Minute Clinic

Great experience today with a short wait time. I first went online to try and schedule an appointment but the CVS website failed and wouldn’t ‘hold my place in line.’ I saw that the wait time was only 18mins so I decided to head in.
The checkin kiosk there needs a major overhaul. While checking in, the system took an unusual long time to continue onto the next page. I would say it took me 5 mins to simply check in (which is why the 4 stars instead of 5).
Luckily, they have a wait/​sitting area that’s partitioned off from the Optical section and close to the pharmacy and restrooms. My wait was only 3 mins which was awesome. The nurse was polite and knowledgable. The inside of the «room» was also well kept. All questions were answered and a perscription filled within a matter of mins. I would recommend the clinic if you’re unable to see your primary care physician.

2 hour wait. Ok, but they will send a text message 30 minutes prior, so great, right? Not so much, if they don’t send a text message, and cancel you instead after you spent 20 minutes registering. And the CVS store cannot/​will not communicate with the Minute Clinic, so you need to call the toll free minute clinic number and sit on hold for 15 minutes until someone can confirm that indeed you have been scratched off the list, and you need to go in and start over if you’d like to be seen.
Good news is there are several other retail/​urgent care places in the area. I suggest trying any of those instead.

Don’t come to this minute clinic. They will screw you up with not sending the flu shot bills to your insurance and the customer service line was so hard to reach in the end you will get debt collectors letter stated that I have to pay $ 30 for my suppose-​to be covered flu shot

It took over an hour to finally get my flu shot this year… good thing I didn’t have anything else to do but sit there staring at other old strangers until I almost didn’t make the lunch cut off… I recommend for you to get there before old people make it there… I don’t know what hour that would be… but it’s NOT the weekend, that’s for SURE

Before you visit any Minute Clinic, go to their web site (
) so you know what to expect — they have info on what they’ll treat and what refer to a Primary Care Physician, and how much everything will cost.
I love the computer check-​in system. Enter your address and other tedious info there and save a couple of your face-​to-​face minutes with a Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant. You can also tell approximately how long you’re going to wait based on how many people’s names are listed ahead of you.
I waited an hour, probably because it was Sunday afternoon and more people than usual were swarming to a walk-​in service, but it wasn’t a big deal because I just browsed the store and read a book. My nurse, Shannon, was friendly and methodical. I felt less rushed here than at most doctors I’ve visited.
My insurance probably didn’t cover my visit, but the Minute Clinic does take some plans. And if you get a prescription, you can’t beat the convenience of having it electronically sent to the very same store’s pharmacy counter.
