(Translated by Google) The receptionist is not very kind, let's say the first time I take my child, she sends me to the dentist and the other time the appointment was the 25th and it turns out that it was the 24th, she did not do her work as it is and I had to come from my work so that they tell me that the appointment was the 24 that bad. (Original) La recepcionista no es muy amable que digamos la primera vez que lleve a mi nino me mando al dentista y la otra ves la cita era el 25 y resulta que fue el 24 no ace su trabajo como es y yo me tuve que venir de mi trabajo para que me digan que la sita fue el 24 que mal.

I have been bringing my child here for about 2 years and the staff does their best to make sure everything is explained. The receptionist is very helpful also and make sure that everything was great.

I came to this office to take my little sister to her appointment and the receptionist was extremely rude and unhelpful. I think her name was Jovita? I don't remember her name as I was shocked at how rude she was. I have gone to a few different chc locations and this one was by far the worst experience I've had. My sister even told me about other times when the same woman was rude to my mother and even other patients. The doctor was amazing however, the receptionist ruined my whole experience there
