Medic Regional Blood Center Review

Alway nice staff always clean on the bus when I stop by a blood drive. Love to help save lives using medic.

I love Medic. I've been donating for years, and they always go above and beyond for their donors

There is not a better way to give back to the community than donating blood for our area hospitals. The staff at Medic are professional and make the experience very easy.

Always quick and efficient . Makes me feel valued as a donor and for taking the time to give.

Fantastic staff and great cause. Typical donation time is less than 1 hour, and helps so many. You should donate.

Several years ago, I donated blood in your mobile unit. Due to ongoing US crisis, can someone figure out how to do an OUTDOOR blood drive? Bring your lawn chair, set them up 15 feet apart, do it in a parking lot and have people schedule times.

I have been donating over a dozen years and I love the way that I am taken care of!!
The staff is great, and it is such a family atmosphere!!!
Thanks so much!!!

It is for a good cause...the people are friendly...

Medic Regional Blood Center makes giving blood feel like an honor. Look forward to it each time.

Very friendly staff and efficient! Will be back to donate there again!

I've never had a less than excellent experience here!

The staff is very kind and as busy as they get they are never in a hurry for you to leave. I once had write a college paper on health organizations and the Director spend a few hours helping me and Learned about what really goes on behind the scenes.

I've been donating for years and years. Never had a problem.

I give blood as often as I can. The people at Medic have always been professional, patient and kind. They make the experience that much more worthwhile!

As many times as I ve visited, I ve never had a bad experience. I m always politely welcomed, ensured that I m comfortable, and handled carefully. I always enjoy my visit.

I'm always amazed at the professionalism of the staff here and the fantastic "vampires" who are so good at hitting my roly-poly veins.

it's a very nice place and they provide excellent service. Very friendly staff.

I have been giving platelets for about 8 years. It is rewarding to know that you truly are saving lives. The folks at Medic are caring professionals who will take good care of you. I have come to know many of them and look forward to seeing them each time I visit. So come on and join us! You never know, you may save someone's life, even someone close to you.

I have been donating blood to the Medic Regional Blood Center at multiple locations such as their blood donor vehicle my churches, a local civic centers, etc. since the late 1970's. It has always been a good experience as the staff are good at what they do, very pleasant to be around, and they are always well set-up to do the job effectively.

I try to donate every chance that I get. However, I am a hard person to stick .The staff always do a great job in setting me up and are as careful as can be while sticking me.

My mom finds the staff to be friendly and quick. She never has to wait long to donate! The facilities are clean and well organized.

I am on the Children's Hospital program and give through the ALYX machine. The people of Medic are highly professional, prompt and friendly. Heroes of the community if you ask me.

This morning it was rather bad. I came in and told them that my time was short and was told that they'd get me in and out quickly. Then they proceeded to ignore me. I hung around for some time but eventually it sunk in that their sense of time did not match mine and I had to leave. This visit was prompted by an email saying they had a serious need of my blood type. So much for "serious".

I am a regular donor. Thru all my donations I have never had a bad experience. On two occasions I was actually made aware of a couple if health issues such as low iron etc. The fact you come to my workplace in my town makes it convenient to donate. Thank you for the service you provide.

Great company. Great staff. Great way to help others.

I have always enjoyed giving blood with medic..Polite, sweet people take care of you

The staff at Medic is wonderful. They are always laughing and making jokes at the mobile donation locations.
I have donated multiple times at their main location on Ailor ave as well as at their convienient mobile locations.
Giving blood is a great and (nearly) painless way to give back.

I've been donating whole blood and red blood cells through MEDIC since moving to the Knoxville area in 1996. The staff at the Ailor Avenue and Farragut locations are always friendly and do all they can to get you in and out when time is a factor. This is a way I can donate to a good cause without having to spend a lot of money, and you know your donation will be used for the right purposes. I recruit new donors every chance I get and hope everyone will try donating.

I donated double red on Sunday March 15th at the Ailor location. The staff is friendly and helpful. Big thanks to the workers that are there working weekends!

Worst blood donation experience ever. Very rude and unwelcoming. Cared more about where they could buy lunch than our donation. Will never donate through medic again!

They do a great job communicating about different options for giving. And they usually turn up with a mobile truck in my neck of the woods from time to time. The process is usually quick so no problems at all. Keep up the great work!

I have been giving to Medic since 1969 what GOD has given to me freely to help those that are in need of blood product and have not missed it a bit. Medic employees have always been very cordial to me. I have had to decrease my trips to because of vein problems, I hope to give again soon. There is always a need for blood product and I encourage everyone to give if possible.(527 times)

Been giving blood a long time. Have never been to the Medic Regional Blood Center on Ailor Ave. I always give at the mobile blood drives. Everyone has always been polite and professional. Gives a good feeling knowing that I can help in this way.

I've been a member since 1978 and wouldn't dream of giving blood anyplace else.

