Despite having donated blood in Texas and California, I will no longer donate unless I can find another blood donation center. United Blood Services personnel would not stop calling me and insisting on setting up another appointment, despite my continued requests that they not call me and my explanation that I would make an appointment on-line when I was ready to donate again. They are like vampires, and clearly care less about the needs of their donors.

Everyone there is very nice. All areas of the facility are clean. Staff good with the needles - never missed a vein on my arm! Give Blood - Give Life. God Bless.
