"The NEW way they answer the phone leaves you hanging on for more time that it would take to drive there. Trying to make contact with someone is near impossible. In ANY Department."
- OpenGovNY (Reviewer C Muise)"Expect the run-around. Office is near-impossible to find, once inside the building. Worker was as helpful as she could be, which was a level 2, on the 0-10 scale."
- LocalityBiz (Reviewer slick slack)"Truly horrible, can't get in touch for a refill, they don't respond to the pharmacy, told me during a appointment once my time was up and I had to leave."
