Customer Reviews

Very kind staff, had to redo paper work as a returning donor and it was Quick! Very professional and considerate. Great environment and easy process! Would Highly recommend now! Best donation I've had in Many years!

Very thankful im only going to come one more time. They are very slow and do not know how to be prepared whatsoever. You can make an appointment and be first in line and still get pushed back its ridiculous. Whoever runs this place needs help managing because they suck very much.

Literally HATE coming here. Staff doesn't care about your time, they all shy away from sticking you. (LIKE ITS NOT THERE JOB… what a joke)… Makes you feel extremely unwanted… as if we WANT to be here in the first place. Been coming for years and progressively has gotten worse. Just pay me so I can leave.

It's a nice place . They move pretty quick . Manager mike is up and down the place showing his presence and being active communicating with customers. Not hiding behind a desk. Taking care of business. The other employees are also on point. Average donation time 1hour. Too long. And you get half pay for early disconnection. Csl plasma you're out in 30 minutes for 5 dollars less. Get full pay for early disconnection if it takes too long on their end. Get work the program guys.

I can't be completely upset but my time was wasted all for at the last minute after 1hr and 37 minutes of doing everything the lady doing the physical was being rude from the start only cause my sleeve wouldn't go up from not being a stretching material even after I offered to pull out my arm since I had an under shirt. She kept calling me bro and dude and never once called me by my name. She proceeded with cancelling my visit and told me they couldn't do it because I have a tattoo “completely cover

Tried to donate plasma. They told me to call back with their doctor's analysis. When I called back, They said they couldn't say over the phone. I drove there and was told I have to get a doctor's referral. Don't know why they couldn't tell me that over the phone. My two friends with me on separate occasions both had needles inserted wrong and used a faulty machine. My wife was not allowed in the room while I was being registered. Finally, I was told to wait outside the building in the cold for three hours w

My very first time donating plasma. I was very nervous all for nothing really it was quite silly of me. Gus and Rudy at the front were very helpful with explaining the process. Odalys was so wonderful and professional during my physical exam. She made sure I was comfortable and made sure she answered all my questions. She then passed me off to Julian who was very kind and professional very efficient started the process then Janet came over and was very welcoming and chatted with me awhile and thanked me fo

I appreciate how kind the staff is, it seems that's hard to come by nowadays. I was explained to every step thoroughly and the process went so smooth. I would definitely recommend this place to family and friends who are looking to donate at such a well kept establishment.

I donate here at northloop and love the staff. They are a very clean facility. The staff there is friendly. I never have any issues with my time spent there donating. Mikey is very friendly and great to be around with never hurts me or makes my visits unpleasant. There's a handful of other ppl in the back whom I enjoy having them during my shifts of donation lol like Adrian and Joe as well as Eddie. Great staff! In the front Rudy is always so welcoming attentive appreciate many ppl on this staff. Amie is on

The staff is very nice and have great customer service. I went in today to do my process and one of their workers Itzel was super nice, with a great attitude which made my visit wonderful!

Very clean environment, employees were all very nice and professional from start to finish, in particular Eddie the medic onsite was extremely professional and helpful which enhanced the experienced for me and made me feel that much more comfortable.

great place to donate ! i loved coming here at first and loved the experience coming back! great new diner fee! Amie took care of me and she was awesome! definetly 5 stars!

Everyone is awesome!!!! This location feels like family and goes out of their way to make you comfortable ❤️❤️

Great experience Everytime great customer service fast and clean Amie is always so positive and helpful

Be careful, that's all I'm going to say. Some workers don't know what they are doing. I had a worker put the needle in my arm too far, and then two others just poked it around. They don't care about your health just getting your plasma.

Mrs.aylin was amazing and very helpful !! Highly recommend it. New staff and machines and fast/efficient

Grifols staff is always on point here at North loop, very courteous,very clean,super professional, Eddy in the front thanks Buddy and angel 😇

Being my first time as a donor the complete staff made me feel so Comfortable. Very Welcoming and Friendly 👍

Odalys is one of the most compassionate workers that you have on this property on North loop drive. Have you had more workers like her I think your donor numbers would go up.

Shot out to Amie she is super awesome very friendly and very informative. Rest of Staff always on point!!!

Ms Legarreta was the best nurse I've ever had! Definitely due for a promotion!

