Customer Reviews

Far and away the best in the OKC METRO. Best staff from front to back. Best attitude. They are professionals and care about what they are doing. I have been here over year now and I have noticed maybe 1-2 staff members who have left and 1-2 new ones take their place. I do not have an issue or even a suggestion for any one of them. They are the best team across the board and I've been to three other places in the city.

Jamie is the sole reason I will be avoiding this location. Don't really feel like getting belittled before donating do not recommend. Jessica was lovely and got me to their other locations where I can avoid front staff like that.

I had an all around terrible experience. Laid in the bed for 30 minutes ready to donate before anyone came. And they give the wrong info out. I was told that I would get one amount and ended up getting much less. If I was a new donor I would stay away from this place. Very unprofessional. If I could give half a star I would. Will not be going back ever again.

I've been to every plasma center but Grifols can be the fastest one in the OKC metro. I really love everyone here but Seljia is my favorite. She is kind and friendly so friendly. Would recommend them getting more employees because you can sit in a chair for a while and hear a lot of people have to take there breaks like a hour after they start work which is crazy

I forgot that I left a bad review one day. I was so frustrated cause I couldn't get through over the phone. They're cool though over all. The money comes clutch and you're helping people at the same time. It's a win win.

If you choose to donate plasma I would not recommend this center I have donated here for awhile now and I can say for sure it has went down hill there's hardly enough staff to run the place accordingly and the manager Bridgett seems scatter brainedand focused on the wrong this vs running things smoothly she will literally stop her workers in the middle of doing a donors stick and send them on break meanwhile the donor who has already waited 30 minutes after being out on the bed has to wait even longer while

This facility is great. The staff is always helpful and pleasant.

Place has declined. Front desk employees are usually rude and/or inattentive. Donors that wait are loud, disruptive, on thier phones, playing music, watching videos, causing others to not her their names being called. A couple of the screeners act just as ghetto, talking loudly, laughing, playing, not focusing on the job or individual, putting your information out so loud so everyone knows your overweight with hypertension, talking while they stick you, alot of staff gone, staff just rude, very few courteou

Donating here has been the best experience with any plasma donation center I've been to. The scheduling and getting called back and hooked up is awesome. I tend to get sick during the draw and the tech was so wonderful when I told her she said, she could lower it down and gave me the number to give for the draw and return every time I donate. I've been coming ever since thanks to her.

Absolutely the best staff I can always count on khyra and Trese when I visit both girls are attentive and do what they need to do to in order to make every visit go smoothly and make this plasma center the best one in OKC I do recommend this plasma center to anyone that wants to donate plasma This is where you want to be!

The head black lady in charge does a great job and keeps her composure under pressure i def have to give them their flowers! Today was a lot for them to handle being under staffed today

The service isnt very fast so if you plan to donate I'd budget in about 2 hours. The facilites are clean, the staff are nice and the money's good though. Also, avoid coming in around the holdiays, they're usually terribly understaffed around then and its very hectic.

All the staff here are great except the center manager. When I was there a few days ago she was screaming and berating an employee in front of other workers as well as myself who was just there to donate. I found it very unprofessional and very crude she's how old and acting like that. The only thing she should be managing is her attitude and her mouth. Everyone else perfect fantastic chefs kiss. The only reason I know she's a center manager is because I asked who was that yelling at you guys and everyone w

..ive been going for about year and a half and I luv the staff here! Every time we come, were greated and friendly staff i luv it here and would recommend 10 stars if i could lol

Very nice friendly place to donate plasma they are really fast about getting to hole process completely in a timely manner!!!!

Wonderful staff! Their machines run a lot faster than other ones around. Always a great experience.

Am loving this Center?Proper amount of Patience with happy Professionalism and Pride. Best stick EVER, thanks to Fatima!! Did not feel the stick!

Never go to this place. Ked plasma and CSL are far better options. This company issues a card that will steady take money out for any and every transaction including checking the balance. Never have I had a card go negative before on its own and it's all because the automated system put in place of the card. Wrong ATM? -$5 , card got declined cuz there wasn't enough? -$3 . Like don't go to this place cuz the best they'll offer you is Iam sorry. Ked plasma in Norman in by far the best place to go and after t

Love the people who work here. They are super kind and compassionate. They take time to know you and when you are donating they make sure you are comfortable and help you if you need anything.

Really do love this plasma center my visits are always a good experience I donate 2 times a week faithfully the staff has always been attentive and professionally friendly they even remember who you are which is to me thoughtfully nice. Anywhom I do have one complaint on the worker named Zach I just do not feel like he has the best interest for the donors he really seems more like he wants to get donors deferd. I also feel he is terrible at screening due to he didn't seem how to work the machine and poked m

Been sitting on a bed wait8ng to be hooked up for 1 hour and 30 mins!!! Employees are just moving slow and picking what they want to do

amazing team!!! always on time, nice, and accommodating! i?ve been coming here for almost 2 years and i love it ??

Will not be returning they offer 40 $ for ur fist tat donation but then tell u ur second is 75$ but what they don't tell u is if u don't donate during the week u don't receive the 75$ it resets every Sunday i only got 80 $ for both my last visits they do not post the time reset at all

The people were si nice here. Great place no waiting. Good job!

