Customer Reviews

I had a really great experience during my visit. Everyone on the staff was super friendly and professional, and they made the whole process smooth and comfortable. I especially want to shout out Ethan N.?he was awesome! He took the time to walk me through everything, explained it all clearly, and made sure I felt at ease. The rest of the team was great too?efficient, kind, and welcoming. I definitely plan to come back. The service was top-notch, and I felt like I was in good hands the entire time. Highly re

Kelsey provided excellent care and knowledge throughout my annual physical assessment today. She is always friendly and helpful over all the many times I've come in to donate, and I very much appreciate her professionalism. Keep up the great work! ??

I had such a wonderful experience! On my first visit to Biomat, Aiden assisted me?he was friendly, kind, and incredibly efficient. So far, I've been to Biomat three times, and every visit has been quick and pleasant. I can't recommend this location enough; the staff is truly amazing!

Haven't donated in a while, and I came back for my physical. Ethan was kind and respectful, and got me in and out quickly! Thanks for making this a positive experience!!

Kat was super helpful to me for my first time donating. She took time to explain everything to me and I never felt rushed or pressured. I had a hard time towards the end of my donation and she was there to stop the session, elevate my feet, give me a Gatorade, and an ice pack. She was very understanding of my anxiety with needles and really helped me through the process. She is the definition of what a great healthcare worker looks like :)

This is a great center to donate at! The staff and team are amazing. Come and donate here and you will be treated well and have a fast and efficient donation experience!

The people are great other then this us the 7th time that I've gone home as I choose the closing appointment and they have failed to put in the paperwork to actually pay me. Yes. The 7th time. They say it's automatic but I've literally watched them enter my information after I complained it didn't happen again. It's a repeated issue. Either a process needs to change or im gonna have to go somewhere else. It does get really annoying to have to keep making these calls.

I love donating here and always feel welcome. Today for my physical I had Kat, who was amazing! Made me feel very comfortable and very easy to talk and laugh with. Thank you so much, Kat!

Aiden did an awesome job with my physical, he was very professional, kind and concentrated. He informed me and asked my permission before performing any step of the physical. Thank you Aiden.

Love the service at Grifols! Ethan is very knowledgeable and gets people up and going very quickly. Love donating here!

My first time coming in for A donation in Ogden and my girl KAT treated me so well! She was very kind and we had great conversation the whole time! She took me throughout the whole process and was just all around great. The whole staff was honestly the best and so kind.

Aiden was great, made my physical good and felt comfortable. Thank you.!

A little concerned about my donation today and sure enough there was a few issues. However a needle goddess came to my rescue to adjust the needle. Never have I ever had a better adjustment. Jo you truly are the best!

Amazing and polite and respectful with everything and explaining everything in detail was amazing!! Kyle was polite and very well in formed

Very efficient and friendly staff. Kat mainly helped me out on my first appointment and she was great!

The employees are friendly & knowledgeable. Kelsey does an amazing job on donor intakes & medical questions.

I come usually at night and the wait isn't too bad! I love the free wifi, donor compensation, friendly staff, and especially being able to help those who need plasma to be healthy. Kayden is amazing and I really appreciate his good attitude and up beat personality. Michael is awesome and perfectly stuck my arm quickly and painlessly as possible.

Quick and easy, but I wasn't able to qualify because you have to have BOTH of your arms have viable veins and I only had one. Luckily, they take your blood pressure first thing (before even taking your ID) and so I didn't end up wasting my time. I'll be back on a better day for sure, the staff and facility seemed really nice, I just wish I knew ahead of time that both arms needed accessible veins, and I would have waited an extra week. This also messes up the next 2.5 hours of my day as my schedule was base

Everything went well, and Kelsey treated me respectfully and kindly. All staff were helpful and everything went great.

Just started donating again it's been a couple years and coming to the Ogden location. Really great service !! Kat is extremely helpful and kind and got me through the returning donor process quick!???? 10/10!

