My kids have a pediatrician. However, I do not have a regular doctor I see. I'm relatively healthy and unless I have something crazy happen, I don't need a doctor. That being said — sometimes you need to see a healthcare professional. Now, in Chicago, an emergency room wait it a minimum of 8 hours. I wish I was kidding. That isn't 8 hours and you go home (aff) either. That's 8 hours till you are seen! Who has that kind of time especially when you have something simple like an ear infection or a UTI?
That is why I love Walgreens Healthcare Clinic! This was made for people like me who just need to be seen for simple things and don't want to wait 3 (aff) days to see a doctor or wait all day at the ER. It is also perfect for people who work 9-5. They can easily schedule themselves an appointment for when they aren't working!
8 hours vs. 1-2 (aff) hours — which one would you take? (Now, wait times are determined by where you live and what time you are going. My experience may not be yours and most likely since I live by a big city — Chicago — that my wait times are probably longer.) Also, my kids never EVER get sick during the week. I love that I can easily get them seen on a weekend.
I totally love how Walgreens really have redone the whole store. It's so pretty now! They have made it so it easy to find. I also love that there are 3 (aff) sign in kiosks too. No more standing in line to check in. They also had a big clean wait area to sit in, or since it's Walgreens, you can go shopping (which is what I usually do!). I'm a multi-tasking mom, so sick or not, I'm going to smush in an errand if I can!
I also love that Walgreens has taken the step that besides their Healthcare Clinic, they have also walked the walk with offering an “eat well” spot in the store. Fresh food in Walgreens literally has made me jump and down. They are truly showing their commitment to your overall health.
With a Walgreens on almost every corner, you can easily walk or take public transportation to get your healthcare needs taken care off. Need a school physical? Walgreens Healthcare Clinic. Think you have a UTI? Walgreens Healthcare Clinic. Have an ear infection? Walgreens Healthcare Clinic. Need a vaccine? Walgreens Healthcare Clinic. Trip and fall walking into the store? Walgreens Healthcare Clinic. (Yes, my son managed to trip over his own feet walking in and skinned up his knee. We ended up just needing an Angry Bird Bandaid which we found at Walgreens.) Walgreens is definitely your one stop shop for all your needs!
