PSA: We will not be supporting CVS Minute Clinic with our business anymore…read more Today I received a phone call from my mom in TN. My 4-year-old daughter, Sophia, is staying with them for a few weeks since it's summer, and we don't get to see them as much anymore now that we live in FL. Mom informed me that she was pretty positive that Sophia had a UTI (urinary tract infection... and my mom is actually a nurse, sooooo)... Sophia was going to the bathroom frequently, crying and holding herself and saying that it hurt. Since Sophia's doctor is in FL now, Mom took her over to the Minute Clinic in Powell. When it was her turn, Mom informed her of why Sophia was there. The Nurse Practitioner performed a physical examination of my daughter, collected a urine sample (peeing REALLY hurts when you have a UTI) and checked it with a urinalysis. Sophia was found to have a temp of 100' as well as a RAGING UTI, complete with leukocytes, blood, and protein. The Nurse Practitioner then informed Mom that she couldn't treat Sophia because she was "afraid the infection might be in the kidneys." Mom was told to take Sophia to a specific Urgent Care center about 15-20min from the Minute Clinic because they would be able to "do further testing to determine if the infection had in fact gone to the kidneys." My mom took Sophia to the Urgent Care clinic where they performed another urinalysis, sent the urine out for a culture, and treated my daughter with antibiotics. Unfortunately, my sister-in-law actually worked for Minute Clinic. She informed me that it was against Minute Clinic policy to treat anyone under the age of 12 for a UTI. The Nurse Practitioner at the Powell Minute Clinic had NO INTENTION of treating my daughter's UTI from the moment Sophia signed up to be seen because it is against Minute Clinic policy. There are several of these policies that are placed in a provider notebook at each clinic location. Certain ailments in specific populations are against policy to treat there, but these policies are not public information. The providers are then trained to work up the patient anyway, run any testing that would normally be done for the visit, "refer" the patient to a location where they can be treated, and bill the insurance or patient. In the case of my daughter, the Urgent Care clinic did not have ultrasound capabilities. They could only perform a urinalysis and send out a culture-the EXACT same thing that Minute Clinic has the ability to do for any patient 12 and older. This Nurse Practitioner, and the Minute Clinic as a whole, delayed treatment for my 4-year-old daughter, wasted our time, and charged us for a service that they did not provide because it is against their policy. This is fraud at best. Medical testing and evaluation without intention to treat. The reason healthcare is so outrageous in this country. I would like to see CVS/Minute Clinic post these guidelines for issues/age factors/genders that cannot be seen and stop making fraudulent insurance claims by performing exams outside of said guidelines. It is predatory, manipulative, and wrong. Needless to say, we will not be supporting CVS/Minute Clinic with our business anymore.

This place sucks, don't even take your precious dog or cat there they will deny care. They will just take your money and run. They could care less about their patients.

The nurses were very friendly, patient, and urgent even though I did notice that they were very busy they did not let it get in the way of treating us like we were very special. On the other hand, the lady at the front desk with real short blonde hair was very kind - she was very unprofessional. She sat on FaceTime with someone the entire time, said a few cuss words. Everyone in the lobby could all hear her entire conversation. I think she was very outgoing and nice, other than that. Thank you EAST TN CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL for helping my family, once again.

Upon arrival the ladies at the front desk were very nice and helpful. Although once we arrived into our room, it was absolutely filthy. The cabinets were covered in some sticky residue, the walls were also covered in nastiness including the one directly behind the table, and the table she was expected to sit on was covered in glitter. Thankfully I wiped down everything just incase my daughter were to touch it. After waiting for about 30 minutes we were told it was a viral infection without running any tests and told us "I will not be prescribing her any medications due to the fact i'm not her doctor". Needless to say this place needs to actually care about their patients instead of running through them like they don't exist. Start cleaning your rooms properly so viruses don't spread. Finally HAVE SOME EMPATHY AND STOP ASSUMING PEOPLE ARE DUMB. Honorable mention to the "doctor" also known as Mark McMullan, NP.

I will never go back. They even charged my credit card even though I specifically opted out of secure pay. I had to call three times to get them to reverse the charge.

That is, however, no reflection whatsoever of my doctor or the staff at Summit Medical Group. In fact, I never had a regular doctor until I found Dr. Jeffrey Stevens at Summit. I floated around and made my way to emergency clinics and got my antibiotic fix or whatever wherever I could. What made me a one-doctor kind of woman? For me, it all boils down to the fact that I feel like Dr. Stevens actually cares. I don't go to the doctor often, but he always remembers me when I do and asks about things that he remembers from our last visit. He is personable and easy to talk to, which is important. He is professional and knowledgeable. He prescribes a healthy lifestyle before he prescribes pills, which I really appreciate. When I first started seeing him, he discovered that I was being overdosed on thyroid medication. That was almost 5 years ago and he still keeps his eye on it, though it's been stabilized for some time. His entire staff is friendly and never makes me feel like a nuisance. I rarely wait more than 5 minutes in the waiting room to be taken back or in the exam room for the doctor. The perform lab work on site. They perform them right there in the room and results are returned quickly. I have referred several people to Summit Medical Group and everyone has had similar experiences and have been pleased. No one likes to go to the doctor, but it's nice to know that when you do, you have someone you can trust.

I'm glad these walk-in clinics are available because it is not always that your PCP can work one in their schedule, and not sick enough to go to the ER.

The nurse…read morepractitioner there yesterday, Natalie, is by far the rudest healthcare provider I have ever spoke with. During my visit she complained the whole time about not having a secretary. She picked up her phone and walked out of the room while triaging me as well as spent a majority of the time looking at her phone. She said my blood pressure was "stroke level" it was 140/90. I will agree it was a little high but I was and still am in severe pain. 140/90 is not considered "stroke level", I know this because I also work in healthcare. During my visit she asked what I thought was wrong and I told her I felt like I had bronchitis. My chest was hurting and my lungs were and still are burning. I also mentioned I have had a cough and shortness of breath. I also told her my ears had been hurting. She goes yeah it sounds like it and wrote me a prescription for a proair inhaler and told to use it whenever my lungs hurt, she also prescribed telslan gel caps and states these normally don't work but I'm going to try you on them anyways and told me to pick up mucenix. I have had bronchitis every year for the past 5 years and never once have I not had a provider prescribe a zpak or an antibiotic.

He wanted to increase my heart medication without even CHECKING me just because he THOUGHT it should be higher! He was easily distraught over simple things and easily frustrated as well. The P.A that has taken his place doesn't listen to you and interrupts quite often while you are trying to tell him things and does the "I know EVERYTHING " show! There is no one there to help you when he is on vacation and the staff are INCREDIBLY rude and disrespectful up front!!! I will NEVER recommend this place to ANYONE and am just giving you a warning ahead of time! Very disappointing.........
