The dental side is ridiculous. They are good for pulling teeth and that is it. I got a filling from them and regretted it a week later. The tooth only gave me a bit of pain before I got the filling. Then I got the filling and two and a half week later it started hurting me horribly..pain so bad it felt like the tooth was infected. They also did not ask me what material to use for the filling and used the metal stuff...which I think was a factor..I read that they can cause pain. It was a poor choice on the dentist part. And it was NOT ok that they did not ask me if I was okay with paying the 5 to 10$ more for the other stuff(tooth colored) I wasted 160-80$ (this was on a 40% sliding fee) on a tooth that probably did not need a filling!!! I thought the pain met it was a bad cavity. I went back after 3 weeks..the dentist said I had a sinus infection(as far as I know they do not cause swelling around a tooth), gave me antibiotics...they did NOT help. Maybe a bit because I do believe there was an infection forming because of the tooth....but once the antibiotics were gone the pain came back. It kept swelling and hurting. Then the tooth in front of it was having issues. They did(what they said was a temporary filling, according to another dentist...it was permanent! It was really close to the root and apparently I now need a root canal. I found this out from another dentist. Community Health Alliance told me that I needed to go to another dentist because they werent sure. I went there because the first filling I got, part of it fell out while I was brushing my teeth. I now have a hole in my tooth...the issue...they will charge me to fix it..because it was a lil over a year ago. I got it in July of 2014(near the 25th-30th). I went in there and was told they have a 1 yr guarantee on fillings. That is a HUUGGGGEEE red flag. I paid once and had nothing but issues with this tooth since they worked on it. I take care of my teeth, I brush and floss after almost every meal and I do not eat candy unless I can brush my teeth. Of course this is after realizing I was not taking care of them(I brushed, but it does nothing without flossing). They should have fixed the tooth long ago..I think the entire issue started because the filling was not done properly to begin with. I think they needed to seal it and that was why I was getting the infections. One dentist did not understand the pain...and seemed not to believe me. I did not care for pain meds. PAIN IS A SIGN OF AN INFECTION!! Antibiotics helped the swelling go away and the pain almost goes away. She was not thinking right. I had a few teeth that got pulled..they hurt the worst because they were infected... Now I have a tooth with a hole put there by a dentist that cant even own up to a mistake and charge too much from the start. It is suppose to be cheaper then other places...even with a sliding fee it is still expensive! I have wasted far too much money there already and will not give them a penny more. I stupidly got xrays and ended up not ever getting more teeth fixed there because of the pain from the first filling(and the second did not go well either...I did not pay for it though).. SO get a filling at own risk. I do not remember the dentist name. I have seen almost all the ones that work there. They do not seem to try and keep you with one dentist..(walk ins are understandable..but actual appointments...I would get different ones...it makes it harder...).. (I got a filling from another dentist, that was the tooth colored stuff and he said it almost needed a root canal..that was done Nov. 4 2014, the tooth is fine now...it gives me NO issues)..

This place is a joke. Wait time is about 2/3 month to get a stupid appointment. My mother is a patient there and she has given me the permission (through official forms) to contact this clinic on behalf of her numerous time. But every single time I try to make an appointment or contact them, they always refuse me. Healthcare in US is worst than even Antarctica and this place is a perfect example. My friend needed to do root canal and those robbers asked for $4000. Then he bought an air ticket to Bangladesh for $1100 and got everything done in less than $400. No wonder why healthcare in US sucks, because it takes about 9-10 year post-secondary schooling and a life long earning to become a doctor, whereas in almost every countries it takes about 4-5 years. Then there are FDA, pharmaceuticals, and insurance companies scamming and increasing treatment/medication cost for any diseases. You will only find medications in TV commercials and cigarettes/alcohol in pharmacy, but no cure if you get ill. This whole system is a massive debauchery and second to none in sucking blood out of poor people everyday in every-way possible.

Was extremely ill and went here. They say they transfer prescriptions electronically but thats a lie. I had to call 20 times over 3 days to actually get my meds at my pharmacy. Mind you, I was throwing up and in extreme pain. Thats actually against the board of health standards. And if you dont speak Spanish you are overlooked because their entire staff is hispanic. Its like I didnt even exist. I dont know how they get their funding.

They dont call people back very well. They dont work well with other facilities. Ive been trying to get an MRI now for four months to see how big my tumors are. They schedule well with Reno diagnostics center. I was able to get in there in a timely manner for other medical issues. The dental work is goodonce you can get in. I llost a filling and its taking them 2 months to get an appointment just for a filling replacement.

The staff and medical help is always polite and do their best to give good service. Many times under huge challenges of a full schedule and walk - ins. I really appreciate the respectful way the clinic was set up. Press one for spanish. So it respects this an English speaking country - but also the needs of the people are that most the staff is bi - lingual. The do their best to get back to you.

Be prepared that the earliest appointments you will get here is in 4 FOUR months. You might as well drop dead meanwhile. THis Hawk clinic is not the only one, i tried other medical facilities, they all did the same. It is no fun for seniors at all. thee doctors do not want any clients, they got way too many from Obamacare stuck in the system,

The doctors seem competent enough,I mean there is no morgue in the basement,right.The place is pretty clean and caters to the lower levels of society including illegal mexicans,

If you can avoid going to this clinic, I would advise you do. Drs r just ok, no time with patients, long wait times and Dr.s assistents dont explain tests results at all.

Their medical assistants are a joke. They dont know what they are doing.

No sense of urgency when you need something.
