So I got past my fear of needles and decided to see what this giving blood thing was all about. I've been 3 times now and will keep going back. It really doesn't hurt but for a few seconds. Most of the time they get you in and out pretty quick. Everybody is really friendly and knowledgeable. They understand that your experience there has a lot to do with repeat visits. I did not know my blood type when I started. Turns out I am O- which is a universal donor.
This is review 500 for me and I couldn't think of another business more worthy of it. They do a wonderful job of helping people help others.
