I've been going to this center for 4 months. They are clean, less crowded, and give better bonuses. They do appointments so no waiting around your in and out. Best place to donate! 💵💵

Nice friendly staff. Not much wait time when I set my appointment which is great. The long-time staff members are great, and they get to know you by name and understand how to solve any issues. Overall good experience since I have been coming to this center, just one suggestion, would be to let the donors complete the questionnaire on via a website before arriving, as I think a lot of donors would like that and it would cut down on wait time, which sounds like the main issue.

I’ve only been coming here for a couple months but the staff are always helpful and know how to make sure you’re comfortable during the whole donation process. Friendly faces and funny antics makes me like to come to this center and not another. Even when they’re crazy busy, they just seem to understand and try to get us all in and out without too much drama

Have been going here now for over a year now and have had a great experience every visit. They have recently improved their waiting area, that being shorter wait times. Scheduling has never been an issue and the staff here are informative and very friendly. Have recommended this place to many and will continue to do so. Thank you for you time and service and look forward to future donations!

How much do you get paid on your first time

Antoinette Martin | Aug 31, 2020
Raymond Ramos | Aug 31, 2020

New donor bonus is still available. $50 for EACH of your first four donations. They do not always have this promotion so I suggest you take advantage of it. Expect your very first visit to take 4-6 hours. They will tell you it's only two, but it's more. That's only for the very first time. Tell them Raymond Ramos sent you! :-)

Can i donate here if i have donated somewhere eles in less than 30days

Shirley Evans | Sep 1, 2018
Iaqumoh Abraxas Orionne (Jaqdeth) | Sep 1, 2018

You have to wait 30 days before the transfer takes effect, it's their policy it's about your blood when you're on a certain white blood cell cycle, every Tuesday every Thursday, and you move to a different location you have to let the white cells grow back before you can start a new one at a different location that's just my personal experience, that's why I don't donate there anymore, I was going to start donating for Phogam, at that facility which is a different cycle and they said I had to wait 30 days before I could start which would have cut into my pocket so I stopped going there

Yes you can return and yes you would be processed as a new donor. Grifols is only a phone call away for ANY & ALL questions. They are always friendly and helpful with customer service questions. That's why they are there, to help answer any thing you have on your mind. Believe me, I have called many times.