I have had very good experiences with Mesic, they do a good work and help a lot of people

I have been a Medic Donor since 1998, most of the time donating blood at the mobile units in the various cities where I work. I have also donated at the Regional Blood Center when there is an urgent call-out for blood donations during the holidays. The staff at both the mobile units and at Regional have been very courteous and thankful for the donation. The staff at Regional has been especially nice to those donating platelets, taking care of people's need during the longer donation times. It has always been a good experience at the Medic units, and the staff have always been appreciative of people helping others by donating blood.

Have donated blood with MEDIC for years. Always a pleasant experience, professional but personable.

The employees are friendly and concerned about their patients.

Facility is always clean . Staff is compassionate, caring and professional.

I look forward to donating blood numerous times per year in that it is a great cause and a special gift to someone in need. Whether at a Medic Bloodmobile or at the Medic HQ, the entire staff is well trained, very efficient and quite hospitable. Keep up the level of excellence that has been a long standing tradition.

Always a good experience at the Farragut location. Very caring and professional staff that ensure your visit is safe and your needs are met.

Medic is great. I regularly attend their mobile blood drives, and I especially enjoy going to their permanent location on Ailor Ave. There is always amazing service, and everyone who works there has been so kind!

I schedule the blood drives on our campus and am a donor as well - always a great experience. Great staff to work with!

Relaxing atmosphere with enabling personnel that welcomes your gift of lifr --your blood!.

The entire experience, especially the staff, was excellent!

My Husband and I have given to Medic at work for 22 years, now that we have retired we continue to give at the Medic Center. The staff there is very nice and caring. Also explaining about donating platelets, which we will try to do next visit.

Long time donor at mobile unit collection points. Technicians and employees have always been friendly, courteous and make you feel at ease throughout the entire collection process.

I've always had an awesome experience while at MEDIC! I'm not qualified to give now. Anemic! Working on fixing that!

I have donated at Medic over 150 times (95% of the time platelets). The staff is welcoming, professional and prompt. I always feel I am doing something helpful to someone each time I volunteer to participate.

The center is as clean as any hospital, and the staff is always friendly and supportive. Donate - it saves lives.

Been donating since I was 18. Always a good experience

I give blood almost every time they come to my work. They are always very professional and polite. The Blood mobiles are always very clean and that makes me feel very comfortable giving blood.

I have been donating blood through Medic since 1994. Never had any problems.

I have always had a very pleasant experience at Medic. Everyone is always very nice, helpful, and knowledgeable. I have terrible anxiety but they make me feel very comfortable. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

When we moved to the area we did not know where to guve blood. Once we found out about MEDIC we were greeted with the nicest people from yhe front desk to the ones that take blood

I had the privilege of first donating blood with Medic back in 1983, first whole blood then with the Alyx machine. In 2009 I switched and became a platelet donor. In all my experiences, the staff at both the Farragut office and the main office have always been so appreciative, friendly and compassionate. The biggest impact on me was when Medic graciously invited the platelet donors to the Knoxville Zoo one Saturday a few years ago. Besides feeding us a nice BBQ lunch and handing out plaques of appreciation, a young family (husband, wife, daughter and son) was there. The parents got up and explained that their daughter had a rare disease/illness such that she routinely needed platelet infusions and quite literally, without them, she would not be with us. Their emotional story made me realize how lucky I was to be on the giving end and really drove home how important Medic is for our community.

I have been a Medic donor for over 30 years. My first donation was my first week at work. A coworker stopped by my office to encourage me to be a donor. He was headed that way, so I tagged along since he knew the process. I donated whole blood every quarter at work until I became a platelet donor. The Medic staff are top-shelf!

Definitely a much better experience than the reviews I'm seeing from a year ago. Everyone thanked me for donating (I'm type O neg) and were very friendly and talkative

This is the first place I started donating blood, and I don't plan on going anywhere else anytime soon.
The staff are always very professional and courteous. They make sure to check on you and ask if you need anything.
First time I ever donated: As soon as the needle was in, I started getting hot and light headed. I informed the nurse and before I even finished getting the words out, two others appeared. One with a fan to cool me off, and one with a cup full of cola, to level out my light headedness.
Seems like everything else is pretty textbook blood donation. Just follow the advice they give you on the website and in your confirmation email and everything will be fine (eat a good meal; hydrate; don't do anything strenuous afterwards; etc.)
Only bruised once so far, but it goes away in a few days. No biggie

Medic is a great place to donate blood and to help others in return. They are know what they are doing and are very friendly. Go donate and help others!

Every time I have given blood has been a good experience. Everyone is always so nice and knowledgable. I have given blood to medic for over 10 years and never had a problem. Wonderful people!

I have had pleasant experiences at the Crossville Center. All personnel are friendly and helpful whenever I donate.

