Reviews and Complaints

My name is Pamela Babbs and I referred my neighbor Shakina Gentry. She has already given 4 donations but I did not receive the referral bonus. When I called Biolife Lewisville and told them Shakina said she provide this information to Tyler during the interview. I spoke with several people and was left on hold for 30 minutes. When the supervisor got on the phone she started explaining company procedures. I told her once we provide staff with the information, we do not have control over them entering this information into the system. This supervisor was rude, overtalked me, and became argumenative. I will file a BBB complaint if I don't receive my referral bonus.

This is just a copy paste of my original Google review, so excuse the fact that this is three reviews compounded into one. They refused to ever read it so I kept adding on as more awful experiences occurred. Here they are!

One more review. My other two are still below, obviously never read or given a sh* about in the slightest by BioLife. This review will be short: GO ANYWHERE ELSE. There is not another company that hires such disorganized, confused, and pissed off workers that just treat you like cattle. The doctor that has to verbally you a 5 minute speech, for literal legal reasons, did not say it out loud. She had it recorded on her phone. Where is the privacy in her being on her phone? And why bother putting on your gloves if you're just going to touch your phone and computer which are both covered in your sweat and fecal particles? While she played me this so-called very important speech on her phone, she was looking for trucks on KSL. Do I not matter? Is the office really the place to be doing your personal chores? Just do yourself a favor, don't bother with the idiots here, go LITERALLY anywhere else. They will treat you better, they will respect you more (or AT ALL), and they won't be such a pile of confused freaks running with their heads cut off.

Below is my LAST TWO WONDERFUL REVIEWS. Maybe READ IT BIOLIFE. YOUR RIVERTON LOCATION IS A VERY NEARLY LITERAL GARBAGE FIRE.

Obviously my last review was never seen or read so I'm leaving it down after this one. Just wanted to let everyone know, make absolute sure that you bring headphones. If they're wireless, make sure they are CHARGED to 100%. During my four hour wait today they've decided to play Megan Thee Stallion, Nikki Minaj, Doja Cat, Erica Banks - if that means nothing to you, it's the garbage TikTok music about having a sexy body (body-ody-ody-ody), butts & [censored], N words, tits, twerking, god only knows what else. I'd be fine with it if it was on shuffle, through a variety of music, but GOD D*MN this music is terrible.

Shoutout to the "owner" for responding to EVERYONE else's reviews but never mine. What an absolutely horrible company.

Here's my other review from the past.

When you go in, it's a very easy process usually. The people are great, they treat you with respect. Don't ever think about calling them with a question, though. In the past, I've called and left a message multiple times and have never gotten a response. Today, I had a time-sensitive question. I needed a response today. So I called them, was sent to voicemail after 8 seconds, so I kept calling them. I wanted a response today. Finally they answered and go "Hello, you've been VERY persistent, I was on another call, what do you need?" So I started my question and she cuts me off with "Uh-huh, and?"

This is NOT respectful or caring at all. At the end she had the snarkiest and rudest "Thanks, bye". Thanks guys. Putting *ssholes on the phone is wonderful. Find better people to answer questions on the phone. Literally DON'T send me to voicemail after 8 seconds when I have a TIME-SENSITIVE QUESTION. I am willing to wait a few minutes for a person to talk to, since you refuse to ever call back about any messages I've left.

Hopefully this review even gets read. Obviously my last one didn't.

I was a previous donor in 2015.

I tried to reenroll today 6/11/22. I was permanently disqualified due to mixed info regarding an ear piercing.

I have my ears pierced twice 2 holes in each ear and have since I was 12 years old. The nurse stated it wasn't in my 2015 disclosure (how do I know someone didn't forget to add this 7 years ago) I don't wear earrings in the second hole and never do and haven't tried for years, they are closed. I am confused and shocked at this, treated me like I did something wrong and I did not,this should be changed.

It’s been weeks since I reported a bad review. I reached out to Christopher Kreeger on this incident. And no update was returned on his behalf. Per my previous complaints at this facility he called & emailed me I hoping I would continue coming back to BioLife. The only concern I have that he verbally stated on the call was none of the texts are certified to which indicates no training to insert a needle. Secondly, states that they do not follow OSHA or HIPPA.

The BioLife located in Morrow Ga is awful at customer service. The managements attitude towards not only me but other patients are totally unfair and disgraceful.

This location is misleading and not informative about your next payment. I still had $100 and received $20. There's NO WAY I WOULD DONATE MY PLASMA FOR $20! I DON'T CARE IF I CAME IN ON THE 31ST I STILL SHOULD HAVE OR WAS TOLD I WAS ONLY RECEIVING $20. IM NOT THAT HARD UP FOR $20. SAD ANYWAY that you all would give anyone $20.

