I'm new in town, and I needed a dentist. The appointment went great. They are very kind and energetic place. Very quick. I had a root canal done here, and Dr, Burns was so gentle and made sure I understood everything before, during, and after the procedure. Today I have no tooth pain whatsoever! If you're scared of the dentists like I am. This is the place to go.

Testimonials

Have been to the clinic a few times and I am greeted by so many smiling , friendly faces. It's always a quick visit and the nurses are so helpful in answering any and all types of questions. It is not a long wait from when you are roomed until the doctor sees you. Would recommend for all your medical needs!

Testimonials

The medical care provided there is top notch. I can't say enough wonderful things about this organization and the people who work there. I've been there for two different dental procedures and they both have been done expertly and have provided a tremendous amount of relief.

Got questions? We've got answers! Here are some of the common queries we receive:

What is The Viola Startzma Clinic?

Since 1995, The Viola Startzman Clinic (VSC) has provided high-quality comprehensive medical and dental care, sexual and reproductive health, wellness education, medications, specialty health services, and resources for daily needs at no charge to qualifying patients. Today, it has expanded to accept patients with Medicaid, Medicare, and other insurance plans. The clinic became accredited as a Rural Health Clinic in July 2017.

While anyone can access care at The VSC, our mission is to serve as a safety net for lower income patients who struggle to access care in other places. Most insurances are accepted, as are self-pay patients. If you are uninsured or have a high deductible and cannot afford your care, we offer a “Charitable Care Program”, which provides discounted or even free care to qualifying patients. To qualify for free or discounted care, patients must live in Wayne or Holmes Counties and provide documentation to prove your household income is at or below 250% of the federal poverty level.

The VSC is a member of the Charitable Healthcare Network (Formerly Ohio Association of Free Clinics), the National Association of Free & Charitable Clinics, and the National Association of Rural Health Clinics.

I'm overwhelmed figuring out my insurance options. Can you help?

Don’t worry! At The Viola Startzman Clinic, we can help you enroll in insurance, or assist you in choosing a plan that works for you! Call to schedule an appointment with our Insurance Navigator.

I've had bad healthcare experiences in the past; can I trust you?

Yes! We treat our patients with respect and dignity during every appointment. We provide personable care where we take the time to learn more about you, listen to your needs, and share solutions that might be right for you. During your visit, we’ll be sure to talk through any additional services or resources you may need. Call us today!

What if I don't have insurance or I can't afford my copay?

Everyone is welcome at the Viola Startzman Clinic. The VSC accepts most insurances, including Medicare and Medicaid.

​The Viola Startzman Clinic began as a free clinic, and is still deeply committed to providing affordable high quality care. To obtain free or discounted care at The Viola Startzman Clinic, you must be a resident of Wayne or Holmes Counties and schedule an appointment with our Case Manager to complete the application process, in order to determine eligibility. Once eligibility is determined, our Charitable Care Policy provides free or discounted care to patients with a household income at or below 250% of the current Federal Poverty Guidelines.

Is my appointment confidential?

All care at The VSC is confidential. If you don’t want your visit showing up on your insurance, just let us know during your appointment. We ensure your visit is affordable and private.
