I love the fact Ebony took time out to help me get my bonus pay and it was 7 mins to closing and I really needed those funds. Ebony always has had a great attitude since I been coming to Grifols. Also Karina is great at sticking me. I had a bad experience before and Karina sticks me now and I would recommend her. 5 stars.
Misael & V were very professional. Misael was working the front desk and did my physical he was helping me and 4 other people with precision and steadfastness. V did my plasma and blood take and she did the needle effortlessly and painless and she was very good with describing how the machine works and with accurate instructions nicely and calmly very nice place will return.
I've had several disappointing experiences at this donation center, and today was no different. Despite all my levels being good except for protein, I was immediately deferred without even being offered a retest. The staff member?s response felt dismissive and lazy, as if my time and effort didn't matter. On top of that, check-in was late?again?which seems to be a recurring issue at this location. Donors deserve to be treated with professionalism and respect, and unfortunately, that has not been my experien
They take all day checking you in. It's only one person working the front desk all the time which takes all day to check in I was supposed to check in at 1 but didn't get to the back till 1:30 because it was nobody in the front and nobody hears us come in. Just sad. And when you do get back there to give blood that's another 30 minutes all the staff do is talk to eachother and walk pass people who still haven't started pumping yet and will just sit and talk over beeping monitors the staff is very sad and id
I'm not sure what's going on a few staff members are no longer here and the quality of service has left with them. You can SURELY tell.
I had a great experience at the Grifols Plasma Center in Lancaster! The staff was friendly, professional, and made me feel comfortable throughout my visit. The center was clean and well-maintained, and they took the time to explain everything clearly. I really appreciate their focus on safety and the care they took to ensure I had a positive experience. I highly recommend Grifols Plasma in Lancaster.
Barely answer the phone ??I had important questions they keep declining call when I try call center.
Clean facility. Nice people. But..... You don't get paid until Maybe 30 mins after you leave. If you need the money fast, don't come here. only place I've been to that doesn't pay you as soon as you get up from the table. I'm currently 12 minutes into a wait at the gas station, waiting for my money to deposit.
Horrible wait times appointment was at 5:30 showed up at 5:15 and I don't get to back till 6 something n haven't got connected to machine till after 6:30
Super slow u make appointment first no reason not the cleanest place
Sydonia is the sweetest. I love donating and all my friends. This place is one of the nicest places to go and they are gentle and welcoming. The pay is nice. I give them 10 STARS!
Very friendly, love that they are open on weekends!
Disappointed by the lack of teamwork among the staff. Communication was poor, leading to confusion and unnecessary wait times. Additionally, the staff's interactions felt impersonal, which detracted from the experience of helping a good cause. I hope management can improve these aspects for a better donor experience.
This is the second year I've been donating here. The facility is still immaculate. The staff are still so friendly and kind. Promotions are still great. I actually look forward to donating here.
one of the phlebotomist inserted the needle wrong & showed absolutely no remorse for it, didn't ask if I was okay or anything! another girl had to come fix her mistake. (she was amazing) left me w bruising for 2+weeks.
Sat on the lobby for 40 minutes even though i had an appointment. The black receptionist kept helping other black customers, while i was the only hispanic in the lobby. Ive been donating for a year at this location, but i wont be back here.
I came to donate today and was really blown away by the staff today. They all was smiling and really made me feel welcoming to donate. Sonya the nice lady in the front gave me my physical and she really made it fly by. They told me I was going to be here for 2 hours so I can donate but I enjoyed my experience donating today. Definitely coming back to this location.
I've been coming here for over 3 months and I wouldn't go anywhere else. They are always very friendly , the facility is always clean and I have not had one issue with them finding my vein. Maria is AWESOME at what she does along with Olivia, Syd, Laura & honestly all the other ladies too. They all make it a fun & great experience while I'm here! My only suggestion is better reward programs but besides that I highly recommend It here!!
It's just me Or a good portion of the younger ladies that work here just love making conversation with the males and don't pay much attention to the women no conversation no nothing
The workers here are the best mixture of professional, knowledgeable, and down to earth! They're really easy to talk to and they make sure you're comfortable throughout the entire donation process. I havent had a single bad experience in the last couple months I've been here. They have great rates for new donors and are quick to attend you as your walk in. The donor area is sanitary, neat and organized as well! Great job to the entire team here!
I love going to this location! Everyone is so nice, polite and professional! They are very fast and always do their best to get you in and out. I always have a great experience here. I highly recommend this location A++
The staff here is amazing, they are always working hard to get you in and out in a timely manner! They are very helpful with any questions you may have. All of the lab techs are amazing but Olivia & Eli & Karlie are beyond exceptional, keep up the great work ladies! Highly recommended
Lancaster Biomat has great staff/employees. Eriana is the best!!
