Customer Reviews

Staff is nice but they are ALWAYS short staffed! starting to seem like the money is not worth the wait and wasted time. Bathrooms are out of supplies and dirty.

The best Clinic and people I ever meet in my life. I feel all of them like my family ?????? They have a lot of patience with me and all my Drama and comedy between me and nettles I do come up every time I'm there, they know me anymore.....?? I can only say that they changed my life positively. I got some special love for all of em, but specially for Kimberly the most beautiful Nurse I meet in my life ?? she is so amazing beautiful inside and out ?? Happy Thanksgiving ???? Thank you ?? Marco Signorelli

If I had a 6th star to give them I most assuredly would. The staff here are second to none and I am grateful for the whole bloody lot of them. Plus it's conveniently located next to the best taqueria in town so come show them some love , help save lives and treat yourself to a taco afterwards. It's a win win ( wait , that's across the street ??)

Nat is amazing! She provides exceptional customer service & attention to detail made my experience unforgettable. She went above & beyond to ensure everything was perfect. She's always so welcoming & friendly !

Understaffed!!! There is only ever one person doing the readings and handling the front desk which happens to be the most slowest person working the front. It takes two hrs just to get to the back and no one knows what there doing

Grifols is a great facility. I've only had great experiences. Very clean, very efficient, and all the staff is very knowledgeable, especially Natalie. This is the best donation center I've been to compared to others in Moreno Valley, highly recommend.

I've been coming here for almost a year and a half now and this has been a great place in every aspect to give plasma donations! All of the staff are truly professional, patient and nice. I come here nearly twice a week and mostly all of my donations have got smoothly with no major issues. Phlebotomist Elizabeth and Nurse Brian are awesome! I highly recommend this location! ~Dom

Thank you to Natalie Garcia who is always welcoming and caring every single time I donate, Every time I come in she greets me with a smile and good costumer service. I enjoy Grifols very much!

Very clean and organized. Everything went very smoothly. I was treated with respect and kindness. Shout out to Rosemary! I'll be back for my second donation soon!

All is fine nicest people. Restrooms never have soap. I have been going for 6 months, twice a week and no hand soap. Feels unsanitary.

Was hesitant at first to try donating here, Brianna made my experience comfortable and worry free. She has a light hand therefore everything was pain free. i?d definitely recommend to those wanting to donate for their first time.

This was my fourth donation here and I love the atmosphere and the staff are SOOO respectful and friendly. My first time meeting the phlebotomist Brianna and she was so professional and kind. Keep it up guys! I'll be donating a lot more here.

It's a pretty cool place. The people are nice. The pay is decent.A hundred dollars for your first four times isn't bad

I been going here for a few months now and the atmosphere is phenomenal. Everybody here is super sweet and nice but Joseph and Aaron are above the best I highly recommend this place.

I first donated here back in December mostly because of the new donor bonus. I didn't really like this place so I did not come back until I received a "we miss you" email with a bonus offer. After donating there this week I do not plan on returning. The reasons I initially didn't like this place is due to not trusting the phlebotomists there. Most do not seem to have much experience. I've had 2 bad pokes in 8 donations. They could use some training from the other plasma place in town, where the phlebotomis

I want to give a huge shout out to natalie for being so kind and very caring for patients who come in, i was having a bad day and went in and she genuinely cared and made me feel comfortable, that's rare now days, the whole time i was donating she kept checking up on me making sure i was well. Thank you grifols for your lovely employees

I wanna thank nat for being very welcoming and friendly! She makes sure I'm comfortable and is always happy to be here! She the reason I come to this location!

Staff is unprofessional there's never a worker at the front desk came here donated one of the workers stuck my arm wrong it was stinging so bad I had a big bubble on the side of my arm swollen it bruised my arm so bad it didn't heal till a month later took months to go away the bruise was so bad it was blue black purple no one asked me if I was ok only gave me an ice pack n that was it I couldn't donate anymore because of them!!!! They messed me up so bad n I did not once get an apology from anyone not even

I've been donating at this location for a long time. The staff is very respectful and they always attend to me with kindness. Phlebotomist Aaron makes me feel comfortable every time I donate. I love that I am in and out quickly thanks to the attentive staff. This makes it easy for me to donate then go to work.

Highly recommend very professional and great at their job my favorite phlebotomist is Evelyn H such a sweetheart gorgeous and hard worker and understands my complicated veins.

