Last week our family was toppled with illness: two kids with a virus, the other sidelined by a tonsillectomy, and me with a sinus infection. I was able to get the kids to the doctor, but dreaded calling my primary care provider whose grouchy office staff invariably says (no matter what painful illness has befallen me), "We can see you in 4 days." Aaaagh!
Enter Belleview's CVS Minute Clinic. I walked in, signed in on the computer, was seen after a minute-long wait, spent 10 minutes answering questions about my health history, insurance, and symptoms, then, voila! The very friendly nurse-practitioner had electronically sent my prescription to the pharmacy to be filled right away. You can't get much more seamless than that. Plus, because they are on our insurance plan, I only had to pay a $15 co-pay, same as if I'd seen my regular doctor.
With service like that, I'll be a fan for life.
