The people working there are nice and they work quickly, decent experience, simple n quick.
Will you believe that this center doesn't put the employees safety first . Can you believe that while the businesses in the area were closed and schools were closed in this district, while there was inches of snow as well as ice on the roads , they mandated that the employees still risk their lives and their vehicles to come in . Can you believe that they wrote the ones that weren't able to make it in or didn't want to risk their safety up? That is outrageous for a company to think about money that hard to
The owner told me to contact them and the website wasn't letting me it all just feels like a scam no matter what they will protect their workers, it's only the young workers being rude and disrespectful I've been trying to contact the manger for days but when I called the lady at the front desk was rude and didn't want to transfer me to the manager she just kept asking why I wanted to talk to the manager and just transferred me to some lady saying she was quality and was being disrespectful and had attitude
Very clean location. Super friendly staff. I donate here twice a week.
Was a very pleasant environment to be in VERY CLEAN staff was helpful to answer any question or concerns! This was first time donating there! Was a far different experience than CSL on East Freeway. I would highly RECOMMEND Grifols in Channelview for a pleasant experience in donating! Thank you to all the staff!
Great staff great location but that appointment stuff ruins it . Takes away from the simplicity to walk in check in and go . Everyone?s schedules are different and appointments don't always work . Go else where if you don't set your appointment
The Staff is wonderful. Everyone has a beautiful personality. They treat you with respect and are very helpful. The blood pressure equipment needs to be re evaluated. Half the people coming through were denied for HIGH blood pressure reading. The cups are not adequate for larger arms. My pressure reading was also High. But I will NOT be returning because of the low donor compensation. Not competitive compensation with other donations centers in the area. Very clean, Quiet, comfortable facility. If the mone
ago NEW Absolutely love the staff here. Since the day I started I always been welcomed with friendliness, and kind and fast service. This is the best place to donate if you live in Houston/Channelview area. Thank you to all the staff. I hope the one who reviews posts can give a round of applause and a reminder that they're doing a wonderful job. LOVE IT HERE (:
They are truly amazing and loving. Its fast and very well clean. I've been back to only this location due to the atmosphere in the place. I absolutely love it. Juan and Janeth are super amazing my 2 favorites to go to.
My experience at this location is a 10/10. I never had a problem and they get me in and out. The workers are so kind and everyone is so concerned for you when you're on the bed. This location is very clean and not as busy as most.
First of all, they don't have well-trained employees. They told me first that I was going to receive $75 and when I checked the account they only sent $50 I call to the center to ask why and they only give excuses the lady the tell me she don't know about the new rules because she was only one mouth there . Secondly, they stung me twice just because the girl wasn't sure. If you're not sure, talk to someone more trained and let him do it for you.
They new system make it to we're only a few can donate idk what going on up there now but I've came 5 times already n every time it something to where I can't worst experience and I don't recommend coming here I regret it honestly
The staff is very friendly, the person who assists me is always super friendly and good in dealing with me, I am satisfied with their attention.
My experience was a good one at the location, I was there yesterday Monday, October 10th. Staff was friendly and respectful, the location was very clean and not too busy. I gave it a 1 because this was the only place where I shared my personal information in the past 12 months. Today Tuesday, October 11th, I received a text alert that there was a credit inquiry! I contacted Experian and found out that a credit card was open without my authorization. Yes, I am a victim of Identity theft! Either my informatio
Bad experience horrible customer service
Everyone is always professional and very helpful and nice. I have never had any issues since I've been coming here for the last year. I will recommend people to come here
Always friendly and fast here. Never a line like at other places. Everyone is friendly up front and the people in the back sticking are also friendly. So many people to recommend but I'm forgetful with names; Juan, Lashee & Ericka are the first 3 that come to mind.
The staff there is always pleasant and helpful. I am usually helped promptly. It's NOT a drive through where you pull up, donate and drive off. There is a process and some days it takes longer than other. Be mindful that it's a process for the workers as well. Again, I found the facility and staff to be on point! I donate regularly twice a week for over a year with ZERO negative issues.
The Staff makes the environment very friendly and caring. They explain and acknowledge all questions and concerns the donors have. While all staff members carry themselves as very professional and orderly, they also make donors comfortable, easy to get along with and at ease while donating.
I was skeptical about coming after reading some of the reviews but this place is a 10/10!! The staff is really professional & nice. This is my first & only place donating. Your in & out in a hr max!! I definitely recommend this place to anybody!!
