Customer Reviews

Parachute of Corsicana is my family ??. They are all amazing at what they do. Everyone is clean and well trained! I just love them here

You are saving lives by donating. And it's tax free money on a debit card you can use anywhere and check the balance on the app easily. Staff are cool. Corsicana is a clean professional location!!! Chenoa and Savannah are cool. But every worker there I am a fan of! You're very first donation will take about 2 1/2 to 3 hours but after that you are usually out in about 90 minutes. The more often you go the more you make. Lots of incentive and bonus things they do which means no? money y?all. ?????? KLF

My experience was thoroughly enjoyable. Peyton Chapman in the front very efficient and Swift talk to me like we were friends. Savannah did my stick it was the first time meeting her she is very good at her job on the technical side and very sociable as well she even did a dance.

Most people here are absolutely wonderful at their jobs - but I have zero clue how the hell Jenny hasn't been fired yet. Her needle sticks are unnecessarily rough and extremely painful. I don't experience this with anyone else. She is the only phlebotomist here that has left bruises on my arms, and after she sticks me I'm still bleeding after waiting six hours to take the bandage off. She's not exactly the friendliest either but that's not an issue - I know the phlebotomists have multiple people to supervis

Enrolled today and it was a great experience! Much smoother than past experiences with Biolife. The Parachute app is also great; promising option for consistent plasma donations. Keep in mind this location is only open week days.

Peyton is always so cheerful and helpful!! she makes the sign in process so easy and efficient! The staff is always very friendly ?? and always have the best tunes playing. Christian is very helpful and definitely keeps things rolling!!

Parachute has very outgoing people every time I come in there they make me feel very comfortable and welcomed. They have an amazing staff. Savannah is really good at her job. She is always making people smile and laugh at Parachute.

Staff is super nice and friendly and they actually care! Peyton always welcomes me in the facility!!! Makes me want to keep going. Savannah know how to do her job and doesn't hurt my veins, she gets it on first try!!!

Peyton is very wonderful. Peyton was the first person I met when I started coming to donate. Has a great personality. Always look forward into seeing her when coming in. Savanna likes to keep things upbeat which I enjoy

Savannah is a valuable asset to the Parachute team. She is extremely knowledgeable and her kind and friendly approach creates a comfortability and an all around great experience. I'm always glad to see her on my donation days!

Savannah is great person, has good skills always gets my vein I like her good and amazing work she's does for parachute. More people like her are needed. Thank you for your amazing work Savannah ????

My wife and I have been coming for about 3 years and we both agree that Peyton is one of the best. She's easy to talk to and fun to be around. I can see she loves her work and loves to work with people. She's serious about what she does but at the same time she's really chilled. Keep up the good work Peyton. 5 stars all the way

Jenny from da block has always had a great work ethic and positive attitude. Her sticks has been flawless and never witnessed any other donor feel differently. Keep up the great job!

Kaila was great constantly checking on how I was doing. Overall the staff is very friendly and polite.

Everyone is extremely nice and professional. Two employees that stand out are Chenoa and Peyton. There are others also, but unfortunately I'm so bad at remembering people's names.

I have always had good experiences with all of the staff I meet here. They are friendly and pretty quick to respond when you need them.

The staff is super nice. Always greeted with a smile from Peyton as soon as I walk in. Every phlebotomist especially Christian! is amazing and attentive! Just a great group of people. I definitely trust this place and highly recommend!

Everyone is great polite friendly professional Savannah does an amazing job. Along with Joe Anthony Christian Jennifer and Joe Van

Savannah has a good work ethic and definitely knows how to stick! All around good ppl

Firstly, the place is very clean, even the bathrooms, that's a win for me. Secondly, the staff is a bit drone-like in their disposition, which makes it feel a little awkward, but I do understand that they need to monitor several donors at once, and they do an amazing job keeping everyone safe and stable. Lastly, I do want to thank one employee in particular for their professionalism and support for me since I hadn't donated in a while. They were kind enough to run through everything again from the Health S

Great staff , willing and able to handle any and all situations at hand that may possibly arise. Savanna enjoys her work and it really shows. Kudos. D.J.W.

Savanna (hope I spelt it correct) was great. She got me hooked up shortly after I got seated. Very kind and funny.

