I noticed when I first started going back here that there were few few donors and I wondered why it was so easy to get an appointment 5 minutes from the time you walked in the door but I found out why. Every time that I've gone in the last few weeks whoever has stuck me has done it wrong and they've had to dig in my arm with the needle in there to finally let me finish my donation. I've ended up with massive bruises on my arms but this time they ended up having to restick the other arm bruising it just as m
Jasmine,Jordan and jakayla. Have been wonderful and always nice never playing about there regulars.
Had to create a new review because for some reason it wouldn't update my last one. This place has been going downhill since I've been coming. The pay has gone down, the staff has gotten hostile and ill trained (they'll disconnect the line without clamping the line so you free bleed into the machine for no reason), the cleanliness has become a joke( no soap in the men's bathroom for 6+ months, pools of blood on the donor chairs multiple times now), and hopefully your privacy means nothing to you because whil
Better than the rest in Shreveport but could they please communicate to us with words? Inform us of what's going on and maybe even periodically check on us while pumping? I've had to learn everything by error, then they'll tell you if you do something wrong. Also, look for random charges to your cards! How is it possible to have a negative balance?
They have a really great staff!! There are quite a few of them that are happy, friendly and most of all they have a pleasant personality. There's several days in a week that all of them (the pleasant ones)are working on the same shift and it makes going to donate so much fun. They get their work done while at the same time showing their wonderful Customer Service skills by making me, my husband and my daughter feel so at home!! I wish they could work together all the time because there has been 2 times we'v
The fact that the staff so frequently threatens deferment is absolutely sad when their goal is supposed to be keeping donors. Staff is inconsistent with standards or rules set so when a donor doesn't follow those guidelines they should recognize that falls back on their staff not continuously implementing those .
Best staff around quick service and it's such a good feeling knowing you are helping by donating
Used to be the best now the front desk is rude no people skills. All the good technicians are still good but the new ones need to go train again or do something else. Find a schedule and stick to it please. If this is your establishment get it together.
I have used this place for months with decent results but their attention to detail with newer employees is mind blowing. Could have gone into shock because they didn't check the cable connections while I was pumping away and so I was draining blood all over the floor. Got punished for their medical negligence by being deferred for two months and they get let off the hook just like that. No payout and absolutely disgusting lack of care and or control of their area. This is after the fact they poked me the f
I donated plasma in this center over a year. I had to move and that is why I am stopping. Every time all the staff was really friendly and they actually care about the people. More than one time I did not feel well and they always helped me and care about me. I will remember all the nurses for their incredible job. Thank you for everything you do.
So rude and unprofessional. Avoid, go to BioLife.
The money is the only reason they get 2 stars. I've interacted with approximately 15 of their staff during 4 visits only had positive interactions with 2. One proceeded to aggressively hush me like a common child as I inquired about MY OWN information, which I'd like to point out we are FREQUENTLY reminded to ask questions if we have any. They aren't interested in anything other than breaks and getting off, the nurses are the only ones who seem to care and I had the single worst encounter with one possible
Despite all the negativity on these reviews, these people are really good down to earth people. The flibs do their best at getting you up and down. I'm definitely a fan and friend of most of the staff. I've been dealing with them for several years on and off and it's always been a really good environment. Would recommend this center to anyone, and congratulations to my friend Sympathy McNeil for her promotion.
The staff is friendly and the place is always clean. They get you in and out quickly. You get to help people while also making a little pocket change so it's a win-win!
My daughter, niece & I started donating a month ago when we found out how plasma helps those with hemophilia. It is a condition within our family. We have uncles & male cousins who are hemophiliacs. While donating today the phlebotomist stuck me incorrectly. It burned & kept reading ?no flow?. She insinuated my vein caught the needle wrong instead of admitting to messing up. She asked to re-stick my other arm but I declined and decided to leave due to the pain. My arm is swollen. My vein is bulging like a b
They have always been nice and respectful towards me! They have their bad days but its truly a awesome place.
Everyone was very helpful and very nice
The facility is clean and the people get the job done. They are quick to respond to any issue and are diligent about making sure you're ok. It's nice knowing they are looking out for you during the donation process.
Of the few places I have donated, this center is one of the best. They keep the traffic of donors moving relatively quick. Staff is always kind and helpful. Here lately it seems they have been closed. Not sure if the storm has affected them. I'd like to know. Want to keep donating there regularly.
More and more often my visits are painful, few people here know how to stick someone with little/no pain and it shows. The woman who just stuck me didn't pull down on my skin to make it taut and the needle she just rammed into my arm..I've been coming here for a little over a year but it seems to be on a continuous decline.
I picked up a family member and bring them there twice a week I guess it's okay though they keep changing the times and then don't tell nobody they have other issues with people that donate not cool I would advise staying on top of how much they're giving its time how many times you can go there rules on going excetera
This place use to be very professional and the staff use to be so nice but now they have so many new and rude people. I have been coming here for over 5 years and this place use to be so much better when the old staff was there like Ginnie, Shocka, Felicia, the guy Ron or Ronald, Raneshia in the back oh yeah and the two black nurse Debbie and Natasha or Latasha..