I come here twice a week and I absolutely love the staff here they are so attentive and polite

This center has gotten somewhat better but could still use some improvements. The staff is all really nice however a few of them need some better training on how to stick donors.

Great place to donate. Everyone is super cool and chill. Glad I chose this location

Two times I've been it's been quicker than other plasma centers. New donor bonus is 100 for first 4 donations.

Everyone here is wonderful. It is a clean and sanitary facility. I perfer to come here then anywhere else.

Yes!!!just won $250 for being new donor in. November. Thank you grifols

Great hospitality!! Very clean!!

They are always very professional here and very kind and always make sure I am taking care of

Wonderful friendly people. Love the whole staff.

They are very friendly and they I will do the best to work with you with the scheduling appointments

Never had a bad experience here , absolutely love Shayla and Dallas !!! 10/10 recommend if your looking to donate plasma come here. Very sweet people

Very unprofessional staff at desk, letting others with later appointments bypass those with set timed appointments, Indian man was very disrespectful. The above was 3 months ago, same thing again on 4/30/2025......set an appointment, check in before appointment...... people with later appointments go ahead of you.....why set an appointment?

Talecris is a great place to donate and they get you in and out on Time but they are also patient and gentle and they're very cautious on how they poking stick you

I been here and the people are so nice and respectful thx u so much I will be coming back

Everyone here has been really helpful and kind every time I have been here. I enjoy coming here!

They are awesome been coming for years fast I'm in and out every time

Been coming here for years. Amazing staff and great work. I highly advise coming here.

I first gave on December 2nd. no bruising no swelling, no traumatic event. December 20th of 24th is a different story. I will be showing you pictures of what the individual did to me ?? I am absolutely and unequivocally mortified at what this individual did to me. I'm able not able to donate because of the severe horrific way he left my arms. supposed to have many many years experience there? haaa that individual, was AT BEST.. A BAD MAN. I DON'T EXAGGERATE ABOUT THINGS LIKE THIS. I AM TERRIFIED OF NEEDLES

The company is extremely clean and it's always fast. They have some of the best staff I've been around, so professional and dedicated. They're still great til this day

Money takes 5 minutes to hit the account once they log it in if it takes any longer than that then employees are seriously being lazy

I have been donating here a few years now and it's gotten way better in staff, they are pretty friendly, the reason for 4 stars is because of the wait time in line sometimes. They are very nice overall ??

I've got 40 on my 3 donation and it was supposed to be 100 bucks as a new donor first 4 donations withing 30 days is 100

Compared to others, their new machines get the job done in 7 cycles versus 13. That's a savings of 25 minutes!

Just amazing fun good for giving but the beauty is in saving lives Aman love piece n happiness

Usually in and out at a decent time. Clean, professional. This is my 5th visit

Jessica is absolutely top of the notch phlebotomist. I would recommend giving all your plasma away

Great Place, Great Staff, and most importantly a very clean and friendly environment

Very polite staff, they're always fast and efficient!

Friendly staff, easy process they make sure you are comfortable and want for nothing!

Great treatment especially from Torrie Ellis she's amazing person.

Nice staff. Slow first time process but it was not idle.

Very friendly staff fast machines and great environment

Best place ever staff vary friendly also vary fast service

The employees are knowledgeable and courteous. Their operations are speedy.

The place is clean, nice and quiet. They do show movies on the TV or news. Not much of a wait, also downloading the app does help make the process easier and more efficient. The employees are nice and always make sure you are good before donating. So far it has been good with no complaints.

It's been cool and clean. Here lately the wait has gotten longer but no big deal. However the older lady who does vitals is rude. The girl at the desk was showing me how to schedule an appointment and she just grabs my phone from me so she can see too. 3 of us were scheduled at the same time and they called for us to get in line and she makes it her point to tell us one at a time and to form a line. We'll obviously we all can't go in at once. The scheduling sucks so far hopefully they get it worked out.

Great staff donating here is always a good experience!

Low stress professional staff

Staff is cool. Very friendly. Get you in and out with no time. Torrie cracks me have me laughing was nervous at first until she had me laughing and not worried about the needle.

I like all of the staff at Telacris. They take care of me and get me in and out professionally. Keep up the good work.

I've been going to this place for years.It has gone down the drain with rude un professional workers. Never in ten years have I been bruised but in the last six weeks i've been bruised by the same worker who bullied me and berated me in front of people today for her mistake. Let's talk about the unprofessionalism for one. They never asked me for my i'd. number. Instead, they announced my name loudly and then asked if that was my name. Then I asked them to turn the machine down for my safety.The worker never

I love this place and Bridget is a good lady and very helpful

First time there and it went too smooth. Staff was attentive and laid back and know what they're doing. Mariah was beyond awesome!!! Loved her energy and spirt!! The staff all around made it comfortable and the atmosphere relaxed. No feelings of dread when returning.

Best place to go to staff is amazing

I've been to several plasma centers and this one is by far my favorites.. Been donating here for a few years now.

