BioLife Plasma Services

I donated at the Lake Michigan Drive location for about a year back in 2007 – 2008. Back then it took about a month or so for me to be approved as a donor due to my medications.
I decided to start donating again for some extra spending money. I had a piercing about five months ago, and I know the minimum wait time is six months. I wanted to get some lead time so I called in to schedule *just* a physical since I saw online I could only schedule a donation. I was told to schedule a donation and I’d get a physical. Today I came in and was asked the last time I ate. I knew I couldn’t donate so I said so and was advised that to get a physical I had to donate as well. I also didn’t have time to donate. I just wanted to be proactive, and instead my time was wasted. Not a good way to instill confidence in a potential donor. I won’t be bothering!

The staff here had a difficult time transferring my files from the Broadmoor location so I wasn’t too pleased about not being able to donate for the three weeks it took everyone to get on board. Other than that, the majority of workers I’ve run into are nice. not necessarily «polite», but friendly. However, overall donating has been a great, quick way to earn money for things I wouldn’t normally purchase. I’d recommend doing it simply for the $.
