Kelly from Mocha Momma shares that MinuteClinic is a convenient way to get her kids ready to head back to school.

Yvonne from joy unexpected regrets not knowing about MinuteClinic and the option for walk in treatment sooner. "I was reminded the day of my son's graduation that Ethan's physical needed to be completed BY THAT VERY SAME DAY. I panicked. I called my doctor's office to see if I could get him in. No. I could not. Not only that, I couldn't get him in for THREE WEEKS. (The first tryout was the following week.) Now, had I known about the MinuteClinic, I could have walked my son into the local CVS/pharmacy store, without an appointment, and had the physical completed there for a low cost THAT DAY."