I love this place so much, they have the most nicest employees ever!??
This location is the best I've been to it's clean there is never to much foot traffic. The staff is super nice and are constantly checking on you. If you plan on donating I highly recommend this place.
It's a great place it just takes forever to get paid the thing say 10-15 min and my money ain?t hit till late at night
I went to this particular donor center. Staff was extremely kind and started thru the process. I go in for the exam and I had made corrections on the kiosk when I told the technician Taylor about my dementia diagnosis and told her I could not remember the names of meds I take. I understand you have to follow A.D.A. PROTOCOLS. not to go thru an inquisition. She called the pharmacy and got the info on the meds I take. Then she tells me she needs to talk to the office doctor since she found nothing in her bind
Absolutely the worst experience I've ever experienced, after years at other facilities this is the worst. The manager?s condescending attitude towards client concerns are repulsive. After a gap in donations the hub app sends come back coupons. At first,I thought it was from my previous donation site. So upon transfer approval I handed over my iPhone with address verification and coupon. To receptionist who immediately said ? Do you mind if I take this and show to my manager? I said sure, she was gone long e
For several years I have been denied due to small veins. Whatever. I get it. But you need to fully train your staff. I was trying to donate again today after no luck the previous week. The first time I tried to donate I wasn't married so the name in the system is my maiden name. Last week I came with my social, ID and proof of address. Did the sign in process and a vein check again. They said no. Again. Okay, like I said I get it that's cool. That's not why I'm mad. I was never told to bring my marriage lic
Ima be real. I came to register & everything on my first day. I was there for 3 hours just for them to tell my my veins are too small. That's my fault I guess but they agreed to pay me $20 for giving a sample & once I activated my card. It just says $5 & never changed. Deadass never coming here again
Walking in, I was quickly greeted with a friendly smile and assisted immediately. Overall this is my favorite location and I would definitely recommend this donating center to anyone. Every person I came in contact with was knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable.
Horrible customer service. Rude and ghetto employees. New donor and wont be returning no matter what the pay is. Phlebotomist dropped needle on floor and picked it up and tried to use it on me. Absolutely not. Spoke to a guy in management and he was just about as unprofessional as they come then tried to offer me $5 because of them trying to use a dirty needle. Be careful if you use them!
Be careful... They advertise bonuses for the 8th week of the month ?? Then when the time comes; The manger explains that it was all a MISUNDERSTANDING#SORRY!??Very Disappointed Well actually it's worse than THAT. Just yesterday I was told by a different MANAGER that they were aware that some people money was SHor!
This is one of the better centers near me. The lines are never long, the employees are always very nice and respectful. I have no complaints.
Staff is always very friendly & welcoming! Vernon, the manager, is awesome. My mom has been donating here for years and loves it!
3rd time donating here and they always got problems finding my veins I got poked in both arms tell me why the lady says she can't pay me out how is that right I just got my arms messed up because your people need more training ???? then I ask who's in charge of the place so I could speak with them and no one ever came!!!
I had a amazing experience the staff is always so nice and helpful, it's always been amazing since I started coming here.
So far everything has gone pretty well. Very nice people to deal with. I just had my second appointment I was supposed to get an extra $5 bonus but haven't received that yet.
Worst experience of my life , literally have new people on the phlebotomist floor that have absolutely no idea what they are doing , not only did she stick me wrong and had me bleeding out she had the nerve to ask to stick me again the paid me out $5 , will not be back ever again ! I hate this place
I just want to say thanks to Mrs Lynnette Thomas She's Very polite And keep a smile on her face at all time thank you so much Mrs Lynette Thomas. She the reason I'll be back on Friday
Was "helped" by 4 staff members who all confused each other, topped off with Roy Stevens (a manager, I guess?) saying I need to go register at my school. I'm graduating and not going back to school, this is my home. The incompetence and idiocy wasted my time; I would not trust them with sticking a needle in my arm, if they can't handle simple thought processes. They ended up messing up my friend's donation and spilled liters of blood all over the floor, after hours of mispricking. Would give 0 stars, if I c
Great staff, very professional, make you comfortable, over all great service, making you want to come back.... Keep up the great work guys, I will keep referring ppl, they will pay you for them too.......
