The CVS that houses this clinic is not the best, but MC is so convenient and always available to treat same-day, sometimes with little to no wait.
It's a real no-frills medical-care operation, but I have always found the clinic staff to be wonderful. You can check the wait times online and get on the list in advance (I like to use the CVS app for this), but you can also walk in without preregistration. When you arrive, you sign in on a computer, and a screen shows the wait list (by initials, not full names) so you know if there are people ahead of you. When it is your turn to be seen, the practitioner (usually a nurse) will greet you, take you into the exam room, take your ID and insurance, and start the exam. You pay right there in the exam room and go on your way. If the practitioner writes you a prescription, they can either fill it there at the CVS pharmacy, or send it digitally wherever you would like. The best part is, you can then peruse CVS for whatever other OTC medications you might need before you go home.
I went to this MC twice in the last 2 weeks. Both times I was desperately in need of medical care, and I learned that it's impossible to get into my primary care physician's office same day. First I had poison ivy, and the nurse at this MC was so unbelievably compassionate to my condition. She ran out into the store to find Tecnu wash. She didn't just tell me to get it, she went and grabbed it for me, and sent me on my way with a prescription to fight the rash. A week later I was sick and again couldn't get in to see PCP. I used the CVS app to check wait times at MC and registered when it was down to 15 minutes. I left my office at 3 pm. I was home on the couch with antibiotics and tea by 4 pm. read more
