The Krakra Show with Krazy Kristy

May 3, 2022

I just called. Made me feel like a non us citizen. Can't believe they want all ur info. My state license n social should be enough they want your birth certificate. Um hello who ask for that? She said you can go somewhere else. As a latina I was offerened. Like lady my id license of Florida has point system (birth certificate,social security, bill, passport, etc. meaning we have proven by law who I am. I'm disgusted with this. I will push for media n online to discuss this clinic. No reason we should give ppl who are not in government my birth certificate. You are not here to help. Made me feel like a non us citizen. I'm in so much pain and couldn't make a appointment. Thank u for making me feel uncomfortable and unwanted.

The people here truly care about the people, not the paycheck. So many talented caring doctors, nurses etc. I have never, in my lifetime, been treated at any hospital or doctors office, as well as I am treated here! When I am back on my feet, this will be the first place I donate my money to!!!

The people that answer the phones or that call you to make appointments are some of the rudest people I have ever dealt with. If you have any questions regarding your care they accuse you of being argumentative or not wanting care. This is how the free clinic treats patients. Are we not entitled to get good care with someone speaking to you with respect because were getting "free care"? It's no surprise that the review rate is no where near a 5 star. It is subpar at best. The only positive I will say is the gentleman at the door, I'm sorry I don't remember his name but he is super kind and helpful. One time I picked up meds and after waiting 20 min and the person that came after me receiving theirs I asked how much longer it would be the woman said i don't even know who you are. Just as example of how rude they are.

I have been a patient here since 2010 & have always been treated with the utmost respect and received what I feel, is excellent health care. I see 2 specialists here, as well as a GP on a regular basis. I have never had any negative experience with any of the staff. In my experience, everyone from the reception desk, the intake people, the doctors & the pharmacy, have always been very friendly & professional. Which makes me wonder how some of the people writing the negative reviews about the staff on here, are treating the staff that they are complaining about. You treat people how you would like to be treated. With my health problems, I would be in a lot of trouble without this clinic. And so would most of the other patients. I have sat in the waiting room here, after my appointment for my prescription refills, and overheard people complain about their wait time for their refills on many occasions. Maybe they feel they are more important than the people who were ahead of them, but it can be annoying for those of us that are very thankful we are getting the medicines we need & are more than happy to wait 20- 40 minutes for those prescriptions to be refilled. And as far as the donations for everything I receive here, no matter how much I put in the box, I always wish I had more to donate. I for one, am very appreciative for all of the staff & the services I receive from the clinic.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

The two ladies guarding the gate, one pretty and , one older and harried. A few words, embarrassing, humiliating, dehumanizing, patronizing. I didn't happen to be eligible. For them cruel is better than kind.

Lori Mallory | Aug 31, 2018

I am sorry for your experience but I'm not surprised. When my daughter and I went for help, it was awful. They were nasty, rude and careless.

Definitely a lot of barriers to treatment at this clinic. They are paid by the county but seem to think their job is explaining all the reasons why they can’t help. Waiting room was empty. Wonder why?

Sandra Geary | Aug 31, 2018
Jerald Collman | Aug 31, 2018

They are not paid by the county, nor the state, nor the federal government. All their funds come from citizen donations, fund raisers, and private grants. Why don't you become a volunteer like I am and help us. Clearwater free clinic is not the County Health Department.

Do you have a gynecology dept there ?

Nancy Paddock | Aug 31, 2018
Clearwater Free Clinic | Aug 31, 2019

The Clinic has gynecologists who volunteer however to see one you have to be referred by a one of the Clinic's primary care physician/practitioners. That means that you would have to qualify and register as a patient and see one of our primary care practitioners first and they would refer you to our gynecologist if warranted. Hope that helps.
