Customer Reviews

I applied here through Indeed with the understanding that there was a $1000 sign on bonus, however upon working here through many other employees that there was no bonus, and that they use that method to get people to apply. I also read that they care about mental health, however management does not. From my first day to my last day they showed that they had favorite employees, and if you were one of them expect your experience to be different. My training took way long (including having to bring someone fr

Had an amazing experience with Heidi. She was super fast and efficient, while also having a good time laughing with staff and other patients! She was there to make sure I was 100% okay and was very attentive! She is a rockstar!!

Horrible experience! First of all I understand being understaffed coming from a management position myself but! That is no excuse for the nurse who is doing the initial physicals to snap at people because of the wait time for a physical due to understaffing! Customer service is everything. Weather you are short staffed or not treat people nicely!

Great staff clean facilities. Courteous and efficient. Get in and out in a timely manner. The staff makes it a fun and welcoming environment and definitely would come back again.

This place is awesome! The environment is relaxing and the staff is amazing! Friendly, helpful and kind is how I would describe the individuals working here! Donating also helps many people by providing plasma for medications. If you're interested in becoming a new donor or just hoping to get back into it Grifols is the right place!

Just moved here from Vegas in June. Was a donor there at another facility for a couple of years. Grifols is closer to our house so I decided to try this company. GREAT CHOICE. AWESOME AND PERSONABLE AND PROFESSIONAL STAFF. Have never waited. Get to do questionnaire at home . Will be a long time donor at this facility. WELL DONE BILLINGS GRIFOLS ON MAIN. It is a privilege.

Grifols Plasma center is the best plasma center in town they know you by your name they are super friendly. They will joke around with you. Great staff some of my favorite staff for all of them but the name names I can remember are el hide jj and all the staff are amazing polite respectful and make donating worth it and they are the reason why I keep coming back and I am glad I chose Grifols and their amazing staff/team and friendly environment and makes it feel like one big giant family

I love coming to Grifols. Everyone has been nice and informative. They have done a great good with my donation. Also The express check in helps me get in and out in less time. Thanks guys

I was so scared to donate at first but the staff were amazing and helped me get over my fear. now after awhile I love them and feel like its a second family

The staff here always make my wife and I feel appreciated and like we are friends rather than a statistic for the day. Very hard working and friendly people, and very efficient at what they do. Even with a lobby full of people waiting they are able to maintain a calm composure, and deliver that same, efficient, friendly service.

I love the Grifols Biomat Center that I go to. The workers are some of the nicest people I've met in a very long time. I would recommend if you can go. We are in Billings, Mt

I am always amazed at the efficiency and great service when I come in. Katie, Momo, and Koda are awesome and always make me feel very welcome. They did a great job and I was in and out in under an hour. I come back because a former employee was also a patient and that made me feel like I was making a difference. Would highly recommend donating here. You are making a difference.

Always have a great experience here! The staff is always friendly, knowledgeable, but most of all very caring! Would trust Nani to put the needle in my arm blind folded, and it still wouldn't hurt! She always does a fantastic job!

Staff is amazing and so welcoming!! Highly recommend. Staff is so friendly even on busy days. Couldnt ask for better people to spend time with. Front desk is fast and fun to be around. People in the back are fast and efficient. Love Grifols!! They deserve 10 stars!!

Had a great experience staff/nurses are nice and like to joke makes time fly by

Don't get me wrong, most of the staff are great. I've been coming here for the past month and I don't expect the staff to recognize me by name but when you're another Ethnicity, you seem to be left alone or forgotten. There have been times where I had to wait more then half an hour to be disconnected. The staff say "I'm sorry, we're short staffed, we'll be right there" but I'll see them disconnect another person who is Anglo and who started after me. Sometimes I get the feeling the staff don't want to touch

I've been a return donator for the pass 2 ? years. They've recently changed a lot of employees, and I guess a new system. Now it could be I'm used to the old way of things, but the new employees have no sense of urgency. Busy talking with one another rather than help a room FULLED with donators wait to donate. It's more important for them to 1st figure out their breaks and what audio books are good to listen to.

