Customer Reviews

I have never left a review in my life but this place deserves one. I used to go to Octapharma and grifols blew them out the water. Octapharma had me waiting in line for an hour and a half with no chair, to then be examined in front of everyone else, have my weight announced LOUDLY to where everyone in line can hear, rude employees and trashy. ruder donors (one compared me to an escort and I had to stand next to them snicker next to me for another 35 mins, to then be DENIED from donating because my pulse was

I had a quick and easy experience at Grifols Plasma! The staff were efficient, helpful, and knowledgeable (Special thanks to Corey for his assistance). Everything went smoothly, and I was in and out in no time. Highly recommend this location for a fast donation experience!

Rude staff the Manager wrote a weird deferral because I asked why the machine was taking so long so I'm never going back here they brought it to my attention when I returned and I told them I'd rather not even donate ever again with them. If the managers that sensitive she should get a job somewhere else I have the right to ask why your machines are slow... Now I'm off to BioLife where the machines are not slow...

Just want to say thank you guys at Grifols for doing such an outstanding job. Also I would love to say that Mrs Camille Taylor is doing a phenomenal job with management. Keep up the good work ??

An exceptionally clean, professional and comfortable environment to donate plasma. Thanks to the highly trained staff members such as; Lynette, Corey, Jesus, Jesse and a slew of other friendly and educated, calm, focused and kind individuals. You'll be back!

I have been donating here for several years and I can honestly say that it is such a pleasant atmosphere to come into each time. Corey keeps processes flowing, greets donors, and makes everyone feel welcome. The staff is absolutely professional, with a heart warming understanding and relatability to donors!!

I just love how fast and friendly everyone is. They treat you like human beings and the vibe is nice and the facility is so clean. I definitely will continue to come here especially because I hear they do promotions so you always earn more!

I just came back after using another plasma center but today was my first time back after 2 years, I was definitely surprised in a big good way the center in Aurora off of sable was clean and staff was awesome especially jasmine she was very informative and caring!! I would recommend this plasma center for anyone new to the process!! They have updated all of the equipment and process they are very professional and respectful!!! I would honestly give them 10 stars! Very quick and professional!!

I really like coming here. All the staff are nice, professional, and efficient... With the new machines donating is much faster. Sometimes I'm in and out in around 45 minutes....

Jasmine helped me walk through the experience as a first-time donor. It could not have gone smoother and she could not have been more helpful in navigating a process that is both safe but also not complicated. Would recommend.

This place is amazing, and the team always have smiles on and are ready to laugh. Special shout-out to Chan, Lids, and Ave Maria; but good luck telling them apart. That girl who's name matches a Disney show did my stick today, and I hardly noticed; 11 out of 10. P.S. The Assistant Manager is really cute. I think I like her, and I think she might like me back. Wish me luck!

I had a fantastic experience at the Grifols Plasma Center! The staff was incredibly friendly and professional. Lidia, in particular, made the whole process smooth and comfortable. She was knowledgeable, attentive, and made sure I felt at ease throughout the donation. The center itself was clean, well-organized, and had a welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend this location, especially if you're lucky enough to have Lidia assist you!

My first time donating and the team there made me feel comfortable,and welcome.thank u for making my experience wonderful. What use do matters and bless use all.

I give them 10 because it's clean they very respectful in they take there time in make sure they can assist you in any kind of way that's needed to get the job done and they going to make sure they get their job done thank you Chantel ,Dolores and the rest of the crew have a blessed day, Steph,.

Came in as a new donor but got skipped. They were extremely sorry and compensated for it to my surprise. It was well worth it. Everyone is very nice and professional. I'll keep coming back!

Great location. Easy in east out. Could use a good cleaning but the staff and process was great

The staff is friendly and understanding, especially Terri. She made the experience as smooth and as painless as possible. She was very patient and very kindhearted to me, it really meant alot.

Easy to get in and out, great customer service greeted and made comfortable, Jasmine did my annual physical and she made it informative and easy! Thank you!

Jasmine was fantastic! So helpful and friendly. She's also really funny. Also she's very talented at her job. I'm not exaggerating about any of this, she is wonderful. The rest of the staff the assisted me were also very friendly and helpful.

