Over the past year, I have consistently found myself seeking respite at this establishment. While it may seem unconventional for a busy working mother, I recognize it as an opportunity to unwind, recharge, and simultaneously earn extra cash for our family vacation. The staff has consistently demonstrated exceptional professionalism and friendliness, ensuring a positive and comfortable work environment. The camaraderie fostered with the staff has contributed to my sense of belonging and regular patronage. Wh
I've been coming to grifols for a years now and have never had any issues. Sure sometimes it gets busy or short staffed, but the staff tries very hard to manage everything and everyone as best as they can. Some of management is see don't get involved much and keep to themselves in the office. If you didn't have us donors where would you all be? Jeri is always in high spirits no matter how busy she may be. Keep up the good work!
Sabrina and Tiffany are incredibly knowledgeable and phenomenal in all they do. They are very personable ladies! I always feel welcomed and thoroughly enjoy donating here. 12/10 would recommend
The help is always kind and courteous. Sabrina is always super nice and always fast and on top of matters every time I see her working very very helpful and positive person. I appreciate good people. Even the other staff . Tanks very much and GOD BLESS DAVID SARRATT
I have been donating here for 2+ years, at this time they have the best team they've had so far. I have positive encounters with every employee, from the phlebotomist to the management staff. Love being able to set my appointments because it makes for a shorter visit
Very inviting and welcoming space, after the initial donation and physical the process from checking to leaving only takes about an hour. The staff are all pleasant and helpful, and I was particularly impressed by Sabrina, who assisted with my donation today.
I had a great experience staff is awesome and I recommend it to anyone they even gave me a snack and a drink while waiting excellent staff
They are horrible. The female staff members are so stuck up and have a horrible attitude every single time I visit, they are are lazy. They refuse to look for deep veins, they rather turn you away. I go to CSL and bio life and they find my veins no issue. Here? They can't find anything if it's no easy for them. They are lazy and bare minimum phlebotomist, please put them through real training classes on how to stick. I fear your staff is lazy, unmotivated, and rude.
Donated not to long ago, and the staff at the time was very courteous and knew their job very well. Bethany stuck me and no complications and was painless, and the disconnect from Kallie was quick and was on my way within a hour and half. Overall the staff that night was on point. Will donate there again.
Every donation is a blast. It feels good to be a lifeline for those needing my plasma and the kickback helps pay for my motorcycle habit. Sabrina is the BEST at providing a smooth experience and making it fun, too!
Nothing but professionals. Great place to donate. Sabrina is great. Jeri is awesome. Nikki is funny. Tiffany is always a blast. Bethany is very professional. Tara is the best.
Always friendly. Get in am out even on busy days. Tara was amazing. Sabrina is always up beat. They keep everyone going
Man super disappointed. Not only did I make an appointment through the app but once in the office I had to reschedule 2x and when I get there you feed me a third set of wrong information ?????? not even an apology people. FYI the answer was you can speak to my manager! Listen little miss smarty pants your manager made the appointment!!!! Why don't you go talk to them. Waste of time do not recommend.
Place has really shaped up nicely the past couple months and Bethany and Kallie are both the most professional phlebotomists there is
I've been practicing intermittent fasting, specifically 24-hour fasts, for the past five years. I don't eat processed foods, and I've found that it works well for me. Today, I tried donating, but they tried to force me to eat processed food, supposedly because someone else had an allergic reaction. It's frustrating because everyone?s body is different. If I've been doing this for years, have no issues, and my health markers like protein, hematocrit, and blood pressure are all perfect, why should I be pushed
Stay away from this location like the plague. They will find any excuse they can not to pay you AFTER you donate. Had a friend donate today and because they made him drink a bunch of fluids on site he had to pee. Staff member said they'd have to deduct $5 because they had to pause midway to let him pee but no they clarified AFTER collecting his entire donation they were actually only going to pay him $5 period. To be fair he's had a lot of issues with racism and targeting at this location too. They're websi
This center is clean, the appointment system reduces wait times, and the employees are amazing! Kallie, Sabrina, Jordan, Jeri, Tara, Nikki, Linda, Macy, Bethany and Tiffany all take good care of me
Bethany and Kallie do an amazing job! They're always working their butts off when I come in
Great place to donate. Very clean. Jeri was very nice and caring during my donation. I would strongly recommend donating here.
I like this place they don't pay enough money I keep getting $40 I don't want to leave but I got to go somewhere else that pays more money I feel like people should be getting paid good money for there plasma because ourer plasma helps save lives an more ourer plasma worth alot to be getting paid $40 I can only rate 1 star because we not getting paid enough money
Great place to donate. Great staff, clean and attractive building, fast process and you make appointments. Much better than Octapharma and less tolerance for riff raff. The staff has to deal with a lot of nasty and rude people. A+++
Love this place alway nice , clean , respectful, and fast. I have know jeri the Longest she talks to everyone like there friends and alway helpfully and everybody and everything
It's a very great community of workers... Also Jerry is a great team leader... I really enjoy donateing here ????
