Paterson Community Health Center

HORRIBLE! I went there last week and I just went for a drilling and a filling. At first everything was fine until a week later where I had excruciating pain in my tooth, the next day the pain had spread to my jaw and even tapping it hurt like crazy. Then I had to go to the hospital to get it checked out and there was an infection. I then had to have the tooth removed. Please, NEVER EVER visit this place, the dentist does not know what he is doing and the people who answer the phone never answer at all. Never go here it is not a good place.

This place is poorly ran. No one ever answers the phones and whenever they do they always have an attitude whether it’s early morning or late afternoon, they hire nurses who are untrained on how to transfer calls and schedule appointments incorrectly. Your appointment time is never taken on time even if you come in earlier than your scheduled time.

I literally was on hold for 30 minutes just to get redirected to the adult clinic and when the lady answered I say "hi i need to make an appointment" she's like "okay let me redirect you". Then about 3 minutes later it hangs up. So I called back and a different person answered then I explained I was on hold for 30 mins and I just want to make an appointment. All this to find out I have to wait a month to see a doctor. Like Bruh 😒 but the lady that answered last was nice. 🤗 But still 😒😒 bruh

This is the worst place, no one pick up the phone and is so hard to get in touch with your doctor..been calling for days and nothing....

Worst place ever . This is place is suppose to be to get the help needed . The lady’s at the front desk never fails are soo unprofessional. Every time I come here it’s like your invisible. I don’t know how they still have them working there . Unfortunately I have to attend here until I am able to get insurance. Very poor service

I have been taking my daughter to Dr. Brault since she was born August 2017. He has been so helpful with diagnosing and treating her eczema. I am extremely happy with how thorough and knowledgeable he is.

The told me I need to have a tooth pulled under IV and oral surgery when I went to St. Joseph's Dental Clinic, they filled it in an hour fine! On top of that they told me last night that I could come in as a walk in today at 8:30am today because I have a dental emergency. I went there waited two hours to find out, "they would not see me, even tough they said they would." THey told me," they are over booked full (but there was not one person in the office.) Last year a Dr. Diamond at this (Clinton Health Center on PResidential Blvd) gave my teeth a cleaning and told me "Jill, you have no cavities

Let me say this OUTRIGHT: Save your money and go to Planned Parenthood. They will give you accurate information, and they won't waste your time.
PCHC is a Federally Qualified Health Center, (FQHC) for short. This means that it is federally funded by the government to provide healthcare to people in the community. No one is turned away. I am starting with that explanation to make the following point: This clinic gets funded irrespective of the monies people pay to the clinic. What I am saying to you is that if they try to charge you over $40, walk out and go somewhere else. They are federally funded

The people at the front desk are very unprofessional and hateful. Today is 10/14/15, and I have been going to this clinic since I was a baby. My mother was divorced and was left with three children, so naturally she took us to a clinic to get the health care we all needed. Today of all days, they were rude to me, denied me service, and degraded me on the phone with my mother. I asked one of the women to speak to my mother on the phone, to clarify why I am there and any issues they had that I could not answer. She took my phone and she put it facedown on her desk. As if to have my mother talking