Camille Taylor is a very friendly and helpful leader who has showed the staff some great customer service skills.Thank you team for great customer service it's hard to find anymore.Keep up the great work!

Friendly, fast and professionalism all around. Everything in less than an hour for each donation-great job and teamwork to all staff?????

I walked in to this very clean donation center. I was nicely greeted and welcomed by Teresa. I was very nervous but Teresa definitely made the process much easier then I expected, from start to finish. Elizabeth was also amazing at her job, very fun person to talk to. Most importantly everyone in the building is great and welcoming. Would recommend this to everyone.

Great experience! Jasmine was very nice and quick with my first check in

They changed my compensation terms after my second donation, pretty damn shady. I'll never go back.

Awesome experience here! I've donated at other centers that seem to be in it just for the money, biomat seems to really care about their donors, not just the bottom line! Great phlebotomists, and super friendly, if you need extra cash definitely come in!

Love grifols always a pleasure to see the staff quick and professional very friendly and Corey sp welcoming with a smile and great attitude he makes you feel comfortable ??

I've coming here for years now. If you're looking to try donating this Is the location to do it . This location has an incredible , caring, safety oriented to that will make your visit a pleasant one . From personally being helped by Alejandra, Marissa, Dayana, and Elizabeth to Sergio, Deloris, Denise, Jesus, Monica and these few more I can't remember the name in this moment . Rest assured you will be taken care of here.

I've been going to this center for a couple of years now and can say Corey has been doing amazing for the center along with the amazing staff here!

Been coming here for months and have not had a single negative experience. Corey the manager is awesome.

Discrimination is pretty bad, they will lie to defer you if they decide they don't like you, really sad place.

I had an amazing experience! Corey is awesome and very welcoming and nice.

Love Grifols and all the staff! Always treated well and they work quickly and efficiently! Corey runs a great donation center!

Everyone was really friendly helpful and the physical done by Jasmine was perfect she made me feel extremely comfortable I'd definitely recommend other people to this specific location......

Quick easy way to donate Plasma for some extra cash. The fact that the allow walks-ins for initial physical stands and completing the screen via your phone prior to you appointment is a huge bonus over other plasma donation sites in the area. They make the process fast easy and mostly painless.

Jasmine n crew are very professional, place is clean, donation process is quicker than other places.

I like coming here. It's clean. Pretty fast. And everyone here is nice and does a job. I haven't had a bad stick...

I was told I was not pumping fast enough, (not a health issue or an issue of interfering with other people or anything) so I explained I was in the middle of a family emergency, and kind of preoccupied. But would work on it. She came back 2 minutes later still harassing me that I wasn't fast enough for her. When I told her my son is infinitely more important to me than speeding up my donation, she took me off the machine without returning my blood, making me feel sick for a couple days. When i asked to spea

First time here friendly staff even while busy. Liam was my nurse very professional and informative. Marissa stuck me perfectly first time. Will definitely recommend to anyone who wants to donate with a great experience.

All the staff were very nice and friendly. They made sure I was well informed and that I didn't have any questions about the procedures.Cory, The manager was great! It was my first time donation, and he personally came out to make sure that I didn't have any questions, and that I was having a good first experience!

Props to my boy Liam made sure he got me in quick and even hooked me up with 2 protein shakes to make sure my safety was first and I could get in safely. Made my first donation less nerve wrecking. Great crew too everyone makes you feel comfortable.

I have been a donor at Biomat since August 2024. The staff is professional, Corey and the management team have things running well! I am always welcomed with smiling faces that make visiting regularly very enjoyable! The process of donating plasma is always smooth. The phlebotomists are well trained and aim to make you comfortable as you donate. The plasmapheresis machines are up to date with digital displays to help you know when to pump and when not to pump, along with giving you a percentage of how close

Was a great experience I was finally able to donate this time once I got my blood pressure down and drank so much water!!...Jasmine was awesome and super duper nice...everyone there was fantastic and I didn't catch everyone's name but got stuck that first prick and was successful....again sorry for being the last one there tonight :(

Great center! Cory was very helpful, polite, and professional. I would highly recommend this center.

