Good Samaritan Family Resource Center

Left frustrated. Went in for a walk-​in on Friday. They do walk-​ins Weds and Fridays. Got there at 8:30 am thinking I’d beat the rush, and I was informed that the clinic doesn’t open until 10. I wasn’t given any more information. I left and came back, and was informed that there were already eight people signed up, and since they only see eight people, I probably wouldn’t be seen, but I could wait, but most likely wouldn’t be seen. I was super frustrated having never been here before it would have been nice to have this information when I got there at 8:30. I would have just waited there, or come back earlier. If you want to do the walk-​in session, I would suggest getting there at 9 and waiting.

I really appreciated this service. The doctor/​staff are all super friendly and knowledgeable and put you at ease. If you get there early the wait time isn’t bad at all and definitely not worse than actually scheduled dr. appts I’ve waited for in the past. Get there early and you’ll be fine. (I got there at 9am for the 10am slot and was 2^nd.) All of the services mentioned in Niya’s review are available/​free and quick to get. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about them — it’s as good as this kind of visit is going to get. ;)

Things I accomplished/​acquired yesterday during my drop-​in appointment, free of charge:
— HPV vaccine (part 1 of 3)
— HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and pregnancy tests
— annual exam
— Pap smear
— 13 packs of birth control pills
— 4 morning after pills
I was seen by friendly, efficient staff who foisted the morning after pills on me even though I told them I didn’t want any and would also have given me reams of condoms if I had asked.
The only drawback was that I had to spend the entire day waiting to be seen. I showed up at the clinic at 11:45am, was told to come back at 2pm because the morning roster was full, went back at 2pm, waited until 3:30pm to be seen, and left the place at 4:45pm. This was ok for me because I had time to waste but probably not ok for someone with a job or a life. In my experience, the 1.5-hour wait at Planned Parenthood is inevitable, even if you have an appointment, but you can easily avoid that extra 2-​hour wait by making an appointment beforehand.
