Maybe if you want to trash talk you're guest looking for certificates, do it in the back where an overworked woman does not have to hear you joke about her having to ask her husband when the marriage year was. The last thing i want to do after rushing to get things done in the limited time between getting off work and getting this paperwork before closing time is hear your "office gossip" about me. Poor judgement and tasteless.

Very nice and clean office, very helpful and assertive they have vital statistics , Wic, And the Clinic all under one roof. And Medicaid applications and a drop off box for completed applications, they service you the same day. I wish Huntsville office was similar to this and sadly they are not. They are simply the very opposite. I would highly recommend this office!

I'm pretty offended that they prioritize the mom over the dad. I got told by the worker here to babysit my other kids while my newborn and my wife go into the back. It use to be that we all could go to the back. If you need my financial information your not going to be getting it from my wife because I'm the only source of income. Also I'm just as important as the mom. If a decision needs to be made or if there is a problem I should be there. Next time I'll go in by myself and bring all my kids with me. I'll give them some candy beforehand too.

I went in for my woman exam, everyone that has spoke to me was very kind. answered all my questions and concerns. I spent about an hour there because i was a new patient, but it didn’t feel like an hour! I recommend going there
