I am a Florida resident visiting friends in Connecticut this week. My right eye developed a stye during my trip and I wanted to see a health specialist at the Minute Clinic. The appointment was easy to book on line and the wait was short at CVS Riverside Minute Clinic. The nurse on staff was able to provide the care I needed.
The physician I saw during my visit, made a comment that I found inappropriate. I had explained to her that I was going on a cruise in a few days. A few moments later, she was looking at my medication and realized that I was taking a weight loss drug. Her next comment to me was “You can handle eating on a cruise?”, which I took as someone who’s on a weight loss drug - I must have a problem controlling my eating habits. My response to her was, “yes I can control what I eat on a cruise”. I was in shock about the tasteless and ignorant comment. I feel bad for anyone that might also have to go through that and take it more to heart than I did. This physician should be trained on what is appropriate to say to their patients.
NP was thorough and informative about my eye infection (stye).
Very pleasant experience
Appointment was on time; knowledgeable, cheerful nurse practitioner; immediate results.
Amazing expertise and care
Falsely advertised capabilities online. Drove 40 minutes one way out of my way to be told the nurse practitioner cannot draw blood. Importe waste of my time
Outstanding experience. Thoughtful, collaborative, great listener and together we worked out a path forward.
It is easy and convenient to schedule an appointment. The nurse practitioner asks a lot of questions but barely looked at my ears or throat. She threw out a lot of information that I thought was contradictory in some ways and didn’t have a clear plan or explanation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is GLP-1 and how does it help with weight loss?
GLP-1 medications work by imitating a natural hormone that regulates insulin and appetite. They help reduce cravings and improve blood sugar control, which can lead to weight loss when combined with diet and activity changes.
How can I get prescribed Ozempic® or another weight-loss medication?
A licensed MinuteClinic® provider will evaluate your health history, medications, BMI (Body Mass Index) and lifestyle. If you're a good candidate, they can prescribe GLP-1 medication either in person or virtually.
Is semaglutide covered by insurance?
Insurance coverage can vary. Some plans cover semaglutide for weight loss, while others may require prior authorization. Our staff can help you determine your benefits.
How much does semaglutide cost with or without insurance?
Your out-of-pocket cost depends on your insurance and eligibility for savings programs. Our team can guide you through the process and help you understand your financial options.
How do I know if I'm eligible for weight-loss medication?
Your provider will look at your full health profile, including your medical history, current medications, BMI (Body Mass Index) and lifestyle habits to see if GLP-1 treatment is a good fit for you.

I live out of state but I needed a physical exam for starting school, so I made an appointment with CVS minute clinic. I was seen really quickly and the NP made the whole experience so quick and easy, and helped me fill out all my forms and ordered my labs and told me how to get them! She counseled me on vaccines/labs and was so kind and welcoming. I also really really appreciated how transparent CVS was about the cost of the visit -- right when I got in the room and told her what I needed, the NP told me the cost of the visit out of pocket would be $109 (not including labs). Thank you for making this so easy for a student away from home!
