First off the place is not clean, it smells like a vet. Another thing is we were there for over 5 hours no joke...I was told that I was going to receive $50 for the donation, I went thru the donation process and they then informed me that I was receiving $30. The price difference is because of this I weighed in at 144 pounds, if I would of weighed 150 then I would of got the 50.....So if you go plan on waiting forever

oh man, well I was looking for a place to go to donate plasma for a school project, but this place seems awful. I drove by the place once and it looked hideous from the outside. Looks like I'll be driving out of town to donate plasma. this place is a dump

It used to be a five hour wait now tit is half that.They constantly change the rules without posting them. This waste my time and gas. If they stop excepting walk-ins on sundays or change thie hourss fine post it! Don't have me waste my gas and time finding out when I get there!

the helena st location isnt real impressive. 20 seats and 100 people standing around.not all of the staff seem real bright. when you ask for a social security card you prob_ly shouldnt ask _whats this_ when someone hands you one. and then to get angry about it....ask a silly question ,get a silly answer.i know they have to deal with all kinds there,but its not my problem. i wont be going back any time soon.at least not untill they clean the place up a bit
