Complaint Review: CVS Minute Clinic

      I went to CVS minute clinic today for a sinus infection.  I get these once a year and am always treated with an antibiotic that knocks it right out.  I was in Greenville, SC and decided to try the minute clinic here instead of waiting to go back to Florida.  Huge mistake.  

      First of all, I waited over an hour to be seen.  Not that big of a deal, but when you are sick, sitting in a cramped waiting room is not ideal.  Once I finally got in, after the patients prior to me were in there for over 30 minutes each, I explained my situation and the NP did not listen to a word I said.  I was in there for less than 5 minutes and told that she would not give me a prescription for ANYTHING.  I explained that I get this every year like clock work and the the antibiotics knock it right out if I start taking them early.  Was told that she would not prescribe them to me.

      After that, I was told that I would still have to pay for the 5 minute visit and the cost would be between $89 and $129 based on the level of service.  She did absolutely nothing and I was charged the $129.00.  Completely unacceptable.  I want a complete refund of my money.  This was the worst clinic visit I have ever experienced.