Mikala helped me feel comfortable and the whole staff there was truly awesome! They play good tunes and are down to earth while still doing excellent and professional work at the same time. I'll keep coming back!

Have had nothing but positive experiences at this facility! Garrett is an excellent stick and was very accommodating. Would 100% recommend biomat over any competitors!! Staff in general actually speak to donors and treat you as an individual. You will not regret your experience here!

All the staff is awesome! I was really nervous and even had a little speed bump ?? during my first donation. They were absolutely great in attending to me and making sure I was ok! They enjoy what they do and make the enviornment comfortable!

Everyone is always so nice, and easy to interact with! It's really nice to see workers smiling and laughing it makes for an amazing environment to be in! Jess you're always so bubbly and friendly, you're awesome!

My experience was so relaxed, I felt completely comfortable with all staff. Amy was so kind and Jessica was amazing and was able to get my vain her first try with no pain at all!:)

I love donating at this location! I've gotten to know a lot of the staff. They're all friendly and professional. Nathan, Nani and Kait are a few of my favorite employees there. They always take care of me.

I changed this from a 1 star to a 5 star review thanks to one of the managers, Devon. I had a poor experience the other night with a staff member, and as such left a fairly scathing review. Devon reached out to me today, asked me my side of everything, listened to my concerns, and made me feel like I was being listened to and an important member to their donor community. He even made sure to honor my referral bonus.

First time experience in any type of blood. Service was great. Ladies we're awesome. The one gentleman who mentioned my daughter was spectacular as well. Place was clean and environment was excellent as well.

I just started donating plasma and the staff has made me feel super welcome so far!

Easily one of the worst places in Billings to donate. The staff here are miserable, looking, and in a way, quite rude. Policies for starting up here are even worse. if you happen Do not be able to get past the first part of your Then you have to redo it all Uber the next time you come back in. I do not see how a company has such policies and still plans on making money and staying competitivea

Have been donating for over a year. I love the people that work there and look forward to my donations.

I would usually give this company a 4 or 5 star but recently they have quit caring about the people needing disconnected the last 2 times I went I spent almost 20 minutes waiting to be disconnected. They're was 2 phlebotomists in the bay next to me and 1 in another and no one was in mine where 3 people sat for 10 minutes before getting disconnected. My appointment was at 2:45 and I didn't get out till 4:45. It wasn't busy theirs just a lot of carelessness and it takes long and longer every time I go now. I

Felt very uncomfortable from the beginning. Staff did not seem to care about a persons well being and was very short and rude. I would not recommend in any way. Go to vitalant or bio life anywhere but here. There was no concern for each person, and basically treated you as livestock. I would give a no stars review if I could, and I am not the type of person to leave any reviews especially bad.

Absolutely awful. Terrible customer service. They want donations for free. And they could use some teaching about how to use a needle . Absolutely a horrible experience. I feel like they wanted me to feel horror . Biolife will treat you right.

The Grifols staff, save one woman, is excellent. However, I stopped donating at Grifols due to the wait times. I always made my appointments for noon. On almost all of my appointments, I would sit in the waiting area for over an hour, sometimes more. I dont have the time for that kind of inefficiency

Jessica did a fabulous job today, while doing my physical. Smooth process!

Very professional staff. I have deep veins that get bruised easily, but their phlebotomist do an excellent job getting them everytime without hurting me. I highly recommend this center. They are always ready to answer all your questions too.

easy process to donate good cash benefits staff is super friendly A+ plus plus plus plus!

This has been my first place to donate plasma not because of the pay but because of the staff. Cat is always friendly smiling quick and efficient with the "sticks" haven't had to get a restick. She reassures you when you're anxious. A great all around phlebotomist.

Great staff. Makes you feel welcome. Just amazing people. They really make you feel like you mean something. Always conversating with you. Today i had the pleasure of being around Koda, Mo, Mikayla, and Heather.

