This is not the real truth.....these studies only found the care for a couple of minor conditions, after they were correctly diaganosed ; ie; otitis, Upper Resp/Sore throats etc to be very good or comprable. That is only if they were properly diagnosed first and only these conditions go there with something that could be more serious? and see what happens then?

Independent clinical studies, based largely on MinuteClinic data, were published in the September 2009 issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine. They found that that the quality of care delivered at retail clinics is equal to or higher than emergency rooms, urgent care centers and physician offices, and the cost!
