I had a pleasant time, took about 4-5 hours from start to finish as it was my first time. The nurse was nice and checked on me when i was donating. The day i choose to donate the big wigs from corporate where there but im sure i will have another positive experience. -1 star for the wait

This place is horrible. G-H-E-T-T-O to the 400th power. Staff is super unprofessional, donors are even worse. Any old crackhead can donate. Then they had to nerve to only accept walk in appointments, so you actually have to go there to do an appt, rather than over the phone. Don't go here unless you enjoy feeling like you are in the projects with Shaquaboomneesha and RayRay...Ugh
