Octapharma Arvostelua 

The lines are way to long some of the people who work there they take their time like even when they are just sitting around and just talking they are rude when you ask questions

I’m a returning donor and have always complied with every request from the center — whether it’s updating my vaccine records or providing a current list of medications. This past Monday, I visited the center and was given forms to have completed by my doctor. His medical assistant confirmed that they were sent over the following day (Tuesday).

Since then, I’ve heard absolutely nothing from the center. No updates. No confirmation about whether I can return to donate. I took the initiative to call the main number this morning and spoke to ChrisAnn. After waiting on hold for 2 minutes, she came back and said she couldn’t get in touch with the local office — and then told me to “call back in 30 minutes.”

This is absolutely absurd. The lack of communication and customer service at Octapharma is unacceptable. It's shocking that they don’t have a direct line or dedicated staff to handle communication between their own call center and donation centers.

I’m posting this review not just to vent, but because I know Octapharma does monitor their online reviews — yet, despite that, nothing seems to change. The people who take the time to donate and help save lives deserve much better than this. We are not just a number.

What is wrong with this company? They used to hire great, friendly, caring staff member now they do what they want when they want with no regard to how you feel. Visalia CA is the worst I have been to. Everytime its something else. This time I asked her to put the needle in the same spot as last time like ive been doing for years. She agreed and then went above it which I told her specifically not to do. Her coworker said "oh well maybe she didnt feel comfortable so she doesn't have to". That was rude and if she doesnt feel comfortable get someone else or a new job.

I have been other places and this has been the best of three. The stick has been the easiest here. I have had my arm hurt for 3 or 4 days. I am so glad that my friend recommended this place to me. Thanks octapharma. Robert

My closest center is in N. Fort Myers, FL (#114 I think?) and they are EXCELLENT! The place is always spotless, the staff is warm and caring and fun! Proper procedures are followed, and they're always working to improve - like cross-training all employees so that they can float to different areas to respond to higher demand, thus reducing bottlenecks and wait times. It's just a fun experience. I've been donating nearly 2x weekly since November of 2023, so more than 100 donations.

The last few times me and my grandma went we both had a reaction and the staff were very rude and told us we need to change our diet and we always eat healthy before we go we will never be back here highly unprofessional!

It is a great place to donate they are always done in a timely manner they always make sure to look out for my safety even if it is something that I don't agree like for instance from sleeping while I'm donating knowing that I shouldn't be sleeping they make sure to always remind me to wake up and that is for my benefit and my benefit only is a great place to donate.

I donate at one of the San Antonio locations and for the most part I've always had a good experience. The staff is friendly and try to make the entire process as enjoyable as possible.

It so sad how corporations and companies get away with discrimination and treating protected ADA consumer like trash. It's been 3day from my incident and nothing not even a call or message
Sad how there are managers like marina and the whole floor could be so disrespectful and discriminating on me for being me. And how hard it is to get ahold of anyone at corporate. Now I think how some of those people who go back and take matters into there own hands feel like cause there's nothing and no one doing anything about it. I went back and spoke to the other manager and Albert tells me i can't donate there anymore. And me in other hands can't afford a lawyer so like I said nothing well be done cause it's always the same for us Hispanics cause there's never enough resources when it comes to us

I have been donating for a few years. Whenever Samuel R. at the Tampa location sticks me, he never asks if I'm allergic to iodine, he never asks me my name and DOB. Then when he disconnects me, he doesn't ask me if I'm allergic to adhesives and he doesn't tell me how much I get paid or my next donation date. He is the only one who doesn't do any of that. I know the employees are required to do it, because everyone else does those things. It's as if he thinks he doesn't have to because he has been there for a long time.

Sometimes there is up to 35-40 minute wait to get hooked up, but Twana at North Fort Myers,FL location is SUPERB! w/ difficult veins and her spot on needle placement is what makes the wait worth while. Thank You! Twana
