Went to dental clinic. Although the website says it takes the first 25, they only take the first 5 people.

Don't expect much from government agencies but the woman at the birth certificate window on Friday June 24th was just the worst, unpleasant.

From the receptionists to check in staff to Nurse Katherine...all were exceptionally friendly and competent. Nurse Katherine was a delight.