Friendly staff gets you through quickly.

Been coming here for 2 years & this place is great! Perfect staff, they are friendly and professional. Trese is coolest! Bridget, Bianca, Michelle, Selena, Elise & the nurses Mariah and Co. are a awesome unit!

By far the best place I've donated. Other places I've spent hours just waiting to be taken back this place takes you straight back, does your vitals etc then to your bed. Every time I have gone here I'm in and out in an hour or less other places take an before your even getting started. And all the people here are very nice.

Had my first bad experience with 1 of the staff that poke an he ain't have know care that he was digging in past the vain an pokes me without the cuff on an then I bleed out an he just whipped it an threw his gloves off like he was mad because he did wrong man I been coming here since 2010 an this is the worst experience I done ever had here it helps in life but if they don't care about they jobs an patience no more gone have to make a change because it was unsanitary an unbelievable how it's started an end

They make the experience smooth and easy. And it doesn't take a long time I defintely recommend this place

This place has some of the most friendliest employees in the field. They take time to make sure they get it done accurately and efficiently and most of all they take the time to remember those who come often as happened with my wife and I which always makes it feel easier especially in the times where they are short handed and you have to wait a bit the friendly faces that show are always welcoming and encouraging that they are trying hard. Effort and care go a long ways and they make sure to show both. Tha

This place is getting ridiculous. It should take 2-3 hours just to go through screening WITH AN APPOINTMENT!! Making appointments has done absolutely nothing good and has only made these people slower!! This is ridiculous! Either limit the amount of appointments at one time or hire more people!!!!!! No excuse for an appointment to take that long

They have a phone. They just don't answer. If you need to call them might as well schedule a whole day to try

Amazing staff. Always super helpful.

Absolutely love the friendly staff & they are all very professional max time in and out is no longer than 1 1/2 I highly recommend!!!!! UPDATE : 10/17/2023 rude staff on floor today I will tell everyone I know to find a different donation site this girl was very unprofessional & rude she made me feel very uncomfortable ! Wasn't worried about anyone unless you were a male in bays. I asked her to lose my cuff 2x because my hand was numb 30 minutes after my donation ended my hand is still numb, hematosis ma

Great place! The employees are all nice and pretty patient. Pays well, and they get u in and out as fast as possible! Very cool place to make a few hundred a month!

Always a friendly, pleasent atmosphere from the front end to the donor floor. Even during busy times the place still runs like a well oiled machine. Great Job Guys!!!

Love the people here but wondering what the point of having to do appointments if it still takes you and hour and a half to even be hooked up. I understand they are going as fast as they can and not necessarily their fault; but maybe don't have as many appointments in 1 time slot ya know?.

Today i go in, do vitals go to the back get put on a table at 1:15, The woman that hooked the person up next to me says she has to use the restroom. Goes too the restroom comes back 15 minutes later. I patiently wait not saying anything. Now its after 1:45 im still not hooked up, i turn to my partner next to me who is almost done with her donation and tell her im just going to wait outside not being rude not having a attitude of any kind . And a little fat mexican employee turns and tells me ?well ok, we?r

Love this place!!! The the staff is very friendly... "my personal favorite's are Michelle & Sherry.... they're the best" I have had really bad experiences in the past at different donating center's but not here ?? and it's a really quick process. They get you in and out as quick as they can and it's very clean center. I'd definitely recommend this center!!!!

Great atmosphere. Friendly and knowledgeable staff..always donor bonuses which is nice too..only twice did I not get paid out correctly. If I take time out to come donate because of $100 dollar bonus via text, I'd hope to get paid out correctly after showing each person I communicated with in the process and it was written on my paperwork. Mistakes happen, but it's inconvenient nonetheless. That's frustrating when you cant get a soul to answer a phone to fix the issue in the evening but Telecris is a clean

Good service friendly staff quite place

Very great friendly staff. I've never had an issue. I love this place. Ms Sherri is my favorite but I love seeing all the familiar faces from my first time in 2017. ?

Cool place to come, always quick to get me processed and then I request the best lady back there, Sheri Andrew's. She's awesome getting you started on your donation. She does an awesome stick EVERY TIME!! She's amazing and gentle and makes you comfortable so donating goes pleasantly. Bossman!! She's awesome and she's one reason I keep coming back.

I would like to let the company know that A.J. is a good worker and knows how to make us donors very comfortable. I'm here to say he is the number one worker for this company.

The people are really nice and do bonuses regularly

Always have an amazing experience while here. Maria is my favorite, and now they have a new person working AJ and he is very friendly and a knowledgeable.

Great place to donate. Staff are nice and helpful. They really care about their donars.

The workers are really nice but they always say my veins are too small on my left arm so I can't donate with that arm, so I can't get the bonus for donating twice in a week

The staff was extremely helpful, informative, friendly.

Great place. In and out quick

I am well pleased with the staff and services here at Talecris

Went in recently as a new donor. All of the staff was very nice and pleasant. They were a bit short handed the day I went in to sign up as a new donor, and the staff was extremely apologetic asbout the wait times and did their best to communicate what was going on and where I was in the process. All in all highly satisfied with this donation center and the staff here. I have donated here a total of 3 times now and plan to continue donating here.

