Cvs Minute Clinic

Nurse practitioner was knowledgeable and nice, and service at $ 70 was a whole lot easier to stomach out of pocket than if I had to pay for urgent care. Recommended for basic medical stuff. Pro tip– check online or call ahead to see which location has less wait time.

I am appalled at the service at this facility!!! My daughter arrived at this Minute Clinic prior to 5:15, but was denied service. This was despite my daughter’s direct plea to be examined. She was anxious because of her symptoms (fever and aches) — She explained that a girl had DIED from meningitis at her university this past week, but the heartless nurse told her that her examination may have taken up to 25 minutes and that was past closing time. Instead, the nurse served another patient who arrived after my daughter because that patient only wanted a flu shot. I think that nurse should examine her conscience. I am sickened by the nurse’s lack of compassion and the disregard of the potential public health issue. APPALLED!!!

Terrible service. The nurse did not wash her hands after wiping her nose with a tissue, spent more time staring at the computer screen, and did not record the right blood pressure information which resulted in a follow up call telling me to get my blood pressure rechecked.
Go to the Urgent Care Clinic at Connecticut and Porter. They are efficient and the wait is not bad with an appointment.

MinuteClinic is a Godsend for those who do not have a Primary Care Physician because they’re not from DC and only seem to need primary care once a year. The location here was busy but the line moved pretty quickly. If you go to any MinuteClinic, they can pull up your records, much like your prescription records nationwide.
I’d prefer to have an actual Doc in the Box closer to my house not owned by CVS, but until this concept catches on more, this is a fine place to get some simple meds.

I went here on a Saturday morning around 10 am expecting it to be busy but ended up waiting for about 5 minutes. I probably just got lucky, regardless I was in and out in under 20 minutes! I went in for a strep test (which I hate), the NP on staff was extremely nice, knowledgable and conversational, which put me at ease.

I cannot say enough about this place. I went to the DC Primary and Immediate Care in Cleveland Park yesterday morning with a 102* fever and was not able to see anyone because the receptionist couldn’t figure out my insurance card. (For the record, they accept my insurance.) So instead I went to the CVS Minute Clinic for a strep test. The wait was reasonable, about 30 minutes, and Emily Lewis (the nurse practitioner) was a saint. She treated me with the respect and compassion one doesn’t alway expect from drop in clinics.

Rude. Rude. Rude.

First Unilocal review here!
I went in for a TB test, and was very impressed with the service I received. There were 3 people in front of me, and I waited about 45 minutes. The good thing about having to kill time in a CVS is that you have access to lots of yummy snacks and can do a little shopping. I personally didn’t think 45 minutes was long at all, considering the service is walk-​in and I’ve waited just as long at a «real» clinic.
Once my name was called, I spent a total of about 5 minutes or so getting the needle and chatting with the RPN about Unilocal.And then, I was done. The great thing is that you do not have to go to that exact location to have the test read, so I can just pop into any Minute Clinic for that in a couple of days.
If it weren’t for Unilocal,I wouldn’t have even known about the CVS Minute Clinics, and I’m extremely happy that I’ve found a quick alternative.

If you are a fan of waiting, then check out this Minute Clinic!
I have been to several different Minute Clinics, one might say I am «frequent flyer» and was excited when this one opened up right around the corner from where I live. I chose this Minute Clinic rather than the new clinic on Conn/​Porter because I thought it would be faster. A bad decision. All I needed was a TB test, which I did not think would be a big deal. I went on Tuesday and walked in and out. The nurse practitioner (NP) was efficient and down to business. I went back two days later to have the test read and I waited over 2 hours.
When people are leaving to get lunch or go to a meeting and come back, you know there is a problem. Don’t worry if you want to venture out, you place will be held and if they call your name and are enjoying a latté while others are stuck sitting in uncomfortable chairs, you jump back to the top of the list. The wait was so long the NP actually suggested that some of us go to the other Minute Clinic in Bethesda because nobody was in line. FYI the NP’s lunch break is from 2 – 3. Trust me, after this visit I will not be going back.

I was looking for an urgent care clinic that would be able to take insurance. I found through the Unilocal forums that CVS now has area «minute clinics» that can see patients for limited cases (see website on the services they offer). Best thing: THEY TAKE INSURANCE /​and/​if you don’t have insurance, their fees are reasonable.
I went in on Tuesday evening and they were booked until closing, so then ventured back on Wednesday morning. I waited about 30 – 40 minutes (a patient was in when I walked up, another waiting) and was seen by a knowledgeable nurse practitioner. She took her time with me, and the patient before me, and she stated that she wanted me to be seen by a doctor at a nearby urgent care clinic in Cleveland Park. Since it was a «referral out» case, they don’t charge a fee, not even an insurance co-​pay. She also gave me a print-​out of her observations and temperature to give to the doctor.
They offer great hours: up to 7.30pm on weeknights and even hours on Saturday and Sunday.
