Genuinely the most kind, helpful, accessible medical care I’ve received in a long time. What a blessing these folks are! And they’re very quick to get you in.

We drive from Blairsville near Gannon County line ever since our Dr's office told us about them. Everyone is so nice and extremely efficient. We have a significant health issue that requires frequent blood draws. My hubby is extremely difficult to do...they are THE BEST at phlebotomy...more so than any lab or hospital. We feel safe and well cared for here..like family. A true blessing that we found them. They even went above and beyond one day by having us come in early on a day they wouldn't normally draw blood for an emergency need. Thank you all!!

I truly, genuinely cannot say enough, good things about this establishment! I’m not sure where to start between my personal visits or the visits with my daughter! My daughter‘s first dental experience was horrible!! so I was naturally wary when I brought her to Clay County Health Department , however, after a few minutes, I heard lively conversation,patience and compassion being used with her, and it was such a refreshing moment .The staff here are always so friendly and kind , with an upbeat, positive attitude. It’s like a visit with friends whenever I come in for a dentist appointment. I even appreciate the secretary, for when there are cancellations or if I need an appointment quickly, they always keep me in mind. I have always recommended Clay County Health Department, dentistry and I will continue to always recommend them. I would give more stars if I could.

What a great place. The building itself is nice and airy and clean, people not crowded. Very efficient and helpful people up front and the ladies who did my vaccines and drew my blood were so kind and upbeat. Both made me feel relaxed and took time to talk a little instead of rushing but also got things done quickly. Didn't feel the shot or the needle for drawing blood. Talented ladies. I'm so grateful we have a place this nice when needed. Thank you to all there for making the decision experience such a pleasant one. This old lady appreciated it. 😊
