CVS MinuteClinic

I wish it only took a minute but the nurse practitioner does what she can. She works every job. Doctor, scribe and receptionist and does a fine job.

Nurse was very rude and testy to our family because we did not each have individual insurance cards… we never needed these for our primary care physician so I don’t know why it was such a big deal here.
This was just for a flu shot it’s not like we were trying to get antibiotics or something. the kicker is that she was also very grouchy with my 5 year old, very inappropriate for a professional of her age.
If you’re used to being treated like a doormat then this is the place for you.

Expensive and unhelpful. The nurse-​practitioner was friendly and took us quickly (for a $ 90 fee), but couldn’t communicate well in English and seemed largely to ignore my wife’s description of symptoms. Her prescribed treatment did nothing to help.
She sped through a list of standard checkup stuff (blood pressure, listening to chest sounds, ear and throat check, then declared the reason for a persistent hacking cough was «postnasal drip,» without being able to explain how she reached that diagnosis.
She prescribed an ineffective and costly prescription cough suppressant (which she suggested filling at her CVS branch), along with antihistamines and saline nose drops. After three days, these have had no effect.
The nurse said she’d call two days after our visit to see how things were going, but didn’t. After three days, my wife tried to call her, hoping for improved medical advice — and was informed that she could only speak to the nurse again by returning and paying a second $ 90 fee.
This service might be useful if you have an urgent, easily treated problem, but for anything requiring good judgment and communications skills, it might be better to look elsewhere. Racking up fees seems their key priority, with your health a poor second.

I’ve been to several MinuteClinics and Take Care (Walgreens) Clinics. I’ve been to urgents cares, emergency rooms, and a variety of doctors offices. Over the course of my experiences I have never witnessed such unprofessional and rude behavior as I did when I came into this MinuteClinic.
The nurse practitioner was harsh toned, rude, judgmental, and argumentative. I’m there for a sinus infection, what’s there to be all crazy about?! After she interrogated me about my medical history and lectured me about various topics not pertinent to my visit, I finally had to draw the line and I told her to stop and to address the reason I came there. This only encourage her push more to be belligerent and stubborn. I almost walked right out.
The sole reason I stayed was because of how miserable I felt, I just wanted to feel better… even if it meant dealing with an unprofessional nurse who had the bedside manner of a dictator losing popularity.
Guess what, Nurse Ratched, you are not going to help people by belittling them and intimidating them into agreeing with you. Maybe it’s time to find a new career, if the being a nurse requires more compassion and social intelligence than you are capable of possessing.
