This whole entire town just sucks. I called and asked for family planning and they ask "why do you need family planning?" With an attitude. These people are not professionals. It is none of their business of why I want to talk to a specific department. Never ever again will I go here. So disappointed and disrespected right now. It can burn in hell for all I care. I hope some people get good care there.
