CVS Pharmacy

Brought my daughter to check for strep. Got a $ 130 bill from them as a result. In addition, the physician assistant seemed to have problems figuring out the right dosage and in the end prescribed the wrong antibiotic for strep. Two weeks later she still had strep and brought her to her pediatrician that mentioned that the prescription was wrong. Called customer service, but they don’t care. Never again!

This review is primarily for my visit to the MinuteClinic. This was my first shot at a MC inside CVS, and I was actually impressed by the set up. There was no receptionist, just a fancy touch-​screen computer where you filled out all your deets and the wait begins. I did wait a little over an hour to actually see the doctor, which turned out was a RN of sorts. He was friendly and made me feel comfortable up until he began to ask about my medical history. I do not have a spleen so therefore have little to no immune system. Turns out that’s one of the things they are not allowed to handle. Patients with immune deficiencies, seek alternate source of doc-​in-​a-​box care. It’s not his fault, and he even went as far as to pull down his handbook and show me where I could not be treated. He did however want to check my vitals and spend a little time with me, also gave me a slammin’ referral to a great place just around the corner. I ain’t mad at him, it just burned more time than I wanted.

The 2 minute clinic needs to change their name to «you can take as much time as you want clinic». Still in line 25 minutes for a flu shot. I guess the girl in front of me is getting a full on physical.

Pretty standard CVS. It’s exactly what you’d expect from a convenience store. They sell fruits too, but I’d stay away from those.

None of the pharmacists here have a warm demeanor, but I get my prescriptions on time and it’s downstairs from my work so I usually ignore the surliness.
Today, however, I was blown away by their coldness. I picked up a prescription that was $ 40 more than it was in April. When I asked about the difference I was told I hadn’t filled it since last November when I had a coupon. While that may have been the case in November, I did not have a coupon this April and I paid $ 25. They printed out the receipt from November and refused to talk about April. They gave me my bags and moved on to the next person. I went home found the receipt for the $ 25 in April and called the pharmacy. After 10 minutes on hold I spoke to the same rude pharmacist. Her story changed about 20 times; she kept interrupting me and my fiancé could hear her screaming. She clearly did not like being wrong! I finally get her to admit I paid $ 25 in April, but she keeps telling me I had a coupon. I didn’t have a coupon in April, but I want a coupon so I ask her where I can get one to use on my May prescription. Finally she admits that she used a coupon that a pharmaceutical company gave her on my April prescription without telling me. I don’t care it saved me money, but I don’t get why it took 20 minutes for her to explain to me the $ 40 difference month to month and yell at me in the process (in store and on the phone).
My prescriptions give away a lot of my medical history so it’s really hard to leave them in the hands of such insensitive people. I will definitely be switching pharmacies after today.

Good convenient drug store.

Being newer to Texas I don’t yet have a primary physician so I use the CVS Minute Clinic. I went at about 4:45 on a Friday to get rid of a cough that just keeps lingering. There was no wait and there were two nurse practitioners onsite. I was in and out in no time. I’ve been to this minute clinic before as well as others and would generally expect a wait time of about 30 minutes while they treat people ahead of you. I love this option because no appointment is required and it’s treated as a trip to your regular doctor. The best part is that your prescriptions can be transferred to the CVS pharmacy or where you normally pick up your prescriptions.

This CVS at Preston center gets one star because they close at SIX pm! What a joke,

I had an annoying cough after my mini vacation. Stupid plane cabin air, its just filled with grossness.
Finally decided to hit up the minute clinic since I didn’t feel bad, just that I had a hacking cough and it kept me up for the last 2 nights. the PA working was super quick and heavy on the hand sanitizer. Everything went by quickly and no waiting for my doc.
Prescriptions were sent right over to the counter and I was in and out in about an hour, drugs in hand. Sweet.
Great for all those pesky but lesser ailments.

This CVS is huge! But, beyond the regular CVS aspect, there is a Minute Clinic inside. After experiencing watching my husband suffer through the flu on our first anniversary last year, we headed to CVS last night to get our flu shots. While I probably would not go to the Minute Clinic for other ailments, the nurse practitioner was super friendly and professional. We literally were in and out in about 10 minutes and our insurance covered it!
So, people… go get your flu shot!
