Report
I'll say that the women's health department is not so good! But the dental department I really liked was super nice! And fast.

Report
The most unprofessional health center I have ever dealt with. I never leave reviews but at this point, I felt the need to. I called wanting to simply change contact information and was immediately redirected to another department before I could finish my sentence. Then that department answered and snapped, claiming she had no power to change the phone number they had listed. There is a lack of communication within the center and absolutely no professional worker there. This was my second time calling and I was calm both times but now I'm just going to move on to a different health center.
