By far the WORST medical experience I have received from any professional clinic front desk team. I am a Private Physician who partners with Non Profits. I contacted Turning Points last week to get general information for the community and for patients who I cannot see. I first was connected with their main help desk. The young lady was very nice and got me transferred over to the medical department. A woman named Rachel answered the telephone. I asked if they took walk ins and what is the process of becoming a client. Right away my question was dismissed. Rachel was very quick to say they are not seeing walk-ins and they do not accept clients after 3 o'clock. I then asked her a simple question of when is the next walk in or how do appointments works. She kept cutting me off and saying they are booked for the next three months. I just wanted answers and clarification. My questions were not answered. I was DISMISSED! I then went in person on Monday to get their new patient packet just to have for my patients and resource. Upon walking in, no one greeted me. The young women at the front desk were talking amongst themselves in Spanish and it TOOK ABOUT 2 minutes for me to get acknowledge. Once again I was told they are not taking new patients or appointments and walk ins depend on doctor the day of. So why even promote a walk in service? Even dental emergencies I was told are not guaranteed. I was giving the "Patient Eligibility Packet" , quite lengthy and not explained to me. When asked for a walk through of the paperwork. I was told that they do not have time and cannot help. Mind you the lobby was EMPTY , no patients were present it was mid afternoon. Then in spanish one of the desk ladies made a very rude remark so i would not her but i did ( i understand spanish fluently) The desk had the nerve to say to another "Que ella no puede leer" meaning she cannot read. HOW RUDE IS THAT! You service a community of minorities and this is how you approach care? As a doctor , I was completely shocked by the processes and conduct this medical team had.

I don’t know what I would have done without this place. I was in so much pain with my teeth the dentist I think her name was Stephanie and the hygienist Alexa were are so patient and kind. All of the receptionist and dental staff are amazing, I have the worst fear of anything in regards to dental but they have been so gentle during this process, I feel so fortunate to be receiving care from turning points!!! I didn’t get this level of care when I had good dental insurance I’m in tears even writing this because I was in so much pain I was barely making it through work and becoming impatient with my kids when they would make noises. Thank you guys so much

Are they still able to help with rent assistance

Davontay Seabrooks | Aug 30, 2020
Tamara S | Aug 30, 2021

yes, but I'm not sure if they are still taking applications for this quarter. They are given a certain amount of funds each quarter and usually they run out of the funds quickly because they get alot of applications. You would have a better chance if you are a veteran because they get served first. Prayers that you get assistance quickly!🙏
