Very disappointed with the lab crew here. My first time I went to get lab work done here, I waited for about 45 minutes after my scheduled appointment before leaving because I was short on time. The medication that I was supposed to pick up at the same time also was not available, and had to be shipped out. I did not receive it until about a week later, and some of the pills were melted together.My most recent appointment was scheduled for today at 3pm. It was 4pm before I even spoke to someone after check-in. There were no shortage of issues with the nurse who was supposed to take my blood. Firstly, she flat out argued with me about what my legal name was. She insisted that the old name on my medicaid (which is in the process of being updated) was the only name she could use. This is absurd for an LGBT clinic. On top of that, she had trouble finding veins on either arm, but insisted that she could do it regardless. When I showed concern over this, she began to argue with me and insisted that it would be fine. Upon showing me the needle she would be using, I realized it was much bigger than any needle I was used to for bloodwork, and it wouldnt work for me. I got into a light argument with her over this, with her repeatedly talking down to me during it, that Id have to just deal with the smallest they had, and that they dont have any baby needles for you. At this point, I got up and left. A total of an hour and a half of waiting only for me to walk out without the blood work complete. But its actually not a problem at all, as it turns out, I can just go do the blood work at my local hospital. When I had asked this over the phone previously (as it is an HOUR AND A HALF drive for me to even get to The Center), I was told that I HAD to do my blood work at this location.

I went to The Center Health office for help and I am so thankful I did. I went in last week because of a personal crisis. I was helped as soon as I walked in. The woman at check in immediately took me in and without a word she knew I wasn’t okay. I felt so safe and comforted. Isabella who tested me was amazing and explained everything. She made me realize I was doing the right thing by getting tested. Shayna the woman at check in saved me by taking me right away because I just wanted to run away and hide. I felt so ashamed and scared walking in but thanks to Shayna and Isabella I felt safe & comforted. I never knew The Center existed I am so thankful I found it. All the staff was great, the experience I will never forget and my heart will always have a spot for Isabella and Shayna.

I had an appointment for 1 oclock that never happened. I showed up on time and had to roast outside with about 4-5 other people waiting until someone could find the key to the front door or to finish their lunch. I never even got to the portion of the test where they draw my blood because they couldnt handle a domestic dispute while my urine and feces cup sits, getting cold, in my hand next to another guy waiting to get an invalid result due to the negligence of the staff. Today is Monday, August 12th, incomplete appointment at 1 pm and I was not shown by anyone on staff today that they are trustworthy with my medical care and/or have any sort of awareness for people who need help.

Ive only been here twice in and out it looks very nice I noticed a cafe inside now that is a huge plus as an entrepreneur I was waiting to see someone and I needed to scan and email some documents and was told they did not have anything like that maybe just a suggestionI will update my review based on my tour of the property soonIn the meantime if you are one of 3.8 million viewers please like & share to support our lgbtq community 🏳️‍🌈🙏👍🏼

I have used their facilities and services many times. As a straight local I can attest that not once have I ever been uncomfortable with anything there. The staff is exceptional, on point for any issues that may arise with the many people who pass thru their doors daily. Go, check for yourself. I bet you will be very content there no matter your sexual orientation.Also of note, the Rainforest Cafe is closed and the space is now occupied by The JOLT Coffee Co. Although I did not try it yet I did take note of several happy customers.

I regularly participate in activities for older LGBTQ+ type folks at The Center. These activities help me feel connected with others and avoid the loneliness which is often the fate of older LGBTQ+ type folks.

Great place for activities and clubs. You can even rent out rooms for your own parties or organizational meetings. I wanna rent out a room for band practice. There’s also the Arlene Cooper Clinic attached for sexual health needs for the community. This location is a great resource for health and recreation

Chill place to hang out, the cafe closes a little early but there are comfortable places to sit and a small library and internet access. They have events, but for the most part it is just a nice spot to hang around in when you dont have money and just need a space to be.

Beautiful building and great facilities and amenities. That being said, front desk is rude over the phone and laughed and referred me to the Las Vegas TransPride center(which I highly recommend) It seems they have groups for gender diverse people just so they can say they do because they don’t promote any of them on their socials. It’s 2023 no one is checking that outdated website. I was told that they were taking steps to move past the reputation they’ve built as a place that’s not inclusive to the trans community but it’s seems the follow through is still lacking.

I love their lending library where I found one of my favorite books turned movie that I read back in HS. I didnt get to check out their cafe but I will next time. Used all the magazines on the right upon entering for my vision board. Super nice staff. Was uncomfortable to use the restrooms. But otherwise a place full of good vibes, and tons of resources.

This place is quiet and non-judgemental. It is comfortable and they will allow you to charge all of your electronics. The design inside is very modern and it feels comfortable. The music is constantly playing and the soundtrack is marvelous. the bathrooms are very comfortable and they have a lot of gay friendly activities. I recommend that you go here for a nice relaxing afternoon or day.

Review №34

What a waste of time. I got different answers from everybody I talked to when I was there and bottom line is they couldnt do much for me. Told me to take a week to get my test results back. Could get a prescription. No provider on site. Where is the girl I went down with God help with everything. Seems like they were looking for an excuse just not to do their job. Like the old saying says you get what you pay for. If you can afford to go to Quality provider I suggest that. This place is for bottom feeders.

Im trans. Even at my age my peers are looking for a friendly port in the storm. And baby its stormy out. For me the Center offers a smile, some inciteful knowlege and services I cant get from Medicare. They have programs for all age groups. Regardless of how you express yourself, someone knows how it is for you out on the WorldAnd they have good options to help you thru anything. Look them up if everything is closing in on you. Youre not alone. There IS someone that cares. They were there when I took my first medical trip out of the country because no one would help in the states. They have always been available when trouble found me. Not a fixall for lifes problems but more than that, someone that has Walked a Mile in my Shoes.

This place is one of the best places to go for anyone that is a part of the LGBQI2 community. So many differrent programs and so many caring people. It is also a great place to meet new and exciting people. There are so many different groups that you can attend. The center is a safe place for anyone gay straight trans or whatever you might be. Also the food at the Cafe is some of the best food you will find.

The new director discriminated against and terminated Blue Montana, Director of Transgender programs.She claimed it was because of his post on social media, in which he was standing up to PRIDE for calling the transgender group “TRANNIES” at the grandstand on microphone, leading others to believe it’s ok to use that term. (It’s not)There are no written rules or policies in The Center handbook re: employee personal social media. This was a wrongful termination.The new director forced the first non-gendered baby in Nevada out of an event, which was only bothering her per sources. Happened to be Blue and his husbands baby. Blue’s husband emailed a complaint to the fact the new director was discriminating and that the GAY & Lesbian Center was supposed to be inclusive of all.I put GAY AND LESBIAN CENTER IN caps because they’ve not changed anything to represent the entire LGBTQ Community.I will not be donating my money, help, anything (which has been a lot over the past few years) to The Center.The board must fire the new director to rectify this. The board, itself, needs a makeover considering its President allowed the new director to fire Blue (discrimination).In closing, you’ve lost a supporter, a donor, and a friend of the Center.
