Customer Reviews

I've been coming here for a while and usually things go smooth ? the staff are cool, the place is clean, and I treat this like a side hustle. But my last visit? Total mess. It took over 2 hours because they were training new people on how to stick. One guy next to me got poked like 4 times and had to leave. When it was my turn, they tried my left arm, but couldn't get the plasma to flow. So they had to switch to my other arm. They got it that time, but left me with a massive bruise. Because of that bruise

I love this place. Not only do they pay you but they have the friendliest staff. Megan, Ethan, Lillian, Linda, Tessa, Dylan, and every other member is just fantastic and so helpful. Every time I come in I can expect them to remember my name, have conversations with all of them and leave with a little bit of monetary to smooth things over haha. If you want to make some money on the side and don't mind a friendly group of people stealing your plasma then this is the place to go!

Grifolfs is a great place to donate plasma! The staff are super friendly and make you feel comfortable. Tessa did an excellent job speeding up my physical so that I could get to donating.

The staff is very friendly and welcoming! Super clean facility.

Phenomenal Employees! Speedy & extremely Caring & Helpful! Employee?s definitely Bust there behinds with out stopping . Highly recommended the Bozeman Location.

Such a great experience! First time ever donating anything, the staff was super friendly and helpful. Everyone was great with answering questions and making me feel comfortable. They explained the process very well and made sure I understood and felt comfortable before continuing. Really great experience and definitely coming back!

I've always had such a great experience here! Whitney and Evan are great, as is the rest of the staff. They do a great job at keeping you comfortable and relaxed throughout the process. Always a great time donating with them.

I have had a fantastic experience at Grifols (Biomat) Donation Center. The facility is clean and well-organized, creating a comfortable environment for donors.

I also liked the clear information provided about the donation and its impact. Overall, I highly recommend this center to anyone looking to donate plasma. Their dedication to both the donors and recipients is truly com

Love the staff. All are so kind and fun to chat with. Comfy environment.Painless sticks. Always clean. Been donating for a bit over a year now and have rarely had a bad experience.

Even short handed and running with their hair on Fire?. The Bio Mat / Bozeman staff are always professional and always ensure the health and safety of me and my family members who are fortunate enough to be able to donate at this facility. It is nice to get to know everyone here by first name (Linda, Charlotte, Emma, Jen, Tess, Evan, Maddie) and feel welcome and personable when we walk through the door. Thank you all of you Guys! I always look forward to seeing you all twice a week.

Staff is awesome! Evan stuck me just now flawlessly, didn't feel a thing. The extra $110 a week goes a long way with Bozeman cost of living and I get the satisfaction of knowing I'm helping save lives. 5 star experience

Linda is absolutely the best! Great tech. Hits the vein first time every time. No pain! The lab is clean, the staff is always friendly and courteous. Get paid to help others.

Everyone here is so nice! Very quick and efficient staff. Whenever Evan puts the needle in, I never feel it. It's a great team they have.

BEST PLASMA CENTER EVER!!! Honestly they always make me feel so at home I really would like to point out Dylan, Molly,Lael, and Linda. They are the sweetest staff I've ever met!

Very professional, clean, knowledgeable staff. Always attentive to their patients and treat them well. There is no sense of fear whatsoever because the staff is so friendly they take your mind off of the process and make sure it is a pleasant experience. Thanks to all the staff, keep up the awesome work and making it easy to save lives.

They do their best to make the process smooth and easy. So great to know you are doing something to help others and also getting a little reward.

Everyone is super friendly and they make my entire experience completely painless! Very professional, clean, knowledgeable staff. Thanks to all the staff, keep up the awesome work and making it easy to save lives.

Absolutely wonderful staff and environment. I've been almost consistently donating 2x a week for almost 2 years now, and I've come in feeling down from work, life, or whatever, and always leave happy (and not just from the added cash :3). The staff has an incredible knack for being genuinely friendly and helpful; rare for any business this day and age, let alone a medically inclined one. Each phlebotomist is incredibly precise and attentive, always making sure you're doing good and answering any questions y

Reliable, knowledgeable staff. The few problems that have arisen are immediately addressed and fixed without delay. Been donating weekly for 1.5 years, love this center.

This has been a great solution for paying my son?s medical bills. I'm rarely there for more than an hour, and the staff is exceptional! They are always professional, have a sense of humor, and are genuinely friendly. A+ to whoever does the hiring here!

Second time here? staff has been amazing, and kind. They make this entire experience fun! Everyone person I've interacted with has been incredibly personable. My initial visit was a bit longer than expected but they handled the entire day in stride. Looking forward to coming here for a long time :)

I was really unsure of this process at first, but as a scientist, was totally intrigued. The staff here are fun, so nice, and wonderful to spend your time with. They make the process easy and enjoyable. Highly recommend for anyone who is interested in this process, helping others, and gaining a small amount of supplementary income!

