Whoever called me today to update WIC benefits was rude and very unprofessional! Before judging someone know their story! Seems as if she was having a bad day and needed someone to take it out on and chose a customer. If you don’t like your job , why are you there?

If they actually answer the phone they are the most rude and disrespectful people. Good luck getting any help from this clown show.

Some assistants were very rude to both adults and children. I arrived 15 minutes before the appointment, but I still had to wait for few hours. They are interrupted me while I was talking and didn’t smile at all. I am not happy with this experience.

Rude and useless staff. I've been waiting 3 months to see a neurologist. They lied and said it was my fault, then denied lying (even though I have it recorded). My food benefits are about to get cut-off because of their useless and unprofessional behavior. Zero work ethic and just play the blame game instead of doing the jobs they are paid - with our tax dollars - to do.

Public service is a tough role to play by itself... but public service as the health department is a whole other animal. I've only had to come here a handful of times over the years to pick up copies of birth or death certificates and I have always had a great experience. Kind and helpful.
