The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I left a message and they called right back. I was able to been seen the next day and did not have to wait a long time when I got there.

Needed Hep A vaccination for work and whooping cough vaccination because I have a preemie granddaughter at home. Did a walk-in last minute and was treated with professional courteous staff in less than an hour....

I can never get ahold of anyone who works here! This is the worst clinic I have ever been to. Even, when you get there you have to sit in the waiting room for an hour and then, when they finally call you back you have to sit in ANOTHER waiting room for another hour. Even when I was in the 2nd waiting room there were 2 women complaining about how they had been in there for 2 hours and it wasn't like it was busy! This is the only clinic that I have ever been to that won't give you an extra birth control pill pack for any missed pills! This place is ridiculous!

I called Monday to make an appt for a COVID-19 test, was told I would receive a call back soon. Called back 5 hours later and was told to be patient before being hung up on. Called 48 hours after initial conversation to check on status, expressed that 2 days was too long even though I understand they are busy, was hung up on again. These people are BEYOND unprofessional and rude. This pandemic isnt a joke, people's livelihoods aren't something to play with. Absolutely disgusted by the way these "health professionals" conduct themselves.

I registered for vaccine on Monday. I began me call at 7:59, so I would complete the process shortly after 8:00, which was the starting time. I then received a text that I was registered. My understanding was that the vaccines would be made available in the order the registration was received. I am 80 years old, so they obviously are not being done according to age. I’d like to know exactly how they are being processed. I know many people who have received their first AND second dose. Some of these had family members in the medical field and were allowed to get them their vaccines. What sense does that make? I would love to be able to get vaccines!
