I'm writing this review because I noticed that it's easy to write about a restaurant experience but…read morewe get hesitant to write about other types of experiences and I think doctors visits are very important but more important to go to the right one and someone that is really going to take care of you and not jack you up. So here we go... From the initial scheduling the appointment on the phone to the actual appointment, everyone was kind and seemed to have a genuine interest in my visit. Even though there was 1 technician that was overly nice, almost getting to the weird side, but I think she was just trying to make sure I was comfortable at least that is what I told myself. Since this was my 1st visit with them and getting a mammogram they asked a good bit of questions, which was great. You need to ask the questions in order to know your patient. The visit itself was fast. They took me at my scheduled time, explained thoroughly how the whole process was going to work. During the mammogram you are allowed to keep the gown on, HUGE plus for me. The mammogram was yes uncomfortable at times but not painful. Some of the positions that you have to do to take the images are weird, I felt like I was playing a new version of 'twister' but only with my upper body. Once the testing was done, so was the discomfort and my fancy twister moves. It's not a place I want to rush back to before my scheduled time, but early detection is key. So, since it has to be done why not go to the best.

Crisis Assistance Ministry is a literal joke! I feel they pick and choose how and who they will…read morehelp. if they are the main source for rental assistance then why is it so hard to get assistance with your rent? I was starting a month long unpaid job training returning to my career as a flight attendant that next Monday with leaving that Sunday. I've been out of work since September 2024 having fled DV from another state, homelessness, divorce (that was the best part) house fire loosing EVERYTHING, car accident totaling my new vehicle by a drunk driver, job loss, and had two total hip replacement surgeries 7 weeks apart. So to get through that struggle and finally be able to return to work has been the best thing to happen to me over two years. I went on a Wednesday with all my information for help with my May rent and got a call back from a Myra the following Friday. I was told to pay $1600 of my $2300 rent and they can pay the remaining $700. She had not looked over my documents because if she had she'd seen I had already paid $1100 of my May rent and just needed help with the remaining amount so she said to pay $500 more and they will pay $700 because that's all they are providing everyone due to funding. I told her I don't have a way to get the $500 unless I turn down the job offer and NOT attend training and drive uber and Lyft to come up with the money. I guess she tried to be encouraging with saying not to turn down the job offer and miss training. She had also brought up June rent saying they can't help me with May Rent if I won't have June rent but I said I didn't need help with June rent as someone was staying at my place the month of June and paying the rent in addition to taking care of my pets while I was away. i had everything figured out. I just needed that last boost of help to get me back on my feet. I was only behind because I was in a car accident in April and wasn't able to drive uber/lyft a few weeks and got behind but paid a portion of May rent with what I had saved. So ultimately, I've turned down the position, paid the $500, now behind the rest of May and now June, (since the person staying at my place no longer needs to stay) I went to crisis ( I don't get return calls) to leave word to my case worker for assistance and I'm waiting for a call back. I don't expect any help without added stress and I don't wish bad on anyone but I really feel some of those people working there need to understand by experience, the struggle and pain of regaining your life back and the humility of having to ask for help. I've read through all the comments and feel for everyone and pray something more can be done to help the entire community because Crisis Assistance Ministry is NOT it!

You do need a reservation for the animal tours and they have summer camp so call Ahead to make sure it's available. Parking is in the lot.