Love coming here everyone is always smiling and Amie is a very nice lady always has a smile on her

Great workers, quick donation times and overall a very comfortable experience

Fast and easy! Im in and out within 1 hour usually . Everyone is friendly

This crew is fun. They're all smiles and great attitudes. My favorite thing about them is their adherence to the standard. I can't say enough about the friendly and welcoming atmosphere combined with excellent customer care.

Awesome Experience just like i remembered the last time i was here.

I been donating at this location for over a year. The customer was really bad in late 2020. Employee were rude and constantly talking about each other as well as the patients. In October 2020 a employee missed my veins. I complained about the pain the tech adjuster the needle which made the pin worse. I then requested to speak to a manager who adjusted the needle again. I asked to be disconnected but they refused because I was almost done. The following day I reported the Incident to a different manager be

Been coming for years now. The North Loop location is not only clean, comfortable and quick, but they have a real nice staff, oh and the money is good too. ;)

Fast service and aeasy to get along employees!!

The workers here are very rude and short with clients. They did not as if I'm allergic to iodine or to latex which I am allergic to one of them. When they were made aware of my allergy they roller their eyes. They treat people as if are an item, not human. They show no care in clients. No customer service here, only converse among the workers themselves.

How awful that while I am having a cell conversation they come up to me telling me I had to keep it down like if I was yelling or screaming. HER NAME IS JENNY. Besides this all staff is friendly. Thank you Mikey for making my experience better...

The line itself takes longer than the donation! They usually have only 1 or 2 staff in the front while having a line of 20-30 people. I've waited in line for over an hour the other day! They used to be fast years ago but now it's terrible!

Answered a question wrong on questionnaire had to sit wait on a nurse 20 min later had employee tell me it be a while for a nurse to get to me so I step in restroom for 30 seconds literally come back get skipped total wait time 35 min for answering a question wrong , nurse also stated they never checked my arms which they did , i feel some employees think they are doing us a favor by letting us donate don't know what the deal is , our donations keep the business going have that in mind please , some of us

What used to be about an hour and a half wait time including screening and donation is now at 3+ hour wait time… be prepared to wait awhile. The weekends are busiest and they are usually low staffed what seems to be everyday of the week now. I try and change my donation days to see which days are decent and no luck! Eat well and hydrate.

Mike was nice and made sure I was comfortable. The staff in general was very friendly and made the process as smooth as possible. Definitely donating here again!

Staff are a bit emotionally dry with no greetings. I feel more of a burden because they have to work, and the wait time for checking vitals is way too long. Having 6 booths and enough help (standing around). Only 1-2 techs, sometimes 3, are processing vitals. Prepare to stand long and spend a whole day.

Clean and modern facility. The customer service is what stands out and the employees have never talked or treated me any less.

Donations vary on personal and their willingness to get you out the door, they treat you like your time isn't valuable. If they make a mistake it solely on you, they might work there but expect you to do know how they run things. Not recommending any of my family and friends. Will say their management team is very different from their workers. Always trying to work it our as best as they can, might take a while but they will work with you.

I've been coming here for a few years and love the staff. They go out of their way to make sure that you as their client are comfortable and are always open to answering questions, which I often have many Lol They're constantly updating and keeping up with regulations to keep us safe. This is really just my favorite facility, hands down.

Everyone here is crazy I've never had a problem you guys are awesome.Everyone is friendly and easy to get along with especially lulu she's amazing!!! Thanks for all you guys do!!!

This location is state of the art all the way through. This makes the donation process pleasant and professional from the moment you come through the doors. They provide a life saving service every day and the staff shows their appreciation in their daily interactions. The staff is also friendly, making your visit go by in a friendly and timely manner. The overall process is efficiently run and you feel great knowing you participated in a process that helps people of all walks of life live a better and heal

I feel discriminated I walk in speaking Spanish and woman on front desk made me feel discriminated and refuse my id so never coming back hir walk in at 4:18 pm SI HABLAN ESPAÑOL DAN MAL TRATO!!

I used to go to the one downtown in Texas street and was the best. Moved by over here so started coming here and they always mess up. Either they let people before me when I was here first or don't poke my veins right. Really thinking of moving again even if I have to drive far!