My name is Brian I've been donating with grifols biomat for over 10 years I've seen a lot of improvement with this place the staff here is really really good they know exactly what they're doing and Jordan down here at grifols does a really great job u guys are awesome ??
Hello Would like to say Sabrina and Jordan are awesomene. Very kind and professional. They really are good people.
I've been coming to grifols for a few years now and have never had any issues. The staff tries very hard to manage everything and everyone as best as they can. Some of my favorites are Sabrina, Tiffany, Angie, and Jeri. They are always in high spirits no matter how busy they may be.
I always have the most relaxing and most comfortable experience donating at this location. Jeri is always amazing!!!
Geri is always a very nice nd helpful person, she is always in a good mood and makes the donation process more enjoyable
Fantastic place the best and most nicesst employees I've ever came across very kind and caring top notch people very very clean environment I highly recommend
Jeri is the only one who I allow to do the process of my donation, she is super polite and patient with me.
Open on time and with a smile. Barely had to wait and Jordan did great whey she stuck me. Barely felt it. ??
The facility is clean and orderly, the employees are friendly and helpful, and the wait time is usually quite quick!
Do not recommend this facility at all. 100 percent trash. 100 percent terrible staff. Crooks. Liars. Poor management. Falsified accusations. It's like a high school all over again in there??????. The amount of ?grown ups? is hilarious.
First time experienced this location in Council Bluffs and Angie was amazing she received me and welcomed me and walked me through the steps. Really friendly people that work here. Also, Aaron was really good to me and very professional. A shout out to Jordan too, very pleased with my experience today
There is no employees!! You have to wait more than 25 minutes so that the few people who work here can put the hoses and everything they need, without mentioning the 30 minutes you have to wait for them to call you after you have registered, it is not fair that you take around 2:30 hours in a donation because there is no one to attend! Btw the guys are there are really nice
Great place, great people. Sabrina is so nice and understanding 10/10
I tried to come in multiple times to donate the first couple times my iron was low and I got iron pills to help with that then I went In and they had me do the paperwork and videos all over again since I didn't actually donate even tho I watched the videos and they gave me a donor number and made me a profile but anyways after I finish all the paperwork and the videos for the third time a lady takes me into room 3 and tell me I can't donate based on the shirt I was wearing and asked if I ?had something to c
Sabrina, Bethany, and Jeri. Are always very positive and polite!!
I always come here and I've NEVER had a problem. Never ever. All the staff are welcoming. Kind and compassionate. They also are well trained and get the job done with no issue! With that being said I went in today and everything was good until Mitch on of the techs went to put the needle in my arm and was careless, he missed my vein and proceeded to wiggle the needle in my arm for a few minutes before I told him I'd rather have someone else do it. Someone else came to fix his mistake but it was too late. He
Staff is friendly and happy to answer any questions I've had and they keep the facility nice and clean. I'm happy with my experience so far.
It's fine, this place makes it's own 5 star reviews. but their empty parking lot speaks for its self. How people like it at this location I was in over the weekend and the managers are so terrible making lies, alot of the time they make unskilled new workers do arm checks and because of one person's call not 2 or more. Your not aloud to even try after long breaks, that Jeri needs a super evaluation check, she's super rude, she ruined 4 of my buddies and blames arm injury on doners only it's never their work
Awesome place to donate. Extraordinary Staff that know each donor on personal level. Staff is A++. Love donating here.. Geri, and Angie are two of my all-time favs ..
The employees at grifols really know how to make you feel welcome, never had any issues donating here, definitely recommend. Also jeri's the best employee ever!
Jordan, Bethany and Nikki are always so positive and helpful!!
I love this location.. I love Jeri she is THE BEST!! ??
The nurse and short black hair was really rude.Disrespectful.But other than that it was great.I will be returning
The people here are friendly, organized, and very knowledgeable about the donation process! They put this newb at ease from the moment I walked in the door for my very first plasma donation! They greeted me with a smile and kept me informed through the whole process, which did not take nearly as long as I had anticipated- score? They appear to true Love You care about people that come through their center and they keep the place very clean! This place was a pleasant surprise!! Definitely will return!
Place is always clean and all the workers are nice and always so helpful.
They were nice, kind,and respectfull. They almost never mess up at all. And there bonuses are great to.
Bethany was great overall a professional environment. Appointment only.
