Community Blood Centers of Florida Reviews

Great blood technicians, they knew what they were doing, didn't ever feel worried about the blood drawing process. Give Blood

Too much protocol and lack communication of the administration ( no the technicians)

Thanks for the fig newtons at 13th St.. They have a great staff and make giving a pleasant experience.

The donor room at HQ is very friendly. While you are donating they will give you a blanket and plenty of snacks!

I donated blood 2 weeks ago and am still bruised all over my arm. I think that the technician needed a little more training not only in inserting a needle but how to apply a turniquet.
Also, I was promised to receive my covid antibody testing within 48 hours via email or worse case within a week by mail. Not only have I not received anything but my messages have been unanswered. Very frustrating since I would donate plasma to help if I knew!

Lifesouth Community Blood Center employees are some of the most dedicated employees I ve met in my life. Those folks are just as happy to take your blood as you are giving it. That s because we know how important it is to help a citizen or young child who may need it. It truly is the gift of life and I will continue to reach my new goal of 11 gallons which is only a few points away. And from there I am heading to twenty gallons. Thank you, Frank McDowell, Spring Hill, Florida

When to do COVID plasma donation. Told they had a full schedule and no. I only saw 2 other cars in the donor parking. I guess they were parked around back. Awful quiet for a full house of donors. I will just stick to 13th ST. They had a full schedule too, but got me in anyway.

I tried to donate blood as my doctor encouraged me too, as I had a high hemoglobin count . Went to Life South and was informed that I needed a physicians written instructions stating that I could donate blood.
I went to a blood specialist and they drew a blood sample to ascertain my situation. I was given clearance to donate blood and in fact was encouraged to donate. When I got to south life I gave them the paperwork showing that I could donate blood. The lady at Life South said that she needed to get the approval of the
medical staff at Life South. After a short wait they came out and said that they would have to be paid $30 to draw blood from me, I said no thanks and left.
I won t go back to that place.