I have donated for years and the team here is great! Kat is the best and has helped me with my physicals over the years. Everyone else here is great too and I've had nothing but good experiences.

Everyone was very helpful and informative. Kelsey helped walk me through everything and made my experience very comfortable.

I have a deeply rooted fear of needles, but the staff at this location calmly and comfortingly help you through the plasmaphareses process safely and without issue. There is plenty of time to ask questions as well as back out if you decide that you are unable to donate. Having gone multiple times, I can gladly say that it is a worthwhile thing to do.

I recently switched to the Ogden location from another location because this one is more convenient to me after a move I was worried that the speed and efficiency of the older machines would not be as good as what I was used to at a center that had newer machines but because the staff is very efficient and quick at getting their sticks and disconnects done I am within 5-8 minutes of exactly what I was donating at the other location most of my donations. Kelsey, was so helpful in getting me transferred over

The area is very bright and calm donating gives me time to relax and feel like I am helping all the workers can keep a conversation going in a healthy and calming way the worker Anna gave me the idea of giving a review best idea for me

I been donating here in Ogden for awhile, most of the staff is nice. For the past couple of times the staff is very harsh when taking the needle out of my skin. I have had one staff member stick me twice and both times he has messed up. Yesterday he stuck me wrong and bruised my whole arm. I truly believe that staff members are not trained properly.

She was great and made sure I was comfortable and understood everything that would happen!

You can tell the employees are all working their best to be quick and make things comfortable. When they do run behind which isn't to often, (at least when I go) they are very apologetic. I've had very few issues with my donations, and Evie is always so kind and welcoming! If your thinking of starting plasma donation I would definitely recommend this location.

Had a great first experience Kelsey stuck with me every step of the way. Everyone was very kind.

After calling on the phone to donate again after 3 years of not donating I was told what to bring in . I show up and because I have a tattoo where my vein is they turned me away. Mind you they should discuss this on the phone before having someone waste their time in driving there . It's not a fully filled in area it's shaded where you can see skin and clearly see if anything was wrong or I was to get bruising . They said their policies have changed so are they turning away all tattooed people with sleeves

Every time I've been here to donate has been a good experience! Staff has always been great to me even though at some points it's been really busy and takes a minute to do my donation, but I do understand the volume of donors that do come through. Jayson, Genevieve, Preston, Cam, Kat, Kyle, Rico, ridge, Brandon, Erin, Lucy, and Devyn have been very good with donors and these are the ones that are always helpful with everybody that needs assistance and they handle a lot of the work that goes on in this loca

I've donated before at another center, and I enjoyed this process a lot more than at BioLife. Kat was great about making the physical process comfortable and things were smooth. Also, there was no wait which was awesome.

This place has the best staff and is always friendly and professional! They get you in and out quick without making you feel like cattle. Devyn is always very welcoming and very kind and reassuring. Keep up the good work!

Donation time in the afternoons are longer. It's irritating when multiple staff members congregate in one spot to have non work conversations that can be heard across the center while they ignore multiple alarms going off.

My visit was great the staff where awesome they got me in and out pretty quick for my first visit Aiden and his trainer did a great job on my physical

I love donating here because the staff is friendly, the process is so fast with the app, and the pay is good. The hardest part is the parking haha but once you're past that it's golden. I would recommend to anyone looking to make a little extra money, and help save lives.

1st experience donating. Kat was great. Professional, yet personable. Everybody did a fine job and got me through the process expediently.

For the last 6 months or so, lobby wait times have increased to 30-45 minutes making the overall visit 2- 2.75hrs. If this is the duration of time moving forward I will need to consider different facility options. I ended up having to leave while canceling my donation. I sure hope corporate brings back their care of customer time they once use to have. Outside of corporates business practice, the staff is great to be with.