The people are so friendly! They've become true friends! They are always trying to move fast and improve! Great group of people!
This is the best donating center I have ever experienced and I feel super comfortable going to. Star and Jamie are always super awesome and treat me like family. They take their time with me and are very caring! Especially with my anxiety they are understanding and focus on making me feel calm. All the staff are very friendly but these two ladies are outstanding and work hard nonstop. Their compassion never goes unnoticed with me thanks for always taking awesome care of me! - Tamara Patterson
The staff is always helpful and professional. The front desk staff is so welcoming with warm smiles
Today was a very exceptional experience with Grifols. Deshauna was super professional, friendly and pin point with her craft PUN intended. Just want to give credit where credits due! There's five gold stars for you young lady!
Grifols has gotten worse sadly. Not in terms of the facility, really - though in terms of hours, yes. But the final nail in the coffin is that they completely got rid of their returning new donors incentives and still have predatory pentalties every time you use their card, so I'll probably never be back to this center. It's a shame, because the center is otherwise pretty solid, with helpful staff. Corporate greed strikes again.
Been going here for about 2 months and they have been really nice and they are very good at their job
Screening process is fast and convenient. Compensation is grate and seating. No long standing periods while waiting!!
I've donated here for over a year. The staff are nice, facility is clean, and most of the time I'm in-and-out in under an hour.
Experience was made very comfortable Jeri Lea went above and beyond expectations insuring I felt safe
My wife and I donate at the Council Bluffs, Grifols. Clean facility, friendly staff, efficient. Great way to help out, and make money.
Bethany is professional and friendly. The facility is clean.
Easy process to get signed in. Pleasant workers
In my opinion, most people who feel the need to leave a review for a place like this are often the ones who have an issue. I never had an outstanding issue and I donated 604 times at this center. Everyone was polite, courteous, professional and good at their job. Often, I showed up at around 10:30am and I got out at 11:45 at the latest. My donations took around 35 minutes so that means I only spent around 30-40 minutes getting processed. If that's REALLY that slow that people need to complain, maybe they sh
They're pretty quick getting you in and out. The staff are all very nice as well. I've never had an issue with anyone having a bad attitude and I definitely look forward to coming back every time I've donated.
Amazing staff. Always friendly. They make the process so easy going with how friendly they are. Great people to be around. Heather is amazing is amazing, super friendly and talks with you as she works with you. Wouldn't donate anywhere else.
The staff is super freindly and they are awesome. They have always greater me with a smile and called me by my name when i walk through the door. No matter how busy they are. Uf i could give them a higher rating than a five star then i would. Even the new employee go above and beyond to make you feel special
They have great staff and very knowledgeable. The reason I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 is because they aren't quite equipped to handle large volumes of people in a short amount of time, in regards to only having 8 medical history rooms, but only 3 in use during a large rush. That day, I ended up being there for 4.5 hours that day due to short staffed.
The staff are very friendly, it's clean and the environment is good. Highly recommend.
The staff is so friendly, professional, and efficient. This center is very nice and clean. Grifols doesn't pay based on weight, which is wonderful because all donors put in the same amount of time and effort each donation. Grifols is always giving out plenty of awesome bonuses and promotions. This place is the best!
Don't bother going to if you don't have a permanent address within 50 miles. Apparently, your plasma is only good if you live within 50 miles if the building.
! 6Grifols is an amazing place to donate plasma! The staff is always friendly and take care of the donors!!!
Staff is NOT friendly!!!! Thr bruises i get here are way beyond normal. It seems they will hire anyone and it shows by the attitude and knowledge of sticking my vein. I have been to the other donation places and will NOT recommend Grifols in Counsel Bluffs, IA
The donation process goes quick if you are hydrated but the wait time is extremely excessive if you have things to do this is not the center for you. The wait time is longer than your donation even if you come in early expect a 3-4 hour wait, with low compensation payouts it is not worth waiting around here.
I tried to donate there a while back, sat there for hours trying to get thru the screening process, had to come back and start all over the next day. Once again drug it out so long i finally left. I thought maybe it was because they were still being very cautious about covid and was gonna try donating there again but after reaaeading all the negative reviews about how long they take and how bad the staff is, I am hesitant to even go now. And Biomat no need to respond to this. You're just going to post
I used to donate here all the time for several years my husband too. This month the center is going to put out a bonus where you are required to donate 8x between this date and this date for an extra $100. Well because the center wants to close for unforeseen circumstances on my donating day I'm going to miss out on said bonus and management isn't going to grant it. It's not my fault y?all were closed why do I have to miss out on the bonus cuz you can't hire people or keep employees. I won't be coming here
Great experience! Clean nice facility ?? staff is super polite and funny to... While working hard and doing the best they can!
