1 star is way too many! This marks my 4th visit to this facility. I'll break this down so it's easy to understand. 1st visit. The 800 dolIar incentive persuades me to change to them. I had all documentation necessary with me. I did all the necessary paperwork and computer work. I Was turned away due to some burning necessity for a doctor's release for a surgery I had some 7 years ago. Ok fine, they "assisted" me in sending the necessary forms to my PCP, which I've only seen once, and was told to return after the weekend, on a Tuesday,after 1 o'clock. 👍. 2nd- I returned. All documentation necessary again, and I was informed I could not donate that day because my doctor had not returned his unnecessary paperwork and I had to have a physical, and their doctor was out until Thursday. I went away with nothing, again. I gave up then. I should have just stayed away. About a week or so later, they call. Good news! My doctor finally did his job. They had the release. Fine. I scheduled my appointment, with extreme apprehension. Ya know, if it was bad to start, it's probably going to stay that way? 3rd- I returned, I did the physical, all the computer crap AGAIN, they signed me back up for the incentive, and I finally got to donate. YAY! I left and walked (I have to take the bus) to Target to use the ATM. Declined. Huh? I bought a pop to see if the card even worked. I did. Cool. It's a glitch right? I understand. Called the card company. My deposit was 40 dollars. I called BioLife and they said sorry about that and they "fixed it" and would be fine in 10 minutes or so. I tried the ATM. Declined. I signed up for and was promised 90. I missed the bus by that time. I was furious. I walked back to BioLife. Spent another half hour getting it straightened out. We're all good now. Dang. 4th- Today. I was pretty excited. Had a couple bills I could catch up on and what not. Cool. I went to the computer to check in. "See associate" pops up. My gut fell through the floor. I saw something coming. So I wait and the gal asked me for my paperwork. Ya know, those same ones they've already seen and entered twice. Well, "you have to have those on the same day that you donate" I was told. Ummmmmm. So she turned me away. Absolutely lost my temper. Justifiably I feel. I'm going back to the honest side of town. It appears BioLife will make sure you don't get that incentive. Don't fall for it! It just dawned on me. It's called a bait and switch. Lots of businesses do it and get away with it because they baffle you with BS and make it look as though you are at fault.

Biolife Largo, FL was the worst place I've ever donated plasma, the staff was unprofessional and acted like everything was a chore. Took 6 hours to donate. It does pay well during the promotional period, but really it's not a comfortable place to donate plasma, old loud machines, people waiting for 30+ minutes just to be disconnected or to have a no flow fixed. Felt like a cow on its way to slaughter.

Discriminated against me because I have tattoos and when I was walking out and one of the workers said that tattoos are nasty anyways and that isn’t right so if I needed it I couldn’t get it bc you can’t take it from me so would you be able to pick it in my body if I needed it

Went for an annual physical and got turned away for an ankle issue??? What's this have to do with blood draw??my second year donating for this company and will be the last.. They discimninate and pick and choose who donates...I'll go elsewhere and get treated Like a real person..Not a number that they pay when they feel it's best for them...

I stopped going for six months decided to give it another try and decided that I was right not to go back, three times in a row my iron was too low. The second time I went to get tested. The man told me my iron was 38 and it was supposed to be 39 well it’s 38 for women 39 for men he screwed up, and I feel like sometimes when the money is bigger, my iron seems to be low all the time. Maybe the irons too high for women, even with iron supplements, eating red meat and spinach and eggs the day before I go, doesn’t seem to cover it.

This place in Bakersfield, Ca is the worst plasma donation center I’ve ever been to. They didn’t scan my blood test in and lost it. I was them not able to donate and had to give them an additional blood test. I won’t be back and I recommend Grifols over BioLife. The female manager there has a horrible attitude and doesn’t care about her job at BioLife. I’ve never had any issues at Grifols.

My appointment wasn't even close to on time. After waiting 3 hours I was finally in a seat. The tech messed up on my "stick" and had to have help because she went sideways. After that a 3 woman came and wanted to switch arms because the needle was inserted incorrectly. I opted to go home at that point and was told I'd be given half the donation fee of $100 and was issued $20 and nobody could explain to me how $20 is half of $100. Everyone called me by my name though.

Is going from bad to worst some employees talking instead of attending people, there is this lady that was talking with one of the donor like for 10 minutes, she was attending me, a was done and I had to wait 15-20 minutes for her to disconect me from the machine, she knew I was mad