The staff are very respectful and easy going. They are very fast and make it priority to get you in and out as quickly as possible. Not to mention they are all great to socialize with which makes it go by much faster as well. All around the best donation facility I've been to! Definitely earned a five star review. Also shout out to Cam! He usually does my screening?s and again very easy going and an awesome employee!

Every process is kind for me!! This is really great place if you want to contribute to society!!

Kat did a great job with my physical. She's great.

I donated here for years. My physical was due, so at my appt. they checked my veins. I was cleared to donate. As a result of donating for a long time, I have built up scar tissue. This makes it a little harder to stick me, however, there's always a few phlebotomists that can do it with no problem. Unfortunately, my hematocrit was a little low, so I could not donate. Due to my work and bus schedule, I had to cancel a couple appointments. Last week, Rico left me a voicemail. He asked if I needed assistance r

Was a little nervous at first due to my fear of needles but a friend convinced me to donate. Thankfully I had Rico as my phlebotomist who knew everything about the procedure and walked me through it. He also did a phenomenal job sticking me as I barely felt it even though it was a 17 gauge needle. The person who disconnected me Kjerstin, I believe her name was might have misspelled it, was very kind and explained all that I need to do to be ready for my second donation.

I've enjoyed donating with Biomat in many different locations, WA, OR, UT, and ID. This location keeps up with the best. Friendly staff, solid pace, I dont feel like I waste time when I come in.

I go in twice a week most weeks mostly for the compensation haha but also because the employees are so friendly. I have had my pre donation screening done by Evie quite a few times and she has the perfect balance of professionalism and kindness. I will continue to donate at this center as long as I can

This plasma donation center is the best one I've ever been to. I prefer this one over biolife by a long shot. Wonderful staff, quick and friendly experience, really care about you. 10/10 would recommend. Rico and Ali are my two favorite staff members there.

Very friendly location. Been donating for 6 months and any time I mentioned that I was feeling unwell after donations the staff would check in with me and were very courteous. Rico, Brandon, Cameron, Erin, and Kylun are all really amazing and make the entire process more enjoyable.

I have been going to this place for 3 years, I love all the staff, they are the best people! I especially love Evie! She is awesome and super helpful and friendly! Thanks Evie for always making my experience so nice!

Absolutely incredible staff, everyone is always so friendly and they explain everything thoroughly. Whenever I have any concerns they are always answered very clearly. The lab people are also super nice, especially Jacobi, she has alway a been super helpful whenever Ive had issues with my cards. All in all a fantastic place to go and make a bit of extra money and help people at the same time, leaving you feeling like you made a difference.

First time donating, Kat was amazing she helped me through the visit explaining everything .made the experience easy and anxiety free will definitely be back

Richard is such a good phleb! I have kind of a tricky vein, and he has been able to get it every time! There is also a girl with long brown hair and glasses and she is great too, I just can't remember her name, maybe Ruby? Not sure. Everyone here is so nice and the environment is clean and friendly, and they move quickly yet prioritize the donors safety and comfort. Since I have a tricky vein, it makes some phlebs a little nervous, but I like that they don't just poke willy nilly, they will grab someone els

Can't believe how unpleasant this experience was. I was 10 minutes early for appointment. Checked in. Then waited almost an hour to donate. Then waited another hour to get hooked up. Asked for compensation for have to being there an extra hour & half. Preston manager, said no, probably not. Well that sat unsettled with me. Then my pay took 45 minutes to come to me. It is missing 25.00 I've been coming here for years. Today. Ruined that moment. I will most likely will be going somewhere else

Grifols is a great place to go donate plasma. The best place I have been to so far! Evie has been my screener a bunch of times and she is very good at her job. She is very friendly and gentle with the finger prick!

No complaints. Everyone was very kind and made the process easy.

