This location reminds me of the old Bell County Health Department on 9th street that showed concern for the needs of the children. Temple new location and staff as well as the process need to reevaluate -their process is broken. There was a parent and child that had been waiting in line since 3 am and a parent of 4 came up at 7am-cut in line with her friend and went in. The Temple staff came out and told us that they can’t take no more in.and that lady waiting since 3 am did not get to go in. SMH

just want to commend Waco-McLennan Health District staff, the workers at the check out office and the vital statistics office were awesome. They were both friendly, smiling, helpful and efficient. The process was very quick and simple. Thank you all for making this so quick and easy:)

All the birth certificate workers do is sit up and gossip and talk smart to the guess at the window when interrupted. Immunization upstairs is the worse. I’m the only patient twenty minutes before a TB read came in. Then another patient. Now I’m on thirty minutes of being here and still nothing. They hate being interrupted, so they make you wait. This is ridiculous and beyond me. It should not take this long to be seen. Ms. Joronda Bean took thirty minutes to enter my daughter information into the system. Now I’m waiting to be called to the back. Don’t think it will be anytime soon. The TB read, address wasn’t right on the other patient paper. So they are redoing it over for the third time, while I simply wait going on 45 minutes now.
