I went in Friday for a pregnancy test which I already had two test of my own that said positive but just needed proof I was pregnant. The woman was very rude and they gave me FALSE results and told me I wasn't pregnant and I was.

Shericka is a receptionist at their Dental Clinic and when no one else would except my Medicaid this clinic did.. Right now they only take ages 1yr to 19yr old patients but I'm thankful to say my 3 yr old will have his first dental appointment in April.. Thank you Shericka your kind patient and caring approach to the call eased my worry and you deserve more than a 5 star review..

I want to publicly thank the Columbus County Health Director and her staff for meeting my elderly mother's need for flu and Covid shots at a critical time and in a very timely manner. Thank you for taking the health of our citizens seriously and for literally going the extra mile to provide service.

The dental program offered here is fantastic. They were compassionate and understanding. They explained information clearly, gave options and addressed any concerns. My child has high anxiety when it comes to seeing a denist they were so friendly and comforting. My child is actually looking forward to going to the denist. Would visit again and recommend. Thank you for such a pleasurable experience
