This review is for the take care clinic inside Walgreen's. After going for a nice run outside yesterday, all of a sudden I couldn't breathe and had wheezing. I figured I'd wait 5-10 mins and it would go away as it had done in the past. It didn't. At 4:04pm my DR was already closed. Off to the clinic to get diagnosed with Exercise Induced Asthma.
I figured I would give this service a shot. I checked on their website and it said no wait. Upon arrival you have to sign in entering you basic info into a touch screen computer. I ended up waiting for 5 minutes but no one was in front of me except the person who was already in the room with the Nurse Practitioner.
I go into the exam room and it is a decent size room. You are asked for your insurance card and ID. She (Deborah Dugan Nurse Practitioner) briefly did an exam and then got me on a breathing treatment machine. She was very nice and easy to talk to.
I left in under 30 mins with an Inhaler called in for me and great breathing. It only cost the same copay for my PCP. All in all it is very convenient open until 7:30pm weekdays and 5pm on weekends. It was way faster than waiting for my DR to book me your typical 1 week out and waiting 15-20 mins when you get there. At take care clinic I was in and out in 30 minutes.
Highly recommended if you need after normal business hours treatment or can't wait to get into your Dr and don't want to over pay for an Urgent Care facility.
