Overall Review of EssentialCare

caveat 6 reviews mention this

Notary experiences vary

Notary availability and accuracy don’t feel consistent across visits.

Several reviewers describe being turned away or left with incomplete notary results, including cases involving documents related to children, divorce/custody, and other paperwork. Others say they were able to get notary service quickly and with professional, efficient help. Overall, residents’ experiences with notary requests appear uneven rather than predictable.

caveat 5 reviews mention this

Pricing feels unpredictable

Some services are described as far more expensive than expected.

Multiple reviews call out sudden or high charges, including printing costs and shipping quotes that seemed to change significantly after an initial estimate. A few reviewers also mention feeling that add-on costs undermine easier return programs, and that they had to rethink services because of the price. In general, pricing concerns show up as a recurring frustration.

caveat 9 reviews mention this

Customer service quality is uneven

Some visits come with rude or impatient service.

A set of reviews describe staff members as short, rude, or unprofessional, including comments about refusing help or speaking dismissively. Others mention wait-time frustration when too few people are working, leading to backed-up lines. Taken together, the reviews suggest that the service experience can swing between helpful and difficult.
