About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver asked the nurse at MinuteClinic: ‘Do you ever treat patients who only come in for band-aids and leave with prescriptions?’ The nurse smiled and replied, 'Oh yes, it's amazing what people bring in here!' The delivery driver shook his head, amazed. Later that day, a regular came in complaining of a sore throat. After some quick tests, the nurse cheerfully announced, 'You’re fine—just take these vitamins.' The man looked puzzled and asked, 'But I don’t even feel sick!' She winked and said, 'Welcome to MinuteClinic—where everyone leaves feeling better than when they arrived!'

2. A curious customer once asked the MinuteClinic nurse: 'Can I get an appointment for my pet goldfish?' The nurse smiled and replied, ‘Of course not, sir. But if your goldfish is sick, maybe it needs a different kind of doctor—like an aquatic vet?’ A regular nearby overheard and chimed in, ‘Actually, I saw him yesterday—he was swimming laps in the community pool!’ Everyone laughed, realizing that sometimes our pets find their own solutions.

3. A regular patient complained to the MinuteClinic nurse: ‘Why do you always ask if I’m allergic to everything? It’s like you’re waiting for me to say “yes”!’ The nurse smiled and replied, 'Well, sir, our policy is to ask everyone that question—even the delivery driver who just brought us coffee!' The patient laughed and shook his head, realizing it was just another one of those quirks of modern medicine.

4. A delivery driver walked into MinuteClinic with a puzzled look on his face. ‘I found something strange in my truck,’ he said to the nurse. ‘What’s that?’ she asked, curious. The nurse took a closer look and giggled. 'Oh, that's just an old sock,' she said. 'Probably from one of your deliveries.' The driver scratched his head and smiled sheepishly. 'Guess I should check my cargo more carefully next time!'
