I was a walk-in for STI testing today. I'm new to the area, unemployed, & uninsured. My out-of-pocket cost was $5. Ms. Teresa at the window accepted a copy of my lease agreement as proof of residency, Mr. Christian was informative during my sexual health interview, and Ms. Christine was very kind during my lab testing. I wholeheartedly recommend this health center to all Montgomery County residents.

I came here with my mother so that she could do some lab testing. We were told that she would get her results in about a week or so. We started to worry as the week went by and we still have not received an update. My mom would call in every week, worried sick that something might have went wrong, and every week her nurse would tell her that they would check up on it and call back. They never called back. After a few weeks, we decided to call a different nurse to ask for updates on her labs. We were told that the results were made available a few weeks prior. The failure of the nurse to simply call back and update my mom on her lab results placed a great strain of stress and anxiety, for which I cannot forgive. I came here again to get my blood drawn and left with purple bruises on both of my arms. I was told that I don't need any more appointments and that they would call me about the results. A day later, they called and told me that I needed to come back in again because they apparently used the wrong material to collect my samples. This was such an inconvenience. I came back the second time, hoping they would get it right this time. I'm no expert at drawing blood, but I do know that I shouldn't be bleeding this much just for collecting samples. I'm usually not afraid of needles and getting my blood drawn as my past experiences were smooth sailing, but after my second visit, I walked out of that clinic with a new found fear. Overall, staff are friendly, but their employees need more training.

I did a walk-in at the vital records office to receive a birth certificate and I was wholeheartedly expecting it to be as treacherous as the DMV. But to my surprise, it was so quick and easy!! I filled out the paperwork beforehand which got checked at the lobby, proceeded to the office which was super easy to find, and only had to wait for a few people before me. I was there about 20 minutes from start to finish. Both the records employee and cashier were kind and professional. Definitely recommend!
