The person at number 36 at the social security office was very very rude. When I came at sat down I…read moresaid "hello" and greeted her and she didn't say anything. Whenever I sat down, she also asked for my Identification number and when I tried reading it to her, she rolled her eyes and and looked disgusted and shakes her head, and said " No I AsKeD fOr YoUr ID CaRd" and then I said " I'm sorry, I didn't know, I was just trying to read it to you." That threw me off and my anxiety shot up and I set a boundary, I just closed myself off and just answered with "ok", and yes and no's because I guess she's taking everything out on me and I am just trying to get some important information done. So after it was done I told another worker to please not put me with number 36 because she was very rude and I definitely complained. Next time I'll just try to do everything online.

Yelp wants to know if I would recommend the social security office... I'm not really sure if anyone…read morewould really RECOMMEND it, but it's kind of a necessary chore sometimes. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ My visit was a one of those necessary chores. We were having an issue with putting our son on our taxes, and thankfully we finally got it sent in because I made an appointment on February 22nd, but the soonest appointment was APRIL 20TH! Two months later, and 5 days after the tax cutoff day. Even though we got our taxes done, I still needed to fix the problem. I was dreading the appointment because I didn't want to spend half the day waiting to speak to someone... but thankfully my mom is a gem who was willing to babysit so at least I didn't have to bring an unwilling toddler with me. Others weren't so fortunate. There were several children who were not happy to be there, but their mom's were champs and over all, it was pretty tame in there. My appointment was at 10 AM. There weren't very many people in the waiting area when I got there even though the parking lot was mostly full and there were a few people standing outside in a line. It turns out they were just signing in with the posted QR codes. I scanned the QR code, went inside, and checked in on my phone. Then I needed to scan my phone at a kiosk to get a receipt with a code. I sat down and was relieved that there were maybe 15 people total waiting. After 5ish minutes a lady asked if anyone had an appointment. Me and one other man raised our hands. She sent us both to a window and I was extremely happy that I was going to be in and out in a jif... so I thought. I told the lady what was going on with my son's social and what I needed to do and she literally told me that she wasn't good at that so I'd need someone else to help me. Umm... 'scuse me? Well okay then... So she tells me that I need to fill out a form for the next person. I explained that I already filled it out online and she said that they would need it on paper as well, so go ahead and fill it out again. Again... what? Okay, sure. I sat, filled out the form, and waited. And waited. And waited some more. After waiting an hour, nobody was at her window so I asked her if I was sent back to the back of the line. At this point the place was filling up, so waiting was becoming a bit less pleasant. She said that I was sent to the back of the line because I didn't have an appointment. I informed her that I DID have an appointment. At 10... She looked me up and looked my son up, saw that I had an appointment, and said that someone would be with me in a few minutes. I sat back down and was called in less than 5 minutes. The man that helped me was pleasant and kind. I was out of there in less than 10 minutes from the time I sat down with him. This tells me that I could've gotten out of there by 10:30 had there not been confusion with the first lady. Could've been a five star experience. I will forever make an appointment though... unless I can't wait 2 months for assistance.

Before coming, I read several reviews for this location, and many of them were not favorable. Some even suggested avoiding this office entirely and driving to another one for better service. Since I'm from out of town and unfamiliar with the area -- and my father lives only 2.2 miles away -- we decided to take our chances rather than drive farther.We were walk‑ins with no appointment. The front desk security staff was pleasant and kindly reminded visitors about phone etiquette. When our number was called, we were helped by Anna -- I'm certain of her first name, and I believe her last name is Lopez. She was extremely helpful, professional, and courteous. The entire process was efficient; from check‑in to receiving the information we needed, we were done in about 30 minutes.The experience was impressive enough that I felt it deserved a review. Every review reflects someone's personal experience, and I don't discount the negative ones. But people often write reviews only when something goes wrong. I like to write one when the experience is very good -- and today, it truly was.

Book a predetermined appointment time Restrooms are quiet. Security keeps things in line relative to help, order, and quietness.

( yes, I know you want to talk on your phone or play loud games. Or talk loud, but it echoes in there - be respectful). All in all, it was a dull life sucking experience, but that was to be expected.

The REALITY is, they HATE walk-ins so much at this office, without warning or any information for one to maybe avoid wasting their time, like 1/2 day waiting in line, to then ONLY BE TOLD that "you have to make an appointment for your account" Even though, you clearly filled out the "paperwork" in your inquiry and reasoning to BE at their office that day, from one of the two kiosks you have to check in through, in order to even obtain a ticket . The check in process is quite thorough, it asks you if you a) have an appointment or b) don't have an appointment If you have the option to choose one of the two it's asking, and then move through the next set of questionnaire prompts in order for the system to help delegate the "time frame" needed for your visit, if you're a walk up that is.
