- Primary Health Care Ames Clinic reviewer

"Phone system is horrible. Not uncommon to be disconnected when you almost get a human... Care is good...if you can get past the above."

"Don't call 2 days prior to an appointment that's been made for months if you can't get a patient in... We will soon be withdrawing all care as this pattern doesn't seem to resolve."
