CVS Minute Clinic

It was a bright shiny Sunday morning, and as I woke out of bed, I realized very quickly I felt like an extra from The Walking Dead.
My doctors office is closed, and I never get sick, so I knew this was bad… this is where the local CVS Minute Clinic comes in. I didn’t feel like driving to Urgent Care where there are usually long wait, forget the ER, i’ll give CVS a try.
When I got there I found a «check-​in» kiosk back by the pharmacy, where I input all my information, (name, dob, etc…) Someone in a white coat walked by quickly with cleaning supplies and let me know they would be with me as soon as she had finished cleaning the other room. So they have 2 exam rooms, there was no one there, and no wait. So far, so good.
I was called in within 5 minutes. Learned the woman cleaning the rooms was a MD. Usually these are staffed by Nurse Practitioners, or Physician Assistants, but I guess I got lucky! Anyways, described my symptoms, she looked at me, asked if I had gotten a flu shot, I replied proudly «Nope! Never had the flu in my life», later learning I was an idiot.
Ran the test, which consisted of sticking a pipe cleaner like instrument up my nose until it tickled my brain. Stuck it in a machine, 6 mintues later, yup, you have the flu. Got my prescription, which could be filled 5 feet away. With my insurance it only ended up costing me $ 10 plus my meds!
Overall great experience, the Dr. was super friendly and very personable. Total time in and out was less than 20 minutes. Hopefully I don’t have to, but I would come back if I ever needed to!
