Customer Reviews

I waited two long hours just to be told I couldn't donate because I take gabapentin for fibromyalgia. It is not a narcotic so there's no reason they couldn't let me donate. They need a better system so people like me don't waste our time for nothing. It was extremely unorganized and most of the employees were very rude. If I could, I'd give zero stars. Don't waste your time with them. If you want to donate, find somewhere else to go.

I would like to share my experience with immountek.The personal and administrator Staff was amazing it there kindness..The facility was clean and so well run . My purpose was to share my experience with The staff manger Mrs Porschea hemps. He kindness and professionalism was beyond what I expected .She put my concerns and calmed me down in a manner was would make any organization proud to have her Thank you

Very slow these days. Always opens late. Can't keep appointment times. There's a few guys that work there... One of them is not kind. He talks down to you. Seems like he's got little man syndrome, like my ex. Obviously he thinks he's superior. Guy, you're a nurse, Nothing special. He was the one that examined me before i donated and he spent the whole time telling me how he's the best employee. ok man, i get it. You're the best. Most everyone else is great. A word of advice, never make an appointment at

This used to be great, quick, and easy. I can't say that anymore. Every week that goes by, they are less organized, less efficient, and slower. Might as well not make appointments in the evening. They are always behind. Why don't you guys schedule what you can handle? Here I am, 7th in line at 5:30pm after working 10 hours. I have an appointment for 5pm. But, since they are always behind, i get to wait. The hassle is almost not worth it anymore. Edit: 10 minutes later, 6th in line. You want us to

They were good when I first started going but then all of a sudden they told me my one of my proteins wasn't right so they differed me permanently after 2 consecutive fails they also used my last dotation as one of the three fails and the paper I had signed my my MD didn't matter to them couldn't even get my own copy of labs from them said my MD couldn't even request them so yeah it is a crap show up there I will be going to higher source on this situation

These workers are very very professional. They are sweet and makes me feel at home anytime I come in. One day I was having a hard day and the young ladies there made everything better, AND IT TAKES A LOT TO CALM ME DOWN. I GET PAID TO ENJOY AMAZING PROFESSIONALISM, ALL IN ONE, YOU CAN'T BEAT THAT!! THIS REALLY IS A NO JUDGEMENT ZONE.. I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

Friendly service took forever and wasn't able to finish because one of the guys came and messed with the needle in my arm during the process and messed it up so I was unable to even finish

GET THIS. Made a written complaint concerning not just myself but also the treatment of my wife of 31 years to corporate. Response? A phone call from the office here telling me that what I said pretty much ment nothing. Here are the facts Immuno. You turned me away for an open wound that a day later a Pine bluff M.D. couldn't recognize. Then stated you didn't care what a M.D. said we decide what is or is not a wound. My wife produced 4 different forms of identification. Her DL omitted one letter. H

Ms. J had a good sense of humor, she very polite and easy to talk to and she made sure their here patients was good and comfortable and I love that about her keep up the good job Ms. J. You is one of the best workers they got and pray you continue doing a great job and be bless

Porsche and Freddy are very wrong to people that comes in, they talk about people and down them they are not perfessional at All, I will be going to a higher source to have them removed from there, there are others that is entertained by them and it doesn't make them look good at all there need to be a change very soon because people go there to donate not to be talked about. I received a call from Porsche stating that she permanently deferred me.

Each time I have donated it have always been Fast and easy great staff/ management ...very clean environnement..

Kionna has amazing customer service! Great employee

Terrible and unprofessional staff wouldn't recommend my worst enemy to come to this place...

Such an EASY process to help save a life. The staff are excellent. I would highly recommend this facility to my friends and family.

Tanisha my fav the whole crew is awesome clean keep us laughing and always on point but Tanisha she deserves to b promoted

They are liars and time wasters. They told me over the phone that diabetics could donate then made me stand in line, answer a bunch of highly intrusive questions, take my fingerprints, and take my picture before telling me I couldn't donate because I was diabetic. This contradicts what their own website says as well as many others. Then they wouldn't even let me wait inside while my brother in law finished donating. FIND A DIFFERENT PLACE. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME HERE.

College student or single parent that needs some quick cash and don't have worry about paying them back, this is the place Just follow the recommendations and you'll be able to get paid and able to earn extra if really needed

Kiarra R. Has a great personality she smells nice all the time she makes me feel comfortable whenever she sticks me

In and out fast I always get teddy to tend to me so I have no complaints I hope I am saving lives keep up the good job

Very friendly and easy to do. always paid what was said.they make the journey very easy and nice.lay back and relax no sleep lol,watch tv or just listen to your phones music(with earphones).

They erroneously claimed I was positive for a very serious STD, and I was informed I was permanently deferred from donating plasma there EVER again... Jump to a few months later and I learn not only that I'm negative of any STD's but also that I actually never had anything to begin with!! Didn't make a bit of difference to my donating status though! You'd think they'd have a policy on giving a permanent deferral based on false or erroneous test results considering that it's all solely theIr responsibility,

Honestly these people are very nice and friendly and they are very professional... They are smart and my favorite so far is raven... I will be returning..

This is my 2nd time returning. Staff has been nothing but nice to everyone here ( reguardless of color) like anyone should. I aint never seen folks be rude to no one here.

I donated blood 1 time They took a blood sample from me an the doctor was supposed to call me He has not attempted to contact anyone they took samples from . An he never even shows up to work the workers . Don't even know when he is coming in ... I'm looking for a number to contact so I can file a discrimination claim against them .. They even make jokes about certain people who donate blood all the time ... They think people who donate blood everyday are drug attics ...when people out here really do n

What I don't understand is how you turn people around for new donors an hour before closing but when you call the automatic response thing tells new donors to come an hour before closing then mf want to catch attitudes like if you don't want to work then why are you there

In and out quick and smooth, great people work there friendly atmosphere

Good place in and out

They are great ???? good workers...

My experience at Immuno Tek was the best donation process I've ever had compared to the facilities in LR and Hot Springs by far it's no comparison at all and I'd recommend anyone willing to donate to go visit IMMUNO TEK to do so . My expectations were over exceeded the pleasant and proper customer service made the plasma donation one of the best parts of a productive day. Erika and Rabin are great! Erika is a great sticker!

Tedric was nice,an the stick didn't hurt so he did a great job

The staff is very friendly & the facility is really nice.

Mrs Kemp is horrible she is rude but the rest of the staff is amazing

Mr James is the best here nothing hurts and is very courteous

Freddy does not change gloves in between patients im going to a higher source.

New technology with the wrong management. Too much attention where it doesn't need to be. Needs to be more aware of domestic environmental awareness. Thank you
