I have been to the Hickory Minute Clinic a few times for shots, and have had some good experiences…read morewith the NPs. However, after my visit in January, I will never go back to this or any Minute Clinic. I went with some sort of respiratory illness with wheezing, extended coughing/choking sessions (like 20 minutes non-stop), and feeling weak/tired. I explained all of this to the NP (who I had never seen there before), and she basically listened to my lungs, and took my temp and blood oxygen levels, and did not test for Covid, RSV, or flu. She diagnosed me as basically fine and gave me a prescription for Tessalon pearls and sent me on my way. I had to turn around and go to another local urgent care the next day, where the PA was very concerned about me. She did all of the basics plus tests and took a chest X-ray and was able to diagnose what I had. (The chest X-ray also showed that I had an elevated diaphragm from all of the coughing.) I had to go on steroids, antibiotics, and prescription cough medicine and decongestant. CVS Minute Clinic charged me $649 for a completely useless visit, while the other urgent care charged under $280 (including the chest X-ray). Removing the cost of the X-ray, CVS Minute charged me more than three times what the other (good, useful) urgent care charged me for the basic visit. I'm not sure what happened to the CVS Minute Clinics, but I wouldn't recommend them to anyone unless you want to pay a fortune for a useless visit.

My kids and I got really sick before the Christmas holiday and needed to be seen. Their…read morepediatrician office was fully booked (I'm guessing everyone was getting sick) so our next option was CVS minute clinic. Thank goodness they had lots of options still open the next morning (and same day). We arrived 15 minutes early for our appointment. No one was in the waiting room (assuming they were seeing patients). 15 mins passed our appointment time one patient came out and two staff members (one from each of the two rooms). That's when the NP told us "we'll be right with you." Waited another 10 minutes before we were called back into the room. The NP was the only person seeing patients as the doctor lady wasn't seeing anyone the entire time we checked in. The NP was really nice despite our long wait.

I scheduled an appointment online at the CVS MinuteClinic Northlake location, submitted all…read morerequested documents, and arrived early for my appointment. After waiting for nearly an hour, the nurse came out and informed me--as well as another patient who also had a scheduled appointment--that she would not be able to see us. What was most frustrating was the lack of communication and professionalism. The clinic's posted hours indicated it was open until 7:30 PM, yet told at 6:55pm, we wouldn't be seen. During that entire hour, only one patient was seen. Had we been informed sooner that appointments could not be honored, we could have made other arrangements instead of wasting our time. The nurse was rude and dismissive, which made an already frustrating experience even worse. This level of customer service is unacceptable, especially in a healthcare setting. CVS needs to address the staffing and management issues at this location to prevent other patients from experiencing the same treatment. Very disappointed. If I could leave no star, I would! Terrible place

She ended up jabbing multiple fingers, kept squeezing the finger to get blood, couldn't get it into the tiny glass tube so she probed and scraped the tube over the cut for several minutes. It was excruciating. Then she couldn't work the machine that does the check so she did it all over again. Blood everywhere on the counter and sink. She forgot to give me a gauze pad to stop the bleeding. Told me to just grab one myself. Forgot to put a band aid on and apologized for that too. Dropped stuff. And after all that, blamed the machine because she didn't know how to work it, so all this was for naught. I'll have to do it all over again, definitely somewhere else. I'm pretty shocked, because last year I had a good experience here. But this hire was clearly not vetted by the hiring staff. She is a complete disaster.
