Montgomery County’s free clinic for treating sexually transmitted diseases takes reservations at 8 a.m. for the next day’s appointments. On many days, the 27 slots are filled 15 minutes later.

Roughly 300 people who call for an appointment are turned away each month, according to county records, though the clinic’s nurse administrator, Barbara Davis, said that number may include some who call the clinic multiple times.
