Kitchen inspections are always a pain. Got inspected by Jesse today and he was very respectful and helpful! I always appreciate how Brice and the other inspectors are very kind and helpful! From past experiences in a previous state other than Maryland, any type of "health inspection" was someone being very rude and not much fun at all!! Keep the good work up guys! I appreciate what your doing!

Recently, when my friend came in to get her tooth pulled, she was severely misgendered and mistreated by the staff due to their own personal prejudices. Absolutely unacceptable, will not be allowing my family to have any work done here any longer due to the horrible attitudes of staff towards others that are different than them.

I was in pain with a loose tooth. I called all the local dental offices and Garrett county health departments. Amy the only one scheduled me in. The receptionist, Amy and Dr. Jason are all very friendly and professional. They took me in and out in no time. I also got to learn all of my teeth from Dr. Jason ,and Jason is the first Dr. Ever pointed out the extra tooth under my permanent teeth and the baby one.

While I can’t attest for every office located within the Health Department, I’ve utilized Healthy Families/Early Care Programs, WIC, the dental clinic, and population health and outreach and all of the staff have been wonderful with us. A special shoutout to Healthy Families who have always gone above and beyond to support me and my daughter through everything. Their support and compassion truly made (and still makes!) such a difference, especially at a time when we needed it the most. Cannot recommend them enough!
