I donate approximately twice a month. I recognize the importance of donating Platelets but the Staff is the reason why I look forward to each donation.They are always on time, professional yet accommodating and entertaining.Everett road, Albany Redcross is second to none.

God bless them for what they do.I passed out once, though. I feel like I probably needed the Fig Newtons BEFORE I gave blood, not after.

Personable staff. Waited a bit even though I was a Sunday morning donation appointment when it’s generally quiet. Regardless always a much better experience than blood drives and worth the drive to Albany.

Albany Red Cross, Everett Road, was one if the best donation experience Ive ever had. The complete process, staff, obvious attention to detail was very pleasant.

I love the red cross and their workers. They always make me feel at ease. I always have a great experience while donating. I only wish I could donate more often. Everybody who can should donate at least once. Blood and blood products are always needed.

The Staff are great and the environment is very welcoming. I dont like needles but my visit was comfortable. First time enrolling and the process was fast if you meet everything thats ask. Looking forward to my next visit.

Always a pleasure to donate. The best staff. Kind, compassionate, attentive, and professional. Thank you for problem free donation experience.

The aids are extremely friendly and courteous. I never have a bad experience whenever I donate. If you are a new dohner, I would highly suggest using this site as your first donation experience.

Great personable staff. Very clean. Have been coming here to make platelet donations for years. They also do whole blood donations and offer a variety of classes.

Edited because it contrasts so much with other reviews. Maybe they were having a bad day. But they accused me of making a same-day appointment which is somehow offensive to them... And by the way I made the appointment days in advance. They didnt use my rapid pass and I had to re-fill out all the information. I didnt even get started in the chair until an hour after my appointment. Then they blew my vein on the right hand side and couldnt go any further. The nurse took my movie away and insisted I watch her favorite movie without asking me. They just werent very good. Bad day I suppose. If you want to help and contribute to the world, go somewhere else. Period.

Awesome staff. They make you feel special by remembering details about last visit.

One stop blood donation center. I encourage everyone who can, to please give.as this is a prime season for increased need. All types

I am fairly overweight, and its just difficult to find my veins. Ive been to other locations and the phlebotomists have always had a hard time getting to my blood. And for those that have had similar difficulty, you know that it can hurt, and be generally unpleasant. But, Paula at this Everett Road location, is now the only person I go to. She finds it just fine, and is just a personable and professional person besides. Thank you Paula, for making my unpleasant experience so much easier. Glad to help save lives!

This is a great blood donation center! They specialize in platelets and plasma, but also accept whole blood donations. For platelets and plasma, they have tvs set up and dvds you can watch, while youre waiting for your donation to finish. Helpful, friendly staff, and a large, clean environment in a central location. Definitely recommended!

Its Always Nice Giving Your Donation For Better Cause & So what if they give snack #AmericanRedCross 🏣#Munchie and Crunches🍪🍧

Since this is a permanent Red Cross office, instead of a mobile blood donation setup, everything was slightly more substantial and comfortable.

Nurses were very nice. Great snacks at the end!

Fast and efficient. I was out in 45 minutes. Friendly staff

Large facility near Albany NY. This facility takes platelets, plasma, power red and whole blood. Quite efficient and friendly.

The staff is always courteous, professional and friendly!🏥🏥🏥

Always happy to donate, they do a great job

Great people. Great cause.

Unprofessional and incompetent workers.Avoid this place! Donate at almost any hospital or blood bank instead.