This place used to be nice but seeing as how the last few times I have come here a new hire here as messed up my machine tubning and then messed up another person's machine then the wait times have gone up it takes more then an hour to even get in a chair I think this place is disorganized and frankly the new hire should be looked into for her behavio. Edit:it takes three hours to even get hooked to machince now so hope you have the time to do this now.

Parachute is a great place when you need some extra, especially with all the high prices of everything. They have some great friendly people there that make it fun, like Shanoa.

Peyton , jenny, Christian, javis, Savanna and the whole team is very nice and they always keeps me laughing so much my heart rate be 104 or higher they also keep me excited to come back ?????? I love going to parachute in Corsicana tx

When my husband and I come in we're always treated by Peyton. She always has a smile and happy. She's sweet and a fun person to talk to and while she's doing the vitals, she's a good person to make conversation with. Keep up the good work Peyton

I have been going to parachute for a little over a year now and I must say the staff is very friendly if any problems arise during the donation they promptly attend to it and ensure your health and safety. If anyone is unsure of this place I highly recommend them to everyone.

The whole staff is always kind and friendly. Savannah is a rockstar phlebotomist and is super attentive.

Payton was exceptionally nice and was very attentive and had a personality full of life, also love the tattoos

I always have a good experience here!! Everyone is so nice!! Especially Savannah, Jenny & Kayla!!

Jarvis and his team are always so friendly and make the donation process a breeze. The center staff is always so friendly and quick. For a small town center I would recommend anybody who is looking to save lives and earn some extra $$$

Been coming a little over a month and Payton is AWESOME. Such a great energetic, and nice person. Very informative and answers all questions!

Peyton and Christian are the nicest and most helpful every visit. They both make you feel welcome and attended to.

Peyton makes you wanna come back she is always smiling and was very helpful when I had no phone to call customer service and set my appointment....thanks Peyton you rock

Marvinette, Chanel, Angelo, Christian and savanna are great and have been making donations easy and quick great greetings and funny ppl

I've been coming here for about a year and it's always a great experience with quick service and a friendly amazing staff. In the middle of an appointment and figured to give this place its props also a big shoutout to Jarvis for his professionalism always delivering a smooth, safe and reassuring experience with starting up your donation and finishing it up. Great vibes, easy donations come by if you ever thought about giving it a try

Nice clean facility!! Ask for Savanna when it comes to getting the vein with no complications on the first shot every time!

It was fine. It took a really long time to get situated, but Kaila was social and professional.

I've been donating plasma here for over a year. The staff is absolutely wonderful and vary helpful. They go above and beyond to make sure they answer any and all questions you may have about the donation process. I really appreciate Jarvis making jokes and engaging with everyone.

Great experience every time I've been to the facility. Its very clean and the staff is very professional; Peyton is always very kind and helpful!

Staff is affable and sociable. Payton is nice, friendly and efficient with helping through checking you in at the front. :)

Great service and I like how kind n nice Savannah is

Always a pleasant experience everytime I go with quick and smooth service. The staff is pleasant and friendly, shoutout to one of the best employees Mckenzie doing an A1 job out on floor ????. If your interested in going I recommend you to come along for the ride, definitely worth the trip.

The entire experience is easy and enjoyable. Peyton is very nice and makes the check in process quick and simple!

The first session is pretty long but the app warns you about that before you get there. The staff is so friendly and professional. Very clean. And they get in you and out and quickly as they can. Wish the base pay was a little higher since I drive from Ennis but I will keep coming back for the staff.

Savannah was very polite and helpful, staff were very accommodating

Savannah is great. She's very attentive

This place is not good they make reasons and lie about donors.They rude and try to make the donor feel like they are wrong I would not recommend this place to anyone

I personally love parachute plasma, very professional, great people my personal favorites are Christian and Jarvis and shanoah they are very professional ,nice and very good at what they do they stick my arm and doesn't even hurt...so if yall wanna save a life while getting paid for it go on up there,and tell them Tammara sent you ??????

Very nice, and clean place, Savannah did amazing.

Great experience well kept great employees Savannah Jenny Christian

Corsicana I had a good day today I got stuck by one of the Best Marvinette The Boss

Everytime I go and Christian is there he is very nice and does his work professionally.

