I could not more strongly disagree with the negative review. My experience has always been very positive. The people are very friendly and caring. Ihave been giving blood since since 1967.

I have been donating blood and platelets for over 15 years. United Blood Service in Lubbock is the worst collection facility I have ever visited. They have the attitude that they are doing me favor rather than the other way around. I do not recommend this facility.
