We received our second vaccine today at the drive through. Everything went smoothly. Everyone was helpful and very friendly. The whole process went very efficiently.

I have never been more disappointed than I am today I got tested June 26, 2020. Their documents say 3/5 days for results. I finally ended up at the emergency room today because I was so sick and I couldn’t even tell the doctor or nurses my symptoms I called and got blaza answers . This is our life and it’s up to you to give us straight up answers. By the way, it’s after 5:00 pm on the fifth day.

Wow! I went with a friend to an appointment he had and witnessed the most horrific service ever! If these old people are not able to work or don’t want to, retire and give some young people a chance to do the job they can’t or won’t do! This lady obviously DID NOT want to be there! This world as we once knew it is gone! Back in the day, customer service was EVERYTHING! The Customer was always right (even if they wasn’t, we had to treat em right!) Unreal!!!!

This place was falsely rated. Let me just tell you now.... I went to 3 health departments in Augusta just trying to get papers for school. They were so busy, with lines out the door before they even opened!!! Well a friend at work recommended the Waynesboro health department and I told her I had overlooked them because of their ratings. She told me to give them a call so I did. They got me in the same week that I called. All of the ladies are super sweet. Well there is one front desk lady that's a tad moody but the ladies in the back are amazing. I now use this facility regularly. They always get me in the same week, it's a clean facility, I never wait long and since I have to pay 100% out of pocket because my income is too high to get a discount, the ladies help me find discounts for paying up front and all at once. They are amazing. I have NO IDEA why this place is rated the way it is. They are in a new building now & I hope my review doesn't make everyone go there because Lord knows I feel like I have found a little gem that not everyone knows about tucked away in little ol Waynesboro. I drive 30 minutes to come here and would drive an hour if I had to! Thanks ladies for always being awesome.

I have to point out Darlene, I love her! She’s so sweet and understanding, I always enjoy talking with her. She makes me feel relaxed and comfortable. Great job Burke County Health department, yall are hiring the perfect employees!