Fastest machines in town. Super speedy and quick prescreen and screening process.. not as friendly staff as other local centers. They're quick though. Tons of "stray people" surrounding the building and parkinglot so lock your car for sure.

I have been to four places in the metro area and I like these guys. Best by far. Michelle is so fast and efficient. So are the rest of the staff. Yeah you may have to wait sometimes but you never feel like a stranger. Plus they usually have bonuses thru out the month. By far my favorite place to donate. Cynthia Roberts

I love the environment here!! The staff is always super friendly, and I get done here quicker than anywhere else. I wish they did more bonuses like they used to, but I still refuse to go anywhere else!

Good service and fast every time.

Telecris is the best facility to go to. I been going there for almost 2 years and I love it. The staff is the best, Bianca, Lisa, Michelle.. I just met this gentleman named Marko and he is awesome as well ????

Mariah is such an AMAZING character. Her positive attitude and personality made the whole place light up. Everyone is friendly and quick and makes you comfortable!

Great People here.... Could pay more, but it is what it is..

I'd say for the most part the staff that I've seen for awhile are very friendly and professional and proficient at this. The 3 star is because of those one or two workers that seem to be more concerned with their personal chats than the donor, which seems to cause longer wait times due to being side tracked.

The worst managed business I've ever seen! Lazy staff would rather YELL across the building at clients rather than walking over and addressing them properly. I also witnessed 3 different employees use profanity in front of me and several other clients.

I just love Mariah She is an outstanding and uplifting person and not to mention the customers service is wonderful. I found a new plasma home thank you talecris. You guys have a great team keep up the good work. I would have give you all a 10 out of 10. Thank you again for a wonderful donating experience.

Staff was very helpful, courteous and professional. I really loved Sam and Mariah! They both made my experience the best of any plasma center that I have been to. Thanks, Julie

I used to donate all the time and stopped awhile back, because y?all got greedy and stopped paying donors as much. The prices go up all over the world and we get rewarded by being paid even less money than we were before the pandemic, just because you know we need the money now more than ever. I know ya?ll make a lot of money selling our plasma and barely give us anything for it. If things don't change soon on more money, the donors will go on strike and y?all will have nothing. I've taken down a greedy bus

Came here after being denied from biolife. New donor process was so simple wait time not 2 bad with only one nurse her name is Mariah she was awesome got me thru the process made me feel comfortable..machines are alot faster

Called on the phone to ask about being a first time donor. They said come in. I did. When I got there, I was told there was only one nurse, so they couldn't take new donors. They said come back tomorrow. I did. Sign in and wait ?. Over an hour and no one is called. I ask the nurse how long it may be, and she says she has no idea, there's only two nurses. I told her I know, just a ballpark time, she gets rude and says she has no idea. I tell her I'll just leave, she says good.

The staff members are my favorite!! Chelsea, justice, and Dakota will always stick you with no discomfort at all. I just wish they'd stick with a payment system, I've been donating for about 2 years now and am currently considering moving centers because they don't offer enough for my time, in my personal opinion. But I don't want to switch centers so easily because it's my favorite by far, I'll wait a bit longer to see if they change the payment system back, or increase it a bit. It's always a decently fas

This place is an amazing place! The people that are working here are so compassionate about their patients! Michelle is one of the most sweetest and friendliest person up there besides Sherry! Love yall and gonna keep comin!???

I would definitely go to a different center, you can tell two to three people about the money that should be on your card when your at the center donating, and when your done the money won't be there, i called to try and get someone to answer the phone to upload it and they wouldn't answer. I drove to the center and showed the technician i called 12 times and showed them and they said they'll tell them to be more mindful of the phones. It was a waste of gas and time to donate here.

I have been here a few time last year or two can be slow at times but the staff are always on ball when it comes to getting you in and out they take time to explain things so you understand and they have the wheel

I've been here 3 times now. The staff have been in a generally good mood until I walked in today. I was greeted with some straight up attitude hidden behind their ?professional words?. I was still in the kiosk when my name was called to a booth, so after I was finished I waited to have my name called again because I didn't know if that booth was full. The lady just looked at my and said ?booth six? acting like I was just ignoring her. Don't know if I will come back. I definitely don't feel comfortable being

Very fast and wonderful staff.

Staff is well versed in the art of teamwork, A major plus. No major issues and no minor issues that couldn't be resolved quickly and Professionally. A great place to donate.

I would gave this place more stars because as a new donor the initial process went pretty fast, but I ended up being there for 3hrs, once I made I it to the floor it took 20min just to set up my machine, then after I was hooked up to the machine it kept malfunctioning causing my donation time to take way longer then It should have. Then to top it off it took another 15min just to get my card. As a donor my time is important too. A process that should take 2hrs max.