Wow! Linda has got to be the most friendly and professional phlebotomist! Definitely needs a raise! I look forward to letting her poke me every time

I love Grifols!! I have been donating plasma here for around five months! I love this place and the staff is incredible, very friendly, and extremely accommodating! Highly recommend this donation center!! P.S. Evan is awesome, top notch phlebotomist!! :)

I've donated three times so far and I've had an excellent experience! Compared to previous plasma donation experience, I've found that Grifols does things better. The process goes more quickly, the staff are more personable, and the plasmapheresis floor is more warm and cozy. Mari has been great at getting me started and making the process as comfortable as possible. I intend to keep donating here! No resticks yet! ????

Whitney always checks me in and she is an absolute angel that never fails to make me smile. Mari on the floor is also a rockstar and she is so friendly and makes everyone feel at ease about the whole process. I'm in and out in an hour and leave knowing I've made a positive impact! Great team

I've always had a great experience donating plasma. The staff is amazing at what they do!It's not a complicated or unpleasant process. To me, it feels wonderful knowing I'm donating to people who rely on plasma and getting compensated too.

Woman with a tattoo sleeve, pink gauges, and light red hair was very rude to her colleague and myself while I was trying to check in. I watched her belittle her coworker for needing help at the computer before clapping her hands at me while loudly condescending about my having had to reschedule a previous appointment. This is already a stressful process to undertake and I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling nervous when I go in. This sort of unprofessionalism discourages people from returning.

Very pleasant staff, I do not like needles but they made the process very easy and were extremely helpful.

Very friendly staff. Answered all of my questions and made me feel very welcome! This was my first donation and it was super fast and easy. I will definitely be going back and I highly recommend this for anyone that wants to make some extra cash

Linda, Linda, Linda. What else can I say others haven't already. You make a wonderful addition to Whitney and all the rest. Congratulations on the prestigious EotM achievement!

This center is professional, staff are kind, efficient and always follow safety and aseptic protocols! Linda is fabulous & delivers great patient care.

Everyone from the moment I walked in the door has been amazing! I felt so well taken cared for and listened to. My first experience ended up being so good thanks to you his fabulous team of professionals!

They've always been delightful and helpful. They make the process as painless and enjoyable as they can. The staff always seems happy to be there. I will continue returning regularly for the foreseeable future

The staff is so awesome here! Everyone is friendly, professional, kind and fun. They are thorough, knowledgeable and personable! There's great care taken at every step in the process.

I live fir the staff here. They are all so great and nice and funny. They always try there best to make you feel welcomed. It's all for a great cause and they have fun music and also they kill it at staying on pace and clean.

Absolutely love donating here! Staff are extremely friendly and make it so easy to donate. Patrick, Bryen, Evan, Austin, Emma, Whitney, Jen, Cherr, and all other staff I just love! I highly recommend.

Good place, good people, highly recommend donating. Helps people live longer Make an appointment

Everyone at Grifols is super friendly and made my donating experience comfortable and a very smooth process. They are very knowledgeable and good at what they do. I am happy to be a donor and recommend it to anyone who is thinking about this process.

Very friendly staff that really cares about what they do. A nice way to support the life of another person while earning some money. Andrea, is definitely our favorite, great sense of humor.

They get so cheap to where it's barely worth your time coming in. They post how much they pay for the month, then change it. I last got a mailer offering me $80 on my next visit, so I made a reservation, and arrived to a notification telling me they were not honoring the mailers. I immediately walked out. Thanks for wasting my time.

Super friendly staff. Efficient and professional. Pleasant experience every time!

Friendly, kind, and caring excellent staff. Even through some hiccups and training staff mishaps everyone is very kind and I will continue to donate. Shout out to Lia the best Phlebotomist ever! The facility is very clean and welcoming.

Great place. Pays $110 a week as of September 2024. Always a quick, friendly experience

The friendly and efficient staff make the plasma donation process as pleasant and enjoyable as possible. Charlotte, Linda, and Regan are extremely professional and personable and always do a fantastic job. I look forward to donating to both save lives and visit with the girls of Grifols!

The staff are all very welcoming and friendly. The process is quick and professional. Come here if you want to help people in need(and get paid for it)

Super nice staff, really easy process and was a very comfortable atmosphere.

I used to be a regular donor here, and would happily refer folks over. Until earlier this year, when after a physical I was told that I was disqualified from donating as I had a disease that showed up in my lab results that showed I could not only not donate here, but anywhere else EVER. They sent me out the door with a smile, and I was terrified. I went right to my doctor who ran a full panel. I had NO TRACE of that blood disease currently, nor had I EVER in the past. My doctor was baffled, and I was relie

Super nice staff combined with an efficient system makes you feel like you've only been there for 10 minutes! Real time is about an hour for all except your first (which may take an afternoon, so come prepared).

Smooth intro process that is very thorough. Great staff beginning in the front office through the staff that does the hands on. These modern machines have sped up the process from my last donation in Idaho a decade ago.

I may be one of the most difficult patients because my veins are so tiny and roll easily. This place deserves every star for being so patient and kind with me during the entire experience. I highly recommend donating plasma here.

Continually provides excellent customers service in a clean and stress-free facility. Skilled and friendly staff. I feel welcome, safe, and appreciated every visit.

