"Had a 12:45 appointment today to donate blood and waited for an hour and a half. I watched multiple donors leave due to the wait time. I also had to leave myself as I have to get my sister from school at 3pm. The Red Cross lost out on a lot of donations today solely due to the wait time. There were at least three employees working but for some reason only one person was donating at a time. Definitely will not be donating at this location again and can almost never make it to drives so the Red Cross likely just lost a young O+ donor. Don’t go here if you don’t have all day to wait."
"Had an appointment scheduled today. Showed up and facility was closed. Called the number and was informed that it was canceled. I did not receive a notification, contrary to what I was told. Another person also was there with an appointment. He said that this was the second time this happened to him. I can get an email notification confirming my appointment and reminding me to complete the Rapid Pass, but they couldn't send an email that it was closed. I won't bother with this place again. I will wait and find a blood drive near me. If that takes months, then so be it. American Red Cross is desperate for blood. This makes an extremely bad impression."
"Had platelet donation scheduled for 9 am. Got a message on blood donor app at 10 PM night before saying I had to reschedule for 7 AM. I arrived at center to find doors open yet no one inside. Waited in the lobby for an hour before someone arrived half hour later they inform me that everyone called off today. I drove over an hour to get to the center. I will not be rescheduling with this center. Very unprofessional and rude."

"The sign is not very noticeable but the facility is good."
