“I’m a little disappointed I have been in this clinic approximately 4 years they have changed 3 doctors on me they changed my medication so many times they add some or they they increase the doses some make me sleepy others nausea or other symptoms they only say you will get used to it almost saying get over it and deal with it in a way. I wish there was some really good doctors out there doctors that really care for their patients unfortunately I had one but she resigned I guess when you are good and don’t listen to them you become indispensable so sad .”

“Service is fine. I couldn't be more whitebread and didn't feel the service was worse than any other Public Health. I am grateful this place exists. Do not drive. There is zero parking in the neighborhood.”