My 1st visit was not successful as a new donor but after my 2nd attempt, the staff made accommodations to assist me with a successful donation process. I would like to acknowledge Liam and Sergio overall. Thank you for all of your assistance and helpful knowledge.

I Lloyd Jacobs choose Alejandra as my choice for employee of the year. She does a great job in every aspect of her job, she also very knowledge able about the job she does. She also is very helpful and kind to patients as well as her co- workers. ??

Jasmine is absolutely awesome!!! Great experience, she is super fun and efficient. The whole team at Grifols is tremendous. I highly recommend offering your plasma at Biomat/Grifols!

It was my first time donating but Corey and Theresa made me feel right at home. Free snacks too!

Not the best place but ehhhhh, I guess, they try... The lady that does the physical was very nice, gotta give her credit. Some guy at the counter that was bald with glasses seemed like a d-bag, my opinion based on the conversation I over heard... Keep it professional ??. Well maybe the company encourages that idk.. I would hope not.

Every time I come into Grifols Corey always say good morning. I would recommend coming here.

All of the employees that I had interactions with were amazing! However, Jasmine really stood out as a very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable Tech. I will be going back to this location, no doubt about it.

They didn't put the money on the card. They closed now and can't reach anyone on consumer service. So I guess I just gave my service for free lol tf

Liam and everyone at Biomat very kind. They make sure donor is safe. Very clean and professional clinic. I highly recommend for extra spending money in these high rental times. The new system and machines very fast?. And they teach donors how to eat healthy foods to have healthy life. And most importantly we helping other families?sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, grandmothers grandfathers? Everyone living healthy lives?.

I been coming here from 2022 One of the best place to donate plasma Staff are very friendly specially (Corey)

Always have a pleasant time donating with Sergio , jasmine, Olivia, Delores, terry, Marisa and many others, best and fastest staff with best payment scale.

They missed a vain had a golf ball sized hematoma on my arm then refused to pay full price.

This place is so great and helpful, thank you to Corey for helping me sent up my donate app ????????

The check in progress is lengthy. But once I went to the booth, I was seen by Jasmine and the experience was great! Jasmine is such a sweet heart, and being able to be seen by a woman of color was nice. Thank you jasmine!

This place is completely unprofessional. And the so called staff there are not equip to the basic of there jobs my vein was punchered so bad that I still feel numbness in my elbow a week later. I'll never returned to this place the staff have no customer service skills what so ever completely unprofessional when they speak and talk this center is horrible. If saving people lives are that important someone's should tell their staff to be a little more patient friendly cause I'll never donate again do this ex

Jasmine was great and kind. Everyone here is awesome thank you

My wife and I went in to donate to help those in need of the plasma and to help ourselves who need additional money. When checking my wife's veins they noticed a bruise that was left when she had blood taken several days ago at the ER. They wouldn't allow her to donate because she didn't have the release form stating that they found nothing wrong beyond arthritis and a pulled muscle. She left and I stayed continuing to read their book about all the possibilities of things that could potentially go wrong wit

Liam was great and got me through the new donor process very quickly and explained everything very well. The rest of the employees were also very friendly and made the donation process very simple :)

Loved it before. Now it seems like they are sacrificing comfort for efficiency. They put all the chairs facing each other. So you are facing the people across from you. It can be a bit uncomfortable when someone is staring you down. They also are beginning to assign numbers to donors and chairs which may even lead to discrimination of donors and employees. One would eventually think it to be odd to end up with the same employee and in the same area every time they donate. Everything seems less laid back and

Jasmine and the rest of the staff were extremely thorough and handled with care. Great experience!

Jasmine is dope...a nice, funny lady! Quick with my physical. Andrea stuck me and I barely felt it. Center was clean and the bathroom up front was pretty clean, however there was no soap. Tighten up!

