Community Health Center of Meriden

"Praise God for CHC! The wait may be awhile sometimes but, they gave me the best team I could ever have asked for. I know Hartford Healthcare wants its patients to be independent, and the wait is worth it. My primary care provider got me connected with their mental health department and it is live changing. I don’t know how many times I have received support from every staff member throughout all departments. The staff’s teamwork is impeccable. The building is gorgeous, take the stairs if possible and look up when entering the building. Mask up, the staff will thank you. They have helped me so much I can’t even put it into words. I’m a survivor of domestic violence and their care is the reason I’m still here today."

"STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS PLACE! It could cost you or your loved ones their lives. They kept me off of a maintenance medication (NOT A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE) for 14 days with no explanations, I wound up in the emergency room from the symptoms of withdrawal. The program director should be ashamed to run such a sensitive organization in such a distasteful way. This is pure negligence on the part of the providers. There should be a federal investigation into this practice and these providers need to lose their licenses. You would genuinely be better off not receiving medical care than receiving it from a provider here."

"Only reason I go here is because it’s only a few minutes away from my home but it’s been almost a year since I have been going here and the service just keeps getting worse. The pharmacy is bad, you’ll rarely find a good receptionist and I don’t even know how the doctors are even doctors. Sometimes they’re nice but in the most part, it all just depends on them and when they want to be nice which is unacceptable. I tried changing my families providers and they always bring me back to the same provider without even letting me know. They always change my appointment time and they tell me to wait over an hour. The wait time on the phone is ridiculous and the most shocking part is my doctor googles all my basic symptoms and then tells me what they’re going to do… like i could’ve done the same but you wouldn’t believe me. No where in the world you’ll find doctors like them. I pray for this place. Advice, if you’re new or thinking of changing places to see the doctor, don’t come here. The service you’ll get is most likely going to be bad. NOT WORTH IT!"

"Dr. Patel is beyond amazing he’s very honest and straightforward. One thing I like is he listens and fixes the problem right at hand. Every visit if I go in worried I come out not worried."

"Every prenatal appointment i have takes 2 hours when it should only take 30 minutes at most. Most of my time is spent sitting around waiting for my name to be called. Not to mention the nurses are rude when i ask what is taking so long. Never going here again for prenatal."
