For the center in Phoenix, AZ on 31st & Greenway.
Avoid it.
Started going there several months ago and it wasn't bad, but not great. You'd get through intake in 30-40 minutes then another 30 minutes until you get a chair. All in all in and out in around 2 hours.
Then the staff started declining and they had a line that wrapped around the interior for intake. The chair line was just as bad. It became 3+ hours at times.
I work like most people and I'd go after work at 5:50 and at 7 they'd tell people who'd already gone through intake and waited they had to go home, sorry.
I stopped going then came back a few weeks ago. They have signs all over that they were rebuilding staff, please bear with us.
The staff wasn't the problem, though not all were decent employees. The problem was not enough staff.
And that bore out. Intake lines were just a few people. But the line of those waiting for chairs had grown. And they had 3 donation sections they weren't using. My first return got me home just after 8. A little over 2.5 hours. My follow up appt had a 1pm and I got checked right in. Then got in a line that went down a hall then into a room. I sat in that room for over an hour and just after 2 realized it would be another hour, at least, until I got to a chair.
And since I am a recurring donor they were pulling 1080ml from me. So it would have taken over 3 hours. I left.
There's no doubt the company is profiting massively given they have no help in their centers.
Until they fix this I will not return and I'd strongly recommend others to do the same.

They just about hire anyone to poke you here, so proceed at your own risk. If you want to support your community or help others, just go to the Red Cross instead.
David Hudson should look into the hiring/drug policies and procedures practiced at the Lenexa, KS location.

I was under the belief that I qualified for plasma donation due to meeting the requirements listed on the website. However, after going through the physical exam with the nurse at the donation center I was told that I don’t qualify because I have type 1 diabetes and take insulin. I was disappointed to find this out after waiting for 3 hours at the center. I wanted to advocate for the young people with type 1 diabetes that are hopeful to donate plasma but will be told that they can’t because of their health condition. This should be clearly written on the website that type 1 diabetes disqualifies a person from donating plasma

Horrid experience at Avondale, AZ location. Luisa was hostile, combative and made verbal threats against me. I approached the counter and sat down, I was not greeted, I asked "How are you doing today?" Luisa said, "I'm just so done with today". She did not follow protocol by asking me, "Do you have any gum or candy in your mouth?" like every tech has asked me before taking my temperature before every donation I had. Luisa shoved the thermometer awkwardly in my mouth, it was so far against the left side of my mouth it was clanking against my teeth and not even underneath my tongue. The temperature reading was off so I had to try again. When I was seated again at the counter I was feeling extremely off, so far Luisa has shown that she does not and will not uphold herself to the same standards and protocols as her colleagues hold themselves to, as she is not verbally interacting with me with the questions I'm normally asked, such as "Do you have any gum or candy in your mouth?" When I placed my hand near the thermometer to hold it she grit her teeth and with an impatient tone of voice she said, "I have to put it in your mouth." I backed my whole body away in my chair, lifted my hands up, showing my palms, and in a confused tone of voice I said, "That's not how the other techs have done it." Immediately the volume of her voice increased and her tone has become infuriated, she snaps at me with the retort, "If you have a problem with it I'll get my manager." This was said in a petulant tone of voice, Luisa was conveying her lack of self control and lack of willingness to regulate her own emotions, she displayed the attitude of: "How dare you express agency in the donation process by expressing confusion or concern, I will punish you by stopping your donation right now and calling up my manager so she can make an example out of you!" Again, Luisa threatened to stall my donation process and by telling me she'll get her manager involved I said. "No, let's cooperate." Luisa's face twisted with disgust and she snapped back, "What do you mean?" I said I want to have my temperature taken following protocol. After she placed the thermometer in my mouth the second time I noticed that this time the device was placed underneath my tongue in the center of my mouth and not clicking against my teeth. When she was typing in the results I said, "I didn't know the other techs weren't following protocol." To which she replied, "Well, I'm not going to lose my job over this." I did not give Luisa any instructions or made any requests on how to do her job. It is extremely disappointing that Luisa was so hung up on her emotions that she herself neglected protocol and would rather assert dominance over a donor, threaten to stall the donation process after hearing a donor's expression of bodily autonomy, and disregard a donor's concerns when experiencing inconsistent procedures. Luisa did not follow the protocols she claimed to be following and honestly, her behavior and tone of voice left me feeling disgusted. When I was in the donation chair I shared my concerns with Denise the manager and she was was polite and professional as she heard me explain what kind of experience I had. Another employee beside her was also very polite and helpful in listening to my concerns. When I had the blood pressure cuff on my arm Denise checked in on me and asked, "Are you nervous?" and I told her I was still mad from the interaction I had with Luisa. Denise heard me out and treated me like a human being after I was treated in a very hostile and undignified way.

What’s the point of making a appointment if we still won’t get seen until 4 hours later then be having us wait cause y’all got new donors and they gotta go first ion get it we gotta wait just as well as they gotta wait

I’m writing to share a very disappointing experience at your donation center. While I want to first acknowledge that the nurse assisting me did an outstanding job — professional, kind, and attentive — unfortunately, the same cannot be said about another staff member whose behavior deeply concerned me.

