CVS Minute Clinic, Karla DeArmas, APRN Total Waste of Time & Money! marietta Georgia
I do not have health insurance, and I have been sick the past few days. I was taking Allegra and Advil, and it hasn't helped. I've had a fever (of about 100), sinus pressure, pressure in the ears, sore throat, swollen & tender glands, headache, etc. So I decided to go to a CVS Minute Clinic, because I heard it was only $80 and they could prescribe antibiotics. What a total waste of my time and money.
I didn't have to wait long, that is the only good thing I can say. I find out right off the bat that it is $100 instead of $80, since I am new, not including any tests. Then she wants to do a strep test. I used to get strep all the time, and it doesn't really feel like strep to me, but fine. She did a quick strep test, which came back negative. I thought it might be a sinus infection, because I have had a lot of sinus infections in the past. But no, she immediately said it is probably just a common cold and to keep taking what I was already taking. Then she said, "or it could be a false negative on the strep, we could send it out to a lab" (which of course is more money).
I just wanted an antibiotic. I very rarely take antibiotics, it has been well over a year since I have. But she says that if it is a common cold, that it won't do any good, and we don't want to create resistance. Yes, I understand that, but you are also saying there is a chance it is something that you WOULD prescribe an antibiotic for. And since I so rarely take antibiotics, I am not concerned about resistance, I would like to cover my bases since what I've been using ISN"T WORKING.
But no, she wouldn't prescribe me one, even though I expressed all of that. I paid $129 for ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. To be told to keep taking the over the counter things I am already taking that aren't working.
This is a total rip-off, waste of time. I am so angry right now, It just makes me never want to go to CVS in general. But whatever you do, don't get ripped off by these "medical clinics" that take your money and give you absolutely nothing.
