They do a good job down there of following up and are non judgmental in what can already be a tough situation for most.

Went to the Mid America Center to get my first shot yesterday, was extremely nervous, everyone there was extremely professional and put my mind at ease. Great crew, thanks for your service to our community.

Went for my covid shot yesterday and was amazed at how fast and smooth everything was. Friendly, helpful people steered me through the process and before I knew it, nurse Amy had completed the shot and I was done. A whole group of strangers walked out together, commenting on how easy the experience was. Great job!

They do provide some good and extremely helpful services. Their hours are hard when you work a normal hours job. Had an experience with a std testing individual where there was inaccurate information and made to feel shamed. Drove all the way over for an later hours walk in clinic to be told told even though arrive an hour before they were to be done that there was one person waiting and there wouldn't be enough time. Makes no sense. Especially since nobody was waiting in the waiting area. Was a long drive wasted.