The staff is great they get to you as a donor as fast as they can they always friendly
Second visit was told about first 4 donations being 100 and only got 40. Waited for over 2 hours waited first hour for them to figure my information which was done in 2 minutes. Was skipped by new people that came in. Very dissatisfied for first time at this location.
I am so annoyed with this place. I had a sugary 3 years ago, which they know about because I have been a previous donor. I came back for the new donar referral. because the 40 Dollar payment isn't work 3 hours of waiting every time you come in here. I waited hours to just get a call back from the doctor to let them know even though I clearly had the call the year before that I could continue with the process. I was the first new donor in line and multiple went before me. After a certain point 100 dollars i
Over the years I've donated at quite a few places across the country. I'd say this is one of the cleanest and most organized locations Ive visited. That being said it's all threatened by one individuals lack of professionalism. First let me say I don't exactly enjoy having a needle put in my arm. It makes me nervous. I don't want to argue with someone about to stick me even under the most agreeable circumstances. The last four times I have been I have either been harrassed or accused of things by an obviou
Jordan is a very nice lady
Great staff, happy to help figure out what you need to do. Informative on healthy life choices. Great environment. Jeremiah, Emily, Stacy, Stephen, and Kim are great and do their best to make it a quick and painless experience!! Great place to donate!!
Would rate this place 0 stars but you need atleast one to review. Minimal staff leads to donors waiting hours to be sat let alone be hooked up. With competing centers in the area and their company making cold calls to have donors come back you'd think they would be better. Most staff would rather chat about pizza than do their jobs. Will be looking into going to another center in the future.
Grifols Biomat is by far the best donating place ever! I have been donating here for well over two years. I have gotten to know the staff very well and they all are wonderful to me. I am in and out in no time. It takes me only 26 minutes to donate and I have figured out the best times to come when it's not so busy. I am in and out in about 45 or even less sometimes. Everyone there is kind, friendly and efficient. I appreciate the staff, being able to donate to help someone and make some extra cash. Great pl
I absolutely love their staff here. They were very understanding and very helpful. The staffs here was super friendly to me. I learned how plasma does make a difference and help out others. It saves lives. The clinic is very clean and organized.
Great atmosphere! Positive staff, front and back of house! I have to give a shout out to Kimberly the nurse who helped me my first donation day. Also to Jamie, Chris, Gianni, Stormy, Kim, Star the list goes on. Thanks everyone!
Use to be fast and efficient but now they have seriously declined in performance and they take forever to hook and unhook you even though they have plenty of workers they just walk around and watch. They say average time spent is 1hr at the most they need to change that to 2 1/2 hrs for their average time. If your In a hurry go to a different plasma center.
Jeri is great always happy
So it has been a few months since I regularly donated, and the reason is the phleblomists were regularly sticking incorrectly. However, I had a good stretch of donating and not having issues in the beginning weeks, but then it got consistently bad for multiple weeks. I understand an occasional mess up, but it got to be every time. Side note, I've been told by multiple phleblomists that I have good veins and have been stuck at other donor centers many times and it was always seamless and painless. After mult
They have some of the most professional and best employees for grifols in the Council Bluffs area.
Highly recommend! Facility is super clean, The staff is phenomenal, Heather, Starr, Polley & Melissa are amazing. Can't wait to meet the rest of them. Come join the experience!
DON'T USE THIS DONATION CENTER!!! GO TO OCTAPHARMA! The first time I donated to this center the employee who was sticking me took 20 minutes to do so and almost forgot to take my blood sample first because they were flirting with the guy sitting next to me. After that visit I was turned down 2 days later for my second donation because they had bruised me so badly. I couldn't return for my second donation for over a week. The following donations resulted in similar excessive bruising. The second to last time
This place is awesome. Not only are they a friendly environment. But the donation just paid. Not only does it help save lives. The pay I receive, helps me donate some money to a good cause; without direct out-of-pocket expense. I would highly recommend this place.
You thank us donors all the time but what never happens is thanking us with better pay outs and this month what do we get even less pay WOW REALLY!!! LIKE 120 a week wasn't already bad you cut 20 out so now we get 100 a week thanks biomat maybe don't celebrate how long you've been in business and pay out your donors a little bit more
Went in and it's 2pm and they don't close until 6pm. The lady in the front told me first come first serve bc i said I'd like to become a new donor. She said they had 4 people infront of me and basically wont be-able to get to me. 4 people wow so busy. The way she looked at me and spoke to me just threw me off from going there again
Went in to donate to make it by between paydays and was told that due to short staff I could wait 3 hours to see if a spot opened up and if a spot didn't open up, I would have to come back in the morning. I had to go to Des Moines to house sit for a friend so that was not an option. I called the Des Moines location to donate. They told me that because I'm out of the service area they couldn't help me. Must not be needing donations too badly if they are turning people away! Ridiculous!!
