Don't let the people interrogating you outside discourage you from getting the care you need! The building is very secure which I appreciated. Once in the PP clinic, I felt safe and welcome. The staff was all very kind and kept me informed of delays, which I appreciated. The care I received was as expected. I was able to be seen and treated and given medications to help my condition.
