However, the process was actually not that bad - I was in and out in about 20 mins. The office itself was very clean - one of the cleanest, well kept SSA offices I've been to. My least favorite about this trip was the waiting to be called part, but once called, it was all smooth sailing. And honestly, I think you're all with me on that one: nobody likes the waiting part. Anyways, a nice office to go to if you have any SSA needs. Just don't forget to book your appointment beforehand!

Orange has some amazing hidden gems as far as food goes. The only downside is the traffic. It can get really congested in the area. Trying to get around with the Angels Stadium right there, can be a nightmare.

The staff overall were nice and efficient, making the process smooth. However, the front desk lady on the 2nd floor could definitely step it up a bit--she seemed a little less sharp than the rest of the team. If you come prepared and know what you're doing, it's a straightforward experience. Not much more you can ask for from a test center!

Instead, I waited maybe 5-10 minutes max, and from check-in to walking out the door, I was done in about 25 minutes. The process was straightforward and efficient.

The staff were professional, direct, and clearly knew what they were doing. The office itself was clean and organized, and the flow made sense.
