CVS Pharmacy

The minute clinic at this location offers quick & quality service for a real deal, especially if you’re not covered. I went there earlier today 90% sure I had strep & they quickly tested me to confirm my suspicions & even had my prescription ready to before I walked out of the clinic door. Amazing care & service.

This review is for the minute clinic. It’s really hit or miss. I usually only come here when my doctor can’t get me in on short notice. First time I came here, was a few years back for a ear infection. The nurse I had was on point and super friendly and knew what she was doing. When I was signing in a customer came up and warned me that the doctor who was seeing patients was a «nasty old lady». The doctors name I saw yesterday was Janice. She got me in earlier than what was estimated, so that was cool. I just had a cold/​flu and just wanted to make sure which one I had and that I didn’t have strep throat. She wasn’t too friendly at all. To me that’s a big deal when you’re working with people, not just people but sick people. BE FRIENDLY! She barely made eye contact with me and couldn’t remember anything I was saying. I wasn’t impressed at all. It’s hit or miss at the minute clinic. It just depends on what doctor you get.

This review is specific to the pharmacy — and it’s unfortunate because EVERYONE back there was kind and answered questions… except the one woman who made me cry. Yes, a pharmacist made me cry. She through away my coupon and said it wasn’t valid and when I asked her to get it out of the trash so I could look at it she rolled her eyes. Once I got it back I looked it over and realized there was NO EXPIRATION on it — so how was it not valid? She apparently just didn’t feel like applying my VALID coupon. Aside from that she was just downright rude — I don’t pretend to be a pharmacist or know everything, so I ask questions… it’s her JOB to help me. I am pulling all of my prescriptions from there solely based on her — EVERYONE else behind that counter was fantastic. I wish I had gotten names…

Open ²⁴⁄₇. Crap beer selection but they have basically everything you would need in a pinch. Great boxed wine and lube selection! The employees are kinda odd so its always an intresting event come checkout time. Better if your hammered. The rewards program is great. Just scan your card at the kiosk and it prints out a stream of coupons as long as Ron Jeremys bellend. Fleet enimas are usually 2-​for-​1 and the stuffed teddy bear selection is expansive. Great for those times when ya have to say «sorry I crapped the bed» in less than a few words…

This review is for the «Minute Clinic» that I visited earlier this week. I had a sore throat and wanted to get tested for strep because it felt like the symptoms I’ve had in the past when I had strep. I checked in at the computer and it said it would be a 30 minute wait and I was the 3^rd person in line waiting. I came here because I don’t have insurance right now and I read online that a sore throat/​strep check would be $ 79-​$ 99 if you don’t have insurance.
I ended up waiting for an hour and when I came into the room I told the nurse practitioner that I didn’t have insurance and what the prices online were. She said it would be $ 140. I contemplated and asked her what would happen if I waited and didn’t treat it. She told me all this horrible things about what surgeries I would need in my 60’s and that it would lead to my heart and cause complications. So I thought, $ 140 is a lot but it’s better than all of these possible complications.
Long story short, she did the test and it came back negative. Then she proceeds to tell me that the test is only 70% accurate and they will send it somewhere over night where the test is 100%. She then told me the cost was $ 160 because it I was a first time patient. I was so upset because I already thought $ 140 was too much. I asked her if there was anything she could do to take off that extra fee but she said «no it’s all or nothing.» This entire situation pissed me off because they advertise online $ 79-​$ 99 then charge you $ 160! Do not come to the minute clinic. Terrible experience.

Great location, lots of talent, a very slept on place. I used to only think of going here in a pinch, now I even choose it over EZ Shop sometimes. I was talking with my Dad the other day trying to remember what used to be on that land. Slam Jams! PW, good shlookin’ out man!
They have a great variety of drinks. Wether it be, birthday, anniversary, or whatever the event they also have a great selection of cards.
Lines are always out the door which can, at times, be annoying. Half the time I dont mind the wait, im only in a rush to die.

CVS is located on the former grounds of the infamous Blue Fox. Blue Fox was a west side mobster and hooker hang out. Shortly after Blue Fox closed, it morphed into Slam Jams. Now it is CVS Pharmacy: one of Cleveland’s premier 24 hour hot spots. Cleveland can also be a city that never sleeps. This place could have been included on Insomniac with Dave Attell. Next time you are out partying, bartender says «Last Call!» you can head to the funky strip of W 117^th and party on. Maybe hang out at CVS for a little bit then hit up My Friends Deli and Restaurant followed by a cup of coffee at Diana’s.

Open ²⁴⁄₇! Awesome
Typical CVS. Nothing special here. As noted before ^^, they are open ²⁴⁄₇ which i have never seen before. which is totts cool. so now i have a place to go to at 4am to get a hunger fix. may find some strange characters at night that want to be your best friend. either way, you will still find me there buying chips and red bull. (and sometime batteries)

Possibly the rudest, most useless pharmacy staff on the planet. They have no ability to meet a scheduled time, nor pick up a phone to advise of necessary changes to scheduled times. I go out of my way to Walgreen’s even though this place is literally down the street. My blood pressure goes up just thinking about these gits.

This is pretty much your typical CVS. It is a convenient location so they get lots of traffic inside the store. The staff is pretty decent and helpful if you have a question.

During the past few weeks, I’ve gotten a little obsessed with really cheap beer. And every time I would buy my latest 6-​pack of Miller High Life or Milwaukee’s Best Ice here, I would get absolutely no silent judgement from clerks about my life choices. Sure, they could have made fun of me after I left, but I don’t really care at that point. (One day I would like to purchase both antidepressants and a 12-​pace of Natty Light at the pharmacy just to see what kind of reaction I get.)