I think there discriminating i went there 2weeks in a row and was turned away.. Saying they are short staffed because people called out.. They werent busy at all there was only 3 people waiting in the lobby.. And the workers werent doing anything either just standing there talking...
The staff is very friendly and I love being able to make appointments. They make it very fast and easy to donate.
Not a bad wait at all. Super clean environment. Heather went above and beyond to make sure everyone around was having a successful donation. She was awesome!
I enjoy everyone there. Their all nice and polite. I would recommend them!!!
Kind staff. Wonderful phlebotomists. Clean center. Nice payout. I'm so grateful for all of the staff there. There is no place that I would rather donate!
I have been donating twice a week for several months. Everyone here has been amazing with the exception of 1 staff member who was very unprofessional with an incident. The rest of the staff has gone above and beyond and take excellent care of the donors.
The most incompetent center I have ever been to. I was a returning donor and no one knew the transfer process. Then after I got deferred they said I wouldn't have to do everything over again, but then I came in and they said I did. Very poorly trained staff out here. Definitely won't be donating because of their unprofessionalism.
This center used to be fast but they have definitely gone down hill. 3 hours to donate The donation center manager talked to me and apologized for the wait. I really appreciate it because it can be frustrating sometimes when you feel like your not heard. Thank you so much.
I have only been there three times in a year now. Then today they decided I need a doctor's note for a scar and 1 cm bruise that I have had since I was six! They always struggle to find a vein. Rebekah was not friendly and this was like the last straw. I can feed the homeless and get more personal pleasure from helping them because at least they are grateful.
Usually I don't mind the long wait, but to have the 4 people that came in behind me stuck and almost out the door before I'm stuck bothers me. I shouldn't be the last one out the door when I wasn't the last person sat to be stuck, then not even an apology after it being bought to your attention is beyond me, gotta do better.
I am always in and out fairly quickly!!! The staff is always friendly easy to hold a conversation with. I have been to other donation places in the area this is definitely the best place. Been here about 3 years
This one of the best plasma places to go to. The pay is great! The staff is amazing. Very friendly. Fast paced. With the virus going around they make it safe and clean every time I come in. Love it here!
I came in yesterday and sat around for nearly 2 hours until they even called me into a booth to check my vitals. My temp was .1 over the limit, so I was not able to give plasma. Wasn't to annoyed and just decided to come back today. Well, I set an appointment because they told me I would be pushed to the front of the line if I did so. So I set my appointment for 1 pm. I showed up 5 minutes early and sat around in the lobby for an hour and a half until I got called into a booth to check my vitals. After I wa
I received a 12 month ban from donating today. They aren't allowed to disclose why ?for confidentiality reasons?. They will not discuss your own personal information with you....this policy is absolutely ridiculous. I'm a very healthy 40 year old male. I enjoyed donating for the short time I was able to. I was honest when answering all the required information...so naturally I'm clueless as to why I was rejected. Another issue I've noticed with Grifols are the staff in the donation area that do not hesitate
While the staff is is very friendly and professional, and the facility is always clean, proving your address here is very tedious. As asked I brought a stamped letter with me to prove my residency, but because there was no date it was no good. However, this was no problem as I understood their reasoning when they say they wanted something that was sent in the last 30 days or less. I then showed my address through a bill through a music company that I use for my job, which showed the date, (which was just 1
This facility goes above and beyond for there donors. Will keep coming here. Very helpful kind staff awesome sauce. But the management does not do nothing but sit behind desk and not help one bit all they do is boss around. Need new management to show effort and help the workers.
This place is amazing. The staff are the friendliest and most accommodating bunch I have met yet. Their professionalism is exceptional. The facility itself from the parking lot to the bathrooms are very clean. They are very organized which produce minimal waiting times. They have a promo right now that compensates new donors $545 for their first month. I also wanted to add, that donating plasma is very important. Not only does it help burn victims but it is made into medication for all sorts of diseases. B
Always great customer service! Clean facility. And seem to get to the people pretty quickly. Usually at other places it feels like an eternity.
Awesome employees! They take very good care of me when I go! Twice now I've fainted and they were right there within seconds to make sure I was okay.
Its actually the cleanest and friendliest donation center i have been to. The staff is super nice while maintaining professionalism. Even when busy they keep it Calm. Thank you Staff ! ??
Absolutely love this place! The staff is amazing and the process is easy! I've been going here for a little over a year and there has not been any disappointment! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!