I love coming to this place . The staff members are very professional and friendly. Every donation has been a good experience. The staff are very gentle and you can tell they take their job seriously. I went to another plasma place for a while before coming to this company. Let's just say the staff would always poke to deep and was always rushing. This plasma place like I said are very gentle. I never even feel the needle going in. Every staff member I have come across, have always been kind and try to get

So I've been coming here for years, they did good till recently in the couple of months. One, the phlebotomist was too rough and dug the needle too deep in my vein and too fast, my veins are literally easy and popping, the roughness was not necessary. Second, most of these workers seem to have attitudes, they're rude and third, last time once I was done they still left me hooked up for half an hour. Frankly if it wasn't for the fact that I need money to pay bills, I'm not coming back. The wait time

I've been to this location several times since sept and always had a good experience. The staff is always polite & professional. Miriam is always nice to talk to but Gus always goes above and beyond to make it a pleasurable experience. 😁 definitely deserving of a 5🌟 review

Very friendly environment Sorry I can't remember the names of the two wonderful ladies that helped me However they did a great job 10/10

Amie is such a great personnel to this team. She makes this place feel just like home she is awesome and always great with the donors

If you want to donate plasma this is best place to go the staff is friendly and treat you with the upmost respect. And they are fast to get you processed in so you can start your donation UPDATE the post above was 3 yrs ago at 5 stars now. Some of the staff are great and friendly others not so much. If you are due a bonus do not leave until it hits your account which can sometimes take hours. I've been going here for 3 years so between here and the military I have scared tissue in my arms I ask them to go

Morning staff takes their time with everything! Will make you wait for hours just because they feel like it. Afternoon staff will try to do everything fast to leave for the day.

Very nice n polite person

I was there yesterday around 1 pm I went to the back to get a chair bed I asked for a lady if she could stick me she was busy but I was in no hurry so I was waiting the lady out of respect i wont say what I should but she comes and says ill stick i said I have a problem with being stuck wrong ill see she says its easy ok so I agreed granted I didnt ask her so she sticks me and yes its wrong goes and says its fine cuz its flowing ok I say but I shouldn't have any pai during donation THEN SHE SAYS TO ME YO

This is a completely different environment than the previous center that I used to donate at? Very clean, professional and positive environment...Paola and the rest of the crew are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.

This place is awesome. The staff is friendly and very professional. Their facility is extremely clean and very organized!! Wait time is very minimal!! Bonus your helping people that are sick and makin some extra cash can't beat that!! Highly recommended!!😁💚💯

Went to donate and while getting my vitals taking I started to choke with my saliva. The very friendly staff offered me a bottle of water. Another coworker came and started to tell him that he cannot be giving me any water because they could get in trouble with the supervision that we as the donor needed to bring our own water and not to ask for any anymore because they won't be giving me any. She was very rude and was not nice to her coworker.

I have been coming to Talecris for a few years and each time the staff is very friendly and helpful. They always make me feel like an individual and not just some person that is donating and rush to get me out. I have never had any issues or felt like not coming back. Overall the best place to donate plasma!!

Awesome, professional, and friendly environment. For someone who is afraid of needles they really help, comfort and take care of me. The manager is lovely and lively.

Third time I've come to donate and the staff are always polite, professional and positive and make me feel comfortable. This time, Manny and Stefanie up front were great! Each time, from the front desk to every nurse in the place, I only feel that they injoy their jobs and aren't miserable amongst themselves and around us donors.

Amazing center. Definitely recommend!

Payout keeps dropping now in a time when people need every penny they can get and on top of that a lot of their phlebotomist seem to not be able to hit the vein properly. Only a select few I would allow and sometimes they aren't even working. Sometimes they only have 2 people on the floor and out of the 2 neither one I would trust.

Uncomfortable with some immaturity of employees laughing like it's high school and gossip about people who walk in and guys flirting while you're just trying to just get the donations over with but just have to ignore these behaviors.

Ruby and Gary made why whole experience easy and comfortable. I wasn't able to donate when I first walked in and they made sure to educate me on what to do to make sure I passed the next time I came. It was so easy and the whole staff was absolutely great!

I had a great experience at this plasma center, the staff is very friendly and they made my first experience there really great & made me feel super comfortable, I would definitely go donate again!

This place was very friendly, and professional. I really like how staff Jessica interacted with me and my fiance. It was our first time an it may have been a process for us but it was worth the wait. It helps to be patient but appreciate the staff professionalism. Thanku Jessica

Waste of time. Horrible customer service, everyone in a bad mood (no smiles). I never felt that doing a good cause would make me feel so unappreciated. Felt like they rather I go to another Plasma Center. Also, their Bonuses are misleading. Read the small print.