Lack of communication no one even gives you any kind of response when you walk in and they never answer the phone when you call even if you have an appointment they just call whoever they want up BioLife is better

I have donated at different Plasmas centers but this one is definitely one of the fastest ones and cleanest one I've been too. Very quick service even the bathrooms are kept tidy. The lobby is always nice and open and not too busy. The parking lot is nice and spacious and not full of transients and handicap accessible. I was also very impressed by Erica and Evelyn?s professionalism and their knowledge in the field in which they're in. Other staff members also carry a very postive attitude and truly seem to

the Blood pressure machines are literally a joke they never work!!! You can get better blood pressure machine from TEMU! Will waste your time if you drive far i have been to many plasma donations centers this kind of overlook literally will lose clients to donate plasma i literally seen an entire room full of people not able to donate due to there blood pressure machine you think they would invest money so they can make money on plasma these Facilities are nice appointments are great but not investing in

I've never donated before GRIFOLS and I'm so grateful I started here. The staff is cery nice and outgoing definitely Jessica. She is amazing and goes out of her way to make sure donors are comfortable and it's breathtaking to have someone tend to you that actually cares. The rest of the staff is also amazing and wonderful people but Jessica made me not scared of needles and makes the process goes by wonderful. If you're thinking about donating go there quick!

Star is very professional,polite an willing to help you with anything at Grifols Plasma. Id say she one of my favorite with others here.

The starting process was simple for me done thoroughly by staff. Staff was attentive caring and helpful. They know what they are doing from a customer service aspect and I have yet to feel any discomfort in my 4 visits

I enjoy donating at this place because everyone seems pleasant and I enjoy the appointment system. Saydi does a great job sticking me and I appreciate it. Also want to mention my anxiety goes up when a new person sticks me for the first time so I was extremely relieved when Star stuck me today and did great. Also want to mention Andre ge always seems very polite and professional. Last but not least, bring back the $45/$80 pay and keep up the bonuses...it keeps us donors coming back.

Fast and easy normally. Like the appointment fast track. Sayde was very professional & personal.

If you need a little extra money and you want to do a good dead come here to donate plasma. They are good at what they do! It's a long process if you are a first time patient so be prepared to be here a few hours.

Good luck getting someone on the phone. I've tried calling all day and no one's answered.

This place is great they get you in fast and staff is very helpful making you feel comfortable with small talk. ! Chloe and Briana are professionals at what they do and FOUND MY VEIN were as other centers could not. Bless these workers and staff!!!??

Grifols is a great place to Donate great staff and atmosphere thanks for making me smile Saydi keep up the good work

Friendly knowledgeable staff, everyone is so pleasant and kind. Comfortable chairs.

People don't go to this location is no good you have any problems you only get paid 10 dollars be careful

This location is my favorite place to donate plasma. They have been increasing their fees which is a big plus for me. The staff is very friendly and make my donation process go by fast. They always help me make appointments around my busy work schedule.

Better service than ever before. All around great staff.

Their customer service is horrible. There's never anybody at the front desk. There's no one ever to answer your calls. They're extremely understaffed. Get it together Grifols! Unacceptable higher more people!! If I could give no star I would give a zero star rating. Biolife would Never! That's why they're more busier than you guys. There's always somebody there to answer your calls. When you call. There's always someone to greet you the minute you walk in. Unacceptable

Good sticks every time allowing great blood flow and faster donation times also allows less movement of needle

Staff is great and they do a good job of getting you in and out quickly! Facility is very clean. 2 stars off because they have sadly become the lowest paid plasma center. Almost anywhere else values their customers and pays them well.

Place is clean and staff is very good usually when it comes to finding veins. I didn't care when they lowered prices from time to time but the switch to BMI is probably the worst change they've ever made.

Great place fast appointments. Nice staff.

I like this place compared to others they are way more efficient and fast the pay is good and scheduling is easy online

Great people working here. Cain the phlebotomist is carful and ask questions.

It's a great staff! They adapt well with whomever comes through their doors. Very friendly n pretty patient with difficult people.

Been donating for 20yrs now, 4 at this location. Maria is very helpful, and bright. Daniella smile will make you fill welcomed and supportive during your time as well. This location has always kept great employees, best ever...

The staff is real nice ! I started donating on April 14th. They had a big banner outside saying, earn $600 in a month, for new donors. So I figured they start the 30 days after your 1st donation ? Which if that was true ? I should have gotten $75 dollars for each visit, at 8 visits would have came out to $600. But that wasn't true. On my 5 visit I was only given $35. So when I asked an employee she said, no you can make up to $600 in a month. That doesn't make any sense, either you do or don't? 8 visits at

The staff is super friendly. They all have a smile every time. Today, Jakerra, was very nice and friendly. Stephanie took her time to explain the care I need after my donation. Thank you ladies!!

