| - I have been to several locations around town, I donate about 4-5 times year. Like when I get a hair cut I just wake up one morning and decide that I want to donate blood, so finding an appointment right away is key.
This location always answers the phone and usually has something available for the time I would like. It is a smaller office, tucked back in the Scottsdale Airpark area near Costco, so most don't know it is there.
The man that greats you when you walk in is always nice and usually remembers my name. I never have to wait too long, but if I do the waiting room is clean and has plenty of reading material to keep me occupied for a few minutes. In comparison to other places that have been messy, unfriendly and creepy at times this one is top notch.
The phlebotomy staff is very nice and understanding and helps to make you as comfortable as possible. Sticking a needle in ones arm isn't the most desirable thing to do, well that all depends on who you are and what is in the needle I guess haha, but for donating blood they are the best at making it easy.
They do several types of blood donation; whole blood (most common), plasma, platelets and red blood cells.
Go donate some blood, it will make you feel better and might save someones life! :-) Think about it!