By far the best Plasma donation center. The staff and environment is amazing. Fast and efficient! Will definitely be visiting more often.

Amazing staff. If you are consistently going, the staff will remember you and are very welcoming. At times they will not always be as friendly due to the place being super packed. So instead of the usual nice greeting and small talk. They will just do their job and move on the next patient asap. Which is completely understandable. Overall amazing staff, and wait time is reasonable. Don't expect to be in and out, the process of donating plasma alone is at a max an hour. Before you go in and make your complai

Some of the people are very good at their job but for some weird reason they don't train their people very well. Have been a consistent donor for about 8 months now and this last month I've basically given up trying to donate. Every second donation I seem to be failed for something in pre screen vitals yet when I go to Walgreens down the road and check my vitals on their self serve station they are fine. (Literally there testing them myself within 5 minutes after being denied re testing them). Seems p

Very clean location. The staff is friendly and welcoming. I have never had any issues with donating here. The payout is also better than other donation centers. Update: I have been donating at this location for over a year now and the entire staff is outstanding!

I've been donating at this facility for almost 4 years & I honestly love it!!! All the staff members are so friendly & caring. This is definitely the place to donate. The wait is not bad at all since they are super efficient!

I was a new donor they were very Good about explaining what I would need to do before coming like drink lots of water and eat. They also provided snacks. I had a great experience. Staff very friendly and knowledgeable. I would recommend anyone to come to this location.

Nice clean place. Easy process and not overly busy. Friendly staff

Have been coming here for a while now and have never had any issues everyone is very welcoming and friendly. The staff is helpful. The facility is also very clean I recommend this place

Besides the long wait times. The phlebotomists here aren't very well trained. The first time I donated I could tell the needle was pulling on my skin too much and a couple hours later when I took off my bandage there was a noticeable bump on the spot where they inserted the needle. Then a couple of days ago when I went the phlebotomist inserted the needle and as soon as she did something felt off. It felt as if she completely missed my vein and the machine indicated that there was no flow. Then she procee

A fantastic center! Great cutomer service from beginning to end of the process. I referred my sister in law who was coming from another center and she said the employees at this center provided her with a great experience and the service she received was like no other!

This facility has got to be the best Grifols facility in the country. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. They make your donating experience easy and comfortable. I especially would like to recognize Myriam for her awesome skill and attentiveness.

I had a great experience being a first time donor! I was a little anxious but the staff is wonderful! Have donated a couple times and have had nothing short of a pleasant experience. A really wonderful service they are doing here. Definitely recommend if you are looking to donate and aren't sure where to go!

I have been coming here consistently for 2 years. Knowing that I'm able to I'm able to of service to the community as well as helping my own family. The staff is very friendly and I am always able to go in-and-out

The wait is not worth the amount of money they give you. They take tedious amounts of time to even complete the simplistic tasks. I waited 5 hours for them to tell me I couldn't donate. If you're a first time donor they'll take over 6 hours just get the paperwork started. They staff is rude and they have attitudes. The whole time being there just sucked because they took a really long time and didn't manage time efficiently. I showed up at 9 am and by almost 3pm they still hadn't even tested a sam

First time here and I was not disappointed!! Everyone was extremely nice and I felt very comfortable being there. It's definitely the place to go if you do consider to donate. Ayleen was extremely nice and also comforting!!

Good Staff, waiting time is not long at all. They just get some clients that want to be processed as soon as walk in, there are other clients before them and the staff moves fast to service everyone as quickly as possible.

Super excellent staff.

CSL pays more. The staff here are like a group of high school kids, they just gossip and talk. Not professional in the front when i went and the manger looked clueless, will not return and CSL pays more

I honestly don't see why there is so much negative feedback when I have had nothing but the best experiences at this donation center. This place is very clean & organized. The wait is reasonable & all of the staff here are very professional & polite. They know what they are doing & they always make sure your comfortable. This center is the place to donate so stop by!

I switched from the Dyer location, which is by appointment only, only to wait in a long line. Why doesn't this location accept appointments? The Dyer location got rid of the “rush" and there's virtually no wait time. I'll be switching back

I don't understand you negative people. You're just impatient wet blankets! This place is great! They tell you ahead of time how long the first visit may be! Yes, you get quized because you SHOULD be reading the notebook you're given. How hard is 10 questions for you? And to complain about the time. Come now, it's the easiest $375 you'll make in a month! If you have something better to do, by all means, go do it and stop complaining about everything in your lives.

