you had to pay anywhere else out of pocket. Also since this was LA for me there were long waits for routine appointments and it seems I never saw the same doctor twice. When we moved to Santa Clarita, that improved but then the clinic offered limited services and sometimes you ended up at the hospital in town again with the same problems.
