Walk-In Medical Care

I was in and out in about 20 minutes with prescription in hand. They were very helpful! It’s really convenient and since it’s a few steps from my job I will be making it my go-​to place instead of waiting for my doctor to give me an appointment.

I had to come here one day with my boyfriend because he had become very ill and it was a Sunday so there weren’t many options. Since CVS or Walgreen’s don’t have any walk in clinics in NYC, I was happy to find Duane Reade (although DR is my least favorite pharmacy) had 4 locations throughout the city.
We arrived at the Walk in clinic (which is upstairs, inside DR), and there wasn’t much of a wait. He had to fill out a form, and provide insurance and credit card info. He was then brought into a room where his vitals were taken by the nurse. Then he got to see the Dr. who decided he had bronchitis and needed some serious meds. We tried to fill it at the DR pharmacy in the same store, but after waiting 5 minutes and not even being acknowledged we decided to go elsewhere. Overall his experience with the clinic was fine.
Then a few weeks later I got sick and decided to try the clinic out. I had around a 15 minutes wait (there were 2 people in front of me), and then I was taken in the room by the nurse. She was very friendly, but maybe a little over the line of professionalism. She made a few crude remarks while we were chatting and it just seemed a little off. Then I went in to see the doctor and she checked me out. She decided to give me a prescription, but said to wait a few days to fill it in case I would get better on my own. Okay, fine.
One thing that was a little crazy was the Doctors outfit. Her shirt was SO low cut that I could see totally down it and her bra. Um, no thanks. I don’t think this would happen in a real Doctors office, but what can I say. All in all the visit cost me around 50 bucks and probably wasn’t worth it. I would probably recommend this place to someone who doesn’t have insurance or needs urgent care on the weekend.