Called in for information to donate as a new donor and got told to come in at a certain time. Got there at the time they informed me to show up and got told they were not taking anymore new donors. I explained to them I had spoken with someone on the phone and they had told me to show up at that time and they were rude about me explaining to them my situation. I now wasted my time and gas. I'm very disappointed on how things were handled and would not recommend this place to anyone.
The staff here are amazing at their jobs. And the facility is always super clean. Thank you Sandy and Star!!! And all the other staff here. Y'all are the best in the biz!!
Any other center that doesnt treat people equal. The staff is unprofessional and could careless about your safety or health. If you do donate there i recommend you keep your eyes on them while setting up your machine. I got an air embolism here. I could have died.
There are so many friendly people working there. Very clean. Never had a bad stick here. Great pay always. Will never go to any other center ??????
As someone who has gone to the few plasma donation centers in town Biomat is easily the best place. Staff is very knowledgeable, always are in a great mood, and willing to answer any questions you have. Rather than having to stand in line forever before they call you to check your blood pressure, protein levels , etc. You can actually sit down, watch a movie, and then get called in. They have the most comfortable chairs and always have the best movies playing. I always take my tablet in expecting to watch N
Great clean environment for donors and staff. Friendly staff members that are knowledgeable and can educate you on the donation process and Staff that pride themselves of working for the company/Dr. Grifols and his family, that made plasmapheresis a possibility to save lives of other people all around the world!!
This experience was calming, pleasant, and all around positive vibes, will recommend to all !!
Terrible don't go here unless you want to wait 2 hours plus to donate and I'm not just talking bout new donors even return donors! Called before I came spoke with manager Lisa she stated they were not busy got to the center in under 2mins of the call upon arrival there were 11 ppl sitting in the waiting room waiting to be screened also it is not safe to have your donors there for 3 hours without eating before donating so unprofessional and against policy
They would benefit from more staff. Wait times are usually pretty long. Compared to octapharma on Broadway this place is MUCH better. The employees are Octa are horrible, and are all very mean. One even cussed at me before. I have liked everyone I have dealt with from Grifols. I come very regularly, and the compensation is better than Octa as well. They play movies as well to keep you occupied
When I was donating the place was very clean. It was reasonably quick to get onto the donation table, and after that it's up to you! The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, I never had anyone miss a vein.
This plasma center will ROB YOU OF YOUR FULL DONATION USING MULTIPLE LOOPHOLES, surprise new rules applied by managers who joke n waste time going back and forth with each other as they are in the process of sticking needles in your veins. NOW IF YOUR A NEW DONOR BUT HAVE BEEN THERE BEFORE, no matter if it's been 6 months you still don't get the 125$ new donors payments. Instead they go in and manually change your payment to only 100 for the first 2 visits then right back to regular donor status. These comp
Knocked out of the park again, in and out in 1 hour 30 min at all, round of applause to the staff... Very professional and personable. They do a fantastic job of making it as comfortable as a process like donating plazma can be...
I love donating here the ppl are always friendly! Sometimes the process can be a lil slow but i rather donate here than anywhere else. Plus octopharma screwed me over saying i had a new piercing just because i had finally decided to wear mine -_- but im thankful to biomat for giving me the chance to donate with them instead.
Come here every week for extra cash but I love coming to the nice atmosphere and the nice staff that takes care of me every time. Grifols is a great place to go If you need that extra cash for groceries every week!
Staff is generally friendly and helpful. If you're looking for a place to donate, I would recommend Grifols
They are very nice and respectful, get to watch a good show while you wait,and I seem to get in and out quick depending on which days I go in. Extra cash always helps too.
The staff is very nice here and they are cleaner than other places in town. They actually change there gloves every time. The only thing I would say could be better is the Wi-Fi ..sucks.
Everyone here is great and so informative. I didn't feel like an inconvenience even with all of my questions.
Definitely enjoy going here to donate plasma. Everyone is always friendly when I'm there. I'd like to give a shout out to Jamie as she always makes me feel comfortable when I'm there and checks on me often.
I donate at biomat every week an have done so for over a year. They have friendly knowledgeable staff. It's a very clean friendly place there's usually not much of a wait even on busy days.
This is the most efficient and friendly donor center i have ever been to. Everyone is welcoming.
This place is AMAZING! The staff are always so nice and professional. The process is seem less getting you in and out! Won't go anywhere else!
Super friendly and helpful. They always are there to help you when you need it
Love the staff and the atmosphere, they really care.
Great staff. everyone is friendly. They try to be as quick as they can to get everyone done. If you are a new donor be sure to bring state ID, know your SN.
I personally love how quick you get in and get into a chair. I love how clean the place is and how friendly the staff is. My experience has been wonderful thus far.
