Parachute - Plasma Donation Center - Griffin, Georgia

I tried to go in as a new patient and the binder for their consent was opened. She pointed to a sentence that mentioned red blood cells and potential deferment. "Tell me what this means, in your own words." I tried several times and she always said 'no' and at one point even accused me of not reading it and another time said I was being 'vague'. I have no idea what she wanted me to say but it was clearly not the right thing. Then I got accused of having anxiety. Well of course I was because you were treating me like a child and giving me absolutely no indication of what I was supposed to say. Finally gave up and left.

Refused to allow my friend [who is my driver] with her service dog into the building so she could get water, staff cancelled my donation mid donation, and said that I am now banned because they refuse my friend entry. Staff also claimed they will never listen to FEDERAL REGULATIONS and that they do not have to follow Federal regulations.

This facility needs a corporate review of their staff, and a federal review of their policies and a serious check on their attitudes.

I had been going to another facility when I decided to try the Griffin Parachute facility. I was pleasantly surprised by how nice and genuine all the staff were. The experience is awesome not clinical as the prior company I used. Always feel comfortable and like I’m amongst friends. This will be the only place I use for donations going forward. Thank you to the wonderful ladies you’re amazing and keep being amazing.

First of all, Most of the staff are very friendly. But for some reason they have a hard time keeping blood flowing through the machine. I have been deferred almost a total of 60 days out of the 150 days I have been going there. And always walk away bruised.

They allow you to schedule for appointments at 6pm just for you to arrive and tell you "We are closed". People who come here need the money that they are donating Plasma for...now we are out of gas and milk for our baby. Thanks a lot. Smh....remove the option to schedule a 6pm, IF, the staff has the liberty to turn people with appointments scheduled away and say "I don't know what to tell you to do, come back tomorrow"...WOW...not good, somewhat unethical as well, definitely inconsiderate and taking advantage and treat disposable people in need.

I have been coming here for a few weeks now and have yet to have a negative interaction. Each staff member has been friendly and welcoming. I've never had to wait for a bed to be available like I've had to at other donation facilities. Also the phlebotomists are skilled at what they do and have consistent, quick and successful sticks. It's a great place to make some extra money due to the enjoyable environment curated by the staff.
