MinuteClinic at CVS

"Had an appointment at 9:30 for a vaccine, and was still waiting an hour later. Gave up and left."

"Would recommend not wasting time going to this place. I went on a Saturday as my regular doctor was not available. Practitioner who saw me was awful - didn't seem to hear a word I was telling him. I was told I needed to be sick for 14 days before he would consider prescribing an antibiotic - I question if they understand the concept of an Urgent Care Clinic???"

"Went in for an ear cleaning/earache/hearing issue. The male PA said that my ear was clean and fine so he wasn't sure what was wrong with my ear. He sent me off and said to take some ibuprofen. Then come to find that my ear was not clean. My eardrum was being pushed against with a large, dry piece of wax and caused the ache. I just wanted an ear cleaning and he kept assuming that i was sick when i kept asking to just get my ear cleaned."

"I went in today with a sore throat since I wasn’t able to see my primary doctor. I called ahead of time and was told that they ACCEPT my insurance, but once I arrived I was told they don’t accept it. I asked the out of pocket cost and I attempted to pay for the visit since they don’t accept my insurance and I was completely turned away. I left having not been helped at all and without an explanation as to why I can’t pay if they don’t take my insurance."

"I had a scheduled appointment. They took me in quickly which was nice. The actual visit itself was disappointing. I was there for a women’s health screening and asked for a referral but she didnt help in anyway. I was told to go back to my previous provider. I understand that they see basic/normal cases of things but you should be able to give a patient a referral to women’s services since thats a service you offer and most specialists NEED a referral. I work in healthcare so I know how it goes. If you can’t offer a service or it isnt your specialty, you should be able to at least have referrals you can give patients to seek care elsewhere that is legitimate. Also, the NP mentioned that they only do screenings on normal cases. How do you know if a test will come back normal or not unless you do the actual testing? That doesnt make any sense. If I wouldnt have mentioned any previous information, then would she have gone through with the exam?"