Very clean. Extremely professional. I absolutely recommend Griffin in Shreveport.
Technicians are fast and friendly. They are great at getting the needle set the first time. The facility is clean and cold even in the summer!
Every time I come into this place it's a blast! The staff is always in a good mood and make you feel like family. Would highly recommend anyone to go here n help a life out!
the website directs you to contact local center for additional compensation questions however when i called the lady said they didn't provide this over the phone due to competitors, lol as if that's top secret. FYI you're not in a for profit business it's a matter of bringing in donors to help save lives. You really need to educate your staff on phone etiquette! This pretty much sent me to your ?so called competitors? lol since it's obvious what I would be dealing with in person plus the other negative re
I have nothing but great things to say about this place. When you come in they get you in and out with no problem. And I love the staff.
The ladies who set you up to the machine are very rude and rough! I've only seen them be nice to black males but anyone else pretty much gets attitude from these ladies! Not to mention the lady poked me very awkward took someone else to fix the needle! I sat there in pain with the blood pressure cuff suffocating my arm for 15mins until my hands got numb with pain! I asked them to fix it and they took their time walking over to me as soon as the needle was fixed my plasma instantly came down and I was releas
3 months straight, now, the payments are at a BARE minimum. NO bonus, whatsoever and only $120 per week. If you have no car and have to pay gas money, it's hardly worth the time and effort. Half of my donation money which I use to supplement my income to pay bills goes to gas.
Let's just this is not a situation you rate on your feeling but on your body, information, values, and ethics!
They were very rude and judgemental. My sister was having trouble with the paperwork. And they really got defensive and nasty with her. It sent her ulcer off and we almost lost her because of it. Plus they don't pay out jack.
My first time I experienced VERY rude associates that seems more concerned about getting off work than doing their job. I wasn't able to donate because it ?would take too long?. I'm very disappointed and sadly will look for a new facility.
I have been coming to Telacris for several years, and I have always had pleasant donations each and every time. Brooke,Bonita,Carla, Sympathy,and Ke-Ke are employees that you wouldn't find at any other facility.They go above and beyond,thank you ladies so much
TPR Shreveport is a great donation facility. They are very efficient in their process to get clients in and out as quickly as possible. The staff is friendly and helpful. Being able to help patients who need plasma medication and make a little money is great. I would recommend TPR Shreveport if you are interested in donating.
I have had a great experience every time here. Friendly and hard working staff while making you feel at home! 10/10!
Some of the women there have a rude attitude with poor customer service skills. Yall need to have better people skills
This place WAS a great place to donate. Now I will say... NEVER TRUST THIS PLACE! I was banned from this place because I didn't list the medication I was on. (NOTE: ALL the medication I am on is approved by telicris Plasma. ) A staff member did not like the fact that she was NOT told of my medication so she banned me from ever coming back. I dont understand how someone like me, taking medication that is approved by Telicris, would be banned from their facility for absolutely no good reasons except for some
Excellent for donation process. Everyone who work here have a great personality and will assist you well throughout your process. And plus you'll feel great about giving plasma to people who need it. Save a Life !
Staff is wonderful. No long waits. Get to earn extra money while helpingg to save others.
Everywhere you can find, even according to the staff, the process takes up to 2 hours. So why did they have my sister waiting here for almost 4 hours? No reason for it to take 3 hours for paperwork and a drug test. Completely absurd, especially for people who rely on others for transportation. Had my sister damn near an anxiety attack over the time frame. Just inconsiderate.
I always have a great time donating here. The staff are very helpful and accommodating. They do everything they can to make sure you have a good experience.
This place is lousy...they refuse to get their fax machine fixed & that ancient technology is the only way that they will accept medical records....so if you need a medical clearance from your doctor, don't bother with them...Pelican pays better anyway...
Knowledgeable and professional staff while providing great customer service.
I have donated at a couple of centers. Honestly Talecris plasma center is the greatest! Everyone one that's employed there are very nice people & also there are many beautiful women working here... I had to say that??.
Put me on the deferred list lied and said I have hep C..I have paper work and tests proven this is false ...now cannot donate nowhere in america because of the mistake they made....but I will be talking to my lawyer im suing for doc
?This is an awesome place!? It's filled with love! It gives you a peace of mind when knowing you going up against a needle! The staff is kind and professional!
I called ahead, asked how long it would take, they told me 2 hours. Well after 4 hours, I left. I dont think they should let previous doners continually skip in front of new people the entire time you are there.
The staff is always so friendly. I love Mrs. Bonita she's so nice and has so much energy.
Very nice place
Nice place first couple times I went every thing was good.but this time I went a hour and half be for thay closed that where really rood two me and when I was done that just riped the needle out really bruseing my arm so bad that a couple days later when I went back thay had two use my other arm may 9th this day that seemed really racist a genst me and I am white and thay should have paid me $75 bucks at the least $50 but that only gave me $40 on my card that was not the deal I would have not doenated or ev
This is the best center I have been too. Very clean and workers are so respectful. Love this place?.
