Customer Reviews

I've been coming to this grifols for over a year now. I've gotten to know many of the employees by name and we've had lots of great conversations. The only changes I've seen here have been for more efficiency, most of the time for the donation process. Christian up front and in medical is always helpful and friendly. I request to have either Dakota, Angelica, Phillip and don't forget Jackie on the floor ?stick? me because they are experienced and efficient. I always have a good experience here.

I've never really looked into plasma donation before?always thought it was kind of Fugazi, LMFAO. But after hearing from close friends and family who donate regularly, I figured I'd give it a shot. They all described it as quick, painless, and seamless? well, my experience was the complete opposite. I booked my appointment for 1:30 PM at what's supposedly the highest-rated facility in my area. I arrived on time, completed the check-in process, and was told it wouldn't be long before I could start. Fast for

Always welcoming .. Angela is always up beat and smiling.. i have not had a bad experience . Everyone from the front to the back are friendly and happy . The nurses are helpful . All in all the staff is great ..

Amazing staff all around. Everyone is always very friendly and attentive. They always make the process as quick and easy as possible. Shoutout Aubrey, Selena, Jackie, Priscilla, Phil, Angelica.

Thank you for your amazing hospitality. Aubri get me screened quick and actually holds conversations with you. The ladies in the back keep me in check because those chairs are really comfy and I be falling asleep

I love coming to Grifols!! Arianna in reception is always friendly and knowledgeable about any questions you have! All the employees at Grifols are amazing!! Let me not forget my girl Selena in the back!! Thanks Grifols

Quick, clean, and professional. The staff at Griphon Plasma Donation make the whole process easy and comfortable. It gets really cold in the back, so bring a hoodie and sweats.

I just love the people here and the vibe I always feel welcome and thankful that I'm helping people. Thank you for the great staff such as Christian, Aubrey, and Candace.

Amazing staff always very kind and attentive especially Christian, Aubrey, and Candace and big shout out to the guy named Emmanuel!!

The people here, at Grifols, are amazing. They're friendly, professional, and they know how to take care of you. If you want to help others, and could also use extra cash, I highly recommend coming here. I've been coming here to donate since April 2023. They are wonderful at what they do.

You get excellent service by donating Plasma it's good for you because they pay you and you are helping other people with auto immune deficiency's, hemophilia and other disordersAngelica and the rest of the staff are wonderful

Longtime donor! Usually a smooth process with a chill atmosphere to relax while donating. Always recommend my pals to try it out! My only real complaints are the chairs while waiting to be screened? there's not enough room to pass by people already seated and it's super inconvenient sometimes. Most of the staff are lovely, although I personally find Angelica very unpleasant to speak to, plus how rough she is with donors is painful. There's another girl with brown hair that seems like she absolutely hates th

The staff here is wonderful the facility is neat and clean as well

Aubrey, Christian and Candace are always a great help and super friendly especially Nina and Emmanuel!!

Arianna & Aubri are the nicest and most knowledgeable people I know they're always helpful with everything I need.

Everything has improved! From wait time, to the staff?s ability to efficiently do there jobs yet providing a happy environment! The equipment has also improved so much that they get new donors and regular donors in and out in a timely manner! Remember your helping someone in need of your donation! The time it takes is a movie away from being some extra $ money in your pocket!!

love the staff .. some more than others "wink" going to miss yall when I fly back to Hawaii add me on FB Man Knight

Arianna and Aubri were the best when I went to donate , they were very very helpful and talked me through the whole process !!

I live coming here everyone is so great especially Candace, Christian, and Arianna!!

I love going to donate to save lives, Arianna and Aubri are the best and their customer service is very top tier !! :)

Good place. Friendly people. Emanuel and Christian are amazing.

I have been donating plasma on & off for around 10 years. Today was my most recent donation, and I was in & out in about an hour. Fast, friendly & you're helping people who need it... one day it may be your own life you're saving.

Christian, Angelica and the crew, are always super nice and efficient. Always happy to donate here!

They are doing a great job. From Arianna in the front to Phillip, Selena, Hackie and the rest of the techs in the back. Pay is quick to be on your card and it's easy to get in and out. Thanks for always taking care of us!

I've done 55 donations here and have seldom had trouble. Very little wait time and the process moves fast. If you got a couple of hours time on your hands I highly recommend. Donor 3304

They so nice here and good donor and laid back workers

Angelica and Kristy very happy pleasant friendly love coming back

I started donating to pay for Christmas and kept donating because it's easy money

Friendly service, clean location, fair compensation

Christian Emanuel was a good help for me today as usual

I love all the plasma employees they are all respectful and make you want to donate plasma

Great establishment, friendly workers.