Great staff!!!! Very positive environment. Screening is fast and easy. Ask for Martha, Chris, Evelyn, Thalia , Juan, Juanita, Mathew and Adrian....... 🥰🥰🥰📍📍📍sorry i forgot one but HONESTLY TGE ENTIRE STAFF IS AWESOME 😎

Staff is amazing! Always a great experience when I come, and whenever I have questions, I always receive answers! 11/10 recommend this facility!

Ive never had to wait longer than a hour and maybe 30 min for my whole donation process. Lately its been taking over 2 hours. Im currently sitting waiting to get poked for over 35 min… definitely considering moving plasma companies, since my time does not matter here. This has been my 3rd experience like this, so they definitely do not care. Update: cleared to donate At 5:15 but was not actually poked until 6:00 pm Im upset as i enjoy donating and coming to this location but not if its going to continue

This place is unacceptably slow. I've been to 4 other plasma centers and it's never taken more than an hour and a half . The place is unbelievably low staffed and they keep saying they need help and don't hire anyone. If you come here make sure to have 4 hours freed up because there is 5 people actually working in total.

I am a new donor and from the first time walking into the center everyone was very helpful and kind. All the staff made me feel so comfortable even when I was so nervous definitely will be back and I definitely recommend amazing staff.

Good staff and nice facility but sometimes the staff tend to take there time for instance standing around chatting or all in a bunch looking for an item that should be easy to find if they are well organized and labeled and instead of looking around to assist someone if they need assistance, for instance a couple of months ago when they were sticking me with the needle they did wrong and which caused a bruise and they tried the other arm and justsame thing so I was bruised and sore from both arms for about

I've donated in this place for a while now and it's a great environment the staff are great. And what better than making some money while helping people around the world. I recommend it greatly.

If it wasn't for the bonuses and the fact that I need the extra cash, I honestly wouldn't show. I have been disrespect and treated unkindly. Most recently they were taking forever to get my tissue sample approved which cost me two months of being unable to donate. When I did come back, I didn't even get an apology. I would have felt better if someone at least acknowledged that they messed up, but no. I feel less than human everytime I show up, and again at least the bonuses are not bad.

Been coming to this location for a couple years. The staff is always friendly and professional. Great environment. Definitely recommend to future donors

I've been going here almost a year now. I first became a donor in September of 2020. Personally i like donating i make sure to come twice a week. I encourage others to come and donate the compensation is good and the people are friendly.

Donated for the first time at this location yesterday. Staff was very friendly, professional, and thoroughly explained the process. Omar kept checking on me to make sure I was ok during the donation even though he had multiple patients. I was aware of the lengthy process for first time donors going into the process. There is a basic 10 question quiz given prior to donating based on the information they require you to read. The process went smoothly for me. Bring a blanket or jacket if you tend to get

I walk in Talecris it is so clean and organized the staff treats me so nice there all kind and courteous to everyone.They have all of it's sanitizers filled in place. They call me to the back in minutes and get attended right away when I go to the back to get poked.The music they have is so relaxing and I feel so comfortable in this plasma place.The staff is excellent to us donors good job.... donorsaregr8... the wifi is also excellent never have trouble with my phone time goes by so fast.When I'm done dona

So they have a couple dope nurses, but it doesn't make up for the slow nurses. I was done for about 20 minutes and these 2 nurses were just talking to this one dude. Like do your job and get me the heck outta here. So wack.

Caution ⚠️ Do Not Donate At This Facility. They are paying people to boost reviews as an attempt to draw more people in so they are not genuine, and therefore in violation of Title 18 1001 which states anything that is a trick plot or a scheme is legal, these are federal crimes. Furthermore I donated here last week, the needle was inserted wrong I was in pain, it was readjusted but i was still in pain. I in formed them several times. I asked to be removed from the machine several times and they blatantl

Omg!!! These people are the best! I love donating here. Always a fast pleasant experience. I'm always in and out. Plus the center is extremely clean!!! Keep up the great customer service guys n gals!!!!!!!