Very rude woman behind the desk, refused to grant a referral bonus, besides that the machines are very dated and the workers are mostly very unskilled. Two workers stand out and request them unless you want someone digging around in your arm with a needle for ten minutes. One is Brie, and the other is a white guy, I think the only white guy there but he is good as well. I had one visit where I was poked and prodded for 20 minutes, bled excessively, only to be sent home with nothing. Another visit I had
Very professional!!! They make donating plasma very easy and fast!!! 20+ donations... let's save some lives yall!!! EDIT: no problem love this location, but the location in Humble needs some serious attention.. they seem seriously understaffed
I've had a great experience and the employees are very nice and helpful and making sure everything is going smooth
Using BPL Plasma was an all around good experience. They were exactly as advertised. The staff was helpful,friendly,and knowledgable, they really put you at ease with the whole process. I'm glad that l used them, and l will gladly use then again, and soon.
Not happy at all I called September 29 inquiring about donating the lady I spoke to said to wait until Friday oct 1 they had a new incentive for new donors she said it would pay $150 for the first 2 donations only to go threw the entire process and they only compensate me $100 not the $150 promised I called and a man said he could only give me $20 not the $50 because the incentive didn't start until oct 4th when clearly their advertisement doesn't say that.
Bpl holds a high standard on safety and cleanliness. They also treat everyone kind and with respect. I'm always in and out on a timely matter. I'm not going to lie during the beginning of the Covid pandemic I was a little leery of donating, but I decided to come back to see the precautions that were being taken during the pandemic. Long story short I've been donating ever since. It goes back to what I said I truly feel that my safety and well being is priority here at Bpl
I highly recommend this facility, the staff is very friendly and helpful with any questions and concerns. Also, they try their best to get all donors in and out as quick as possible regardless of how busy it can be sometimes.
Awesome place friendly staff and they make sure u are out quickly hardly any wait time I highly recommend this place
Absolutely love the staff here. Since the day I started I always been welcomed with friendliness, and kind and fast service. This is the best place to donate if you live in Houston/Channelview area. I drive from 225 and Allen Genoa to donate here at this location. Thank you to all the staff. I hope the one who reviews posts can give a round of applause and a reminder that they're doing a wonderful job. LOVE IT HERE (:
My experiences is good the staff and once u go there for a while you'll have yo favorites
Very friendly people from the start to the end the manager he's a cool dude down to earth with a good sense of humor I recommend this place to anyone
I have been donating Plasma for a couple of years and I look at it as a part-time job. The worker's here are exceptional, they make you feel comfortable and explain everything to you before you even get started
Clean facility, excellent and friendly staff, they can be a bit busy on Monday's, but still not too long of a wait. There's not too many better ways to help people and pick up a little cash on the side.
Ok first time to do this....... wasted 3.5hrs with nothing to show for it..... I'm reluctant to try it again, but I said I was going to go back next day so I will update after tomorrow's try..... it will be either a 5 or a 1....... right now, I will leave it at a 2... everyone was friendly and apologetic for wasted time today and hopefully all kinks is worked out for tomorrow's trip.
Best plasma center in the east area Every month new promotions also corporate bonuses are always a plus Very clean Also everyone is professional & understanding. Alexia, Jordin, Haley & Angela are always doing a great job with customer service and Bianca brandy and Lexi are the best at poking. I wouldnt go anywhere else. The staff are amazing here. Bpl channelview makes me feel comfortable & taken care of every visit.
The staff is great they always make sure your good and your process is fast like in and out kinda fast
Friendly staff made me feel comfortable. Easy process and quick payment. I'll for sure go back!!!
Better then csl yea they pay less .but bio is more of a relaxed environment Especially when getting off work ..if first time donating till justin cook sent you,, for a extra 100 on your next donation
I had a great experience and all employees are nice and make sure your at you most comfortable while doing the whole process of donating.
Most efficient plasma center by far! Safe, friendly knowledgeable, caring and attentive staff! Special mention to Juan and Kareem. However, everyone there seems to truly care.
Being a first time donor I'm not sure if I'm gonna do it again. I was made to feel as if I was the reason the machine didn't work and when the process couldn't be completed, they were to return the blood back to my body the machine couldn't do that, but I was still made to feel as if I was the reason. I'm rethinking donating. The ladies that helped we really nice.Just when someone is donating for the first time yall shouldn't make them feel as if they messed up the machine. The machine was going off and it
I love going here everyone is very nice and the place is very clean and they are making sure everyone wears a mask and they take temperatures I would not change places I highly recommend this place.