Been going there for a couple of years. Always fast and pleasant. Trese does a great job and Sheri and Lisa are the best

the employees who stick the donors are polite and professional in my experience. there are issues that are NOT going to change. the new owners are simply lining their pockets and not really caring about the service poor employees provide to the donors. they took away incentives of the employees who were loyal to this company. why not keep the really experienced employees? why take away benefits and incentives that were in place previously? It makes common sense but its apparent they are seriously avariciou

I used to donate here and had amazing experiences so when my fiance wanted to try their services, I highly recommended them. The new doner pay scale was supposed to be 100.00 for first, 125.00 for second, and 150.00 for third then go to regular pay schedule. He and my son in law went for their second donation today and only received 100.00 instead of the 125 that had been the original agreement. When my fiance contacted the center to find out why, he was told the pay schedule had changed yesterday. I can un

Friendliest caring staff, always clean, this place has definitely grown . And it might seem like a long wait but for them to be short staffed they move pretty fast paced !

Today was my first time becoming an actual donor of plasma. The process went very smoothly and the entire staff was polite, professional and friendly. Also I am praying I receive that actual bonus of 100 as stated by bringing in the flyer on my first visit. Looking forward to future donations.

Scheduled a appointment at 5:45 showed up at 5:40. I waited 45 minutes and they never called me back after checking in at the kiosk. Told the gal up front(Checking temps) that people who checked in after me is going before me could she check my name. She never checked and I overheard saying how she was suppose to get off at 6pm and I looked it was 6:20 at that particular time. My time is valuable treat it as such.

My mom came to this donation place and ended up passing out.and instead of the ladies being nice and asking if she was okay they scowled at her the whole time and made her feel as if she was putting them out. This is terrible service to your donors and absolutely ridiculous.

Wasn't the best experiences this time around. It's been about 5 years since I was donating on a somewhat regular basis. I returned recently in the middle of November 2021 as they apparently had multiple promotions this month. I never received any of my bonuses after the end November 2021. HOWEVER they tell you that you receive bonuses FOR THE FIRST 30 days! This isn't true. Only if in the same month. Also joined the text to receive more bonuses. And I was told by all the staff (because I asked everyone) sai

If I could give negative stars I would. Staff is rude and lazy. They lock their doors before their closing hours. Employees have zero sense of urgency when handling donors waiting to start the donation or when they finish the donation. Their website states you can call to make an appointment and the automated voice on the phone states you can make an appointment but they won't take appointments over the phone IF they even answer the phone. ONLY reason to donate here is their new donor fee's after that you c

If I could have giving more stars I would.This place is Awesome!not what I expected out of a place like this.The staff are always in good spirits and it doesn't take long at all.Will continue to come here.

Talecris is by far the best plasma donation center in Oklahoma city. They get you in and out quickly the center is always clean and the staff there are absolutely amazing! Don't go anywhere else!

Great donating place staff is amazing

I don't have a problem with any of the staff. They're friendly and do a good job moving me through the system. Never had a problem getting stuck - they always hit my veins with very little discomfort. I honestly don't know where all the negative reviews come from. What does bother me is the pay system. Why is my first donation of the month worth so much less than the 7th donation?

Tried calling a few days ago to make an appointment. First call, got hung up on after listening to a really loud buzz for about 5 minutes, no one answered. Second call, the machine told me they were too busy to take the call. Went in today because they take walk-ins. Was informed they were "all booked up" today and that I had to either call or go back early tomorrow to make an appointment for friday even though I was currently there. Why couldn't I just make an appointment while I was there? It makes no sen

I do not ever leave reviews but this place was the worst establishment I've ever entered. I went to donate plasma 7/23/22. I was a new patient so I expected it to take longer. I was processed in the first 2 hours and I waited 2 more hours and was never contacted. I left the establishment. I came back today, 7/24/22. I was the 7th person in line and it was approximately 6:40am when I arrived. I made it inside, checked in electronically, and sat there for 2 hours with no contact from the staff. This was the b

This place is amazing! the staff is very friendly and helpful. I would like to personally thank mrs misty and fatima they made my experience quick easy and welcoming. I would recommend anyone thinking about going to do so immediately you will not be disappointed!

I come in here frequently, usually at least once a week. Typically, I have no issues but there is a certain employee here that depending on HER mood, dictates what off the wall things she will say to you. Sometimes I have a low iron level, but it's usually in the green zone. But being female, sometimes when the menstrual cycle hits, my iron can vary. Usually, she will just tell me to take my vitamins (which I do), and I've even gone to eating peanuts to help bring my level higher. Unfortunately, on most

The employees are always so nice , the wait normally isn't long and if it is they do their best to get everyone in a decent time . It's clean and I can honestly say after going to a few others in the city it's the nicest one you'll find .

Even with appointments it now takes longer to donate . They never have enough screener put plenty of people standing around doing nothing except talking to each other .make a 230 appt and if you are lucky they get you in 5he and stick you by 400 ridiculous

Went in had a long but reasonable wait as it is a PAID donation site. Was My first time the staff where very helpful and informative. For all others complaining about the wait time it's kinda implied considering this is a LEGAL way to make cash so tons of people will be there over all prepare to wait and have fun saving lives!

Don't ever go there they suck.

