I've been going here for years, the doctors are very pleasant the nurses are even greater yes I have to wait a little bit sometimes but to me that's a small price to pay considering they will see you no matter what and in a country where you have to have insurance no matter what otherwise you pay in blood practically to me waiting 30 minutes past my appointment time is a small price to pay the only critique I have is that when you're sick it's kind of hard to get in soon while you're sick but to be fair I'm pretty sure they have thousands of cases of people who don't have insurance because of course America's Medical system is completely screwed up

Tess was so helpful and professional as I was trying to obtain shots for my child. She went above and beyond to help me get the situation handled. I cannot say enough nice things about the service I received today.

I have had a great deal of care from the health department,and the staff and the Doctor has been nothing but amazing to me and I prefer to see the doctor at the health clinic than see one at a regular doctor's office.
