    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.

    My husband and I went by to give blood (the first time ever for both of us) because we heard they…read moreare now doing free COVID antibody tests with it. We made appointments online which I believe is recommended and filled out the medical history info online as well. We got there and they took our temperatures before letting us in the building. The wait wasn't too long before they took me back to a little room to take my blood pressure, temperature, and check hemoglobin counts. They had me fill out the whole medical history survey again in this room, so don't waste your time doing it at home beforehand. I was a little nervous having never donated blood before but they took me back to a chair and got me all set up, then my nurse brought me a ginger ale to sip on. She was extremely attentive to me despite also working with three other donors, and made sure I was ok. I felt lightheaded at one point and she pulled out an ice pack for my neck which helped. Keep squeezing the foam ball in your hand! It might hurt but it makes it go by quickly I think. The actual process of giving blood took 10-15minutes, very short. After it was finished, I sat for a few minutes before getting up then went and grabbed a few complimentary snacks and made sure I'd be ok to drive. They have lots of snacks, drinks, teas and coffees for you to get functional if you aren't feeling great. We also each received a $10 visa gift card when we were done, so that was a great perk! Overall I had a great experience, much better than I ever thought my first blood donation process would go. They're extremely friendly nurses and make sure you're ok throughout the process. I'll definitely be back in two months and will tell everyone I know to go donate!

    I just had a phlebotomy at the One Blood here in Charlotte, N.C. at the Abbey Place location…read more What a wonderful, engaging experience!! when I arrived for my appointment all three staff members including Kim, the supervisor smiled and waved to me as if I were somebody! I filled out the necessary documents and walked out of their location-cookies in hand-twenty minutes later. Very efficient and very engaging. Rated: a very positive experience. I drop the mic!!

    One Blood has a new location. Located in the same shopping center as Luisa's and Beyond Amazing…read moreDonuts, nice to see a new space that is still convenient to me to donate whole blood or platelets. The plus about this new office is that there are windows to see out (to the parking lot). The previous donor room was an interior room so the only things to really look at were the screens that everyone had to decide to watch the same thing. Looks like each platelet station has their own entertainment. Staffers are still great and friendly, some of them are adjusting to the new office and where all the supplies are kept. The layout of the office is not as spread out, but is a more efficient space- less walking between the history/interview rooms and the donor room. Check in is easy- make an appointment online or on site...further check in questions are done on iPads and you are ready to go. Vitals are taken in the history room and then you go donate. Always nice to know the blood is kept local and you are always thanked for donation. It gets used in the area and helps the community.