This place needs 0 stars . It's this one disrespectful black lady that always wear a lot of make up and colors lip stick always disrespectful and very rude . Main reason why stop donating is because of her . So I decided to rejoin to donate yesterday and the same fat lady always be so rude to me for no reason .. she was not proactive at all . Very distasteful soul .. she definitely needs to be fired . She's too comfortable with her position. I'm a nurse as well and I would never be mean , disrespectfu
Such a great place to donate. I always feel welcome and appreciated. Staff are all professional, yet kind and friendly. Naudia, fairly new to the staff, was amazing today, she did an awesome job. Always a pleasure to come in and see everyone, thank you.
Staff was very nice and friendly. Unfortunately, I was not allowed to donate plasma because they were only able to find one viable vein(Biomat policy). They were able to draw a blood specimen to send to there lab to check my protein levels but I needed two(2) viable veins to donate plasma. Protein levels passed their tests but I deeply apologize for that unknown person's life that I possibly could have saved by being able to donate plasma.
I do not recommend this place, the donation fees are low. They are always backed up despite not having many customers in line , never anyone to acknowledge or greet you at the door and the staff is almost ALWAY CONSTANTLY RUDE! No name tags so you cannot report them! Their phlebotomist are hit and miss and they will definitely hurt you when they stick you. They are closed on Monday and close early on Fridays and Saturday which is very inconvenient. I would never recommend anyone else to come her I'm tired
Exceptional service. Ask for Ebony Lee.
This place USED to be so great. Quick and efficient, you would walk in, sign in to the kiosk, sit down and wait to be called to a booth. But now the process it tedious and annoying. You have to sign in on a piece of paper instead, WAIT for them to call your name just so you can sign in to the kiosk. Then wait some more to be called to a booth. The waiting time has increased INCREDIBLY since this change was made. Now it's 30-45 minutes just to get back to a chair, it's absolutely ridiculous! I do not blame t
I'm going to give them a one star review. This facility is a clean facility most of the employees are nice and friendly except one or two who are not..... Congratulations to the dummy that decided to close the facility on Mondays and be UNDERSTAFFED on Sundays and Tuesdays. What a poor job. There is no reason why a donor should have to wait an additional 10 to 15 minutes to be disconnected after donating because there are not enough employees on duty.Yall need to do better! By the way, the donor pay could
No issues with the staff, there's just not enough of them. It takes forever to get checked in. There's not enough people on the floor to get you hooked up in a reasonable amount of time. It has taken 40 or more minutes to get hooked up the last several weeks. Considering finding a different place to donate.
This is absolutely the CLEANEST and the most comfortable One I've ever been to. Shelby Is by far the sweetest professional phlebotomist, I've had the pleasure in meeting. The entire staff is polite and fast. I've never ever spent 2-3 hours there, Even when I was a New donor. Keep up the great work everyone!!!!
I have been coming here for about a year now and I can honestly say it's a home away from home. All of the staff is nice and friendly with no problem handling any issues that may surface. I've always had a smooth visit and greeted with a smile every time I've walked through the door. I would recommend this particular center to anyone!!!!
Awesome place! The entire staff is friendly and make sure that you are ready to donate for the first time by making it as stress-free as possible. Highly recommend if you want to help with medicine that goes to other people and want to make a bit of cash while doing it
Awesome place where people care and are very respectful to each other and make a difference in this world! I just cant understand why they took away the loyalty cards and have been going lower and lower on there compensation for there people that have been coming there for years? They said they are going to do something to replace the loyalty cards but haven't seen it yet? Proverbs 31:8 somebody has to speak up!
Very unfriendly and seems like this location just don't like to work cause they gave every excuse in the book not to let new people in this month . Some of the staff could use additional training as well! It took 3 people to look at my vain to say that they couldn't do it . Never have I had a problem before nor have I been turned down cause of my vains. They are huge if you can't stick them then I think yall should go to school again and learn how to do the job correctly .
Always polite, friendly and responsive! Unlike the rude , dirty, and unpleasant experiences from other clinics. This place is by far one of a kind with some of the best staff I've ever met at a donation center. Very attentive to all their donors, despite the possibility of being understaffed.
I have been a donor here since February 2015 and have seen many staff members come and go. Whenever I walk in I am greeted by name and I feel like the staff is extended family. They always ensure that all of everything is ok. Keep up the excellent work you guys in enabling me to continue to help those needing the plasma therapy.
