Free Clinic of Simi Valley

The front desk lady was trying to hussle me for donations. I’m not wealthy and gave what I could but the lady said, «thats it ». It’s a free clinic and I felt uncomfortable and disrespected. People that come here don’t have insurance hence they have no money. I called ahead of time and she said if you can please leave a $ 3 donation and when I got there and finished my check up she hussled me for more and took my cash that I gave her. I gave $ 4 cash but she said that’s all… so I went out of my way even though I have financial troubles and paid $ 6 with my card. she gave me the cash back but only $ 3. This lady is a thief and should be fired immediately!

Sad sad place. Mean terrible staff. They should be counseled on compassion. It’s volunteer work for goodness sake, that means it’s choice to work there, leave the attitude at home and focus on helping those in need.

As a volunteer and donor to the Free Clinic of Simi Valley, I can tell you that this is a great place. In 2013, the Free Clinic had over 17,000 contacts, representing over 7,600 men, women and children. The place has served thousands of people in its 43 year operation and literally SAVED LIVES. It is a vital part of the Simi Valley community. It deserves 10 stars!!!
There have been some one star reviews and I find this disappointing, given the selfless contributions of over 160 volunteer doctors, nurses, dentists, counselors and attorneys, trying to balance the high demand for services. I think perhaps that many people do not realize the Clinic is not government funded, and depends entirely on big hearts of non-​paid, volunteers. It sucks to be sick and not have a place that you can go to get help. I totally get that. But the Clinic does the very best it can with the resources it has. The Clinic is has to take appointments to be fair, and to serve the most people it can, in an efficient manner.

This place has saved me several times. They have treated my for my high blood pressure, anxiety, as well as the occasional injury and infection. They have done blood work and have helped me manage my health. I have seen some other 1 star comments, but that is kind of unfair. This is a free clinic. They only survive on private donations and receive no government assistance of any kind. If you need to see the Doctor there, start calling at 5pm on Monday.

I just went down to the clinic because I have severe pain in my throat, my voice is almost completely gone, etc. I was laid off from work and don’t have the resources to pay for medical. The lady behind the counter said with the biggest smile «oh sorry we’re appointment only and we only take appointments on Mondays.»
Today is Tuesday. I need antibiotics today and not sometime next week. And why don’t they tell about this on their website? Strange! So unless you know that you will get sick sometime in the future, this place is useless. Thank you for the no help!

Free Clinic Simi Valleyy this clinic is never open, everytime I go there, their close.