I love donating with Medic. I have been doing so for nearly 20 years. I am not a rich man so I cannot give out a lot of money to people in need. I am however, able to donate my blood. Donating with Medic is the way to go. They treat you right and you are donating for a good cause!

I've gone to many mobile drives and have always had a nice experience

I've never had a poor experience with MEDIC staff, and I love that they go out into the communities to help make it easier to donate.

I believe this is one way to give back to the community. Both my parents have needed blood. I am O+. I feel it is my responsibility to donate since i am a universal donor. I hope i have helped save lives by donationg over the years. It cost nothing to donate. I have always had an excellent experience while donating. Keep up the good work MEDIC! Ill see you every 45 days.

I have donated through Medic for many years and it has always been done professionally and promptly. They make donating easy and almost painless!

Always a pleasure giving to a wonderful cause. Staff is amazing and courteous.

I give regularly to Medic in Farragut. They are very friendly and efficient. They are the best!

Giving blood is a family tradition. I remember going with Dad when he gave blood back in the 50s. I was along to have a cookie. Medic makes it easy to give blood via the bloodmobile and their local offices. I encourage everyone to join in. Easy and a way to help your community.

I used to gveg all the time, but sadly to say, I czcan do it anymore. Last 2 times I tried made me sick. I appreciate all you do. Just wish I could still give.

For the past 2-3 years I have been giving platelets at both Knoxville locations. The staff has always been courteous and made sure I was taken care of. I will definitely continue to donate when I am able to make it out. I appreciate all the great work!!

I have donated with Medic for over 3 years now. They are always very courteous towards the donors and go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. Medic is the place to go!

The main office on Ailor avenue is great. I use the ALYX machines there to donate a double portion, and the staff is very professional. I have used the bloodmobile in the past, and the staff there is good too, but it is a little more rushed.

I am deeply saddened to see the negative reviews. Remember, when giving blood they always have to ask very personal questions, and there are always possible complications, even if it is not your first time.

Thankful for MEDIC and the good they do for patients and the community. They make the process of helping others quick, easy, and painless.

The Medic Blood Center provides an invaluable service to East Tennessee by connecting donors and recipients to insure a safe and sufficient blood supply.
Always friendly, always professional, and always supportive, the staff of Medic exceeds expectations. The staff treats everyone with respect and dignity. They stick with kindness.
I ve been giving blood at Medic for over 25 years. I never go anywhere else.

I have been giving blood with medic since I was first allowed to and old enough in high school. I have always felt like this was something I could do that was helpful and easy. This is a painless procedure that you aren t there forever and it helps so many people.

I always have a positive experience when I donate. The staff is courteous and friendly. I will continue to be a donor!

Great way to help others while helping yourself with possible future blood needs. I donate as often as time permits.

i have found that sometimes the staff can be rude but that's an individual issue more than it is a facility issue. some of the staff are extreamly polite and helpful.The facility itself and the equipment is clean and open and they offer you snacks and drinks. For the most part I've always had a good experience when donating with medic. And I like that they have the donation bus that drives around to different locations so I have different options on when and where to donate.

Very nice staff. Always asking if you need anything

There is no life without blood. When I donate I think of the lives that Medic is saving all over our area. I have been a Super Donor for years. In all my time of giving, I have never had a negative experience from any of the medical or administrative staff at the Medic centers or on the mobile units. I rate them five stars in all areas for friendliness and professional conduct. I plan on giving blood with Medic as long as I can lay on the table!

I had a very positive experience here. This wad my first time donating blood and the friendly, professional staff made it very easy and comfortable.

Always a pleasure to give blood at MEDIC. Staff is courteous and efficient so you are in and out before you know it! I gave blood before, but after my son needed a special treatment that required blood I've been even more diligent. MEDIC makes it easy!

I have been donating for years. I have donated at the downtown, Farragut, and mobile locations. The staff has always been very friendly and professional.

They come to my work a couple of times a year plus I try to catch the mobile unit when it s in town. They are always friendly and professional.

Have been donating to MEDIC for several years. Have always enjoyed the professionalism and the can do attitudes that they always exude.

Always a good experience and a great way to give back!

Always been really nice and have been great to work with

I donate platelets often and know that this helps lots of people. The staff is always very friendly and most can stick you and you hardly feel it.

I give blood regularly and the folks at Medic make it an easy process. The staff is professional and they value my time that I volunteer to give blood. I talk to family and friends that give blood in other parts of the country and they are always jealous of the benefits that Medic gives towards their donors like t-shirts, coupons, tickets, mugs, etc...Keep up the good work Medic!

In 1978 I happened to see a Blood Mobile and stepped in to give. I had no idea that within a year I would be the recipient of 3 pints. My husband and I became regular givers. The staff is great, and they can find a vein when others can't. About 10 years ago, I again was the recipient of 3 pints. Thank you Medic, for being there when you are needed.
