Friendly and kind from the front door and back. Front desk person is nice, nurses friendly Dr. Helton is helpful and professional. The only downsides are, 1. the doctor has more than one clinic (he serves rural communities) wait time can be sometimes be long. 2. Clinic is small and chairs are uncomfortable.
