This is a great clinic, and probably saved my life. I have high blood pressure and other issues that were not taken care of because I have no Ins.
Faith Family Clinic has taken care of all my issues, including blood work and removal of a cyst in my neck. (and did biopsy).
Now I can go on a regular basis for follow ups and don't have to worry about going broke.
It does not handle hospital stays, but with the preventive care hopefully they can be avoided.

I became a client of Faith Family Clinic after being in an emergency situation where I believed I was having a heart attack back in February of 2012, the doctor at the hospital recommended this facility to me. At the time, I had no insurance and no primary care physician, I am also diabetic and had not seen a doctor in over three years. I had previously spent hundreds of dollars on medical coverage plans that only offered high monthly premiums and no coverage when I needed it most, this is why I had no coverage at the time. I was one of those individuals that "fell through the cracks" when it came to medical care. I made too much money to qualify for assistance, and I didn't make enough to be able to afford high premiums; well, I could pay the high premiums, but then I couldn't afford to go to the doctor and pay my co-pay and pay for meds!
Without insurance, for those times when I became ill due to allergies or sickness, or during an emergency situation, I had to pay out of pocket for all expenses for all situations. I saw no hope in sight.

Upon my first visit to Faith Family Clinic, I was told that they only saw individuals who do not have insurance and wanted to make sure that was the case with me, I confirmed that I had no insurance. But I also was worried that I would be turned away because I was employed and made too much to qualify for assistance. I informed the office staff that I was employed, she simply took my application and asked me to wait.

While waiting, I was given a note card. It was a simple card with a beautiful message written by the doctor, which said "God has led you to us, and it is through faith that we are here to help you as much as possible." I began to cry, for I believed that He was answering my prayers. Could this be a place where I fit?

The doctor came in and saw my emotional state, I explained what I had been through over the years and that I believed I had finally found a medical care home that would know who I am, and know how to help me overcome my diabetes and provide the care I would need to continue to live a full life. At the end of our visit, she held my hands and prayed over me. This has never happened to me ever before!

Being a medical care member of Faith Family Clinic, I do not have to worry about high monthly premiums and costly office visit deductibles, because when you are sick, the last thing you need to worry about is how you are going to pay to get well. God Bless the doctors and staff of Faith Family Clinic, I will soon be an individual with a "history" of diabetes!
