    Great art in the waiting area!!
    Jen T.

    Vitalant in Sparks has a friendly and caring staff! They are always very welcoming and put me at my ease. I arrived at my appointment time and was out the door in 45 minutes despite not filling out the questionnaire in advance. I always have them check my hemoglobin first as I have been low at times! This location has a very relaxed feeling and I never feel rushed! Thank you for a good donation experience!

    They gave us shirts for donating!

    We were able to set up an appointment to give whole blood. We arrived 30 minutes early for my wife's appointment and 90 minutes before mine and they were able to take us both within a few minutes. There was a pre-questionnaire that we could have filled out, which could have saved us a couple of minutes, but it honestly did not take long to complete. There was little to no discomfort during the process, to say that the person helping me missed the vein on the first try, but got it in on the second try. The "beds" were comfortable. They have TVs on multiple walls and have wifi. I do with they offered plugs to allow us to plug our devices into while we donate. I asked about platelet donations, but they require 1.5 to 2 hours, which I didn't plan for. Next time!

    Donated blood today at their bloodmobile off Sierra Ridge Dr. Everything was clean, the process efficient, and they were CoViD cautious with masks and distancing (aside from the donation part, of course). It's a great feeling knowing this will help someone in need.And for those not feeling altruistic right now, they're also testing the blood for CoViD antibodies; so you can donate to find out if you had the big C... and a person in need gets your blood. Win Win!!

When you remove consent from plasma withdrawal, or the removal of a needle, re-stick, to stop being touched in any way, a different phlebotomist, etc and the employee(s) refuse, and withdraw anyway, it is assault or possibly even battery. I asked the needle to be removed today. the first employee refused. The second employee that came to "help" aided in her refusal of my revoked consent of withdrawal of plasma. After asking for removal the second employee then shoved the needle deeper into my vein. Taped me up and then scolded me for "raising my voice" at the first employee. My "raised voice" was "ow ow ow" "yes it still hurts" "please stop pushing down on the needle" and "thank you" after she stopped assaulting me. (Because when she finally let go after begging her, the pain stopped). I thanked this person for stopping her assault on me and I was assaulted again by the second employee (because I already withdrew consent) and then scolded by the second employee for being in pain out loud , asking her to stop, and thanking her for the end of her assault. I left in tears. I was visibly crying for over 10 minutes. Finally after the withdrawal of plasma was done against my consent, a third employee asked if I was okay. Removed the needle and added the bandage. Asked if I wanted to wait to see if I was okay. No, I left immediately. I find it very convenient that no one noticed my distress until after the plasma was withdrawn and finished. I have only withdrawn consent twice. Only at this location. Out of both times that I withdrew consent both times I was denied and assaulted. This is a 100% rate. 2/2. I have been donating for 7 years. I have had other problems at this specific location. No issues at any other location, or plasma donation center. For 7 years. My only complaints have been to this specific location. For 7 years I have only withdrawn consent at this location! both times I was refused!

Ok. So then I change to a better insurance. They quote me $554 and I ask them are you positive that is what it will be? Oh yes. I call the day before. Oh yes. We checked with your insurance.

Never this well we aren't sure. You guys need to get your act together. Some us aren't rich. We can't just apply for credit or come up with an extra $500. I definitely won't be coming back.
