I love my doctor there, but any time calling the clinic you always get sent to voicemail you call again just sent to voicemail so if you have an urgent need I wouldn't count on getting a hold of anyone there. For days or not at all. Update on review! I called the clinic today asked to schedule an appointment in the next week, week and a half that I was having breathing problems. The receptionist was very rude and told me that she cannot get me in until August 12 today is June 20th they are not an emergency clinic I explained I knew that I just needed an appointment before that time frame she told me to go to urgent care or the emergency room if I needed medical care before then. Not sure if community health have promoted receptionist to make it medical decisions for their patients.

The front staff are rude, when I asked to set up an appointment for a UTI I was told to go over to urgent care! The front staff clerk decided what my healthcare should look like! I was never able to get into see my doctor any attempts to get around the front clerk were denied! I then called to refill a script for back spasms, I did finally get an appointment only a month later I never did recieve a script for muscle relaxer nor did I recieve a call back from a nurse! The treatment they give their clients is sub-par!

Edit: I am unsure of why the front desk is the complete opposite of the doctors. Every time I call they are rude, and while I was there the scheduler decided to talk about my papsmear loud enough so that the entire waiting room could hear. How embarrassing and unprofessional. Took me while to get in as a new patient, but I've never met a more attentive and kind group of doctors! Definitely the best place in town for health care.