Candace and all the staff here are amazing here love this place!!!!

Love biomat! Shout out to Christian, Emmanuel, Angelica n Aubrey!!! ????

Nice way to make a few extra bucks for gas or for other expenses. Some days the process moves along fairly quickly, other times it'll be packed and will take forever to get in and out of there despite efforts from staff. They are always helpful and friendly even when they are swamped with work. There will be times when the person sticking knows what they're doing and the donation goes by quickly and without problems but if the person that sets you up doesn't know what they're doing, you're gonna be stuck do

I have a good experience everytime come

Usually pretty solid. Seems to be constantly understaffed, but most of the employees are pretty pleasant to chat with. Christian answering the phone today was an exception she/he wasn't exactly helpful and refused to answer questions though.

Angelica is a great phlebotomist and is always helpful. ??

This place is good, staff is nice, and your in and out within short amount time. Definitely my go to donation center. Great job team ?? - Mark Zuckerberg

The employees make this much easier for me. I'm not a needle fan and they make it a lot easier to deal with. I appreciate them more for that. The overall atmosphere is 9 out of 10. Would recommend this place to anyone.

Amazing staff and amazing service

Pleasant experience every time I go. Quick and easy. Great staff, everyone?s super friendly. Well kept place. Always clean. Great way to make some extra cash. All around its very amazing and awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!! I would 10/10 recommend

Such a friendly environment to be in when getting stuck by a needle! My first time I was super nervous but they explained everything very well and comforted me. They are also super good with waiting time, they get you in and out very quickly.

I have never been to another center so I can't compare but they are very good at the Wichita falls center. Especially in the last few months they have gotten quicker and more efficient. The place is always clean and the staff is helpful and professional.

Great customer service, always polite and will help you with any questions you have! Very clean and professional! Also a great way to get some extra money & help saves lives! Would highly recommend!

Great place friendly staff and donors and great fees and bonus pay outs .

I just want to thank Melanie Garcia for always taking care of my veins as if they were hers own and for staying with the initial stick until it cooperates throughout the donation your customers services are absolutely amazing and untouchable Grifols should be happy to have !!!! I know I sure and blessed that you're an employee here.

I was told my first 4 donations were $100 each. I received $100 each for the first 3 and only $40 for the 4th donation

I love coming here. It's a great way to make a little extra money and also help people. I also enjoy socializing with everyone. I haven't had a bad experience with them yet.

The staff were very nice and thorough! They let me know what was to be expected since it was my first time! I did have an issue with my hand going numb but it was resolved quickly and we switched to the other arm. Since I have tiny veins the other arm bruised very easily and a hematoma developed! But I'm going back next week after the arm heals!! Highly recommended! Good people!! ????

I love donating here. Been donating with biomat for over a year now. They have a very nice and welcoming staff.

Great staff and ease of donating.

I absolutely love this place and the people! Everyone is always so friendly. They make my weekly visits even better. I will continue to come twice a week. Thanks guys are are very much appreciated.

Plasma place has improved so much since I had last been here (company change) and I am so glad it's been a better experience for me. The staff is nice and will keep you informed, and want to make sure you're comfortable when you donate. Updated machines are nice and the process to get to the back is quick after your first time! I recommend if you like helping people get the plasma they need and to make some extra money! Thank you.

They r very polite, efficient & professional. The process is very sterile, fast & they have always gotten me on the first stick. I recommend them 2 ally friends. I'm a very pleased & satisfied customer.

Love the staff! They are friendly, have build rapport over time and I enjoy coming in to see them and also make a difference at the same time!

I come here all the time and almost everyone is great.the only thing is when this used to be a different company bpl, and Dci the managers would come out sit people and I only had one correct a stick for me before but they sit people that's it. I have also seen this manager, Gary is his name help out the lab too.

Terrible customer service, inexperienced staff, and they have you stand for long periods of time before checking your vital signs. A few good staff members make the process not as bad, but mostly rude staff with a know it all attitude. They have recently remodeled to make the building more appealing, but took out the seating for donors waiting to be processed, causing more failing than passing results. Staff spend more time gossiping with each other than actually working.

