Shout out to Ms. Allison, Mareya, and the rest of the top-tier staff at Grifols Plasma Donation Center! This is my very first time donating, and now I'm in my third week--and let me tell you, the experience has been nothing short of amazing. The staff is incredibly welcoming, kind, and most importantly, gentle. As a healthcare professional myself, I have a keen eye for hygiene practices, and Grifols exceeds expectations! From proper hand hygiene and consistent glove changes to thoroughly sanitizing the area after every donor--YES, talk love to me! Thank you to the entire team for making this not only possible, but truly life-changing for those in need of plasma. If you're looking to donate and make a difference (with sweet compensation too), this is the place. Open 7 days a week Last check-in is at 7 PM First-time donor bonuses If no one referred you--well, now you have! Recommended by K. Del Real 10/10 - Highly recommend. read more

they are racist they called me a nigger and said they only take whites so the told be that black are not allowed there

They are really nice people that like to make conversation and will help you with any ?'s

I was denied at biomat because of a surgery, but the fact that I waited over 3 hours to be denied and with only 4 people waiting to donate. The nurse was completely unprofessional and wouldn't recommend this place to anyone that doesn't have time to waste. It's a sad day when you try to find a way to give back and do better and they play these kinds of unnecessary games. The staff was great but the nurse didn't seem to care how long people waited and entertained her private conversations and her I'm sorrys . read more

Employees Were disrespectful, they don't care about you they just care about there time there... excuses after excuses.... seems like they really aren't tryin to help the community... one lady wore the same gloves she used on me an the 2 before me ! if you want my honest opinion!! GO TO BIO LIFE IN PASCO ! they treat you way. water an the machines are better too ! when grifols destroys your veins they did to mine, when they pull the needle out the rip it instead of being gentle. worst experience i ever had at a plasma center !! read more

Biomat USA - Blood & Plasma Donation Centers Near Me - Kennewick, Washington

If I could give -10000 I would. I would not recommend going to donate here, after you've received the new donor pay they basically give the least possible. Employees are rude & disrespectful some don't even know what they are doing on the floor. All the employees are obviously not on the same page because they all say what they want & get no type of repercussion for their false advertisement. I get told i'm being paid one amount then get less & they make excuses after excuses. I had one of the nurse put my account on hold because I called her out on her shit, later was taken off hold by another employee. This place is a joke, I would definitely never come back here again. read more

I was a long time donor. When I returned to start donating again they list me as a client. They gave my card to another donor, who withdrew from it thinking it was their money, and when I reported it to them instead of fixing it or looking into it I was pushed off to the bank, who wanted permission to pursue the individual for fraud. That was over4 months ago. I went back to donate and was put off because they didn't have any physicals available for me (they do them first come first serve) and I had no notification in the booking system. I had a friend whom I had referred and it took them 2 hours, and two different employees being asked, to tell me that he didn't qualify as a referral for me. Prior to these last few encounters of have given them 4 stars, but now? They've slipped dramatically in their pursuit of efficiency. read more

Started going to Biomat in July of this year the staff is always friendly and smiling! The phlebotomist are well trained and work together to help one another to make sure they take care of you! Tried another place was not happy with the phlebotomists or staff. Would recommend Kennewick Biomat to everyone... read more

This place is SO UNCOORDINATED and SLOW. All employees have no idea what there doing. First time we went here waited 6 hours which is ridiculous. For the month of May you would receive 100$ first 5 times. On the 3rd time we went we got 50$ but they said it was because of the new month of June. Weeks go by, my friends were still getting 100$ even though it was June. So we call and come to find out we were supposed to be getting 100$ but whoever we talked to be before said no. Just shows they all have no idea what there doing. They have lost my pee 3 times. It takes hours to get out of here. They are never on time for your appointment. They need employees that know what their doing & they need to add more space like pasco. PASCO ONE IS WAY BETTER. Very organized, know what their doing & you in and out of there VERY quick. I definitely recommend PASCO biolife! read more

People...remember that usually only disgruntled people take time to add a review.... WIth that in mind, I have been donating at Biomat Kennewick for almost 1 year. They are awesome... Their staff is very professional and fast. Of course they are fast! That's how they are trained and reviewed!! I have never had a really bad experience there. Sometimes it takes as little as an hour, but most often the entire process takes 1:30 to 1:45. Biomat is growing fast and doing a pretty decent job in the process... 5 STARS FROM ME!! read more

If I could give 0 stars I would I was on my last return of my blood during my return I noticed something weird my filter for blood was defective chunks came back into my veins now Im concerned I could develop a blood clot they purchase the lowest bidders supply's then use them medically and explain you signed a paper explaining the risks read more

I donated today and had a great time. There were movies to watch and staff was very kind and professional. As far as pain, I did not think it was any worse than a blood donation. read more

The bitches in the front waste so much time talking and doing other bullshit. They just stand up from trying to look cute and talking to each other about nothing that has to do with work. And get maybe 2-3 clients screened every 30 minutes. It's ridiculous. What are they being paid for? They have 5-6 girls in the front and back just sitting around chatting. And everything goes by so slow because of it. They need to get it together I'm also reporting to BBB. Unacceptable get it together Biomat. I would give them half a star if I could. Hire people who actually want to work!!! Why do we sign up for appointments if we're not going to be seen or called up for another 30-60 minutes. Not cool at all. read more

Painfully slow even with the "new system. The girls here taking forever to hook up the machine and way to chatty

They're so uncoordinated. Misquote everything they say. Rip you off money. I definitely won't be donating in this Biomat ever again. My last donation, which was today, totally waste of my damn time. read more

