Beware!!! This help for those in need is a huge scam!! I paid the 6 months fee for $170 had my appointment to later tell me they don't have time for a cleaning and I need to come back. I also had a chipped tooth I wanted removed but they suggested a $900 crown. I missed a whole day of work, no cleaning and the possibility of paying $900... Finally a month before my plan expires I set up an appointment for a cleaning and to possibly have my tooth removed. I paid the $25 and was told the priority is the tooth and it'll be an additional $15 if it's removed. I agreed and got an X-ray... Dr come in says he has bad news and tells me he'll have to remove the tooth. I said great take it.. He was shocked and then started to convince me to keep my tooth and get a crown... First it needed to be removed, now it can get a crown... He later said I'll have to go somewhere else to have it removed if I wanted it to and could get a crown with them which he recommends is best... I told them I'll have to think about it so I'll just get my cleaning... They said I'll have to come back for that... Another day I missed from work to come back!? I told them I didn't understand how that's considered to procedures if I got nothing done. I got an X-ray yes but the "second" procedure was to tell me they can't do anything with my tooth and handed me a referral! Again no cleaning! $200 just to hear them say, come back to reschedule a cleaning. This is the dental clinic in Ridgeway.

Common Questions About Free and Low-Cost Clinics
General guidance for visitors. It is not medical advice and it does not describe Waverly Family Practice's current policy — call the clinic to confirm anything below.
Is this clinic actually free?
Often not entirely. "Free clinic" usually means one of three things: a volunteer clinic with no charge, a community health center with a sliding fee scale based on household size and income, or a clinic that charges a small flat visit fee. A sliding scale can still leave a bill. Ask what the lowest tier costs before you book.
What if I have no income at all?
Most sliding-scale programs have a lowest tier for people with no income, and many accept a signed self-declaration when you have no pay stubs to show. Ask for the clinic's discount program by name and ask what proof they take. Being told "bring proof of income" does not mean you are turned away for having none.
What should I bring to a first visit?
Usually a photo ID, something showing your address, proof of income or a self-declaration, your insurance or Medicaid card if you have one, and a written list of your current medications and doses. Call ahead — requirements vary, and arriving without the right paperwork is the most common reason a first visit gets rescheduled.
Do I need insurance, or immigration documents?
Federally funded health centers serve patients regardless of insurance status and do not require proof of citizenship to provide care. Volunteer and charitable clinics set their own rules. If it matters to you, ask before your visit what they require and what they record.
Is dental care included?
Usually not, and this is the single most common disappointment. Dental is frequently a separate program with its own eligibility, its own waiting list, and a narrower service list — extractions and urgent pain may be covered while fillings, crowns, root canals, and dentures are not. Confirm that dental is offered at this specific location before travelling.
Can I get a prescription refilled here?
Most clinics require an appointment before they will refill anything, and a first appointment can be weeks out. If you are close to running out of a medication you cannot safely stop, say so when you call — say the medication name and how many days you have left. Ask your pharmacy at the same time; pharmacists can sometimes authorise a short emergency supply.
What if I need care today?
This directory cannot arrange care or pass a message to a clinic. For a medical emergency call 911. For a mental health or suicidal crisis call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline). For something urgent but not an emergency, an urgent care clinic or a hospital emergency department must evaluate you regardless of ability to pay.