I'm a returning donor and I must say that the service is greater as it's ever been. The wait time is short, the staff members are very nice and professional. My phlebotomist Maria is so cheerful, she just brightened up my day. Thank you Grifols Biomat for the pleasant experience. Plus I donated 10 times in a 60 day period!!!! Yay, big reward.
I came here a while back it was my first time donating, they explained everything so well and made me feel really comfortable. Maria made sure I was doing okay and really showed she cared about my comfort level .
The Staff at the Lancaster Biomat are very friendly and professional. The facility is clean and comfortable. I enjoy coming and seeing their smiling faces. Come check them out!
I've been donating here for the past few months. This was my first experience EVER donating. VERY nice staff. Respectable & presentable. Very sanitary. Nice bonuses, decent pay. I would definitely recommend. Even on busy days they do awesome!
Love this place. Everyone is always so nice and makes you feel welcome and comfortable. I've never had a problem and they make me want to come back!
Awesome place to donate. Friendly staff with sense of urgency. Highly recommend if you're wanting to save lives and earn a little money while doing so??
Great staff that always takes care of you! They make sure the facility is clean and very kind. The staff always makes you laugh and love to joke! They definitely will make you laugh. I recommend 1000x you will not regret coming to biomat Lancaster
Great Staff! Always Clean, and Welcoming when I come to donate. Definitely one of the best donation centers, they're always there if you have any questions or concerns.
The staff here are very passionate about their jobs. They are gentle and trustworthy with such serious work. This is my home plasma center and it wouldn't be what it is without it's great team members ! Thank you Biomat for allowing me to make a difference.
Overall, the associates are very professional, the facility is clean and they do their very best to get you in and out. I would definitely recommend this facility to anyone wanting to donate plasma that lives in the area. The Lancaster facility can sometimes be very busy if you go in at peak times. They only have two computers that work for signing in. This causes confusion and frustration for donors and employees. The process is a bit confusing because you can only donate two times per week. You have s
Staff is always polite and efficient. I'm in and out pretty quickly. It's an easy way for me to make some extra cash and I can watch Netflix on my phone while earning it.
They are always AWESOME!!! They never disappoint. I have been donating for 18 Months and never had a bad experience. The staff and techs are friendly, professional and always helpful to take care of me while I donate. I am a lifer... ??
I stopped coming here because they are so slow. The turn over rate is terrible, the employees TALK TO EACH OTHER TOO MUCH. All they do is complain, I'm okay with a few of them... but customer service is not there. What made it worse is when they took the TVs away, then no signal on phones, to the bad internet, and just downhill from there. I know they switched internet providers or something now, but it's still not worth the service. I'm not even sure what this appointment thing is, cause all it seems to do
I been coming here for about 6 years now and their service has been great. I never had any problems with anything here and they will get you in and out fast. They are wonderful
This team is great and very courteous. They're very interactive with their donirs and strive to make sure that they are comfortable, safe, and comfortable while donating. Thank you guys for the services that you provide may God bless you in Jesus name.
I have been coming to Biomat Lancaster for 2-1/2 years now, and the techs and phlebotomists have become like an extended family to me ?. They process you through as quickly as possible, and are professional in their approach. They want you to have a good experience, and are very attentive to your needs. They are open 7 days a week now, and most holidays as well. i am usually in and out in 90 minutes. They are a well-run clinic ??
Never got paid. Been 2 weeks and they still can't figure out how to give me a new card. Wish I could give them no stars
My experience has always been good. I have felt respected and taken care of by the screeners, the technicians and management. I always have confidence that they will do everything they can to make my donation go well.
I have been coming here for years and have never been disappointed. The customer service is exceptional. everyone is super friendly and they get you in and out in great time.
Never a bad experience here! Everyone is so nice and keeps a positive energy which makes for a great donation process. Darius and Olivia are a fun dynamic duo!!!
Is a Great place to donate, everyone is so nice and polite especially Mrs.Latasha ,I recommend this location to everyone.
You spend like almost a whole hour waiting to get connected to a machine.. they want you to do appointments for you to be there a whole 3 hrs later..smh.
I have been donating since I recovered from Covid-19 in 2020. All the workers are very nice and professional. The office is very clean and follows safety guidelines. Not only do you help others but you also receive compensation.
I've been donating here for about a year now. The staff is very nice and patient with you and answer any questions you may have. They also have different extra rewards for donating. I definitely recommend coming here.