This place pays $30 for plasma donation. It's a long prescreening process and if u don't qualify ur day is wasted. I qualified and was allowed to donate the same day but it was painful. As a result, I don't think I can be a long term donor. read more

This location is not interested in acquiring new donors. Or even returning ones. My girlfriend and I went down today as new donors. I have donated for a period of about 2 months at a Spokane based center, and my girlfriend donated at this (grifols kennewick) center for about 6 months approx. 4 years ago. We have both donated for extra cash in the past, and so we are a little familiar about the process. After waiting for 2 hours, I was led back to a small room where I was told I would not be able to donate because of a kidney disease I had as a toddler. While this may seem like a valid reason, I am healthy and have not had an issue with my kidney since my operation... when I was 4. They basically asked me if I had EVER been sick or had any sort of medical issue, and this is it. So apparently you must be a perfect specimen. This incident, however, is not the issue at hand. My SO waited around for another 1.5 hours after I left. She was urine and blood tested and inspected. AFTER this, not before, the technician asked about a piercing that was noted on paperwork that was not noted on the paperwork when she was donating at this location 4 years ago. She told the tech that she forgot she ever had the piercing but remembered it this time, and made a note of it for them. The tech proceeded to imply she lied to Grifols years ago, and banned her from donating on the spot. Meanwhile, the staff is joking and palling around with the regulars in the lobby who are obviously not in great health and very, very likely on drugs. Common sense tells me these people likely lied through the whole process, and Grifols Biomat USA can wash its corporate hands while sucking their blood. TL:DR Don't waste your time donating at this location - unless you lie, the lazy techs will find a reason to not strap you in. read more

I have been donating for the last 5 year. Yes, the prescreening is long and can take anywhere from 3 to 5 hours. But your first 5 donations have a nice pay out to them. Then its easy every time you come back in. Just check in, wait in the lobby and watch some TV or play on your phone. Get a short prescreening and then go to the back and donate your plasma. Yes its still a little time consuming. Your total time there still averages about 2 to 3.5 hours. The pay rates change every now and then. same as the first 5 donations can change the pay rate. Right now they pay $35 for the first donation of the week and $55 for the second. They have some nice promotions as well. I like the pay and that I am helping to save a life but the time it takes is the worst part. I don't mind pain and most of the time it dose not hurt but there is, on occasion, an off day where it dose hurt and the proses gets slowed down and makes that donation more of a hassle than its worth. BUT they do listen to you and try to help make you feel better and will disconnect you if that's what you want. its not all bad. I have been doing this for 5+ years. read more

Clean, competent and friendly. The new appointment system made my time there efficient. They have current movies to watch while you donate. I learned that there are patients whose lives depend on plasma. The $$ to compensate for my time was an added bonus. New donators can earn $150 in 1 1/2 weeks! read more

I went 5 times in December.....3 out 5 were painful when inserting needle...everyone is very friendly......only once whole procedure took 1 1/2 hours, the other 4 took 2 1/2 hours......kind of unnerving to sit around for so long.....so if it didn't hurt and they were more efficient with the time, I'd sign up regularly.... read more

Biomat in Kennewick. You'll wait for three hours to be told to go home. If you don't check in, because whoever is working the check in isn't there, you'll be yelled at, belittled, and told to make another appointment. You can't leave the building once you've checked in, not even if you have anxiety, to get a breath of fresh air. They keep it freezing in that place so dress warm or you'll freeze before you've been seen. The new system has you give them your finger print, blood, social security, birth date, address, and plasma it's amazing they don't ask for your first born. Only two gals up front are competent enough to actually work there and the workers in the back are amazing but aren't treated properly. The manager likes to tell the workers how to do their job when he himself has no idea what he is doing himself. The system is not working and I hate "donating" here now. I've been "donating" here for years and I've hate how they've changed. I would not suggest anyone to come here. read more

Yes I have been a donor for 10 years and came back after a 3 or 4 year leave.I went back and they claimed they wanted to permanently defer me because I was not honest about my tattoos but the whole time they told me it was just a big misunderstanding and that they were waiting on quality control to give the go ahead to donate again.Also I have never gotten more tattoos since I first started donating way back in 1998 it is now 2015 I still do not have any new tats.I was kept there from 4 pm until 8:45 only to have them tell me I was permanently deferred.Tomorrow I am going back there to sort things out because they even had several mistakes in my files but do not want to own up to it and I am going to prove this by contacting other donation centers where I have donated.Then I am going to contact corporate and the BBB.This is gross mismanagement on behalf of employees who are breaking the rules based on railroading me and others based on no facts whatsoever.Until this matter is resolved I will not recommend anyone to donate.I gave it 3 stars because if it hadnt been for the corrupt bias and discrimination on the part of employees there it would be 5 stars.They need to tell people up front that they have evidence of what is on file because not everyone has a perfect memory and I certainly did not lie about anything.Biomat grifols would make far more money if they hired competent employees. read more

Even if you are in perfect condition they will make sure they try an find any reason to not let you donate. Whether its because the heart rate machine messes up and does not read anything 3 times, then they will differ you for the entire day rather then trying a different machine or simply trying again. Another example is if the needle clogs with skin or a scab or any reason due to the inexperience of the sticker during your donation you will be differed for 2 months, again nothing to do with anything you did wrong. Also if they mess up sticking you they will tell u that if u dont let them attempt at sticking the other arm then you wont get your money, so u will have to leave with 2 bandaged arms instead of just one. Don't be surprised if they expect you to be a test dummy for a new hire, and you may have to ask multiple times about where the money on your card is 30+ minutes after you have already completed your donation. read more
