I am grateful for the Whitney M.Young,Jr.Health Center . They are doing an amazing job taking care of the sick especially the most vulnerable in our community. I went there and I appreciate the manner in which they addressed my health concerns.

Wonderful almost all in one stop shop for almost all my health needs. Accessible via bus and car. Personable personnel, who strive to understand needs and provide care.

I have been trying to schedule a dentist who takes Medicaid since last spring. I have over crowded teeth and am in pain. I made sure to call early enough to not be that person who calls around closing. I was on hold for over 3 hours and they closed while I was waiting for someone to pick up. I understand that things get busy but I spent the last hour of the call as “Caller 1”.

I have PTSD. My counselor her name is Lauren. She went Bob and beyond to help me and to have me understand what I was going through. She's very lovable compassion and very concerned. I've been through many counselors and she's the one I'm not trade in for nothing. And I also have an aunt she's 76 Matthew is her primary doctor. My aunt has a lot going on with her diabetes and many more health issues. Even the office upstairs and downstairs they have been amazing... And they always have a smile I think that helps us because we know somebody cares thank you so much.. as we continue our journey at Whitney Young..

The receptionist that was pregnant acted busy. The Spanish female was taking her sweet time to check me out, because the other workers were conversing. Overall it’s always a pleasure.