I love the phlebotomist here, but the pregnant "manager" acted completely unprofessional treating me like I was a impatient person but I was just a person who was being passed up by lots of people who had checked in after me all because they had placed my folder in the wrong section. When I went up to ask if my folder was lost(I heard another worker ask why my folder was in that section, that's when i knew was lost), or something her reply was rude,she snipped out ,"you're next!" Not even giving me time t

I come to this center for a couple of months a year and each time I go i always have wonderful experience. The ladies are super nice and always make sure you are comfortable

I absolutely love the welcoming atmosphere the employees give here at Talecris. They give their all to get everyone in & out in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend this plasma center and their bonuses are awesome.

I liked nothing about this place. They are a bunch of amateurs who seriously need some employee training. They like to completely waste people's time. I spent 1.5 hours up here for them to tell me that the ID they saw in the first 5 minutes was not good enough. Came back the next day with the proper ID only to find out after an hour that the ID that was accepted the day before now, all of a sudden, was no longer acceptable. If they are really paying people for there time, where is my money for the 2.5 hours

The people that work here are very friendly. They have a better system in place than all the other centers and are able to get their donors in and out pretty quickly. No 6 hour donation trips coughcoughCSLcoughcough

Fast! Precise! Good real people! Mariah, Sherri, Marko, Michelle, Ashley, fantuma and Lisa are great! Mackenzie is a great manager

All nice staff unlike other places and check on you often. A little slow at times but will get what you need when they can.

The staff refuses to do their job. If they don't feel like messing with you they'll make up some reason why you can't donate. I would not recommend this place as a suitable donation center. Staff is very rude and I feel extremely uncomfortable in there?? UPDATE?? So I decided to keep going back and they screwed up my payments twice, I let it go cause its not about the money but the fact they lied again and gave false payments I will not return and I advise people to not come to this donation center( good fo

Place scammed me. Said I was a ?new? and gave me 70$ the first time. 2nd time gave me 30 then said I didn't wait the 6 months. (Make sure you watch the date, they'll restart the whole process and make you believe your new. Then look at you dumb when they promise your new donor just to make you wait another 6 months to becomes one again.)

Was great the first few times the staff are friendly, recently they aren't worth risking your veins & time. I started going to the Octapharma which I highly recommend better pay for the time and effort. ??

Grifols has a very professional wrk staff ..they were the nicest ppl I ever met

Very rude staff. Went my second time today and waited an hour and a half to even get my finger pricked. In my arm check they told me the burn I have on my arm (from work) needs to heal some more before I can give. Like I could have been out trying to make some well needed cash that hour and 30 minutes.

The staff here are so kind! They made me feel so comfortable. Brit was awesome and made the whole process easier. ????

Great place to donate, but when I call, nobody ever answers. I live 30min away and was not compensated the 50 extra I was supposed to receive after donating. I waited at the center for 1h, then was told I could call to check back. I cannot get a person to answer the phone, WHY?

This place is now a joke. They won't tell you how much you earn because it's so low. I went ahead and did it. The second time they messed up and blood went into my arm not my vein. Tried going back a week later but the bruise is to bad. Won't go back after this run around.

leaving this review cause I've been there 3x and fail heart rate test by cpl points. I have issue when I feel my pulse in the cuff my heart starts 2 race cause I'm stressing over passing this after 1st fail. this is a issue I have. I was told get on anxiety meds. I'm not gonna take a med just to pass this!! I asked my cardio Dr if I can donate, and was told ur perfectly fine 2 donate!!!!! yet I was told I have 2 fail regularly for least 2mos to get new blood work and then they might take a drs note!! insane

When you go to the front counter and ask what you need to do to be a new doner you are told to wait in the chairs and someone will help you. Workers go in and out of the office and no one would even give me paperwork to fill out I sat there for 1 hour with no help. I have never been treated like this anywhere before. All of my family donates there and now they say they will not go back cause how they treated me

Nice workers and gentle hands

Update 09/2019: They've changed their payscale once again and it's bad. It really punishes anyone who can't make it out there twice a week and the pay overall is lower than what it used to be. I can only recommend now if you are desperate for money or just want to help people out. UPDATE: I've now donated here about 6 times and it has been much better than my first time that took what felt like a lifetime. The process now takes between 1.25-1.5 hours and pays immediately apon finishing. It's a good way to

Excellent workers caring and friendly. However. Have to call for pay. Today i received three dollars was suppose to be 150 for return and donating by the 13th of this month. I called in but balance hasnt changed

They never answer the phone, when you go in you have to wait 10 plus minutes for someone to even acknowledge you and then they still finish the irrelevant conversation with their co workers before they even greet you, but let's push past the poor customer experience and go into the fact they have since decided after sending my file to another center that they want to now permanently defer you for a policy that was an indefinite deferral and claim its a permanent one when it can in fact be lifted per center

Good place when people listen to what your saying. They have a bad habit of sticking you when the have no business doing so. I can't tell you how many times they have busted my veins and had to restick me due to someone doing it that shouldn't have been! They don't answer they phone. And don't give tour bonuses like they say they will..