They are always very cheerful and have always made sure that everything is going okay. They check in with you, and are very attentive. I am very happy to go here and I will definitely recommend others.

Other than when Nathan does it, the people doing the hooking up to machine have caused me a lot of pain and because of their mistake and bruising me I had to take a mandatory 8 weeks off which kept me from making the extra bonuses. If I didn't need the extra $ id defenitely wouldn't go back to them.

Love coming to this place! They make donating easy and fun. I especially enjoy working with Allysa, Nicole and Jessika. They are very knowledgeable and personable.

Great place! Friendly staff! Not a long wait time!

The staff could be trained better. I went out of my way to talk to a manager direvtly, where he promptly brushed off my concerns, in privacy. I have been offered an ice pack for bruising more times than not, an occurrence unheard of at Biolife. Several different staff hurt me, were too quick, and I have way worse scarring than I have ever had at Biolife. The people are nice, I just have a hard time believing they know what they're doing here.

Amazing staff who always make me feel welcome. Shout out to Allysa, Nicole and Jessika for always being so fun and professional! Yay for the tripod!

Believe it or not, I look forward to every donation here. The staff are all so well at what they do & super friendly. Easy breezy process from start to finish!

The folks who work here are the best. They will joke with you and will help you when/ if you have a reaction. They make you feel very comfortable while donating. Answer questions about the process. Couldn't ask for a better group of people. Thank you all!!

My. Experience. At grifols is amazing. The whole staff from top to bottom are totally professional. Kat. Is. A blessing. To. Me. And this company. She is allways on top of. Her game in all aspects of her job !! She. Is. Five star for sure ??

The staff here are very knowledgeable and super friendly! Shout out their manager Wendy who ensures that the staff and donors both feel comfortable and welcomed.

I have been to grifols Biomat centers all over the country starting in Tacoma WA, Everett WA, Seattle WA , Pittsburgh PA, Fairliss Hills PA., Penn Hills PA, and now Billings MT. The staff is absolutely amazing. Friendly but yet very professional. The facilities is absolutely the cleanest I have been to. When I first came to Billings the Biomat wasn't open yet and I tried Biolife. I will never go back there. They made us stand in lines for hours. The facilty is not nearly as nice or as clean as Biomat.

Grifols is a great place to donate. People are great and personable! Kaity and Nani are my personal favorite super funny and always make me laugh and are great at their job!

Such a wonderful staff and company! Always feel like I'm part of the Grifols family when I come in. Especially Nani shes wonderful and my favorite Phlebotomist !

Each time I've been here the employees are just standing around not helping let alone even greeting or speaking with all the people waiting. Clear your entire day if you want to go here. Biolife is better.

Every time I am there the staff are always friendly and professional. Wendy and her employees keep the center looking nice and feeling inviting.

This is a really nice, clean facility. The staff are awesome and super nice. It also doesn't hurt that the Assistant Manager is really cute!

This new numbering policy along with mandatory appointments killed it for me. Waiting over an hour to donate is ridiculous and what ever manager thought this was a good idea should be fired ! I was a loyal donor I may finish out the month and never return. Inconveniencing your donors instead of hiring a proper labor force is not the answer

Nani is seriously the best. Having a bad day and need a laugh? Ask for Nani. Not having a bad day and want to just give someone a hard time? Ask for Nani. Need someone to vent to because you over slept or stubbed your toe? Ask for Nani. She is remarkable in every way. She's personable, funny and her sticks don't even hurt like at all! Go donate and see Nani! You won't regret it! Nichole and Alyssa - Pshhhh. Can't say enough bad I mean good about these two ;). They're both simply remarkable (kind of) ? I wa

It's alright, after the whole ?new donor? settlements ends the money is kind of low.. overall employees are super nice! the wait just to have your vitals taken to see if your able to donate is horrendous feels like it takes a million years.. ??

Five star service from start to finish. The staff here are friendly, professional and so pleasant to be around during your donation experience. Thank you for doing what you do!