Slow, rude staff. Everytime I go no matter the time it takes up to 3 hours and the staff doesn't even try to move faster they just talk. Don't go.
The staff members are very friendly and they get you in and get you out the place is clean and the new machines they have are way better than the old ones.
Office makes you use the app and the app doesn't work. Actively turning away donors because the office is lazy.
Staff lies to your face. I was told I could renew my physical on Sunday but when I showed up at 8 am the nurse said "I dont have time for renewals and turned me away". Complete waste of time
I missed my day due to my conflicting work schedule so I went the next day, but now I can't switch my day back because it's all of a sudden locked in. This is rediculous! I'm DONATING PLASMA, but your schedule is more important than my job? People's days off change but your donation day can't fluxuate. Garbage
Wasted a whole lot of time at this place. Had to go two days because of problems on their end...second day, lady was rude to me - no communication .. I asked to speak with someone else, and was told to go wait - after already wasting over 4 hours there. I left.
The employees are very friendly and personable. I enjoy coming here because I enjoy the company and I get a chance to make new friends.
These people told me i could never come back if i transfer back to TX for when i lived in west Texas so when I moved back to Shreveport, I just started going to Kedplasma on Mansfield. These people are unprofessional and got an attitude with me about it, and spited me by transferring me randomly to a Talecris in Oregon, which wasted an hour of my day trying to get another Talecris center to get me transferred back to TX.
Love the staff. The facility is always clean. The techs are very knowledgeable m. I al8feel safe
Bunch of idiots, degenerates, and illiterate people that work here. Told them to CANCEL the transfer from another facility to Shreveport and they said they would. They never did so I was xferred to Shreveport. When I got back to my other facility, they transferred me to Portland, Oregon instead of the Texas center that asked them to transfer to TEXAS NOT OREGON, which i Have never even been to Oregon. They probably did it out of retaliation because they were very rude to me for no reason when I came in a fe
I really like how friendly the staff is and how it seems like it's more than just a job. They genuinely care.

Love the Shreveport location because they are very efficient and knowledgeable and friendly. I always have a good and quick time when I donate plasma and love the fact that I'm helping save lives!
Went there for first time was very uncomfortable with the information so my doctor advised me that the meds I was on that donating would not be healthy me so since no service was provided I ask the staff for my information back was told they keep it on file way was my ? Lots of head snapping an unpleasant gestures then call supervisor she was no better give number to complaints dept.spoke with someone the next day numbers disconnected ?? something not right why do you need all may personal information if no
Great, I love donating here best experience every time! Nothing to complain about great employees always making me laugh I actually enjoy donating.
Terrible. Just slow and the nurses just walking around talking, never doing their job. They aren't sanitary. They uncapped a needle and put in the little box of hazardous before its thrown in, takes it out and wanted to stick the needle in me. Never coming here again.
Plan to deal with a 75% rude and unprofessional staff and plan on waiting for hours. Arrived at 9:00 am and still waiting at 2:30 pm. Totally unprofessional. Would not recommend.
I have never had a dull moment here. The whole staff is friendly and professional, and I take pride in being a donor.
I like donating here because they are quick and fast. It's never a long wait for your name to be called and the staff is very nice.
It's clean and some special ladies make it better then most places, de de , bontina, ginger , sympathy, and Alexis

Love the people that work there. They are a pleasure to be around. Talk you through everything and don't leave you in the dark.

Very slow moving, lazy crew, bad management, they eat more than they work, there will be a full house and mangement will not open another side, mostly bc of lazy crew members and a lack of respect for management
Great experience every time I go. Management is very positive and involved.
Everyone is respectful and knows what they're doing. It's also a great way to help people who need medicine
Workers are great and everyone is very nice and helpful. Great place to get a little extra cash
They are very professional, friendly and care about all the donors. I would def recommend this place to anyone
It was a pleasure to be introduced to Talecris,i enjoythe staff they all have coagulant personalizes....my time is always the same,so I set aside 2hrs of my time to save someone else's life... donating is not for everyone!!!if you don't have time then it's not for you!
I have been donating Plasma for sometime now. And this is the 3rd state I have donated in, this facility has a friendly staff and is very clean. Some places u are there for several hrs. Not here in and out..
Very friendly and helpful and the staff is great. I donate to help save the lives of others.
Friendly staff but ridiculous rules. Can't stand up! Only other thing is that instead of asking you to do something they tell you you have to do something which is a lil rude.
Very good staff and helpful fast experience to get you in and out
I have a great experience with them,and the benefits are good, anyone in need and, able give them a try.
Horrible customer service.. all they do is look for reasons not to let you donate..Avoid this place !! Girl's at front desk,give African Americans a bad name,very ghetto
This place has treated me with respect and has always been very fast and sufficient with their work
Love going there honestly employees are very nice and respectful and helpful to there customers
Always a pleasant visit. Staff is friendly, skilled, and efficient. Pay is better than other plasma centers.
It's very nice nd clean place but they really do need to tell these people to cover there mouth when they coughing cause nobody ain't trying to catch what they have or y'all need to put up a sign saying cover your mouth when coughing
I love donating here. Every one is friendly and process is quick and easy.
