    Went to VGs donuts and saw mobile SD Blood bank. I thought why not so I walked in and signed up. They completely busted my vein and we had to abort the attempt. My arm is black and blue! 2 stars because the staff was nice & professional but clearly not experts at drawing blood. Gonna stick to the Red Cross. So disappointing

    Donated every 8 weeks here in past couple years. Never had any issue and usually it takes less than 30 mins for me to give whole blood. People working here are always nice and professional.