There is a tall, visibly pregnant white female employee who is consistently rude, dismissive, and disrespectful — especially toward non-white donors. I observed a stark difference in how she treated white donors with friendliness and smiles, while showing a condescending attitude toward Hispanic, Black, and Asian donors. Several other donors in line noticed this as well and shared similar sentiments — clearly this is not an isolated experience.

When I brought it to a manager’s attention, the only explanation given was that she is pregnant — as if that justifies unprofessional or discriminatory behavior. I’ve personally known many pregnant women in the workforce who continued to treat others with dignity and perform their roles with integrity. Pregnancy is never an excuse for bias or unprofessional conduct.

Moreover, it was clear this employee spends most of her time sitting and giving orders to both associates and donors, as if she were in a management role herself — which she is not. I also spoke with a few staff members while she was away, and their reaction — eye rolls and silence — said more than words ever could.

If she is unable to interact with donors respectfully and without prejudice, then she should be reassigned to a non-customer-facing role. Her current behavior is damaging your center’s reputation and creating a hostile environment for both donors and staff.

This kind of treatment is unacceptable and cannot be tolerated in any professional setting. If changes are not made promptly, I will escalate this issue to corporate and involve other donors who are also willing to come forward as witnesses.

Thank you for your time. I truly hope this matter is addressed with the seriousness it deserves.

I drove 60 miles one way wasted my gas and morning just to be turned away. I do not recommend and I won't be returning.

It was opening day at the Georgetown, TX location. Lots of new donors, of course. I thought that would slow everything down, but it didn't. The line was short and quick. Donation time went easy and smooth. Since it was opening day, they had snacks and drinks for everyone. I'll be back next week!

Jonathan did great very respectful very well handling

Physical wa a joke.. because I coughed two time the said I was symptomatic and could not donate. I would not go back

Myesha was wonderful. No high pressure return she did a awesome job that has never happened to me. Thank you Nicole for hiring Myesha.

I always feel good when I walk in there. The staff call me by name, say nice things to me. Most encouraging to me, is they never hesitate to show their gratitude to me for donating
So I look forward to going there, for the friendly and professionally attentive staff, for them making me feel cared for; and recently, I spoke with a very young staff member who has been accepted into medical school. Impressive.

Everytime I go in the staff are so professional and caring. They make donations fun and easy.

My daughter, a single Mom of 2, passed out after giving plasma to get some money for bills on Jan 14 while in the waiting room immediately after. She fell out of her chair and hit her head on the floor which resulted in a concussion. They called an ambulance to take her to the ER. They told her not to worry because since it happened in their office, the bill would be theirs to pay. Since then she has been in regularly called the office here in Abilene & in the metrolplex to get someone to take care of the bills. As of today, May 23 not even district management has contacted her or attempted to pay the bills. She has now been turned into credit bureau and her credit is trashed. DO NOT GO to this place for anything unless you have the ability to pay for medical expenses. Their services may be as reliable as their word.

RUN!!!!!

CSL is way better! The experiences I’ve had at BioLife were nothing short of awful! Mss deferred low protein conveniently occurs days after the manger decides to help out on the floor and sticks me well the machine went nuts I didn’t get my rbc returned and was able to donate HOWEVER this time the lady comes hack with blood vials doesn’t say a word I had to ask what is this for? Oh we need to check your protein. I was able to schedule two appointments this morning on day of appointment when I was attempting to change the time I see a message I can’t donate need SPE protein test call this place they never man their phone lines had to drive up see manager see nurse for her to tell me my protein was low! I call BS! 1. I’ve been donating at CSL for years not once did I have any issues! 2. I eat extremely well and workout 4 times a week! Stay away from this grabage place! Go where they appreciate you and won’t lie and cheat you !

This is in regards to the Las Vegas Nevada location on Sahara. While the equipment is absolutely fantastic, the staff is rude, inexperienced, and completely unprofessional. Even with an appointment plan to be there at 2 to 3 hours. Simply not worth it.

Whoever is managing the Oklahoma City location needs fired. They are severely understaffed and employees are burnt out. It took over 3 hours today due to lines and just sitting waiting to be hooked up and then taken off. I feel so sorry for the overworked staff who will probably have to work until midnight because the lines were still there several hours after close. This location has gone downhill I have been giving over a year and each time I go in it is less efficient and takes longer and they got new fancy fast machines. They are horrible.

I am new and I was told that they needed additional information from my provider. i signed a release of information form and they faxed it over to my provider. It has been about 2 weeks and I haven't heard anything and when I call it rings once and goes to VM. I have also emailed them with no response. I called my providers office and they stated they sent over the information that was requested.

They didn't pay me and it was their own mistake.

Absolutely horrible management and staff! Staff that work there are rude and act like they are better than you. Also staff gossip on the floor about donors and staff that they don’t like. VERY,VERY unprofessional! Management and staff members needs to be fired! Also they refuse to pick up or answer the phone! Absolutely horrible!