Going to Talecris Plasma Resources have been a comfortable experience. The staff is always friendly and professional & will answer all your questions. The environment is clean and safe. I would totally recommend to anyone. :)

My experience with this center is very welcoming place , the employees are very nice and helpful in every way. I also work here and feel the same. Thanks Guys ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Passed all the medical tests and got deferred for a day because they don't tell you when they take you in screening room that they have a stupid 10 question quiz that has nothing to do with your health really so petty you defer people for failing your stupid quiz. Not only that but the staff have an attitude when your kind to them. Never coming back they wasted 3 hours of my time.

Always have a great experience! Staff is very professional and take their time to make you feel comfortable.

Place is great. Everyone is helpful and friendly. Yes the first visit seems to take forever but I think it's because a first time visitor would have to be entered into the system or something. After that it does not take as long. Overall this place is awesome

No long wait times ! Save lives while earning extra $$. Mikey is the best! He is super gentle. Fastest donation center in El Paso

I love working with everyone here. All the CMS's are quick to help and give aid to any and all reactions. The DT's in the front are quick to take vitals. The phlebotomist are just as fast and friendly. They all make the process go fast and comfortable

Pretty fast end efficient, all the staff are friendly and very gentle.

horrible service staff they take there sweet time , dont even know what they doing .. i got there at 5:30 p.m didnt got called in around 7 p.m i sugguest people find another center .

Excellent service Lalo Moreno

Amazing, fast and clean place! And you always get bonuses when you least expect it, I love coming here, donate twice a week, and I love the lil games and bonuses they give out with the games!

My first time going back in October, however I ended up not only with a terrible bruise that lasted almost a month but I was also called by management to tell me that I had been exposed to someone with Covid and for me to get tested. Well after that I got scared. Finally yesterday I decided I would go back, after all now that the vaccine is out and there are less cases here in El Paso I figured maybe it was safer. Well I showed up at 540pm, I told the girl up front my situation, she got with one of the peo

Eddie is a hard working man. Love coming to this center. Everyone is nice.

Staff is very attentive, respectful, approachable, and friendly. The place is clean overall. They make the process smooth and painless.

The staff are friendly and answer all your questions about donating plasma. Luis was especially nice as he took care of his patients. Yes, the process for new donors is tediously long, but it is well worth the wait for a good cause, more so when the staff try to get you in as quickly as possible.

Great place. The staff is always very professional and attentive. I've never felt uncomfortable or ignored. Definitely recommend.

Super professional and helpful staff!! I always have a smooth donation here!

I love this place. I came in to donation today and they are very rushed. I get everyone wants to leave but its your job

I've been here for a month now and everyone has been very nice and they try their best to make you feel comfortable and check up on you frequently.

Really great customer service, they're proactive about helping with any questions you may have and they always make sure you are good throughout the process

Originally began going for the covid project, but had not been back in a few months. Walking back in after my hiatus, I was greeted by Jesus who was extremely helpful and had me flying through the 1st time process! I was also assisted by Andrea with this process!

I want to give recognition to Viena ! every time I see her I ask her if she can poke me , she does a fast and great job every time always having me in and out with a fast donation ! Thank You Viena! You are awesome at what you do :)!

Went in the receptionist was nice at first then I needed to switch location kept saying r u sure I said yes she rolled her eyes and said go to the room over there and I said ok I finally found the room (I have never been here before ) kept rolling her eyes I don't know what was wrong I think she had a long day apparently then I was in a line well the lady said ummm ma'am u r in the wrong line move over here and stand I said ok moved to window one of tech said ummmm I got the wrong donor2 red flag and then t

Clean quick and professional. Eileen gave a thorough physical. Would recommend the lines are never long and takes about an hour to finish donating

Staff is so lazy to do they're jobs and always gossiping about each other, Today is the fourth day that at I had to come in a row in order to attempt to donate just to have them sit me in the waiting lobby for hours on end so they can tell me I have to do more physicals after they did one the first day and the days prior to that. This is a pathetically runned plasma center. Never had I ever had a problem with they're locations in Dallas. Staff needs to step up there game!

I have had a really good experience here and the pay is awesome. They really have people here that know how to poke in the exact area to get the blood going. They also have friendly and helpful staff. I recommend this place to anyone who wants to donate plasma.

Definitely a great place to help those who are in need of our donation. I appreciate that the staff treats me like I'm valuable. I love that everyone is nice too.❤ Thank you all!

Fast and friendly service!

Very nice folks here at this location. There was a mix up with some info and it took longer than necessary but, they gave me some extra cash as compensation. It worked out fine.