Nice staff fast process to donate and great promotions
The place is cleaned and organized. Most of the workers are very friendly however there is one lady there (she does the physicals dark hair in a ponytail-im going to call the center tomorrow and get her name) maybe the Med tech that is very rudeShe did my physical and made some rude comments about acne in my chest insinuating that it was a red flag (she said, "what is that" if felt really uncomfortable that she approached me in that manner and was so judgmental as if I she needed to call back up for a more
I usually donate here all the time and don't have many issues but I've been trying to donate for almost a whole month and every time I go they turn me away because I'm due for a physical and they don't have enough staff or it's ?too close to close? when it's literally two or three hours before they close I've missed bonuses and now I probably won't be able to participate in the new deal that's going on if you donate 8x you get a $100 bonus but I can't even get in to donate once they keep telling me come tom
Worth the extra money if you have the ability. Staff is attentive.
Zoe is an amazing Phlebotomist and my donation goes flawless when she is performing the process for me. I ensure I look for her when she is working and not just for the donation process but her interpersonal communications with me and other donors.
Terrible experience today became a new donor today they had a lady in training doin my intake let's just say it they ?2 hours? but today it took 3 hour and I didn't even get to finish donating. When I got back to the back the lady messed up and because of here mess up I can't donate for 8 weeks. And kind you I left there 20mins ago and still have not received my payment I will never return there horrible experience can I give a negative review
Great first donation. Great staff to interact with. Very good and clean environment better than any plasma center I'd previously went to will be back many more times.
Never had a problem donating here better than any other place I've been too. Gets a little busy sometimes but great customer service and great people overall ????
I am a perfectly health lady. A certified nurses aide in fact. I went through the whole process a new donner goes through only to be turned away. You know why I was turned away after passing and filling out everything? Because sitting in the lobby I was bored and slured a couple of words nervously talking to the nuseing attendant. Maybe before trying this place try the other one down the road on Broadway.
I've been donating here for about 2 and a half months now and it's always a great experience. Everyone who works here makes the experience fast and efficient, and welcoming.
I've been to all Plasma centers in Omaha NE & Iowa-Council Bluffs. Biomat USA is by far the most relaxing experience.There strict about keeping you safe, cant be mad at that actually got to love it. They have seating through out the process. First time donor process is fast. Your compensation for your time is grate as well. I'm still to this day to see a slow processing day donating plasma at Biomat USA!!
I drive further to go to Grifols because I know the environment is always clean, the staff are friendly and everyone gets paid equally with various bonuses; all for donating plasma to save lives. I also enjoying picking on Jeremiah and you should too, he deserves it!
Ceecee is always so welcoming and kind. Makes the experience enjoyable.
Great staff, very helpful and friendly. Wouldn't go anywhere else. Plus they're very understanding about me losing my paycard quite often lol
Would be a good place if they weren't under staff and have to wait a hour or two to get hooked up just feels like every Sunday I'm here half of my day just to donate.
Hands down best option for a donor in the Omaha/CB area. Clean, fast, proffessional with a relaxed atmosphere and endless incentivised opportunities to earn extra cash while feeling great about helping others get the life saving medications they so desperately need.
Thank you Jeri,very professional...
As always Kim is the best, she was stretched thin this Sunday, and she definitely handled it like a boss. She was training, sticking, disconnections, and so much more she is the bomb.com, stay awesome Kim??
Kassie at Grifols was amazing! Made me want to stay at this location.
This is by far the worst and most inexperienced plasma center I've been to not only are they slow but it seems like no matter what you will be in the center for 4 hours and when they could not locate my vein and by the way fishing inside my arm trying to tear up my vein and they think I'm going to let them tear my other arm up not today I should of gotten my full $145 intraday I get 5 for their inexperience 0/2 with this place will not be returning ever again this place is dangerous and could severely hurt
Friendly people. Clean facility. Great extra money.
Been going here for a year or so ?? gotten to know staff and other donors very well. Love coming to the location! You guys rock!
Grifols was the first place I donated plazma. At first I was skeptical but the friendly and attentive staff assured me that there was nothing at all to be worried about. The whole process is very sanitary and they will even show you everything about the machine that helps them collect plasma for the people in need of medicine you help create.
I always have a great time donating. The staff makes you feel so comfortable. Best place to donate at!!!! Love the staff
On Friday 7/3/20, returning for my second donation of plasma for the week, I recieved a "bad stick" meaning the phlebotomist did not place the needle correctly into my vein, therefore, causing a bruise that would measure over 2 inches. Today I return for my first donation of the week because my donation days are Tuesdays and Fridays and I learn that due to the size of the bruise I will need to wait until the doctor is in, which is only Mondays and that I lose both donations for the week which results in me
I donated at Octapharma (42nd and Center and Broadway) for a couple of years until 2 months ago when I switched over to Grifols and I couldn't be happier. Grifols is much more effecient, pleasant, cleaner, and overall better in my opinion. I'm glad I made the switch.
