Review; CVS Minute Clinic
Posted on Mar 12, 2009 under Carter, Review | 4 CommentsAfter being very sick for 5 days I called a friend to come over and take a look at Carter. She suggested we take him to the doctor. (I’m so bad at making such decisions) I called our family doc, but she was gone for the day at 1pm. I made an appointment for the next day, early, but I didn’t want to wait. See, I try to treat things at home first. With common sense, rest, nutritious foods, herbal medicines, but there is sometimes, that despite my son’s request, I can’t be the doctor.
So, I thought we’d try CVS’s minute clinic. I love that you can see exactly everything they treat and the price (for those not insured) on their site.
When we got there, there was no one else waiting in the small corner of the store. After a quick computerized self registration, we were brought into a small room.
There a very nice and friendly NP did a full check out of Carter. Very gentle, very nice, she took her time. No hurry, no rush, no other sick people around. It was SO easy!
Then she just sent our prescriptions to the pharmacy (our choice) and a note to our family doc’s office and we were on our way.
A few days later, Carter received a hand written post card and a sticker from the NP, thanking him for being a great patient and hoping he felt better!
They WANTED us there, it was different and rather nice!
I won’t go there for everything…but in the right situation it’s the perfect fit!
