Always worry walking in, due to my extensive history with medical providers and lack of so much, I won't get into it. It's been a consistent surprise to actually get medical help on the level I desire, require, and what used to be once upon a time common place wherever you went. I'm glad there's a place, network, and people I can actually go to and get medical care instead of the usual medical ignorance with a bill attached on top.
