Hundreds of donors and corporate sponsors helped us raised over $150,000 for Black health. We were thrilled to record an epidode of the HealthChangers podcast a year ago (pre-pandemic) with Cambia Health Solutions, and we're even more thrilled to unveil the episode now! North by Northeast's office is open during business hours on weekdays from 9:00 am-5:00 pm.

I have nothing but good things to say about this clinic. The staff has always been so respectful and kind. I feel like they really listen and give thoughtful responses to my questions and concerns. I’ve spent years with doctors whom I would avoid calling, even when I had a need, because I didn’t feel comfortable with them. I’m so happy to have found a healthcare practice that I feel I can trust!

The receptionist was wonderful but the Dr and the care I was offered was zilch and they took down the wrong information during my first appointment so when I called back they essentially refused care because the Dr I saw was out of town and they "didn't feel comfortable" refilling a basic thyroid prescription I've been on for a decade and need to take daily to function and live . I ended up being without it for a week and consequently became too ill to travel and missed my flight this weekend because of the refusal for basic care which they told me was their policy and "in my best interest".

I went to this clinic for some time for my basic medical needs. The folks here (mostly volunteers) are very nice. The space is small, you'll be sitting next to strangers while you wait to be seen undoubtedly. They take new patients on Thursdays - get there early. They will first take old patients and then start seeing new ones in the order they arrived. Once you are not new, you can make a Thursday night appointment.
All of my perscriptions were renewed - for free. They will often require you go get the blood work forst - and that's covered as well. Please note, if you don;t pick something
