The KedPlasma personnel then instructed me to thoroughly review the information in a Binder with health facts and other basic deferral knowledge. In this Binder it states "A recent tattoo may affect your eligibility to donate for a period of 4 months up to 12 months, depending on the state in which the tattoo was applied. You may be eligible to donate if your tattoos are older." After reviewing the information in the binder I was instructed to watch a 20 minute video that basically reiterated the information given in the Health Binder. After the video then came a 50+ questionnaire that I accurately completed. Then came the Health screening that was given to me by an impeccably courteous staff member by the name of Aseel. After passing the Screening I met with the Physician, a very colorful woman by the name of Brandi, with a tattoo of a Caterpillar on one ear and a Butterfly on the other. As a part of the physical she had to log all of my tattoos in detail so they would be able to tell if I ever received any new tattoos in the future. Which makes complete sense because hepatitis can be received through dirty needles that could possibly come from a tattoo, but my tattoos are 8 years old and healthy. After logging the tattoos on my forearms we came to the one on my left pectoral and then Brandi the Physician stated "It is the Policy of KedPlasma to deny anyone with a gang tattoo." I am a 27 year old black male that has been denied an opportunity to donate plasma at their facility not because of my health but because my tattoo is GANG RELATED. I have donated at the CSL Plasma and Octapharma Plasma centers with these same tattoos and was not denied. What my tattoo says should not determine the value of the person that who is donating. This is the clearest practice of discrimination I have ever endured and I deeply believe that "Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are." -Benjamin Franklin

Much cleaner than a couple of other donation centers I have used that were run by other companies…read more Friendly staff. No long lines, no ridiculous wait times for getting in to make a donation. Only thing I can think of that needs attention is that the center staff needs to be paying more attention to how people are wearing their masks. At my donation yesterday I watched a donor come in with their mask under their chin, both mouth and nose exposed. They just stood there waiting to be called to make their donation. When they were called the person who leads people to where they will lie down to make their donation was completely oblivious to the guys mouth and nose being totally exposed and brought him into the area where we were already donating. On my visit prior to that, while I donated, I noted six donors wearing their masks below their nose that I could see from my vantage point. There may have been others. When a staff member came to check on my progress I mentioned it, she went around telling them to pull their masks up over their nose. I know the staff works hard all day managing all the donations as they occur but we shouldn't have to point out the obvious.

I'm not sure what's going on at this GRIFOLS-Biomat location but the customer service has gone…read moresouth suddenly. I'm not new to this group and I can confirm there's been a shift in the past few months. The management is micro managing the employees and they have become robotic, inefficient and RUDE. From the front staff to management something's gone south! Management walks around like they are Gods making smirky reprimands to staff right in front of clients. That's me. I'm the client and I'm about 10 seconds from walking away and never returning. In addition to the negative environment I've experienced, I recently noticed staff/phlebotomist's with 1-1.5 inch fake nails. This is just gross. I don't want someone who wipes their butt with fake nails that could easily break the protective gloves exposing my blood stream to the disgusting crap hiding under their fake nails. How is this even allowed? Studies show that human nails are an incubator for germs and viruses. Add the fakes that trap more and you have a breeding ground for bacteria. You people need to rethink your management choices and heads need to roll. You are overwhelming your staff while the management are basically worthless and not only NOT contributing to the basic flow of business but are a huge detriment. DO BETTER!