I haven't donated here but I used to donate plasma. Judging by the reviews it's seems 50/50. The reason I say no is the response to the concerns. If it's not even concerning enough that you can't even personalize a comment it's hard to believe you are looking out for me, the customer. But have a good day and donate at your own risk.

Nice staff. Good place to donate. Sometimes it goes fast other times slow. Glad to help people that needs the plaz and I can use the extra money.

This place is garbage. Staff makes it very clear they get paid by the hour and no care about your time. Lisa and Sheri will constantly stop helping donors to have trivial personal conversations. And the pay is trash

First time donor today. This place was wonderful! Every single person that I came in contact with was polite and patient and helpful. Thanks so much for making it such a pleasant experience

I love the staff, and the atmosphere is wonderful. Your always out in a timley manner. I recommend this location to everyone.

I was seen here today appointment was at 11:30am got seen early for vitals at 11:25am and I been sitting in the back to be hooked up for 32mins and still counting................FINALLY GOT HOOKED UP @ 12:15pm

I've been coming to Talecris for almost two years. Great place, great staff. They work hard to get you in and out, in a safe and friendly way.

Donating at Talecris has been a great experience for me. Helping to save lives and entering extra cash is a win win!!! The staff are friendly and go out of their way to help others!

Always fast and great staff very nice makes you feel welcome compared to other places I've been to

Would never recommend I've tried to call several times on 4 separate days in the span of a week and I've never gotten an answer. I use public transportation and would hate to catch a bus all the way to the center to ask simple questions that could be answered on the phone. Why have a phone number if no one ever answers? That goes for the managers all the way down to the front desk no one ever answers! Ridiculous. Don't waste your time.

First 5 times as a new donor you will receive $50.00. They do offer referral bonuses as well. Depending on how much you weigh is how much you weigh will be how much you donate in plasma. But they dont pay by your weight. There is a board that shows how much you receive within the month. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. If you have any concerns, they are happy to answer. Due to increase of donors, it's sometimes more difficult to answer the phone in a quick and timely manner. But starting Nov. 5th we w

I was told for the month of August that the 5th week would carry into September and that if my 8th donation was before the 4th I would receive the extra $50 bonus. Not only did I not receive the $50 bonus your lab techs had nothing posted saying otherwise on any kind of memo or promotional paper. I have been donating at your location since 2005 and not only am I mad with the way things are ran up there but with the lieing to patrons like myself on these bonus. Your weight machines as are not calibrated corr

Very friendly and courteous staff hardly ever a long wait I have high blood pressure so it takes me a few minutes longer to donate basically an hour the money is ok but all in all it's worth it.

I havent even donated here yet because they wont answer the phone. I live in verden Oklahoma I can't just take a friendly drive up to this facility to set an appointment. They really need to change their phone policy. I have called Management and left several messages seeing how I've been calling since last Friday. I understand coronavirus has everyone under staffed but the managers can sit on Facebook taking pictures posting them and even taking time to comment on some of them but they have no time to answ

You wait forever to be seen then once you go to the back your still waiting one day I was there for 3 hours late for work. Then I had a student mess up my arm I had to wait a month before I could return I asked to speak to the manager she was rude just said either she stick your other arm or you get nothing because I asked for someone more experienced.

I came in two days in a row and was told they wouldn't see me. No new patient's, not enough staff, call before you come out. When you call, their message system tells you how badly they need donors. The donor's they had waiting, should be drug and disease tested first. Extremely unprofessional. And the staff, are extremely rude.

Staff is always great, super fast service, no hours long lines, and occasionally Marco will karaoke with you!

The people that work make you feel welcome and they get you in and out as soon as they can I like come here

Love the staff up here, they arre great. Marko is a wonderful phlebotomist. Never once did I feel the needle stick. Of all the places I've gone to donate plasma, this location has some of the best staff ever.

Went to donate and it was a little busy, people were being childish and cutting the line and when we told Staff they said they didn't care. Tyler is so Damn rude and smirky and the situation. Won't be coming back to this place. ??

Great way to help save lives and make some extra cash. It's a clean facilitie and the staff is friendly. They give great bonuses and make me feel safe while im there. Come try it out and bring a friend.

I really enjoy going. The staff is nice and place is clean. But I can seem to ever get them to answer the phone. I've called 20 times and someone answers and hangs up. What's the deal with that

The staff is very very rude . No matter what time you get there or what day it is you are looking to wait a good 3 to 6 hours, any other plasma center does not take this long. I don't know what is going on at this center but the way they're running things is causing them to lose donors. In my opinion they need new management and a total new staff . If you do not like your job go find another one. The last time I was there I had set for three hours, then they pricked my finger and all that then told me

Center was fast and efficient. CMS staff was very helpful in pushing the process along. Brittany was amazing.

As an amazing place it's easy to get in and out of. The staff here is friendly and courteous and I look forward to coming back every time to see their great bonuses.

So back in 2016 the deferred me because of something they thought I was lying about which I wasn't so now I can't donate at biomat because of something they thought and now they won't take it off of my account and I can't donate at both places which is messed up cuz right now I need that money so if there's anyone I can talk to that is above the assistant manager that was willing to help me get this off please help cuz I can get a doctor's note.

