Be careful when you go to a Walgreens -  "Take Care Health Clinic":

They will rip you off by providing services you don't ask for. Even if you only ask for an immunization, they might charge you later for taking your blood pressure, checking your weight and your height.

This is a total rip off company and it looks like this is part of their business part, once when you step into the nurses office  you she will treat you like a vulture that found its prey.

I only asked for a tetanus booster, and was quoted a price of $55,- When the nurse took my pulse, checked my blood pressure, etc. etc. I thought that this was part of the service, especially since other places only charge $30,- for the booster. When the nurse was done she said  "Sorry,  this is going to be expensive: $144,-"

She could have easily asked me if I wanted to get my blood pressure checked for an extra charge but I assume that they  are trained not to ask in order not to give patients the chance to "opt out".

Any car repair shop has to ask for an authorization to provide extra services - If you take your car in for an oil change you  expect them to ask you if you agree to have the windshield wipers and the brake pads changed. If you refuse to pay their bill they might call the cops and press charges against you for theft of services.  

My recommendation: Stay away from them!