Always a pleasant experience here. Staff is always attentive and friendly. I used to get bruised a lot but i do not have this problem anymore in this location.

Everyone was welcoming and helpful throughout my donation process. I would recommend going to donate at this plasma center.

The best service from many my top peeps are Myrian, Eloy, Vienna, Isaac, Joel, so many awesome peeps who take care care of me! Happy to be apart of the fam, Becca

Be prepared to waiste your time. This place is short staff and very slow service. Have been waiting 2 hrs just to give themmy info another 1hr just to wait for the fiscal then another 1hr to just to wait in line to donate plasma. Very slow service for a first time donor

Great experience, wonderful staff and took care of me during my first donation with them. Highly recommend!

If I could give 0 stars I would , I rarely go to donate mainly because majority of the staff is rude , I wasn't able to donate today due to my temperature being high which is understandable but I've had probably 2 good experiences where the associate was nice other than that most of the staff has an attitude I think the only nice person is management with whom I spoke with and I told him the same, I plan to take my plasma else where and I don't plan on going back atleast not to that location, disappointed B

Been donating at this location for awhile now and the staff and everyone working there is very awesome

WORST DONATION PLACE EVER. Place was dead and it literally took them 3 hours to even get to my physical , I left at this point cause we still had half of the process to go. Literally spent 3 hours sitting waiting for these guys. Seriously not cool , it's worth driving to a further location.

I come in here twice a week and they are consistent every time the staff are always ready to help I have been here for the last 2 years, they are very profesional

When the needle was placed for the donation. They had to adjust it multiple times. When a second needle was placed in my arm to give back my blood the cuff expanded as the blood was still be transferred back. I had chronic arm pain. Staff had good attitude. But few had poor service.

The center is quick and sufficient thanks to Abby and Cindy and Liz for all you do at the center

This place is awesome! Kind, respectful staff that always greet you with a smile. Donating plasma isn't only about earning xtra $$, it's also about saving lives for those in need.

I personally prefer this location, because the staff is very attentive to their clients. Everybody always in a good mood, which places me in a good mood.

I've been trying to donate three times already. Each time they make me wait for hours before they tell me what the problem is and frankly I'm annoyed. The staff are nice but they are not on their game, they are pretty incompetent when it comes to getting information.

Manny was great, as well as Nurse Isaac and ruby are awesome, very helpful and informative! Definitely recommend to come here!

Great place, great Staff,and great management, overall excellent customer service

The staff is friendly and helpful. The location is clean. Quick and easy process everytime I go. I like this location.

Never ready on time like never open at 7 first kiosk call at 715. Today March 8 2019 open at 7 doors opened at 708 first call for a kiosk first call at for vital at 720. Only 2 kiosk work out of 7. They just all look like they dont want to be here all laughing 6 workers all in front laughing away.They need BETTER Management in the mornings.There is a new Plasma place right down the street called CSL they need to do better cuz DONORS will go try that place

This is Elia Maldonado I've been coming for 3 years now and I've never had a problems o Bruce's 😉 and staff is great the are verry polite 🙏may God keep of blessings to you grifols and staff 🙏

Love donating a grifols! Great staff and never a bad experience. Absolutely recommend to anyone to come donate to help other people . They treat you with love and care . GO DONATE .

Was a very professional experience they were really nice and considerate. You can trust them they are very knowledgeable and provide you with any information you need I was pleased

Lizzette was so nice and did an excellent job. 10 out of 10.

Go twice a week - very comfortable environment. Pleasant staff and easy process. Thank you

When the reviews tell you the wait is long they mean it. I've donated at the Alabama location and they can teach this center a little bit on how to be more efficient and quicker with their processing.

Was given false information that I was able to donate the following day having been deferred on my usual donation day that caused a great inconvenience for me I give them a one for professionalism.

Been coming year for years. Staff is always friendly and welcoming. Location is always clean. Always a lovely experience.

Always a great experience super fast in and out and always feels good to know it's helping those in real need of the plasma donations.! Ruby was very thorough on presenting info. Very much appreciated

Always a great experience. Yet to have any issues going , every time I've gone it's been a smooth process.

Poor skills from quality department as well as other people wearing dark colored scrubs. Management folks especially them are very fed up with their jobs they work very unhappy.

