Detailed Introduction

The Adams County Health Department Dental clinic, located at 330 Vermont St Ste 100, Quincy, IL 62301, is a public health initiative aimed at providing crucial dental services to the residents of Adams County. It operates as a clinic within the Adams County Health Department, signifying its commitment to public health and community well-being. The clinic specifically caters to Illinois Medicaid-eligible children and adults, ensuring that individuals with this coverage can access necessary dental care. Furthermore, it offers financial assistance to uninsured patients through a sliding fee scale, making dental services more affordable and accessible to a broader population, regardless of their socioeconomic status. The inclusion of "Crank Gerald DDS" in the name indicates a historical association with Dr. Gerald L.

Dr. Crank, who passed away in 2017, was instrumental in addressing the need for accessible dental care in Adams County, particularly for students, and continued to work at the clinic until his second retirement in 2012. While the clinic may have evolved since, this highlights its long-standing commitment to community dental health. The clinic's services are an integral part of the broader health and nutrition programs offered by the Adams County Government. These services often encompass a range of general dentistry procedures. The Adams County Health Department's mission aligns with promoting overall health, recognizing the critical link between oral health and general well-being.

Was in pain for months and they continued to inform me I was “on the waiting list”. Had two separate appointments set up that I waited months for and one was canceled because the doctors went of vacation and the other due to COVID. Requested my X-rays and files to go elsewhere and was told I had to come in for a appointment first but still made no more of a effort then “on the waiting list”.

They really take advantage that most people can not go elsewhere. After 2 years of trying to get a appointment, I found another dentist 3 hours away to go to!

I gave one star because thats the lowest i could give, this review is for the dental side. They don't even deserve one star. This place is a complete joke. The front desk staff is more than rude, and completely unhelpful, and they don't listen! They "dont have enough time" to help their patients- their words exactly.

Will NEVER be back. I am completely appalled at the situation that took place here. Dont ever come here!

My daughter unfortunately takes after me with having bad enamel on her top baby teeth. Christina has been awesome with her and I love that I can trust her to know what to do to help us. It’s hard to get in because everyone with all kids or Medicaid has to go there, but if you can get in they’re great.

Giving 1 star as 0 stars isn’t an option. The condescending way you will be talked to here behind closed doors is appalling. I mentioned I was nervous (as most people are at the dentist) which apparently was very offensive to the already repeatedly rude woman cleaning my teeth (not the actual orthodontist. ) She literally asked me in a VERY rude tone “are you mentally challenged? No? Then you’ll be fine.

” It was extremely obvious she was belittling me for being NERVOUS, behind closed doors, and made NO attempt to hide that she found it humorous that I was uncomfortable. Not to even mention how disgusting and unprofessional… This place is a nightmare since the old dentist left. They 100% take advantage of the fact most cannot go elsewhere. HIGHLY advise you insist to go back there with your children while they receive care from here / the staff.

I don’t have any disabilities or mental impairment. If you or your children do, DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU CAN HELP IT. BEWARE of this place!
