There needs to be a training for the employees on how to remain professional in conversation and in tone! After I calmed the employee down, we were able to get things done in an effective and professional way! Professionalism should come FIRST!

If I could give 0 stars I would. Wic is incredibly judgmental. So if you are in need of help or needing wic be ready to be judged. If your child has any eating disorders and your child’s pediatrician has sent over everything they do NOT care. They treat all first time moms as if they don’t know anything. The person above wic is just as harsh in tone as the wic people.

The people working in the office here are so polite, professional, and super fast! I really feel like they genuinely care about my health, and it shows in how efficiently they handle everything. Also the doctor/nurse practitioner here is absolutely the best. She treated me like an old friend, and made me super comfortable during my first visit. She is smart and well informed, and asked insightful questions about my history before prescribing me anything. After my last office, I am super impressed! My only complaint is that you don't offer the Nuva Ring as an option for birth control. Hopefully you will be able to add it in the future!