I donated plasma on 6/2 everything seemed fine once they poked me with the needle but after the first return I knew something was wrong. It was busy so no one could help me, someone finally came over and I felt like my bicep was going to explode. It was hard and very uncomfortable. He took it out and proceeded to try the other arm but then he said we were done for the night and he got the nurse. She came over and said might be bruising but I’ll be fine, gave me a Gatorade some goldfish and that was it. I went home crying and I’m so much pain. My arm was so swollen. The next day I went in and the nurse was so nonchalant about it and said some bruising was normal and that was it. Over the next couple of days the swelling got worse, the bruising got worse and the pain got worse. On 6/7 I went to the hospital to run some tests and do an ultrasound. Every nurse said they have never seen it this bad

I had to see the nurse for new medication and a bruise so I let him know I was on house arrest cuz I only had so much time and that just led to him asking more questions about my house arrest in finally sent me out to donate and then 5 minutes later he comes and gets me tells me they don't know the policy of somebody that's on house arrest if they can let them donate I talked to the manager they didn't know the policy either kind of think it's a little bit invasion of privacy and there is no reason to not let somebody donate just because they have a GPS so they wasted a half an hour of my time and then let me know that I couldn't donate and invade my privacy

I was going to one plasma donation center but I was dissatisfied because they let some people skip me and once I complained I just stopped going to the facility so I went and started going to BioLife I went and donated plasma one time but when I went back to donate the second time I had issues they made me come in three different times on three different occasions only to tell me I will be permanently deferred because of the understanding that I have went to another facility prior to coming to them if they had to explain the situation to me and we talked about it it could have been resolved without me being deferred because I no longer go to the other plasma center so a permanent deferral I don't think it's justified especially if I didn't understand the rules I never tried to do plasma donation at two different locations because I value my life so for them to permanent defer me without even really discussing the situation with me and getting a better understanding I think was too extreme

Hello, My name is Jill Beaudoin and I have been donating since BioLife opened in Tempe AZ. I had two medical issues they wanted clearance from my doctor. I answered the questions on the form and my doctor looked it over and then signed the form. BioLife permanently deferred me. They said I forged the form. My doctor read the form and he signed it so I disagree with this. I offered to have them call my doctor or I would have my doctor resend the form from the doctors office. I feel if they wanted to punish me then defer me for a period. Deferral for life is ridiculous. I feel like if plasma is needed so bad, you shouldn’t be deferred for frivolous things. Thank You

I went to the BioLife located in Tempe, AZ. and the phlebotomist that did the needle placement for me lodged the needle in too deep causing too much pressure. After the plasma draw was done my arm felt awful and heavy. I have limited mobility in my arm and immense swelling. Contacted them and they plainly told me that they gave me a hematoma. Something truly has to change, specifically the training that the phlebotomist receive. It’s usually a hit or miss when going in because not everyone is good at needle placement.

Initially started donating at the beginning of the pandemic. Stopped due to excessive lines and snotty staff. The blaring rap music didn’t help either. Stopped going for about 10 months, lines were better but staff is still snotty. More worried about making plans than seeing to patients/customers. And God help you if your a women. The young ladies are so blatantly obvious of their rudeness I’ve had to laugh. After yet another snotty encounter on the the phone this morning , I’ve decided to look into other facilities that will perhaps treat people better.

I have 3 complaints about the manager I believe she is the manager I donate plasma on a regular basis o don't have a vehicle so I have to find rides eveytime I go to donate the first complaint is that my ride got detained and couldn't pick me up didn't know until way after the time I was done donating so I sat down in 1 of the chairs to use my phone to find another ride I was informed by the so called lady manager that I was not allowed to sit in a chair that I had to go stand in the entryway no matter how long it took for me to get another ride I cannot stand for a lengthy time my legs start to hurt really bad she did not care she was totally rude and not a nice person the 2nd compliant on the same person and again told me no one could be in the building sitting or standing if they were not donating so once again had to stand in the entryway for my ride there was nobody sitting in the chairs by the doors but was still told even though I have a problem with my legs I couldn't sit the 3rd compliant is about the same person I went to donate yesterday I gave an employee my coupon code so I could get $70 per donation for 8 donations when I got to my ride I checked and I only got paid $20 so I knocked on the door to talk to someone so this could be corrected the nurse with the blonde hair was super nice understood my problem and was trying to fix it when the so called manager came out from somewhere and once again was as rude as she could be told me they I shouldn't have been let back in the building that there was nothing she could do to fix the problem with the $50 I didn't get paid I asked her so do I need to come in tomorrow to get it fixed she said no I was gonna have to be out the $50 and on my next donation would start the coupon I said so I'm out the $50 she said yes that it would start in my next donation I gave the employee the code so I could get the $70 I needed the money to go get groceries and once again she didn't care was rude I asked her for the corporate phone number and she said she didn't have it I told her I know she did and I walked out the door. This person with the dark hair in a ponytail who is supposed to be the manager should not be in that position the blond nurse she was super nice and wonderful I stopped going to BioLife due to that woman idk if I will go back again I did nothing wrong to have her treat me as badly as she did if she doesn't like me that's her problem but people in management are not to treat customers the way she has done. I also feel I was discriminated for being somewhat handicapped