I have donated at 5-10 different locations due to my work. I have never seen a staff as under trained and unprepared as this location. I had a donation take more than 2 hours due to the general staff and management staffs complete inability to solve a basic issue. Not only could they not solve the issue, but they put myself in danger and offered no answers as I kept asking why they couldn't solve the issue. Grifols needs to take a long look at this location and its management staff because they give the br

Hi I've been donating here for over 2 years. The staff is very nice. Christina and Shakira are some of my favorite lobotomist . You never feel the needle at all when they stick you. I had asked one of the new lobotomist evlin to please stop pulling the bandage off against the hair, go with the hair. She complained and made a report on me that I was being rude. She said I touched her hand, which I did not. I put my hand up above the bandage without touching her and said please stop because it hurts that way

Hey there hours of operation aren't correct says Sunday it's open buts closed today Sunday may 26th smh ....

Maria is by far the best staff member!! She's kind and welcoming. I know I'm in great hands when she's helping me. She does an awesome job every time.

The staff here has been telling me different things over the phone versus when I arrive in person. My first time donating I waited 6 hours when I had an appointment because they said they were understaffed. I kept having to reschedule my second appointment because they needed proof of address. Well I ordered something from Amazon and had it sent to my new address and over the phone they said I could provide a screenshot that it had been shipped. Well when I got there they said it needed to say the package h

Saydi and the other person who helped was good. Grifols is way more professional

Saydi helped me today she was fast professional and friendly

Cat is an amazing lady would highly recommend her she knows how to stick a person pain free and comfy. By far would continue to donate if she is the one sticking me. Evelyn on the other hand look out she will cause you pain and discomfort the whole time 5 stars for cat

Great experience everytime.Saydi is great and all the staff!!

Briana is a really good phlebotomist and so is Saydi. They the reason I made grifols home.

Been doing plasma here for years now never a bad experience and its comfy and cold so make sure you bring a blanket or sweater to keep warm as it does get chilly.everyone is friendly here especially ?Evelyn Phleb ?,shes good at sticking didn't feel it at all ,would recommend this plasma center , getting paid to help people.

Esther made the process so easy, comfortable and relaxing. She's has the best personality and takes pride in her job! I always look forward to seeing her.

Great experience... Friendly staff, process was quick and my phlebotomist Esther was very nice and had a very easy and smooth venipuncture/stick. I definitely recommend her

I have only donated blood once before coming here and I was really nervous. 12 donations later I have really enjoyed coming here because of the staff! Super helpful, great customer service, and excellent work on the needlework (the most challenging)! I also like the monthly promotions and the stress free check-in process!

The staff is nice but this place is severely understaffed. It is obvious the upper management doesn't really help with those who are working the floor. Every time I am here it takes no less than 2 hours every time due to low staff levels. And if the machines malfunction, good luck getting an employee to help fix the issue since they are running around like chickens with their heads cut off trying to get other people hooked up on a machine or taken off the machine. I would recommend going to another donation

My experience with Grifols was great. They have some of the best workers especially Evelyn and Daniela they always bring great energy and when I use to check in with the other Evelyn she was a nice and professional person.Also Jessica she was one of the first person I meet when I first started coming her professional experience , great personality n energy make me want to come back more.i thanks yall for the great experience coming.

Just want thank nat for her professionalism, I appreciate it

Best people they always make me feel so welcomed literally refuse to go anywhere else

I love coming here to donate plasma, because the staff is always super professional and attentive, always open availability its close to my college which is perfect before I donate for my classes.

The staff here is very friendly and professional. I always feel comfortable about the donation process when I come in to donate. Even when they're clearly understaffed overwhelmed, or told by corporate to pinch pennies, the floor staff never takes it out on the donors. The facility is clean, safe and modern. My only gripe is that they keep the temperature chilly in the donation room, so bring something that can be used as a blanket while you're on the donation couch. The cold temperature is why I gave 4 o

Rosemary was the nicest so early in the morning. Extremely patient with me. I have alot of resoect for what she does in hospitality and management.

Disgusting amount of time waisted here. How are you going to schedule an appointment and not assist that appointment for 2 hours exactly ??!? 2:30 pm app and took until 4:30 pm just to do a physical. We already know another hour doing that if we're lucky. Then who knows how long on the machines. ? I'll update as I waist another 4 hours. ..

