Best experience here. The reviews do not do this place justice at all. It's been a long while since I've had to use wic however I got a placement for foster care that was still on formula so they referred me here and it couldn't have been any more easier. Great people and very helpful. Would recommend over killeen any day! Thank you guys!

They always help me get in and out super fast. They give me a lot of good information for my kids. They really care about what they are doing. I actually like going to my appointments. My kids have fun in the waiting area and I will continue to use their help until I don't need help anymore.
