“The overall care was good, but the business was not right. I was told I didn't have to pay a visit fee because I was getting the yellow fever vaccination. I told them I also wanted to get the whopping cough vaccination and was also told I didn't have to pay for it because it would be billed to my insurance. So I paid for the yellow fever vaccination. After I received both vaccination I was told I had to pay $35 visit fee for the whopping cough. I explained that was not right to tell me after and had I known that, I wouldn't have gotten it there because me job gives them for free. Also, someone else came in with an issue related to the business side of his visit when I initially paid. I would only go here if I needed care. ”