They over booked and are so backed up and understaffed. They need to do there schedule different and not over book the apts. I've been here waiting for over an hour. This is really inconvenient. I scheduled around my jobs. And this is awful. My apt was at 11 and I've been here since 1045. And there's still like a dozen people in front of me.

Most of the staff is great?friendly and attentive, but there is one lady there who is very rude (I believe her name is Crystal) every time I see her or have to have any interaction with her! It's like I almost dread it when she comes over to either set me up or unhook me. It would have been 5 stars if it weren't for her

I love that you make your appointment at our convenience. Staff is friendly, they work well together, it's my choice to continue to go here instead of the other places. I don't have any issues with them at all.

If you don't have you ssc bring a W2 & Birth certificate. They use Watchdog to confirm your identity. Staff is helpful. Christiana was awesome. Alejandro is awesome. In the back Jennifer and another girl helped me and they did good. Calling could be a wait or no answer but come before 3pm to get in as a new donor. And check for the promo deals.

You spend more time waiting then giving plasma. They are really nice people working here but they take forever to check you in and sometimes even longer for them to start the process. You will have an appointment at 11am and you won't start until 12. If it didn't take long where I have had to cancel my appointment because I had other things to do because they were taking long. Again the people are great but the place as a whole does not care for your time.

Grifols plasma is the best in town. I love the set up the location and the staff is nice. I would recommend anyone to come here if they want to make a difference in others lives plus make a little money.

This place is under staffed nobody answers the phone when you call if you call the number they give you to complain they block you from coming back

This is one the best centers I've been to. All the staff is wonderful

I've been coming here for the past 2 months and it's been by far the best plasma center experience compared to the other two. The staff is amazing, so nice and they work to get us in and out. The process here is very direct and disciplined so I never usually spend more than an hour to an hour and half. Of all the plasma centers, this one is by far the good one!

The staff are always kind and understanding they always make sure your comfortable and always leaving. With a smile on your face. Brianna . D is always so helpful and so amazing and kind to me I was so nervous at first but now I go all the time because they make it that much easier ??

This place is Great...The staff is very friendly and helpful. My donation experience is wonderful every visit. I have recommended friends and family here. If your not sure about the experience all I can say is just give it a try...it's great for helping save a life and a little extra cash at the same time. It makes a difference

[Warning] If you're not interested in letting someone cause you bottle harm don't come here. Inexperienced phlebotomists are let loose on trusting people to do a deep dive into your arm there is no lead to watch them stick people. [Why not?] I watched a lady mess up 5 people's arms before she got to me and against my better judgment, I let her stick me. She went straight into my arm through my vein and began to dig as deep as she could till I told her to please stop. She got another person to come help fix

I followed the directions of the staff I made my appointment on line then I did the kiosk questions on my phone as well before coming to my appointment which was at 9 am. I got there early to check in got in line and waited for an hour before being seen then they told me my blood pressure was high.?? well of course my blood pressure is high because I've been standing in line for over an hour after my appointment time. That would stress anyone out! Don't believe what they say. Definitly schedule your appoint

Edited from my previous 5 star review. They recently decreased payouts on your first donation of the week which is absolutely ridiculous, especially since this is one of the few locations around the area that do plasma donations. Some people depend on these payouts and the fact that they undoubtedly only did this to lessen traffic and save themselves money is horrible. Do better.

The first plasma center I have ever donated! Amazing service! The front desk ladies are so sweet & facility is always clean. Christiana was my nurse today and she was amazing ?? very professional & friendly! I will definitely keep coming back??

I have had almost 100% worry free visits for 3 months. Destiny is the best person to deal with for your screening. Great personality, and super funny. Juan has never let me down on the floor, one of the best for sure!!

The staff is amazing and responded quickly I hadn't eaten this morning. I know I should have. They were calm reassuring and very attentive. Everyone here is friendly with a smile.

Everything is great EXCEPT this lady that works there. She's the white phlebotomists with blonde hair. I've only had her twice and both terrible experiences!! She's so rough when hooking you up and rips the needle out. She doesn't smile and doesn't ask if your ok. Everyone else is so nice and welcoming. avoid her!!

Very slow and they take people ahead of you that should be behind you and they keep telling you it won't be much longer! They don't care how long it takes as there fees continue to drop, it's not even worth your time to donate at that center unless you are a new donor. As there famous saying it won't be much longer.
