    Do you pay for plasma?

    Hi Alicia - because we are a non-for-profit organization, we do not pay for any type of blood donations but always welcome blood/plasma donors.… Read more

    Inept people trying to draw blood. I've been stuck 3 times , by 4 different attendants in both arms…read morebefore they got it correct. Not all but the majority of these people are under qualified. Then they try to use that little donation to deter you from opting out. Now I've been banned indefinitely because I don't want to be your test dummy pin cushion. Oh yeah and the all time excuse is your dehydrated. BS your not good enough to do this job. Maybe go work for a vet where the customers can't complain. Good bye to bruised arms & sub par services & multiple pinholes in my arms.

    Monday was supposed to be my very first donation with Grifols. I am a bit OCD, so I repeatedly read…read moreall the required things and tips. I didn't want to miss anything, and I wanted to be sure I was going to have a successful donation. I showed up to my 6 AM appointment, and as soon as I sat down with the lady (heavy set, not very friendly), she took one look at my arms and was like "you have tattoos". I said yes, and they were all over 20 years old. She said that she was going to attempt to find a vein, but she was pretty certain she was going to deny me. I expressed that I've never in my life had issues with my veins, they are easy to find. She pressed on my arm a couple of times with her fingers, then said, "It's going to be a no, you are done here". I told her there was no information ANYWHERE that said donors were not allowed arm tattoos, and she told me that it was that location's policy. She was rude, and it's crazy that she is one of the first people you come in contact with! I attempted to contact the company, but for some reason, when you go through the "contact us" option, it won't actually submit. The whole thing was beyond frustrating. If that is their policy, fine, but they should explicitly say so; that way, people are not wasting their time for nothing.

    I came to this facility referred by a friend. If it's your…read morefirst time do not bring anyone under 18 years of age because they will not allow you to donate or stay. I never donated plasma before and was slightly nervous and scared so this review will be for first timers. Upon arrival I was greeted and told to fill out paper work and read a binder regarding donating plasma. My picture was taken and veins were inspected. After a short while I was told to watch a short video. I was then given cup noodles, lays chips and a Powerade. I did give a urine sample aswell. Blood was drawn to check my iron levels and pressure. Personal Questions were asked and a physical was done. If you have a marijuana card you will not be permitted to donate, although those who don't have have a card and smoke can however only if you haven't smoked for 1-2 weeks I believe. You do get bonuses on referrals so if you're new and want to help out a local, write down Juliana Gonzalez Anyways it's a good way to make money if you have the time. New donors take 3-5 hours depending on staff and donor count. Returning Donors 1-2.5 hours.

    The folks who conduct the exams and collect the plasma are great. That said, on the third visit, I…read morewasn't paid. I called. I went back. I explained to them that I hadn't been paid. They gave me another new Visa card. Incorrectly assuming that everyone had done their jobs I left happily go spend my $100. Guess what? Zero balance. So make sure you've been paid before you leave the premises because you can't assume that anyone there is doing their job correctly.
