Patients/community members discuss access to care. (2023)
Speaker 1: And you mentioned transportation and you are saying that … It’s difficult for me to get to a dentist. Yeah, because I don’t drive.

Speaker 1: Yeah, I’ve looked around and it’s a pretty lengthy bus ride. Nothing I wouldn’t mind taking, but probably easier in the car. I just left a previous dentist slash orthodontist that I was with, but they’re very far away. They’re in DC. That’s almost a two hour bus ride and I don’t want to take a two hour bus ride to go to the dentist. So I’ve been looking for something closer and something that will accept my insurance as well.