Best employees help me get comfortable & relaxed while understand what's happening... Just wish I got payed more for the donation or really to most people LIFE INVESTMENTS...
Most absolutely the best staff and service ??.. they always are on top amd very experienced employees and most definitely my donation center.. ??
I've been donating here for years now. It is nearly always a smooth experience, and you get quite a bit of money for it! Would recommend.
It makes no sense that EVERYONE gets a punch card to get punched out on their first 5 donations but they have a spin wheel to spin on your 5th donation but cant spin it bcuz you can only pick one or the other?? So why even offer it if NOBODY can spin it?? I keep getting told different things & hear of other donors getting the same things i should have got too. Its aggrivating.
Great staff and is very nice and helpful I recommend this place and also rarely packed in the mornings.
I love this place the employees are great they are professional and never have let me down.
It's a very nice place n very nice staff here to. I've had nothing but good experience when I come
Everyone here is professional and it's an easy process coming in and going out. (Was told to post a review to get a $20 bonus)
The staff is very friendly..the environment is very clean and I would highly recommend the BPL PLASMA to anyone who would like to donate in helping saves life's...thx alot great job and keep up the good work ??????????
The staff here is both skilled and friendly. Clean and well maintained environment.
I would have to say being a donor here has been a great experience, staff is always friendly and they have always been willing to work with me with any questions have or concerns . So thank you biomat
One of the staff members was very rude unprofessional needs to be evaluated again didn't like her response of getting my headphones from my vehicle it very very rude and this just happened rite now
Very nice and friendly staff, make the process quick and easy. Highly recommended ??????
Very helpful polite the women there are fine as hell and gentle when sticking you very professional and they know what there doing.
THE STAFF IS GREAT JESSE CALLED ME TO SEE HOW MY VISIT WENT HES THE MANAGER MELLISSA AND TONY AND OTHER PHLEBOTOMIST WERE ALL VERY NICE AND HELPFUL THIS CENTER IS BY FAR THE FASTEST AND MOST PEACEFUL RESPECTFUL PLACE TO DONATE 5 STARS ALL DAY LONG THANX
If your going to donate blood I would suggest u not to come to this place they have unqualified people working here that don't know what they are doing. They will probably make you pass out because they do not follow correct protocol and restrooms were very dirty !
The staff is always friendly and do their jobs quickly and efficiently.
Never again I'll come here... under trained people they don't know what their doing... They will mess you up... ..DONT GO HERE AT ALL..
Hey the people are great! Great attitudes and they move pretty quick even when packed!
I've been here 3 times and have had great experiences all 3 times.
By far the best plasma center in Houston. Pays the best out of all the plasma centers in Houston. Vernon knows how to run the show. Well staffed and quick service. I'm in and out in an hour and a half on Wednesdays and Fridays.
I really just gave these ppl 1 pint of my invaluable plasma for $30 I know I won't make a difference but if all steps up and not donate here I'm 100 percent sure we make a change we not cracks heads we ppl tryna get by in life
Very clean facility and helpful staff. Everything is explained very well to new donors and hours of operation are very convenient.
Hi my hi my name is Blanca and I come to Biomat they are a wonderful staff very well respected very clean place and since the first day I started donating it's been a wonderful place it helps to save lives and I would really appreciate it if you could come and save lives too lives matter thank you
Great hospitality and a great pace of work. Keep up the good work.Best experience at a donation place ever!
This place is clean and the employees are helpful and very nice I had a very good experience
The staff is very courteous, there are no long waits in line. Also,donating helps others to remain healthy.
Plasma donors can get disqualified for a list of different reasons, which may result in a temporary or a permanent deferral. Common reasons people get a temporary disqualification may include being dehydrated, taking certain medications, getting a tattoo within the last 4 months, or being pregnant in the last 6 months.
Donating plasma can get busy with donors and long waiting times. To donate plasma faster, choose a plasma center that allows you to book an appointment online and take your health screening questionnaire remotely from home. Additionally, call your local plasma center and ask for the least busy days and times of the week.
Most phlebotomists recommend that you take a day off from working out or lifting weights on the same day as your plasma donation. Instead, take the day to rest, eat well, and drink plenty of water after your donation.
Plasma donors are legally capped at two donations per week or 7-day period, with at least 48 hours in between each donation.
Before your plasma donation, it's recommended that you drink plenty of water (4-6 eight-ounce glasses), and eat a meal with high protein and iron content. Avoid drinking alcohol and smoking on the same day as your donation.
