My experience today (10-18) was perfectly fine and acceptable. From the time I arrived at the CVS Location to the time I obtained my Flu Shot and drove away - 15 minutes out of my day. I had no issues. Of course: I followed the directions. I arrived to the Store 10 minutes in advance; I was alert for text messages - which I received regarding status; I waited for and received my phone call from the NP; a CVS Customer Care Manager was there to walk me through the check-in procedures. I used my Insurance Card. I had no issues and was in and out with a Flu Shot in less than 10 minutes. No complaints; I appreciate the professionalism.

Couldn't get an appointment at our usual so gave this place a try to check my son for strep and flu. Nikki was great and the place accepted our insurance. Walked right in with no appointment and waited 20 minutes until seen.

Best experience Ive had in a medical facility.. better than even going the the hospital for non-emergency care. Excellent wait time, you get to see a real Medical Doctor and they treat you like you were at a hospital.. taking blood pressure and etc. Awesome! The price is very reasonable too and especially for someone like me having to pay out of pocket since my insurance doesn't kick in until next month. Overall definitely would refer family and friends there first and foremost!!!

I cannot say how grateful I am for the care I received from Doctors Kazanov and Wagner, the assistant as well. They care and do their very best to get you the help you need in a timely manner. I will continue to go there if no appointments are available at my insurance facility. I wish I could go there all the time! Thank you again. Emily J Friend
