CVS Minute Clinic

Called to ask what time they stopped seeing patients, was told 7:30. Got there at 7:17 and was told the stop seeing patients at 7:15. Told the nurse I called ahead and was told to head on over. Pointed to the sign that stated the establishment’s hours (until 7:30) What a waste!

Horrible clinic. The kiosk said doctors were at lunch till 2:30. Pretty late lunch. But okay. I arrived at 2:30. It said they’re were 7 people ahead of me but I was the only one there. And that my wait time was an hour and 55 minutes. Waited till 3:30 and still no patients or doctors. I went to the pharmacy and asked if they could help find the doctors. They said they are contracted and they pretty much come and go as they please. Waited till 4. Still nobody. I finally left. This place just needs to be shut down. Especially if the people that work at Walgreens say this isn’t a good clinic. Don’t waste your time. Just go to ADC.

Should have read the reviews before coming. Woke up with a serious rash over 85% of my body, thought I’d get seen by a PA or NP, as I’m a nurse, just want A Rx for a steroid and something to help with the itching. I signed in at the kiosk around 12, waited around, then read that they will text me 30 min prior to my appointment. I returned about 1.5 hours later, after receiving my text-​that I need to return within 30 minutes or I would lose my spot. An hour later the NP/​PA popped her disheveled head out of her office to advise she was taking a 30 minute lunch. I waited around for another hour, with no help in site, I left without ever being seen-​very frustrating to waste 4 hours on a Saturday, and never receive any care

What a joke. Minute clinic is so misleading. Been waiting 2 hours with 1 person in front of me. That dude better be dead because there is no reason I should be waiting at a «minute» clinic for 2 hours as the only person in the waiting area.

Don’t go here if that dumb PA is working! I went in thinking that I had strep and my rapid test came back negative but she «wanted to be 100% sure» so she sent it to the lab. That lab work ended up costing me an extra $ 140 for a negative result. I say she’s dumb only because being that we’re both in the medical profession I figured we’d have lots to talk about. Wrong… Stick to owies and booboos bc your lack of knowledge in general human anatomy astounded me!

The assistant was nice. The signup system was quick. The wait took longer because of one patient ahead of me with a confusing story. Instead of a minute, took about an hour.
This place has great fees for vaccinations.
The assistant was very knowledgeable.

I wish I could choose negative stars. This was by far my worst CVS minute clinic experience ever — mostly because I was never even looked at!
I came and signed in. The only sign around said that they were running low on flu shots. Seeing as I didn’t need a flu shot, I didn’t mind. About 30 minutes later the sign changed to «seeing no more patients today» — but nothing was said to those of us still waiting. After an hour and a half of waiting, and now being second in line, I was very rudely told by the nurse practitioner that she won’t see me. I told her I signed in before her sign went up and she yelled at me that I didn’t. Never going back here, that’s for sure!

Go to a real doctor. I went in here for a gross cough and code and was diagnosed with bronchitis.
She prescribed me three medications that were the equivalent of an over the counter drug (like fancy robitussin) which didn’t help in the least. Seriously, in the least.
Upon going to my REAL doctor, I learned that the people that work at these things are at best a PA. One year of schooling and one year of practical application does not a doctor make.

I feel I should have read more reviews before choosing to visit this clinic, but I was in a pinch.
I was third in line around noon on a weekday. I waited 1 hour and 25 minutes before even seeing the Nurse Practitioner, while watching two other nurses bustle in and out of the other clinic door, completely ignoring the building line of miserable folks in the doorway. Though they did take the time to comment to each other about how long the wait list had become before leaving. Thanks ladies, I didn’t notice.
The NP was a bit slow moving, and maybe hard of hearing, as I frequently had to repeat myself in a much louder than necessary tone. This was a bit painful to do with strep throat. She rarely even looked at me while speaking to me. Reminded me a little of the nurses I watched leave earlier. I know I’m just another sick broad in the long line of coughing, grumbling patients, but I was able to force a smile for ya… throw one back at me, please.
I was a bit taken aback when the total without insurance was $ 112 ($ 124 with the prescription) as I had seen the reviews for less, and the exam cost listed on their wall was much lower. The little tests they run are a bit more than expected, which seems deceiving.
Did get my meds, though quite a bit shorter on time and money for the rest of the day.
All in all I’m pretty positive I can find a much better inexpensive clinic in Austin.
**UPDATE**
I am updating this review because I received a message from Minute Clinic asking how I was doing and to call with any issues. My symptoms have become worse since my visit Tuesday (It’s Friday), so I called them back to request a different prescription.
«No,» the lady says, «we recommend you see your general practitioner. Or you have to come back in to be re-​evaluated.»
Are you kidding me? So I’ll have to go back in to CVS, wait over an hour, deal with grumpy staff and be overcharged all over again to MAYBE be diagnosed properly and get a prescription that actually works? Absolutely not.
I don’t know about anyone else, but when I had a general practitioner if they prescribed something that didn’t work I could call within a week and get a different prescription.
Now I’m looking for a general practitioner. For strep throat. When the simple and inexpensive solution is a different antibiotic.
Don’t wast time and money with CVS Minute Clinic. Learn from my mistakes.

Minute Clinic– sounds promising, fast, and healing because…well.. . that’s what the name promises you. Although they are conveniently located within a pharmacy that can get you your medication processed roughly in 15 minutes while you shop for red bull and As Seen on TV wonders, the clinic is not as magical. This minute clinic can provide you with a city clinic experience by having you wait for an hour and half for your name to be called even though you are conveniently the only person on the waiting list. You will notice that, although your small ailment (which are the only health related issues you can be seen for here) takes about 5 – 10 minutes to diagnose, your visit takes about 30 minutes. Why is this? Well because she types as you wait in an awkward silence for about 20 more minutes. They do accept multiple health insurance, but I would advice you to wait and take a few hours off from work to go to your Real Doctor and stay away from this location until they can find someone that can expedite your health services and keep true to the name. I would have gladly accepted the experience if I were in a long line or if their name was Hours Clinic.