I've been coming to this center off and on for about 10 years now; and I have to say it's probably the best center in Utah. I've been to other centers as well just to compare and I always go right back to Grifols Ogden. The staff is always very considerate and attentive. The management actually cares about it's staff and clients. Hands down I wouldn't feel safe donating anywhere else. It's a great side hustle for extra cash and you're also helping someone while doing it. Definitely, definitely recommend thi

Kat was amazing, she made my first visit so easy!

aiden did a phenomenal job making me feel at ease and comfortable during the whole process

Not impressed at all with what this place has turned into. I've been coming here for two years(I did take about an 8 month break). Lately wait times are over an hour passed the scheduled wait time just to get screened and stuck, I end up sitting on bed for 30 minutes before anyone bothers to come and get me stuck. And then another 30 minute wait just to get unstuck once the donation was finished. This place is severely under staffed. They hardly pay anything these days not worth the drive and the wait to

I went to my first appointment a couple weeks ago and had a great experience. They have a great system and provide good customer/patient service. Andre did my initial appointment screening and was very professional. Melissa was being cross trained at the front desk and did a fantastic job! She was honest about how she was training so I understood why she needed some extra time and assistance. This location has good reviews for a reason. I had a reaction towards the end of my 4th donation and felt awful. I h

Every time I've come to donate, the staff has been super efficient in getting their job done in a timely manner. I'm usually in and out close to an hour and a half and that's including the whole process. The staff is all super nice. Cam and Rico are super friendly screeners that all the donors love. Brooke, Preston, and Presten do some of the best sticks I've had. I have donated off and on for years and don't plan to stop any time soon!

It's been a while since I've donated but just recently came back. The staff has seriously improved in quality and professionalism. All of them are really nice but I believe Cam has been most considerate. I have been having a hard time with my BP and he knew ahead of time to check my BP first. I know it might seem like a small thing but it's that small act of kindness that made it possible to donate. He is super friendly and easy to talk to and I hope you hire more people like him.

Super clean facility and the team goes above and beyond to make you comfortable. Shout out to Amanda, Atley, Julien and Ethan for making my experience smooth. I will definitely be back again.

Erin, #1 job today! Super professional Emily T, amazing job!!! Very knowledgeable

I absolutely love coming here not only am I helping by donating my plasma, I also get compensated for doing so . All of the staff are amazing , they make sure you understand everything that is happening and they all work really well with each other, Evie is especially my fav staff member, she has gone above ands beyond to help donors have the best experience possible

Really like this facility experience. The staff is very friendly and informative. I had a lot of bad sticks at biolife although their compensation is higher you pay the price with time there and bad sticks :( Biomat is in and out.

Even though it's chilly in the donation room. It's clean. They sanitize every station when a person is done. They are friendly. Most take time ask questions and they listen. Austin R. I came across to be one of the best. Not saying others weren't great. But I was there one moment in time he had like 8 people to help and they are allowed 6. He did it with confidence. Even donors giving him hard time. He just stayed focused. I gave him credit Told him to relax. I'm in no hurry. He came over to me ended with

Had a great first experience here the staff member Kelsey that helped me was great, she helped reassure me when I was nervous and overall it was a great visit.

So I just wanted to say that all of the staff are absolutely amazing they are so caring and so friendly such a better experience than the other plasma centers that I have been to. They work very hard to get you back as soon as possible on your first donation. Today was my first donation and the examination the test everything went perfectly fine no issues and it was done in a timely matter. When I actually got back in the donation chair Tyrell was the one to actually stick me with the needle he walked me th

Absolutely love how knowledgeable and thorough Kat was, She needs a raise!! Thank you Kat!

I love Biomat. Been donating there now for a month and absolutely love it. Evie is the best. She loves talk as much as I do and we have great conversations every time she screens me.

Such a great place. The staff are friendly. Some days do take way longer than others, but usually they try to get me though quickly. I love Saundra! She's the kindest, and does such an amazing job.

I love going to donate and staff is very friendly especially Preston, he is very professional and knows his stuff. I miss seeing his smiling face out on the floor. However there are way to many appointments scheduled during the appointment slots. I was more willing to come twice a week when the appointments were more regulated.

