Handling some business that was made easy thanks to Joanna, Jessica (not sure her name but it…read morestarted with a J) so pleased and grateful that she was able to help me with my concerns. At first, it was weird because as soon as you enter the office, there's a security sitting but very helpful instructed me to take a number and fill out a paper. After my number was called, I was informed that someone will call me but not sure whether to stay or leave, so I decided to leave and run some errands. In less than 30 minutes I received a call and drove back to turn in some paperwork. It was that easy. The staff were very helpful and friendly. It's definitely worth a drive. Thank you again, Ms. J ( definitely an angle sent from above)

When you first arrive, you are subjected to a security search. I had to empty my pockets, and the security guard ran a magnetic wand through my entire body and shoes. It's a Federal building after all. I went on a Tuesday around 10 a.m. without an appointment since I was having an issue completing an online application. After about 30 minutes, I was able to get an appointment and plenty of information to get my application completed. Way better than the DMV.

I went to be evaluated to get back on disability after losing my job due to my disability. I was asked some double digit addition questions and I assume I was correct, because I'm suddenly not disabled.... Then I went to my doctor to get him to write a letter that supersedes the misdiagnosis by the person from social security. Once I told him according to social security I'm apparently not disabled he disagreed and wrote me a lengthy letter citing my many deficiencies as the need for disability because of my coma. How is social security going to give disability to people who don't need it, then when a legitimate disabled adult comes to your office, you deny him?

He actually told me to get what I needed from a physician and I could come back that day. Sure, because that's how doctors work. Mine doesn't have drop in hours. The lady at window 1 was my second serving of the social security office. Kindness is wasted here. She's curt and rude. Ultimately my persistence got it done. I hope it's many years before I find myself here again. I do not recommend. Scoring 0 for ambiance, 0 for service, add 1 because I have to. So one star it is.

I think we can all remember to show care and kindness to others and that will most often, be returned. waiting long at times means someone called out sick or something and often is no fault of the person behind the counter. I always like to ask them how they are doing and if it's typically this busy for them or if it's unusual, they usually do have a reason either a big wave or two people out so short handed etc. I know that would be stressful for me if I was an employee in their shoes.