I switched to here from CSL Plasma. This location is so great!!! They're very hands on with the patients/donors. They actual care to listen and value your time. First and foremost they're very VERY clean and wipe down anything another patient has touched which is awesome. Every base on the medical standpoint gets covered and any concerns are thoroughly gone over. I hate needles and have small veins. Brenda in the back was very understanding of this and Taylor was called over to stick me. Both ladies are ver
Everyone is always pleasant and attentive. Very clean, very organized. I enjoy donating at this location. Very informative if you ever have any questions. I'm always in & out very quick.
This place is great. Quick and efficient. The techs/phlebotomists are amazing. My veins are tricky, they hide and roll, BUT 8 have 3 favorite techs that I choose from. Awesome place to donate!
This is the first place I have ever donated plasma with, and I am definitely going to stick with them! The entire staff is so welcoming and attentive. They have made each experience easy and enjoyable. I highly recommend Biomat in Lancaster to anyone willing and able to donate!
Amazing place to donate. The staff is very attentive and provides great customer service. The new donors' and return donors' wait are short compared to other plasma centers in the area. Accessible parking.
I have donated going on five years now. Clean facility, knowledgeable employees. Liked it so much I have joined the team. Nicest people you ever want to meet..
Ms Unis and Sandra makes you feel welcomed and comfortable every visit. You can tell there passion and cares. This is the one in Lancaster,Tx. Off Pleasant Run Rd. Keep up the good work. Because of you all and helping me to understand the lives I will be helping. I come every week sometimes every other week. Thanks!
the staff is great and always friendly!! they make you feel comfortable during your donation process. I've been donating for years and this is hands the best center i've been to!!!
Best plasma center I been too! They keep it very clean and make sure your are comfortable. Never had any issues and would recommend this center for anyone looking to donate
I was so nervous at first but I really had a great experience. The staff were all friendly and sweet. I will 100% be going back.
This is my second time here, the staff are very educational and attentive to your needs. Everyone I met has been very nice. Looking forward to coming back!
The reason I stopped coming to begin with. 3 hours before I made it to the bed. After I made it to the bed only to sit there another 30 minutes while employees kaylee h. and maria walked around talking and taking their time. Entire process took over 4 hours.
This is the best plasma center I have ever gone to. The staff is pleasant, caring and professional. The management is always on standby ready to assist. The phlebotomist Karlie is great at what she does. My experience here is like no other. Thank you Grifiols Biomat in Lancaster, TX.
Tony Steed... Biomat Lancaster has been the best center to visit since I've started donating plasma. They're very friendly, professional, and caring to everyone. And I'm glad to be a part of the family.
Great people, great place and a fun attitude. A good way to make a little extra cash while giving back to the community. I've donated before at other locations and can say I've enjoyed donating here the most.
Biomat plasma is the best place to donate at versus another center. They have always been my favorite regardless any of the other facilities I visited. I definitely enjoy the staff. So what's stopping y?all from visiting them too. Donor Amy H
I want to take this time to give Shawtia a positive review, this isn't really enuff for her effort today! A guy was telling one not to poke him anymore after making the mistake twice, and Shawtia saved the day by staying calm and fixing the error with perfection! Great job!!! Guy was so happy afterwards!
this location was probably the best location I've donated to. even though there was a need for me to re-due my screening, they also gave me a connivence fee to make up for it. everyone was kind and helpful. i normally have to do resticks or theres blood flow problem. so i was pleased with not having any trouble with my sticking and that everything went well. very likely to stick to this center!
My goodness my whole experience was nothing short of spectacular?.the whole staff was very professional and helpful during the whole procedure I would recommend anyone to come to this site. Thank you Maria!!!!
The staff at the Lancaster location is amazing! They are attentive and efficient at taking care of you. I highly recommend them if you are wanting to give back and help people through plasma donation.
This is a great place to donate and help other people. The staff are very helpful and nice. There are very attentive.Laura, Karina, Maria and Olivia are amazing. Truly everyone there is ??.
Everyone is so welcoming and helpful if you have any questions. I've been going for years, but most of the faces have changed but the atmosphere has not.
Staff is absolutely polite and professional. They care and attention to detail shows in their work as they see to it each person is well taken care of and comfortable.
I've been donating all year so far never had any problems, always satisfied with the members, the employees, the staff, I know it's helping people because I've had both a wife and a son be in the hospital and know it is important to donate. I will continue to donate I have nothing but good experiences with Biomat.
I began donating because of my financial strains, but I continue to donate because I have found a center that makes me feel like I actually am helping someone. Caring and efficient staff. Mad love for Biomat Lancaster.
I absolutely love this place, they are super nice, always helpful with any questions I have. I will refer all of my friends and family here.
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.
