CVS Minute Clinic

Went into the minute clinic after some bogus answers from my doctor, and was so pleasantly surprised! I had never heard of the minute clinic before and this was my first visit. i signed in on the kiosk, and it said the wait time was 30 minutes (amazing compared to urgent care whose wait was 3 hours)! I did some shopping and they saw me only after 15 minutes! The Nurse practitioners were extremely nice and sympathetic that i dont truly like getting tests done and gave me other options, i really enjoyed that they offered other options. My experience here was impeccable and i will never go to urgent care again! Minute clinic is the way to go!

Excellent service! I brought my daughter to Carlsbad Minute Clinic with a fever 102. I did have to wait, but was very happy to do so, as this the only option open besides taking her to Emergency. I could not get her our pediatrician appointment for 2 days. The nurse practitioner was very apologetic regarding the wait. Once in the clinic I realized why we had to wait, it was immediately clear that she really cared about my daughter and she was very thorough!!! She listened to all of our concerns, gave her a complete exam, and told us it was a virus. She spent more than 20 minutes with us, explaining everything we could do to help our daughter feel better. We had lots of questions and she answered every question patiently and immediately knew the answers to everything we asked. She explained what bad things we should look for could mean our daughter was getting worse, and exactly what to do if her fever got higher or we were concerned. She also took us out of the clinic to the store and showed us what medicines we could get for her fever, coughing and stuffy nose, and even helped us with the amount we should give! We kept our doctor appointment a couple days later to compare and brought the paper from Minute Clinic visit. He was very happy, agreed with the exam and said, «The nurse did everything perfect.» It was a scary feeling having our 2year old being very sick. We are thankful that she was there to give us great service and calm us down. We will for sure be back!!!

Told me my insurance would cover it. It didn’t. $ 100 for nothing. Would never even think of going here again.

Visited the minute clinic after I cut my foot while camping at the desert. So thankful they were open on Sunday’s. The nurses were great! I was seen within a half an hour and was told they would be right with me after the previous patient was leaving. After being seen and given a shot, I was escorted to the aisle to get pain reliever and was told to proceed to the pharmacy to pick up my prescription.
I followed up with my doctor as advised and he was very happy how the wound was dressed. 4 days later I received a call from the minute clinic nurse to check up on me. Thank you for taking such great care of me.

Wow if you want to wait an hour in the waiting area and another 30 minutes while the poor NP figures out the system, go for it! Me? I was sick as a dog and NOT in the mood. Wish I would have gone to. Real urgent care.

This place is awful. Wait an hour to hour and a half longer than the kiosk machine quotes you. Then on top of it the NPs I’ve seen there misdiagnosed me & my children. I wish they better executed this «minute» clinic because the concept is great but they just don’t move quickly or know what they are doing. Off to urgent care we go!

They can’t prescribe full cycle of antibiotics (only for 3 days) according their guidelines, which they didn’t tell upfront
I have to go to my doctor, pay another co-​payment and drug cost for the same issue

Worst worst experience I’ve ever had at a minute clinic! I went in and sat down they took all my information which took like 20 minutes to do. Once they were done taking my info they mumbled a TON of words to me which pretty much summed up that they had no doctor there for the day and my appointment was going to be through a camera check up. I asked them if I had a choice and instead of telling me yes they smirked and then proceeded to convince me how «cool» and how «fun» it was. IT WAS NOT. It was awkward, very impersonal, and inconsistent. The camera sucked and I couldn’t believe that I was being checked for illness with a camera. It was absolutely horrible! If you want personal care and not that of a camera go see a doctor at a doctors office or call ahead to make sure you are being taken care of by a live person! Never going back there

My daughter needed a quick sports physical to play softball. Could not get a Dr’s appt. for 2 months. Someone suggested the minute clinic. I was really skeptical. However, I was pleasantly surprised. The physician was awesome and the exam was a complete physical. It included eyes, hearing, immunizations and a complete medical exam. Cheaper than my physician and better.

Well my son was sick and his doctor office is a cluster F so I decided to take him to Minute Clinic within CVS. They were true to their name. We signed in and within a minute were seen. WIthin 5 minutes diagnosed and sent on our way with a prescription.
This place is a quick efficient place to go for simple illnesses. It cost us $ 89.00 which is higher than my son’s doctors office but since my time is worth money it seems I got a deal.

They get an upgrade because the second time I came they didn’t have a wait.

For what this is, this is a great asset to me and my family!
We have been here multiple times to have ourselves and our kids get started on an antibiotic because our physicians were closed (e.g. Sundays). They are right around the corner, and their pricing (around $ 69 for an ear infection) isn’t too steep. You can then bring your prescription right over to the counter and have it filled in 15 minutes!
My wife thought she had strep two weeks ago so went in, and the provider looked in her throat and said that she could do a strep screen for $ 109, but that she didn’t have it… saved us the whole amount by just looking! Thanks!
We will be back!