Very clean and awesome employees. All super nice and caring. Couldn't ask for a better place to donate at.
Love the stuff there, especially Kassie. Always a pleasant visit there
I donated at Octapharm for over a year. I didn't realize how bad it was until I went to Grifols. Grifols cares a lot more about their donors. The wait time is extremely less than Octapharm. There is no standing in line. You get to sit and watch TV until its your turn. Their screening process is a lot more in depth. They really care about the health of their donors. So, they may be a down fall for some. But, I think its a good thing.
Had an amazing experience donating. Staff was courteous, process was quick, promotions are always great. Would def recommend Biomat being your home to donate plasma
I have been donating here since 2011. I have over 740 completed donations and the staff has always been good and fun people. Love you guys and keep it up!!
They're ?? excellent with new donor's and returning donor's KIMBERLY AKA KIMBO SLICE DID an wonderful job sticking me I have real small vains and she stuck me on the first try didn't feel no pain everything went smoothly that's why I give yay'a5 stars
Great staff at this location! Won't go anywhere else to donate. Also great way to earn some extra $$!
I have to write this as much as it pains me after being a donor here for so long! I am a welder/millwright by trade and certainly don't do this for the money. But with my career come certain complications to donating. I get weld spatter burns on my arms occasionally and know that I can't donate. However, Thursday I came in with questionable burns and they said they could hit a vein on the side of my arm. All good. We'll, not quite. The phlembotomist missed. At that time they decided that they could use the
very poor, your test results may be altered if some don't like you.,There for if you cant pass the screening you cant donate, like its the staffs money they are paying you to donate time and plasma to save a life.Why go there only out of the location.people are rude.and don't use the place as a way of helping others but like they are helping you with those low payments they give you.
Great, clean and respectable center! They are friendly, and fun.
Every time I go it's a wait no matter if it's a lot or a few.Today I set there for about 50mins,I had already been sitting there.That was the last straw since it's always a long wait so I'll never go back I'll be going elsewhere.
The most relaxing place to donate. The employees are just wonderful and happy all the time. Very amazing and super fast.
Nice people ...they are really friendly.... I go there to just talk to them!!... they are very clean too!!!!..,,Sandy is the best!!!!... she is very nice and outgoing ??
Waste your time over and over. Made 2 appointments. First they couldn't get info from another location i told them to get prior.second appt wasted 2hours waiting just to start physical.
Good environment for diners to rest easy. Is handicap accessible unless severely immobile. All around a good review inside and out.
Kayla is an exceptional employee and makes the process very friendly. I enjoy the interactions with her as I process through.
This is the best place to donate. The staff is always courteous and caring. The facility is extremely clean. I love this place!
Always great service friendly staff for the most part. Only place I will donate clean safe environment.
Sloooooooooowww for no reason. Clunky process. Rude management. Uncaring. I've seen workers walk out multiple times. It's no wonder they are desparate for donors.
Great place never have a bad experience
The staff is sweet and accommodating Feel good an do good??
Friendly employees, clean facility, good response time, good at hitting veins, rarely causes any discomfort. Overall my favorite donation center to frequent.
This place is great! Very clean and it never hurts! Unlike octapharma... Every time I've gone there it hurt and the place looked dirty. This place is great and the staff is very friendly.
Very nice staff. They work hard and do there best to make sure you are comfortable
Very good ..nice clean place..nice people..nice atmosphere ..im very comfortable when im here its like going over to families house to have a warm cup of coffee and just chat awhile
Great job. heather was exceptioally accurate with stick. Sandy made my experience very pleasing and comforting

I love every time I come to donate. The staff makes me feel so important and special. I love everyone of you!
Best plasma place ive ever been to staff is always nice they are laid back and communicate well with the donors. Im to the point i want to apply for a job there cuz the enviroment is very good.
I enjoy the friendly staff and the warm vibe from everyone. They are quick and always handle with care. a
Understaffed, very slow donation process. I will end up going somewhere else. Every time I attempt to donate there it seems they have a problem getting me to the actual donation process and I get skipped over multiple times.
I went in Today for my first time the staff seemed very friendly patient and efficient with helping New donors it all went by quick as a flash
They are clean and professional. The staff is amazing. Always make you feel comfortable.
Very clean and professional and the employees are very personal with their patient's. They are not afraid to talk to them and just have a good time

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.