Amazing staff, courteous, friendly and super attentive. Kudos to Andrea, Whitney, Nicole, Madison and Anna!!! Keep up the amazing work. Thank you for making the experience smooth and seamless!

The staff was so pleasant and attentive. I would highly recommend donating here any day.

I have been going to Grifols plasma donation center for 5 months now. The employees are wonderful and care for you as a person. It is a happy work environment and are very good at their jobs. They have experienced a lot of expansion with more people donating every day and have handled it with grace. All the employees are professional and I trust them with the entire donation process.

Employees are all really sweet and considerate people who make the donation process much more enjoyable. Although they are shortstaffed, everyone does a good job of getting you in and out of the donation center as quick as possible!

I've been donating here for the past 2 years overall it's a great center. They are a little understaffed, makes wait times a little more at times.

I've donated at other centers and this is by far the best. Everyone who works here is so friendly. It's a calm environment but a welcoming one. If you're scared to donate but want to try this is the center to do it at.

Came here the first time last week super nervous. They were extremely helpful and calming, explaining the whole process. Love all the staff.

Good place to earn some extra money while supporting a good cause. Staff is super friendly and does they're best to make sure you are doing alright and are comfortable!

The staff here are amazing and they all did their best to make sure I was comfortable and feeling okay. A very pleasant first experience.

Everyone at the facility is very kind and helpful! I was made to feel welcome as soon as I stepped in. Facility is clean and organized, and they try to make the process as easy to understand d as possible.

Very nice and tentative staff. When I'm donating I feel like I'm in good hands!

This place has been a life saver for me with their donation reimbursement, and all of their staff are kind and conversational.

From day one, I was walked through each step by an amazing and cheerful team! Now I donate 2x a week and I love getting to know all the awesome techs by name. Everyone is still as awesome now as when I first started!

This is the best plasma donation center that I've ever been to. The staff are extremely helpful and welcoming. Definitely come and donate here.

It's a great (dystopian) idea in theory but. I have no idea why this has so many 5-stars. Theyre consistently late, frequently mess up needle insertion, and even lose files. This place is not running efficiently at all. If you go in for an hour appointment, expect to waste one or two just waiting to even get onto the donation floor.

They are always so friendly and helpful. They make donating awesome!

Grifols in Bozeman has some of the friendliest, most accommodating staff I've met. They make the donation process feel safe, and I always trust their knowledge and experience. I've made some of the easiest money here, and I'm happy to know I'm helping people in the process! Thank you guys!

The Awesome staff makes donating fun. This center is very convenient with late and early appointments and an app to schedule and track your appointments. Ultra fast payment.

Very pleasant experience. Staff was wonderful and very friendly. Highly recommend it.

Great staff. Very efficient and pleasant. Bryen does a fantastic job, very professional and personable. A promotion to lead would great.

I love my experiences with going here they are all super kind and patient. Even when problems arise they do their absolute best to solve the problem and make me as comfortable as possible with the situation.

Amazing experiences so far. They're kind and easy going as well as professional! Love the atmosphere.

Staff is very knowledgeable and friendly! Linda always goes above and beyond!

Everyone is super friendly, I get in an out in no time with no complications!

a tantalizing tale summarizing many experiences* I leave my house, glancing back at my two boys (cats) in affirmation that there will be another successful donation in the midst of the day's events as a musician/educator. Upon arriving I try my best to guess which fantastic face will be greeting me at the entry, wondering how it is that they take in more and more donors each day. After signing in, I take my seat and observe the process work like a well-oiled machine, keeping my excitement at bay so that I

This center is clean and new, but unfortunately many of the staff have not been trained on how to be quick, efficient, or helpful. The front staff, med staff, and management are nice. The phlebs are where this center is really lacking. It took me an hour after my appointment time on a return donation to be seated, and much of my time was spent sitting and waiting as the only person in the waiting area. I watched as workers joked around with each other and talked, which is fine for them to be laid back and

After today, I will have 10 donations. The staff is extremely professional and polite, and I look forward to my donations because everyone is very friendly. I highly recommend Grifols to all my friends because it's an easy and fun way to make money.

I have donated plasma and blood before in the past and tried to do it here but they apparently just liked to waste my time because they had me come in and make an appointment. Then I show up the next week for it and they test my veins in under a minute and only one arm is good and then they tell me basically That they can't do it because I need the other arm to have good veins. Something that should have been done when I first walked in instead of wasting my time. And considering I've donated before I didn?

Very nice and knowledgeable staff, they do a great job going over the process and risks with new donors as well as making the experience for returning donors a quick in and out appointment to fit into busy schedules.

Very friendly staff, they make you feel at ease. I Have been donating for almost a year now.. everyone is awesome!

The staff is phenomenal! They are all knowledgeable and so incredibly nice! The best experience!

The employees at Grifols are always so friendly and make my experiences enjoyable! They've always listened when I've had questions and done their best to answer in an efficient manner.

The staff always make me feel right at home here, they're very friendly and I know most of them by name now!

Staff is amazing, super helpful and friendly.

Super friendly personable staff. Kind and caring. The facility is clean and very comfortable. Over all great experience!

Staff is great and really nice. They are always asking how you're doing.
