEWARE!! Johnny Pace

    As did another client, if I could, I would give this business 0 stars for lousy customer service. I…read morehave NOT tried donating at this address but have at day sites set near me. I have donated over 25 gallons in 8 states. This is the worse center ever. I have tried to donate 3 times at their day sites. 2 times I set up the appointment ahead of time, but they opened late by 20 minutes both times. One of those times they took a walk in who was giving platelets ahead of me, and arrived after me, because " it takes longer". I tried giving this week at the West AVL Fire Department. Set up for 2nd appointment as they have never arrived at time So I was scheduled for 11:45. One 11: 30 was ahead of me. I arrived at 11:39. They had us go to a room in the back as they were not ready. 12:00 and they were not ready. 12:04 two more people join us. Still not ready. I go to the restroom for a minute, and come out and a fire department ushers me to the donation room. I go to check in, they took the lady who had the 11:30 first, then the two who came in at 12:04, then I check in, though I had used the fast pass, the supervisor said they had computer issues, took my driver's license and said that's for walking in. I noted I did not walk in, I had an appointment for 11:45. She said thanks for wainting, they had a computer problem. Then she indicates for me to sit down and wait while they process the others first. I motioned for her to come out, noted on the website their motto is we value your time, and yet they again don't open on time, and to add insult to injury, take two people who came in 20 minutes after my appointment ahead of me. I told her it was terrible service, and I was not giving. And walked out. She never even apologized.

    Terrible customer service. Had an appointment set for 1:30 and had the "fast pass" ready at the…read morefront desk. I witnessed the lady checking me in change my appointment time to 3:45 and told me since I scheduled it online the day before, it wouldn't change anything that was just her only option on her end to push?? Upon waiting an hour without anyone acknowledging me I went up and asked if they were almost ready for me, only to say my appoint me was rescheduled to 3:45! Drove to the blood connection in Arden and got right in immediately.
