We adopted through CC and had a fantastic experience! Our social worker was knowledgeable & quick to respond to all of our questions & concerns. She was so good about reaching out to us and the birth parents, making sure everyone felt confident about the adoption.
I can’t say enough good things about this office ☀️

I had a great experience here. The psychiatrist I was working with helped pinpoint my exact mental health issue. I was provided with tools after I left the clinic and they made me feel confident that I could feel like myself again.

They were a great place to be a part of until recently very unprofessional about helping with specific concerns, and they tend to give up on their clients when their clients are trying to recover from an injury, or harm done to one from a medical mistake they knew about, but refuse to admit about. They were good until recently to give my honest answer