This place has become not good, its became super busy and they are under staffed with screening and in the back. 2 bays are completely full and only 2 workers in a bay is not enough employees especially when 1 is a new employee. Staff is super nice, just need to do something about scheduling enough workers during busy hrs. I was there 2hrs 20 min yeaterday. My appt was at 3:15 and didnt get stuck until 4:15.

My first time experience was very good, but after the 5th donation. It was not a good experience with some of the young staff.

I've been donating here for about 2 years and I've always been happy with my experience there. All of their technicians and medical staff are very professional, courteous, and efficient. If you've ever considered donating plasma, I'm confident they will give you the best first time experience, and continue that level of care on every return visit.

Great place with a great team and helpful management. Update: I had an encounter with someone who was not donating but was just walking by. The management team handled with professionalism and got it handled. I felt very heard and safe while I was on their property.

I drive past the Roy location to donate here because of the kind and efficient staff! Evie is always so kind during the intake process!

Great place to go when ya need a little extra cash, also benefits those in need of plasma. On top of that, they have a wonderful staff. Usually i struggle with anxiety over needles, but not this time. With the help of amazing staff members like Kayla, i know i am in good hands, and will continue coming back for quite some time.

I have donated at multiple different plasma facilities, and this one BY FAR has been my best experience. The staff are amazing there. Kylun, Jacobi, and Tessy (staff at this location) have been such big helps when donating there. They always show hard work and are great under preassure. They do their job in an effecient way that shows me that they care about their donors. Staff like them are what make these companies a pleasure to go to! If anyone is looking for a place to donate, this one is definitely the

I love the staff at Biomat. I drive here when there is a closer plazma center to my home. They are quick and on time. It is hard to know who to give a shout out to when so many are so good. Rico, Alli and the rest of the group. Alli and Rico are so good at what they do.

I just recently started going here to make some extra money during the holidays and obviously to help others! Kelsey and Josh have had to put up with my shenanigans more than once answering all of my questions and making me feel comfortable. I'm grateful that my first poke from Austin went well cuz I was nervous! The entire staff is always nice, friendly and helpful. The place is always clean when I go and I appreciate it! Thanks for the great experience!

The phlebotomists are always quick and nice with the donation process. I love when there are extra monthly bonuses, it gives me something to work towards. I'd also like to shout out Sarah B., she's nice to talk to and is extra kind and friendly.

Very clean. Very knowledgeable staff. Appointment times run smooth. Painless donations. Best sticks in the place are Shane or Kendall, Rico or Kylun. All are proficient and know how to insert the needle pain free. Cam F. and Rico in intake are always friendly and welcoming. Have been a donor since November. 2019. I Go twice a week.

GRIFOLS is so much faster than other plasma donation centers and the staff is very friendly. Evie helped me today and she is very gentle and always fun to chat with while getting checked in. Thanks GRIFOLS for helping me help others.

I went in just a couple days ago and I had the perfect time everything went so smoothly & when I got to my phlebotomist ( Sandra ) she was so great Took care of me got in and got me relaxed didn't even need to freak out about the needle because she was so good about it definitely Sandra was probably The best part of the whole visit definitely coming back and asking for the best! Also after they deposited my money the next day super quick activated my card and everything was super easy!!!!!

I love this Grifols Biomat location!! The staff here are so friendly and work hard to get you in and out in a timely manner. I've been coming here for over 3 years and never have had a bad experience. Ethan J. Is also one of the best phlebotomists they've got! He gets my vein perfect every time! I would trust him any day. He is very personable and knowledgeable which makes the donation process that much easier. He is the best.

My check in time today was 5pm. I arrived 15 minutes early and they checked me in at 5:45. Why do they allow you to schedule an appointment during that time if they know they'll be too busy to handle it?

Hands down, overall best employees gotta be Jayson and Evie! Courteous and efficient, never lacking professionalism. Would most definitely recommend!
