Minute Clinic

Had to get a work physical and a shot today and the doctor/​nurse was soon nice!!! I love this place. They are so nice and it was clean and i was scared to get a shot and they were really nice :)

Came here for a TB test. There was different staff on the two days that I came but phenomenal and friendly customer service from every person that I saw on both days. Would come back here if ever need be!

Horrible service door to door. My initial appointment was ok and I was prescribed medication for pink eye. It was a long wait but I understand that’s what you get last minute.
When I called to get a refill I sat on hold for 45 MINUTES! When someone finally answered I was told the doctor was seeing someone and she would call me back. 10 minutes later I get a call and she hangs up on me… She called back only to tell me even though I am currently living with two people with the virus and work in the NYC Public school system that she would not authorize a refill for my prescription (I was given 5 refills that could be used with authorization). Even when I insisted it was a health risk for me and my students all she could say was those I live with needed to seek medical care (because I can control that). Or she said I could come back when I had symptoms again, basically pay another $ 85… No thanks. I’ll update again when I miss 5 days of work because this «doctor» wouldn’t refill a prescription for my own health and safety.
NEVER GOING BACK. HUGE WASTE OF TIME.

I am in love with this place. I wish they could be my primary doctor (even with the $ 159 I had to shell out sans insurance). I only hope the quality doesn’t go downhill after more people discover it.
I dropped in on a Saturday afternoon before my throat had been KILLING me every time I swallowed, and I was fairly sure I had strep. Urgent Care and City MD both began at $ 150 + hundreds of dollars of test fees, and the internet is littered with horror stories of the staff there. Here, CVS’ online price listing told me I’d probably be paying a $ 99 exam fee + a $ 30 strep test fee. (It turned out I had an additional $ 30 comprehensive strep test fee, but this was what ultimately told me I *did* have strep and is standard for strep testing.)
I followed all of the signs to the second floor (way in the back), checked in on the touchscreen, and settled down in a comfy chair to wait. I was a little dismayed at first that there were 4 people ahead of me with an estimated wait of 98 minutes, but the system said it would text me when my wait time hit 30 minutes. Here was the only snag of the entire visit as no more than 10 minutes after I sat down, NP Carolyn poked her head out the door and started calling names. No one responded. «Is anybody here waiting for the minute clinic?» she finally asked. And lo, I was seen in just 10 minutes.
Now. I have made it clear I love this place, but I also love this lady. At one point she complimented me on how my tonsils were «tremendous,» and informed me that I wanted the «good [sudafed] they keep behind the counter, the stuff people make meth out of.» Carolyn was responsive, caring, funny, and made me actually feel good about being there, if one could believe that about strep. As someone paying out of pocket, I appreciated that she was very upfront and clear about all of the costs. Later, when I got my follow up call from a different (equally wonderful) lady, I was scrambling to price check antibiotics and she was very understanding, offering to just call me back in 20 minutes so I wouldn’t have to navigate their automated phone tree. She gave me more comprehensive information on treatment than any doctor ever has (remember to throw out your toothbrush!).
Basically, even once I have insurance, I’d make this my first choice for sick visits like this. They rock!

Went here a couple of months ago for issues with ear wax when my own doc claimed not to be able to do anything yet took my money anyway!
The nurse was amazing. Syringed my ears in minutes and I left feeling so much better.
I am going back today as I have bronchitis and laryngitis — I know at this time of year!
Will update review when I get home.

Can’t rave enough about my experience. Laura D was an awesome FNP (Family Nurse Practitioner) and made it enjoyable. She even put up with my humor and curious questions about Minute Clinic. Highly recommend swinging by for a quick check up.

Wonderful experience! NP was very professional and warm, and I was in and out of there within 30 minutes even though there were two people ahead of me. I was paying out of pocket too, which the NP was very aware of, and she only charged me the very minimum amount/didn’t require any superfluous testing. Would recommend to anyone.

Having tripped and bruised my finger bad on the train station stairs, I was paranoid as to if I would acquire Tetanus from the wound. In my hysterical search for a location where I could find a Td shot, I decided to look at the one stop shop for a well reviewed location, Unilocal of course. And like rays down from heaven, I found the Minute Clinic. I work a few blocks away so I decided to do it during my lunch break. It is on the 2^nd floor of the CVS store there. As you get there you are greeted by a computer on which you put in all your info. It took about a minute doing that and I was seated at the waiting area for another minute. The practitioner there was Laura at the time and she was the best! Nothing like a warm smile and few words of encouragement for a frantic possibly tetanus affected soul you know? She was quick and friendly at the same time. I was in an out in less than 10 minutes. I was really impressed!
They should really have more of these in the city. Apparently during the time I am writing this, this is the only location in Manhattan. I am definitely going back if there’s an emergency.
Edit: My vial of Td shot has apparently given me superpowers: I am able to climb up walls and ceilings with ease. I am thinking of designing a tight suit and a cape soon, if this side effect lasts.

Showed up for stomach pains, got full checkup, little wait and friendly service. The nurse is the best. NO CHARGE for abdominal pains! Would visit for any checkup. The computer is new though so the staff will not be able to help you with it.

What a fantastic experience — and really quick too.
I started feeling Flu like yesterday so I decided to visit the clinic. I was the only one waiting and was in and out within 30 mins. What a great service and they took my insurance too.
Certainly would visit again if needed.

I drove here all the way from Queens at the last minute a few days before I left for Costa Rica because I desperately needed a Tetanus shot. None of the urgent care centers I had called would do a Tetanus shot unless I had a cut. CVS Minute Clinic came to the rescue. I rode the escalators up to the 2^nd floor and walked to the back of this brand new CVS store to find a huge LCD touch screen where I signed in. I was inside getting my Tetnus shot literally within MINUTES! We need more of these Minute Clinics in NY because they rock!

What an amazing place! Fast sign in on a big bright kiosk. Fast, professional service by Nurse practitioners who know their stuff! Came here for booster shots needed for work. They take cash, cc and insurance. This location is on the second floor of CVS. Brand spanking new! Kudos to laura NP and Melissa NP. They were knowledgable and caring! Come here for cuts, bumps, lumps. Something oozing and it shouldn’t be? Come here. Hooked up with a guy/​girl and having regrets? Have blood work done. They do everything except surgery. As a pro in healthcare, I highly recommend this place.
* know this, any prescriptions filled out at any cVS will show up in your history. Lil FYI.