The people are friendly but they lie,, is been twice they tell me I'm getting a different amount and I always get the less, I call and they always have excuses that's nothing what I was told when I was there,,, NOT GOING BACK THERE EVER AGAIN!!!!! IS BEEN TWICE

Very friendly and professional staff they get you in and out and the building and equipment are very clean and nice

Been thinking of donating for a while now, when I went the first time they know how to make you feel comfortable and answer any questions concerns that you might have, highly recommended

I've been a plasma donor since April and have never been disappointed with the service here. The staff is extremely professional and the facility is always clean. Stations are sanitized after every use.

I like to come here the staff are good people. Gus is one of them. They all work hard and as fast as they can.

I love my experience here at Grifol's. The staff are kind and the donation time runs smoothly. I highly recommend donating at this center.

Ive recently started coming here at this location,there very nice a sweet and really friendly ,u feel comfortable,

If it's your first time don't come here. Not exaggerating, I arrived at 2 and past 5 I was still not donating. The short girl upfront takes forever to do paper work.

I love the experience there, so helpful financially, wonderful services and kind hardworking staff!! A+++

Messed me up 3 times already in my past 5 donations stabbing side ways when clearly my vain is straight.

I was truly amazed with this facility. The staff was very hostiable and made me feel very comfortable. The facility was emmacutly clean and very homey.

Very professional very friendly great customer service and felt more at ease when I first donated and would recommend this location for any new donors 💜

Amazing fast and clean place and you always get bonuses when you least expect it and the staff is grate love donating

Well first donating is a good experience feels good saving life's. It's clean and some friendly people always welcome me.

Great place, staff is very friendly and help you get in and out. They provide you with all information necessary for your donation.

Very welcoming and the staff is very helpful. You could always ask questions if nothing is clear and the process of donating is very easy here.

The staff are knowledgeable, friendly, prompt, and have great 👍 bed side manners. This is a vey clean facility.

Great service and facility. All staff was really friendly and welcoming.

Been donating for a while now and this is the best location I've been at. This location is very clean and the staff is awesome from the time you walk in to the time you leave, I recommend this location to anybody that's looking to become a plasma donor.

Had such an easy time from the process to the physical with the staff here. Friendly environment and clean.

Is a wonderful place and the have a great staffing to attend any thing and any question you have they are really professional and polite the center is the best I have been in.

Been coming here for over a year and I love it the process is fast and easy and the staff is super nice 😊

Process is super quick, staff is always friendly and make sure you feel comfortable and safe and the donor fees are great!

Staff is friendly and knowledgeable of the equipment and always on it wen help is needed... stay hydrated and you'll be in and out. Every donation helps save lives.

super friendly! love talking to all the employees and feel safe while i'm here.

I have been donating through the whole COVID pandemic and i have had no issues. The place is very clean and the workers are very respectful. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to donate plasma.

Clean place, fast service and Manny the CMS was the best at making sure the environment was safe and answered all my questions.

Employees very polite and professional. Have enjoyed this experience to help others.

Great experience! All the staff is friendly and answers any questions you might have!

Very friendly associates. They know you by name as soon as you walk. The time from when I walk in to being screened is always less than 15 minutes.

The people here are friendly, helpful, and kind. The facility is always clean and a safe environment.

This place is disorganized and it can take up to 2 hours to almost 3. The workers talk to each other too much instead of moving people along.

All staff is super courteous and professional. The wait time to donate is super short. I recommend this center to everyone.

It is very difficult to talk to the managers or whoever is in charge. Issues that happen at the center are not being dealt with properly. No stars if it were possible.

Staff there takes their sweet time to take care of their donors. They act like our time is not valuable.

Worst place ever. .. So they draw blood every 4 months or they come back with "inconclusive" results so you can't donate. .. second test from them comes back non reactive... few days later donor comes back with own blood test paid out of pocket stating non reactive as well. .. still deferred until you get a physician letter stating you are healthy, more out of pocket fees since blood work ain't good enough... All because of an "incoclusive" test... we're supposed to be making money, not losing it.... CSL

The staff is always friendly and helpful, i enjoy the short wait times and professionalism.

Grifols Grifols plasma is the best in El Paso in North Loop I have been donating for 6 yearsI never had a problem with any of their employees and management I have never gotten sick giving plasma in 6 years People that tell you that you get sick.

How can you donate plasma quickly?

Donating plasma can get busy with donors and long waiting times.
