Most staff is amazing, however the new bunch of phlebotomist lack people skills. It seems more like a Highschool lunchroom rather than a place of business. Staff members would rather talk then work, bringing their personal life into the

Grifols was unprofessional to say the least, Their staff is incompetent, unprofessional, and rude. Let me start by saying I am a veteran of the medical field with a 16 year career and have moved up in my scope of practice starting as a phlebotomist. their Phlebs are only required to have their cert and are trained on the JOB which is not concerning, this is common. but their lack of skill and oversite is appalling. Twice now I have been turned away because someone could not stick me, "usually shuffling their workers through to look at me until they find the 1 competent overworked staff member" while They make rude comments about patients veins. Their turnover rate is high and I can hear the staff complain about working conditions and always being understaffed. "this has occurred 5 times." I started this as a hobby not because I need the money. I will not be going back again.

I have been coming to this location for quite awhile and in the last year or so I have seen new faces but one that sticks out has got to be Darren. Darren always has a good attitude and is great at engaging customers in conversation and getting the job done quickly and effectively, so that we can get our donations done and continue with our day! Thank you Darren!!

Staff are so amazing. They have a strong team so not alot of turnover. You can still make an appointment so no endless lines. I always feel comfortable in asking questions. I get to watch television while I'm donating. But what I really appreciate the most is that I trust the staff to do things correctly. I've thought about donating elsewhere but I keep coming back to Tacoma Grifols. A+ Experience!

Can i donate if a bruise has turned a greenish yellow color

Depends on location. If it's near an elbow, you'll have to use the other arm. I've donated with bruises before. It won't stop you from donating.

This month, they offered $40 for your 1st, 3rd and 5th donations of the month. $60 for the 2nd and 4th. $100 for the 6th, 7th and 8th donation of the month. So if you donate eight times in February you would get a total of $540.
