It has been quite some time since I've had an experience where I thought, "I have to write a good review"!
I have had a terrible week, and adding to that, I have had terrible pain from a tooth, that I knew needed to be extracted. My Grandfather passed away, I hadn't slept, etc., but this morning, the pain from my tooth was just too much to take. I am on Medicaid, so I was seriously doubting that I would find a dentist in our area that even accepts Medicaid for adults in our area, much less, be able to get in any time soon.
After calling around, I was so surprised, when I reached Bright Smile Family Dentistry! They, immediately, set an appointment for me to get in today.
Once I arrived, I was a nervous wreck! I don't deal well with pain, and tend to have panic attacks any time I visit a doctor or dentist! They got me in the chair, and Dr. Chang walked in and introduced himself. He could see how terrified I was, and even though I'm a thirty-something year old woman, he took the time to reassure me, throughout the entire process. I explained that I have had problems with Novocaine not completely numbing me in the past, so he made sure I was completely numb, even giving a couple extra shots, since I wasn't, before he even attempted to begin the procedure. He and the nurse were both so kind and compassionate, and even laughingly told me they had seen patients more terrified than myself! lol
To sum it up, I was completely amazed by the good service from beginning to end. They did not treat me differently because I was a "Medicaid patient", as I have known many in any medical profession to do. They were absolutely wonderful, not only taking care of my problem, but making sure I was ok, all the way through. I was so impressed with the way they treated me that I, immediately, set up an appointment for my nine year old son, who is as scared of dentists as I am! That's saying a lot, that I insisted this doctor be the one to see my "baby"!
I would recommend their services to anyone!

The Norman Health Department is very impressive, compared to many I have been in. They have a nice, open building, with plenty of space for comfortable seating, and areas for the children to play while you are waiting.
The Health Department serves many purposes. They offer a free family planning clinic, where one can get free birth control supplies and information, and even prenatal care in some instances.
The Health Department also offers free immunizations to children in the area. They will keep track of all of your childrens' immunizations, so you can easily access them and get copies for enrolling them in school, etc. They also offer free flu and pnumonia shots to those at high risk, and at times to anyone in the public. The wait time can be pretty long, but it definitely saves money, and you know that you will be getting your shots in a healthy, sanitary environment, by their trained nursing staff.
The Health Department offers too many services to list. I think people often take for granted that they are there, but often don't even realize how much they really do for the residents of our community. If you are in need of health information, a food handler's license, whatever your need may be... give them a call, and chances are they can help. If not, they will refer you to someone who can!

CVS is one of my favorite pharmacies to do other shopping! Every week, I wait for the Sunday circulars, just to see what CVS has on sale this week! If you're not a member, where you carry their Extra Bucks card, you should definitely get one, it is completely free, and offers you discounts on many items, but you also earn "extra bucks" when you buy items in their store. Those extra bucks print out on your receipt, and you can use them on your next visit. They print out coupons on similar items to what you have purchased as well. How the extra bucks work, for example, I received a $10 extra bucks coupon on my receipt. The next time I went to CVS, I was able to take $10 off my purchase! They also run specials, for example, a few weeks ago, they were promoting a new, expensive razor. The razor was selling for around ten dollars everywhere. With this special, you could buy that razor at CVS for nine dollars, and on your next visit, you would receive six dollars in extra bucks, so you basically get the razor for three dollars. The best way to rack up these extra bucks is to watch the circulars, or check them out when you go in the store, so that you'll know what specials are running. But, you also earn them for every day purchases, so they are always adding up!
The other cool thing, even without the extra bucks, is that CVS competes with a lot of other chains, so they always have lots of great sales running. Around the beginning of the school year, I was able to stock up on school supplies for much cheaper than if I had purchased them at Walmart. They will offer different items all the time, so I have gotten razors that retail at ten dollars for two, toothbrushes ten cents each, the list goes on and on! If you are a bargain shopper, you can really save some money if you watch for the sales at CVS!

Earth Natural Foods & Deli is a wondeful place to find organic products that you would not normally be able to find in regular grocery stores. They also offer a fantastic deli, where you can find fresh meats, cheeses, and so much more, and get it the way you like it!
The main reason I like Earth Natural Foods & Deli is because they offer a large selection of herbs to fit every need and lifestyle. And you're not just left alone to guess at which would be best for you. Their employees are knowledgeable, helpful and honest. They will tell you which herbs work for certain conditions, and will be honest about possible side effects and interactions. You should never go shopping for herbs, without either having the knowledge yourself, or having someone to help guide you through the different kinds available and help you find what would work for you.

I am a freebie junkie. But that is not the only reason why I love this dentist. I have a phobia going to the dentist since I was small. And this is the only place where my doctor can calm me down. I love the decor of the waiting room because they are tastefully done which can affect how you feel while waiting for your turn. Lastly, I always get my free toothbrush after each visit.

The Health Departments planned pregnancy program is wonderful, and they do offer programs for free birth control or planning. The Health Department also offers shots for free for children, so it is a wonderful place to take your child before school! The wait can be long, so make sure to plan accordingly!

My foot has hurt for years, but I never did anything about the pain. I finally went into see Dr. Hosler a few years ago. He diagnosed and treated me in no time, and managed to put me at ease. It was two years before I hurt again, and he was able to fix me up just as easy. It was a short wait in the waiting room, and the nurses and office staff are delightful.
PROS: great Doctor and staff
CONS:
