Kern County Public Health Department - Bakersfield (CA)

5 /5 stayFAST84: Been at the place twice to pick up birth certificates. First time I was in and out 20 minutes. Second time was 7 years later and still made it out of there within 25 minutes. Staff up front look organized and they will guide you to the department you have to go for whatever you need.

5 /5 Kevin Rangel: Their public clinic here is just amazing, fast service, but even better the staff are passionate, kind, and knowledgeable. They take walk ins early mornings but it’s better to make an appointment. I recommend checking out their website to see what services they offer. Thank you so much!

5 /5 Linnae Ranis: The car seat program the county offers was surprisingly quick and informative! Initially, like many free programs out there, I thought that it would take a while to get a call back or even set something up but this totally exceeded my expectations! The whole process took about a week and the people who helped me through it was very understanding and flexible. I had to reschedule my first appointment due to child care and the safety technician totally understood and was happy to work around my schedule. The actual appointment to get the car seat was fast (didnt even take an hour) and he went over some safety protocols and little known facts about California law. He was very informative, showed me how to install the car seat, and answered all my questions. He even helped me bring the car seat to my car! All in all, Im glad the county offers this program to parents and it was well worth it!
