Robbins office - They never picked up the phone and talk with you.. always waiting on hold for more than 30 minutes..then when they do pickup it is to hang up the phone.... I have been trying for weeks to make an appointment... can't get thru ... I absolutely hate this office..tacky and ghetto..not professional at all.. glad I'm not dying or in need of medicine.

I cannot begin to express my satisfaction with the staff at the Beloved Community Family Wellness center on 68th & Halsted in Chicago. From the front desk, to the nurses, each and everyone of them was courteous, professional, and made my visit as comfortable as they possibly could. Please forward my things on to each and everyone of the staff there. Thanks!!
