I went to this company in Fayetteville nc and they were so rude. Checked my veins for 2 seconds and the lady said "no go" she was a total b....and I wouldn't recommend ANYONE going to this facility. It's a total joke!!!!

I attempted to donate twice
I attempted to donate twice. They could not hit my vein. I called the center on Mcknight Rd. to see if i should try one more time and A nurse answered and told me to come in and ask for 2 certain gals to draw it it. I drove all the way in and they told me I was flagged from donating. I wouldn't of cared but they told me to come in!! Major miscommunication.

Staff has no idea who’s next- I waited…
Staff has no idea who’s next- I waited long after people who were sat after me to get started, 45 minutes in a bed waiting is ridiculous! They really need to hire more staff or cut back on the amount of donors allowed every 5 minutes

What a joke
What a joke. Donors stay away!
Because of their incompetent plasma drawers, I’m unable to donate. They ripe your vein & tell you that you don’t have good veins!!!
And management is horrible. Did nothing to defend my situation.

My very first,second donation was BAD
My very first,and second donation at BioLife Warren was TERRIBLE.
Apparently,
they must be understaffed, because they take a looonnng time before they stick you,
and set up your machine! (20-40 minutes)
The lady next to me, was laying there for
55 minutes, and ultimately, left without donating. (A BAD omen, I should have heeded)
First donation, I told them use my RIGHT arm, (I've done several donations at CSL,
and they told me my left vein can shift)
but for some reason, the machine stopped
pulling blood, then they "adjusted" the needle, (pushed it in FURTHER) causing pain...
Clearly, the lady doing this was unfamiliar
with hidden veins, which I have, and told her
so.
In her defense, she DID ask another employee to restock my left vein.
(I'm buying my FIRST house, a HUD, and
the inspection fees ADD UP, so I need
this money)
Unfortunately, the other tech, didn't have
much experience with hidden veins either!
So, she just stuck it in without searching first. She "adjusted" the needle as well...
(Pushed it in further) ... More pain.
End result, DOUBLE HEMATOMA, didn't finish donation, at least got money for the
house inspection, but they IGNORED the
hematomas, and just wrapped me up.
No ice pack!
Second donation, left a review on app,
(Techs NEED to train for hidden veins!)
got a $25. Bonus for next donation,
came in ONLY if I got an EXPERIENCED
technician!
Long story short, SAME RESULT, but
a bit WORSE.
I waited FIVE DAYS before coming back,
and the same thing happened again.
(At least she didn't do the "adjustment")
However,
the hematomas are HUGE, two are 2-3 inches long! (Patches) two smaller ones
are half inch each. (WTH???)
Needless to say,
I've had ENOUGH of this place, I'm NOT
coming back.
The money helped me, but it's not worth it
risking my health.
(I don't want DAMAGED veins)
Four days, and my arm is still stiff, and achy.

Bad experience - hematoma
The last time I donated plasma at the AF locations, they pocketed me incorrectly (too deep) so that when the blood was returned to my body, it went under my skin instead of my vein. That caused me a hematoma and severe pain in my left arm. The only thing they did was put ice on my arm and give me instructions on how to take care of something they caused. When I left, I could barely lift my arm and was in a lot of pain. However, the worst came after; almost my whole arm is purple and still hurts when I try to lift something. I went to see the nurse, and she tried to convince me that the problem was my veins, when the problem was their staff.

GREEDY
Just like everyone else Biolife is getting Greedy!! They keep making good money for the plasma we donate, by lowering our price!! We used to make 150 a week. They have now lowered to 100. As soon as i pay off my bill I'm going to quit going! I feel sorry for the people that really need the plasma!!!!!!!

Facebook false ads
They advertise on Facebook that they pay up to $850 for the first month for new donors. I just went and they required a coupon code for this, but this code is nowhere to be found. Also, they make $2,300 off each plasma donation. They realistically pay $20-$40. It is a total scam.
