I have followed this group for decades, and always been impressed with their dedication to their clientele and to the work they are doing. I read the one other review, and it is apparent that the individual was poorly served by them. On the other hand, I have seen first hand the long hours and hard work of those involved with their clinics, and feel that the overwhelming majority of the clients are very grateful for their services.

This place is a joke!! I am a full time student with a part time job and I have no insurance. I have several health issues which require constant care. This so-called charitable organization who told me that it would be a month and a half to two months wait to be seen left me waiting for almost six months to get an appointment and saved me a whopping $23!! I was charged $82 for a doctor to talk to me for 15 minutes and $50 for one blood test!! If this is how they help people who are uninsured and have medical needs...they might as well have kept their help!! If I knew it was going to cost me that kind of money to be seen, I would have went to a real doctor six months ago instead of waiting. My aunt has a general practitioner who charges $60 for an initial office visit and only makes new patients wait two weeks to get in. I'm glad I'm not dying of something requiring constant attention or I would have died waiting for these people to "help" me!!! On the up side the doctor I met with was very nice and seemed genuinely concerned but that did not help my financial situation at all.

Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Re-evaluate the financial guidelines they use to decide their sliding scales and make the clinic a little more accessible to people who need their help.