Way better than BioLife. The staff are extremely friendly and actually use you name when talking to you. Shout out to Ally and Nicole.

Techs are very nice and pleasant. I only give a three due to hearing a male employee who was training another person become verbally abusive to her. Using curse word in front of donors in common area. There was no shock from the other staff which leads me to believe this is a common practice. Shame on you Grifols

Great place to donate plasma. The staff is very friendly and they care that you have a great experience without any problems. They also have fun stuff like raffles and bonuses every month.

Fast (significantly quicker than BioLife), efficient and competitive compensation. very kind staff as well, with a fun environment (themed drinks, raffles, etc).

Very kind and welcoming staff, and they are very knowledgeable.

I love donating here! Everyone especially Garrett (Farret) is always so friendly and welcoming! 50 stars for Garrett and Biomat!! ????

Good people and they take care of you from the time you walk in the door to do your questions till you get wrapped up. Even if you are a new donor. ALLY AND GARRETT ARE THE BEST.

I always like going there. The staff are all great people and it's a welcoming environment

Been going twice a week for 5 years. Best plasma center I've been to. Staff goes out of there way to make you feel like family.

This is the place to be! The staff are great and good at what they do. I met Wendy the manager and she is awesome!

I'm gonna start off by saying I love donating here but hard to continue to donate when the mobile app will not allow me to log in to schedule an appointment, and when you try through Google it takes you to the mobile app to log in.

My experience here EVERY time is memorable. I've built some sort of relationship with just about all the visual staff. Good people good times

Everybody here is so sweet and they always make sure you're comfortable. They are so friendly and it's very welcoming.

Very professional and compassionate which made a very pleasant experience as well as being quick and thorough getting set up for the procedure thank you very much and I'm glad to be helping those who need my plasma

Nice place to donate! Environment is friendly, clean and professional. I've donated many times with zero problems. I definitely prefer coming here over other centers.

Always a good experience friendly knowledgeable staff 10/10 would recommend

Love coming to this location to donate plasma. Jessica, Annette, & Cat are always in a good mood. Awesome staff to be around.

One very rude employee, she treated me as if she was annoyed. Do not recommend.

Staff is very rude, make up excuses, and they look miserable. Never smile or greet. Don't recommend this place.

Very disappointing, and I will not return. After donating at Biolife for over a year, I decided to try Biomat for their incentive program. At Biolife, I could be in and out in under an hour and only had one instance of having an issue with collection. At Biomat, 3.5 hours for the first visit and then I wasn't allowed to donate because I had a dental procedure the week before (without novocain). Second visit, they only got 200 ml of plasma because the phlebotomist couldn't find the vein part way through t

Hard working people and professional, they move as fast as possible without sacrificing quality.

This is ridiculous. It took over 4 hours the 1st time and I wasn't able to give a full donation because I had an appt. My info apparently wouldn't transfer from another Biomat location I used several times. The 2nd time the girl put the cuff on and just disappeared. Plenty of staff walking around doing nothing

Had a great experience! Staff was super nice and the place was very clean. Will definitely return.

Nani is excellent at making you feel relaxed and feel at home! and has a great sense of humor! love biomatt

i enjoy biomat way more then biolife plasma services. i spend 1-1 1/2 hrs here unlike at biolife i would be there for 2-1/2 hrs. at biolife it would feel like a drag and a hassle to donate, but here at biomat the service is quick and easy :)

Not a long wait time. The staff is very friendly. Thanks to Amy,Annette, and Cat for helping during the process.

Came in sat and katie was great.perfect stick and fastest donating time. Came in thur today abd koda same thing perfect stick and awsome time

A well kept facility with friendly staff. Dale is extremely knowledgeable and incredibly helpful. Would highly recommend donating!

They do a great job- I never wait long and the staff there does a fine job. Thanks Amy!!! You rock!!!

The staff is great & very friendly. They make the donating experience easy & fun.

The process of very easy and the I love the staff