Best crew very friendly ?? little wait time . Makes you feel super comfortable and like a family . Been donating since Jan of 2022 and I'm a lifelong supporter now!! Keep up the great work ?? ??!!! I suggest everyone try it out if you can,helps alot people and the little extra $$ always helps ??. The best crew in town ??

Angelica US The Best. One you Got

Everytime I come to this place the ladies in vitals are super welcoming. They make it pleasant. When I get to the back the team is great. I couldn't ask for a better experience. Clean and efficient.

It use to be more personal. And now you stand waiting in line for over an hour that can cause your pulse rate to go up. They can't seem to keep good employees. Constantly hiring new people that don't know what they are doing to where they have to restick someone or cause them to go in to a hold because they can't get their blood back. They can be better. They used to be better.

Very skilled and and a straightforward process to donate. They educate you on what you're doing and why it's helpful to the communities and the lives of others. It's even easier coming back after the first visit.

Staff has attitude Towards doing they're job. Stands around and talks instead of checking on customers. Not worth going to at all. Staff is young and don't care about anything but talking to their friends. The machines mess up because new employee's are not properly trained then customers are punished by not receiving the full amount they were stuck for!! This place needs all new management.

I went there a student put a needle too far in my veins The next day I was black and blue. I started seeing stars and had to leave work early.

They are not very polite like when I'm sitting there after the plasma has been completed for up to 15 minutes. When I questioned the issue she got nasty with a smirk on her FACE . I thought they were supposed to be nice

A lot has changed at BPL for the better! The time it takes to donate has gotten better. The entire staff is friendly, courteous and always have smiles on their faces. And of course all the little extra bonuses is a plus! Thank you to the whole staff for good experiences each time I donate!!!

Very skilled and friendly staff. Keeps things rolling. I'm never there more than 2 hours, and barely notice a difference in my days energy. A small price to pay for a very big difference in someone else's day. My only word of advice: make sure you are paying attention to your days for your donations. Their week runs monday to Sunday. So if you donate on a sunday then on a Tuesday, you dont get the second donation bonus until you donate again on sunday. All in all not a big issue, just wish the non standard

The staff is very friendly. Always very professional. Highly recommend. And I like helping other people the staff let's you do that

I have been going here for quite a while they are always so friendly and nice they answer any questions you have they never hesitate to help you at all no matter how busy they are

I have been coming to this facility for several years. I have seen some good and some bad and lots of changes. I am enjoying the donating process more now than I ever have. Very knowledgeable staff and for the biggest part the process time is amazing.

Christian does an amazing job.

Always a pleasure to come in and know that I am helping others as well as the extra cash to help out while I'm in school. Staff is always friendly and knowledgeable.

The folks there are most polite and professional workers. Fun folks to have a great laugh with! They're careful in their work an care about the people when we need help on our machine. All in all a great group of folks. (An anyone who walks in needs to go see Rebecca. If your having a bad day or just wanna laugh she's your go to gal haha. )

Use to be worth it. They use to care too. They no longer care. Theyll sit around and chit chat while having (I counted 6 workers this morning). People have jobs too yall. Some people dont do this for the money but actually helping. They dont care. Last 3 weeks its been like this. Just not worth it any more. Must suck for the workers who actually care.

The staff is wonderful. It feels wonderful to be able to make a difference! I recommend everyone donate and make a difference. You get paid for doing something we would do for free just to help save lives!

Angelicais a great phleb and very sweet

The phlebotomist was a great stick and caused me zero discomfort. He was awesome. All of the people working here a nice and make it a pleasant experience.

Great place. The team is professional, kind and helpful. I'm happy to have donated and even happier it's going to people who really need it.

I have been coming here for years and the staff are always friendly and well trained! They are fast and accommodating!

This is a great gig if you're hurting for some extra cash. The phlebotomist are usually pretty cool and know what they're doing... mostly, anyways. Only reason they're getting 4 stars is because they keep lowering our payments ever month. It's decreased $40 since I started. Y'all can get the 5th star when we start getting the payouts we used to ??

Staff is very friendly and professional. Very clean facility. Staff is also more than willing to answer any questions you might have or concerns. Definitely recommend. ????

I went to donate, and while watching the required videos the people that work there accidentally deferred me for the day (for not watching the videos). That's fine, people make mistakes. They gave me a $20 inconvenience pay and told me to return the next day. I came back the next day (I was assured they knew I was returning) and they wouldn't let me donate because they weren't accepting new donors. So needless to say I won't be returning.