I have to recognize a great employee who has been more than a great help and great hospitality his name is Jarvis and appreciate him so much thank you for your time.

Peyton was very energetic. Christian always finds the vein!

Everyone there has been kind and attentive with a clean environment. I've been 3 times so far and I'm satisfied. ??

Knowledgeable staff. Friendly. Professional. Like any medical lab facility the staff is overworked and under paid. You can thank the central banks for that.

It cool depending on who stick you. Some make it painless and some not so much.

I had a very good visit everything went well

She got right too me savannah is awesome

I have visited this facility almost ten times, and I appreciate the staff who keep on the patient's condition at all times Christian is one of the staff members I feel most comfortable with, and he makes sure my vitals are good. During the screening, Christian explains the numbers to me, and he makes sure I have the right range. I really appreciate how helpful he is. He let me know so I can know what to expect on my next visit And boy I didn't know I had an iron deficiency problem ?. That explain why I?

Only 30$ per donation please! I had to download the app just to know how much they pay new donors. Yes you get a little 25 bucks for your first donation as a bonus but then what just 30$ every donation Rather just drive back and forth to Dallas and get 100 every donation for the entire month. I really wished they paid more since I live in Rice

Savanna Is very fast nice and professional Thanks for the great experience

Lady doing check in was trying to do two at a time waited twenty minutes in the chair to be hooked up. They were not going in order ,who came first. I finally just left. Didnt get to donate. Wish there was another place closer to me.

I have donated several times. Each time has taken several hours. No biggie really except pay is way too low. I had to quit going because they want to only pay around 30 for each donation. I'll almost spend more in gas. Wish they paid closer to what other places pay??

Savannah always gives the best service!

Service is sincere and staff is friendly . Flat pay wish was higher but perks help when ontime appointments and pre booking using app , no walk-ins so had to use phone and kiosk

The place is great staffing are extra friendly, and only takes a couple of visits for them to know you by name. The inside is always super clean.

They are good at they job especially Savannah

Pretty good experience Kaila is chill and professional.

Drove 45 minutes to donate only to be turned away because I had my 12yo daughter with me. Nowhere on the website or app does it say no one under 18yo in the building. The only thing it says is that you have to be at least 18 to donate. Parachute you need to update your website.

The place is clean, I always enjoy coming thru and Peyton saying welcome to parachute

extremely unprofessional !! and the ladies at the front were extremely rude. i went in as a first donor and waited for 2 hours just to keep getting skipped over . it was a couple people in there that went in for the same thing as me and they got treated before me . as i kept seeing it happen i eventually got up and left !

Spent more in gas getting there than I have gotten paid?? I have been I think 6 times but only 2 payments and yes, everytime I have been there 3 hours or longer. I think I'm done. Staff is nice.

Every time I come in savanna helps me wonderfully

Had a family member try to donate first time and had an honest mess up about the rules. The next time about a week and a half later they go back and had another honest mistake about the rules. They dont care, they permanently deferred them and they now cannot go back to donate even though it was an honest mistake. My advice to customers of this facility is to make sure your on your Ps and Qs or else they'll give you a hard time. My advice to the facility is if an honest mistake occurs, yall should just defe

Absolutely my most favorite place to give plasma! Everyone is super wonderful and relaxing environment ?? always coming back

Great people. Nice place.

Everytime you go to this place it's an hour just to get hooked up to the machine. You waste a lot of time for little return.

Hands down one of the friendliest establishments you will ever come to. I recommend anyone to come in!

It was easy and quick to donate and the employees were. So friendly

Savannah excellent sticker hit the vein perfectly

All the staff did here on my last visit was complain about how poorly this place was managed. They can't keep techs here so they are constantly pulling from other locations. The last 3 times I went I did not have very good experiences. I will not be going back.

Great place. Friendly staff

Jenny and kaila did a great job.

Kaila is very nice.Everyone is friendly

This place is great. Savannah is awesome!

The initial finger poke never hurts, Peyton does a fantastic job.

Chanona did a great job!

I love this plasma donation center! The staff are all incredibly friendly, and they really do get you in and out as fast as they can without rushing through the procedure. I plan to donate twice a week for as long as I can!

Too many people and not enough donation beds, first couple times was great. In and out really quick. Now 3 hour plus wait. Not worth my time.

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.
