They scheduled a phone appointment with me for 1pm, told me to call if they hadn't by 1:15. Still been ignoring my calls 45 minutes after the appointment THEY scheduled. Must be nice to force everyone else to be on your time.

Came in to have records transferred to enroll my son. Woman there told us he needed another shot because he'd had his a year too early. Contacted our pediatrician who says they counted wrong because he had it at 4 like needed! So now I have to miss work to teach someone how to count to 4 and enroll my child in school. Awesome. Not sure why this was so hard for them. Or why they have to transfer records at all when I have his shot records. It really matters to have it put on different paper?

My son went in last week and was told he had to make an appt. The lady was extremely rude to him and he’s only 16. I am trying to start making him speak for himself and do things on his own to prepare him for adulthood. She acted like he was inconveniencing her. He made his appt. However, something came up and we had to reschedule. I called 3x and left 3 messages to reschedule him and no answer or return phone call. Very poor customer service. If you don’t like your job, go work somewhere else.

The blonde lady in window two was super nice and helpful. When the guy at the front desk almost brushed me off because I didn't have an appointment she spoke up and offered her help and She made it very easy and stress free and the nurse made my son comfortable and even offered a free fluoride treatment to my son.

Needed to pick up a Certified Death Certificate for my mother's use. Both Mychaela & Cindy were very helpful through the process. My elderly mother is not mobile, Mychaela came out to parking lot to the car where my mother was, for signature, even though it was probably 25F outside. Everything went smooth, and both were professional and courteous. Thank you again George