Everybody is so unbelievably mean here. The only nice person I encountered was the nurse that did my physical exam. Plus it looks like they haven't updated their system or facility since the 90s. Everything is paper based. And everything smells like mildew. Once I get my bonuses, I'm switching back to CSL or Octapharma. Anything is better than here.

So far great experience, always pleasant staff. Only downfall is the wait trying to get to a donation bed. The staff is doing the best that they can with what they have to work with.

Tomorrow would be a two week break for me cause I had someone damage my veins is what I was told today and This is the 2nd time I had problems at this facility I do not recommend I was told by a supervisor that the people who stick you do not care and will mess up your veins and no one wanted to stick me due to the fact that they do not care and will stick you and mess up your veins I feel like they should hire people who would like to do there job like they get paid for like Bridgette was asked to stick me

Great place to be, staff is very friendly and polite. They make you feel welcomed and very informative. I enjoy coming here. Come on down. Its Amazing

Wow just wow I understand being low staff but rude staff getting mad bc some one speaks up saying they where here first and the staff member skips me to someone who was behind me to stick knowing I was bf him so rude ?? I will make sure corporate knows about this and her

95% of the staff is great at what they do but it's not the staff that I'm writing this review. It is the new VISA CARD. It sucks! I use the city bus system to reach the donor center and every time I want to purchase a ticket I have to delete the card's information and re-enter it, however the last time I tried to buy a ticket the card would not be accepted. Along with that we are now being charged if we use the card more than twice between donations. I prefer the old MasyerCard. It only costed us when we us

Some people are nice but most dont care what their doing. Last 2 times i went they blew my vein. big bruises on my arms but there is some good people there overall i think its just my luck on that part but after my 1st donation i was in and out within 1 and a half hrs everytime now.

Great staff and experience! I've been donating here for about 4 months now, and I've had nothing but a positive experience here. Highly recommended for anyone who is considering donating!

Ms marry was the best I Recommend her and AJ took good care of my Physical Good Environment

Fairly quick and painless process. Staff are always nice. They are respectful and helpful great place to go

This is a great spot. They answer all questions. They are fast and professional. I have donated 7 times with no problems

I think donating is a wonderful thing for many reasons. You get to help yourself while also helping others. The Talecris Plasma Donation center in Oklahoma City is a place I've been coming to for the past 3 years and sure I've had my ups and downs with the place, dealing with a few rude staff who aren't equipped to handle neuro-diverse individuals. Still though the 2 managers there are very kind and also understanding and have helped me a lot.

I have had a very good experience while donating the girls are real friendly and will help you any way they can, Bridgett is by far my favorite, shes awesome, well everyone is great and passionate.

Generally a decent place to donate forget about calling them tho after donating about 5 years here now ive only ever had them pick up the phone twice that phone in the front desk might as well be for decoration

I really enjoy coming to this location, everyone is so friendly and willing to answer any and all questions. They really make it a fun experience!

This is the 2nd time I've been lied to about how much I'll be paid... The staff has actually improved but it's pretty frustrating when the text message promos aren't honored for whatever reason... Even though I was told the first time that after my 4th donation I'd get a bonus.

They took away the chairs, are extremely inefficient. They took away returning new donor fees. There's really no incentive to ever come back to this dump.

Very clean and fast staff always there to help you in any manner possible they are all great and awesome because they make it fun and cool place to come donate plasma at

You can never get anyone to answer the phones.. but my main gripe is the pay. I was told I was suppose to get $60 more than I was paid. Then when I talked to someone they said even tho I had only been 2 times I wasn't considered a new donor because I didn't come in the time frame allotted. I had covid! But after just 2 visits they considered me a return donor without any of the bonuses I was suppose to get as new donor.

More employees and Fingerprint Kiosk. You don't sit long after answering questions on kiosk you usually get called for vitals. Approximately an hour and U will be in a bed to be getting hooked up. Friendly helpful staff. Clean. Save. People's lives and Make money and new friends

Frequently Asked Questions

What disqualifies you from donating plasma?

Plasma donors can get disqualified for a list of different reasons, which may result in a temporary or a permanent deferral. Common reasons people get a temporary disqualification may include being dehydrated, taking certain medications, getting a tattoo within the last 4 months, or being pregnant in the last 6 months.

How can you donate plasma quickly?

Donating plasma can get busy with donors and long waiting times. To donate plasma faster, choose a plasma center that allows you to book an appointment online and take your health screening questionnaire remotely from home. Additionally, call your local plasma center and ask for the least busy days and times of the week.

Can you workout after donating plasma?

Most phlebotomists recommend that you take a day off from working out or lifting weights on the same day as your plasma donation. Instead, take the day to rest, eat well, and drink plenty of water after your donation.

How often can I donate plasma?

Plasma donors are legally capped at two donations per week or 7-day period, with at least 48 hours in between each donation.

What should I eat before donating plasma?

Before your plasma donation, it's recommended that you drink plenty of water (4-6 eight-ounce glasses), and eat a meal with high protein and iron content. Avoid drinking alcohol and smoking on the same day as your donation.