Liam was the upmost respectful person. I've met since I've been donating plasma and he always has a smile on his face and he explained every thing in detail very well look forward to my next visit

My experience was awesome the whole entire staff was great especially jasmine

So apparently they don't give you the new donors fee if you've ever at any point ever donated at any Grifols Biomat. I have not donated since 2021 at Grifols Biomat. Also I made them very well aware that I have been donating at CSL plasma. I said it on the phone and when I was there in person. It wasn't until after I had been there for nearly 3 hours that I was told I can't donate there until it's been 7 days since I last donated plasma. That would of been nice to know before I wasted a hour and a half on t

Great service from all the staff. changing from 5 to 1 star after the terrible service I received today from staff. SMH This was unacceptable.

As of recently I've called day after day to get test results and have been put on hold 3 times in one day without anyone coming back on the line have waited up to 5 minutes each time

The BEST ! Clean efficient polite and professional... thank you Cory and Theresa

Jasmine made me feel comfortable it was a great experience plus I got to give back to my community for those who are in need. Jasmine deserves five stars thank you and I'm happy to to the arms who care ??

Awesome place awesome staff the phlebotomists are great here Elizabeth's probably the best ones in the back

Jasmine is literally the best! Always makes me feel welcomed and comfortable!

Staff is awesome, it's clean and usually not too busy.

UPDATE THEY GIVE YOU A NUMBER TO CONTACT AND STILL WONT FIX ANYTHING. I feel very disrespected honestly I have never had such horrible customer service anywhere. I would not recommend coming here. 1. they will probably mess up your paperwork and you'll end up not being able to donate the second time you come in and YOU will be screwed out of your bonuses. Even though it isn't your fault. 2. No one told me the bonuses had a time frame. I was told the first 4 donations the bonus applied. But NOPE! And when I

Love the way this place is ran. ?????'S goes to Jasmine for being so personable and professional at the same time. Making a appointment online sure makes things run so much smoother in my opinion. Your in and out, make a couple of bucks ?? along with helping the ones that need you the most! Killing two birds with one stone is the way to go. Would recommend to anybody. ??

The manager is super nice and very helpful.

Great atmosphere and friendly people. The app socks. Hasn't updated to set appointments. I just go in and wait patiently for them to fit me in. I love thet I'm in and out within 45 minutes. Doesn't take 2hrs like most places

I like this places and most of the staff but bring back the tvs with movies. Listening to music while having 3 people across from you nothing to do but stare can make it feel uncomfortable for a whole hr ??

I've been here many times the last few years. They seem to have a lot fewer staff now so you have to be patient, arrive early, and I highly recommend using their online kiosk for the questions. These things will help speed the process along. I haven't had many of the issues that others mentioned but I've seen many people get upset in person for reasons the staff has no control over. They can't just let people slide if you don't meet metrics or if you disclose something to them that causes deferral. If you w

Liam was incredibly helpful and kind getting me set up as a new donor! Every team member was respectful and i look forward to returning.

Switched over from CSL a couple months ago & it was a night & day difference. The staff is very welcoming & nice. The process of screening & donating is faster & more efficient. I recommend this donation center for first timers but also experienced donors, the experience is impeccable.

Go there every chance I get whoever go there reference my name

Liam was awesome he made the process easy to understand and made me feel safe and comfortable would highly recommend!!!!

As a first timer it's alright but that's about it. However, I didn't have a good time coming here. I had discomfort every time I went either the needle was too deep, the staff inserted the needles aggressively which bruised me and the donation time is longer than an hour even if you answer the questionnaire ahead of time through the app(machines are junk as they have little to no touch sensitivity) Also they have appointments slots every 15minutes but if you are running a little late at the end of the nigh

The first initial visit with exam and physical only took 2 hours and 45 minutes. Every visit since then has always been an hour or less and the staff are really friendly. They also play great movies.

I'm a long time donor at Aurora Biomat. The donor fees are nice, but I continue to come back because I appreciate the staff so much! They're friendly and helpful; they also make the donation experience a good time. I always look forward to seeing Jasmine, Amanda, Sergio, Olivia, Ian, Nick, Terry, Shay, Theresa, and (sometimes) Sergey!

Fantastic experience with Liam. I couldn't have asked for anything better. Overall, as well, it was a great experience start to finish.
