Well I have to say my grandson went to the doctor and needs formula the doctor sent information to them if he doesn’t get it he will end up in hospital they was told this and my daughter is still waiting it’s 1 you better believe if they are hungry they will eat if. His formula is not ready I will call every news team around to go meet us there a poor excuse for a health department

Here's my review on the meigs county health department not all but most of the women who work here are beyond rude to the point where if my son didn't need the specialized formula I would forfeit my sic completely to avoid having to deal with them the formula shortage was bad enough to have to deal with on top of some snudy women with bad attitudes!!!! It's disrespectful and unacceptable behavior.

won’t be using their Dept. No longer. I had 4 missed appointment due to medical reasons and emergencies due to a seriously complicated pregnancy and yes they knew. Hell I was pregnant going to them because of a bad calcium deficiency was taking a toll on some teeth that needed to be fixed. And now your not able to make appointments. They expect you to drop everything at the dime of a hat when someone cancels and it’s ridiculous. Definitely won’t be going back nor my children I would rather spend more money to have courtesy than 5.00 and them not respect you. They knew what me and my family was going through they chose not to listen that’s on them. Every time they called I would tell them I’m unable to come either due to bed rest or due to emergency visits to my ob, and then delivery. I have only missed one appointment by choice and that was because I had been sick and throwing up. The dentist is awesome 😎 but the staff not so much.
