CVS Pharmacy has a pharmacist that should not be working there. I have an issue with the way my prescriptions are being filled. Last year they had asked if I would like all my prescriptions filled at the same time and I said yes. They explained that to do this some prescriptions would be less or more to get them all the same time to get my refills. In January all my prescriptions were filled for a 3 month period. Now come April and so far they are all on different days to pick up which is not what is supposed to be.

I have had reoccurring incidents with particular staff not wanting to work apparently. When ONE particular pharmacy staff is on duty my prescriptions won't be filled. Only when this woman is working. And there's never any option for the pharmacy to allow me to speak with a manager or actually find a way to fill my prescriptions. It's been 24 hours since I was discharged from emergency department. Even my case manager has talked with them. Still NOTHING. Their PR sent me to a link that doesn't get answered as a solution to the problem. My family of 5 has been refilling 20 Rx a month, some for over a third dollars a month and the pharmacist can yell at customers and ban customers? And not provide medication from a pharmacy? Because they don't feel like it? And there's nobody I can talk to about this REOCCURRING issue?

I am rating the CVS Store at 8 Eden Avenue, Edison NJ! I go there to get what I need and all the employees and Manager of this store are always very helpful, polite and make sure you get what you came for. The best CVS Store I have ever been to. The store is very clean and neat! More like 10 Stars for this store!

Walked in to pick up pictures that I had ordered. Young man behind the counter flipped though the A-Z for five minutes and "could not find them", wandered off in a haze. Looked like he was on something. Asked him to look in the system, wandered off again, in a haze. Called him back, asked him to check one last time, took five minutes to flip through every single letter in the Alphabet, told me my pics were not there, wandered off again. Told me my order didn't exist, even after I showed him the email confirmation. I asked if I could look though the photos. Mine were the VERY first ones under the last name that I gave him three separate times.
When I held up my photos (this is 15 minutes later) and showed him they were there the whole time, he ignored me. I called to speak to management at the store about this crap customer service, no one ever picks up the phone, just rings and rings. Called the CVS "customer service" line, they took all of my info., dropped the call, and never called me back!!! :) Cannot make this up. The entire time I was experiencing this clown show, I felt like I was on a comedy skit about the pot head customer service guy who just doesn't care. CVS, I will never step foot in one of your pharmacies again. Location: Mckinney, University and Community.

The CVS Pharmacy on Fiske Blvd in Rockledge, Fl promised to expedite a migraine prescription when it arrived as I desperately needed it! When it arrived at the pharmacy, I drove there thinking they would honor their statement - the pharmacy tech refused to process it, telling me a ridiculous story about how they have to wait for the system to process the prescription and it would take at least 2 hours! I don’t understand why people work in Customer service if they don’t want to help people! Thankful this is NOT my regular CVS!

Your automatic system could not help me. I went to the pharmacist himself with my 2 empty bottles to get a refill. This pharmacist does not know how to work a computer. He has to turn away at least 12 different customers that were standing behind me trying to get refills for their drugs. He belittled me and I showed him to empty bottles, a prescriptions that need to be refilled and he told me he won't do it. The computers don't work. But behind the counter, the 2 computers that are behind there, he could figure those out. He refused to refill my prescription. He told me I can take my drugs. Somewhere else to another pharmacy, but they are control substance. I took a big deep breath, and he turns behind the counter where the working Computers are and tells me he doesn't need to deal with my cocky attitude. He was trying to start an argument and a fight with me.
All I wanted was a refill on my drugs. He kept on throwing the fact up that he's a doctor and I have to give him the most absolute respect and I must kiss his feet, because he's the doctor I stated, well, since you're a doctor I'm pretty sure you can figure out how to work a computer. He didn't like that. And so I turned around to the customers behind me that have been waiting. I told him he can't figure out a computer. He yells at me over-the-counter. Telling me that I'm not allowed to talk to anybody. And I need to leave without my drugs in a target grocery store. He needs to be reprimanded for this and if I don't hear anything or anything was resolved. By the end of April 2026 I will take my business somewhere else.

I had an extremely disappointing and unprofessional interaction I had with a pharmacist on Wednesday evening at approximately 6:45 PM. I called with questions regarding two prescriptions. From the beginning of the conversation, the pharmacist did not seem to be listening and misunderstood the information I was trying to clarify. When I calmly attempted to correct her and explain my question, she raised her voice and said, “You need to cut to the chase!” I paused, taken aback by her tone, and she continued by stating that she had many people in front of her and did not have time. I explained that I was only repeating myself because she had misunderstood my original question and that I also needed clarification regarding a co-pay. At that point, I ended the call due to the disrespectful nature of the interaction.
As a customer of many years—and someone with over 36 years of experience in customer service—I found this behavior completely unacceptable. Patients and customers deserve to be treated with respect, especially when discussing important matters related to their health. This pharmacist’s conduct was rude, dismissive, and entirely inappropriate for a public-facing healthcare role. I did contact corporate headquarters following this incident. While the representative I spoke with was polite, I was disappointed that no meaningful effort was made to address the situation or retain me as a customer. Due to this experience, I have made the decision to no longer do business with CVS. However, I strongly believe this incident warrants further review, as no customer should be treated in this manner.

CVS rounds off the pennies in change to benefit the company instead of the customer. If they are willing to cheat the customer of pennies in their change, I wonder what other shortcuts they are willing to do in order to save a few cents!

I had a deeply disturbing experience today at the CVS on Seldom Seen Rd involving the store manager, Syed. Between 11:00–11:30 AM, I went in to return an item (Mypurmist steam inhaler) that I had purchased two days ago. The cashier informed me she wasn’t authorized to process returns over $50 and called her supervisor. When Syed arrived, I showed him the receipt on my phone (I always keep photos of my receipts). He asked for the card I used, and I calmly responded that the receipt was visible. That’s when things escalated.
Syed became visibly agitated and started raising his voice. When I asked why he was upset, he threw the item onto the counter and refused to process the return. When I took out my phone to document the situation, his behavior became even more alarming—he threw the item onto the floor, ran toward me in an attempt to stop me from recording, and locked the store doors from the inside.
This entire incident was witnessed by my 6-year-old child, who was terrified. Throughout the ordeal, Syed continued yelling and made unacceptable remarks while the situation escalated. I had to call 911 as I felt unsafe. I have already reported this incident to CVS corporate and will be pursuing further action so the full footage can be reviewed. No customer—or employee—should ever have to endure this kind of behavior. I sincerely hope CVS takes this matter seriously and holds those responsible accountable.

I have been going to this pharmacy in Ossining, NY for years and have never had any issues with the staff. However, I recently encountered a problem with an employee named EMILY ** at the drive-thru window. She was rude and appeared to be having a bad day, which seemed to affect how she treated customers. Her behavior was unprofessional and not what I’ve come to expect from this location. Based on this experience, I do not feel she is suited for a customer-facing role. I will also be filing a formal complaint with corporate headquarters.

I use an Amgen copay assistance card to cover the cost of my Enbrel through CVS Specialty Pharmacy. CVS shipped my medication before billing the copay assistance card, which resulted in a $2,500 balance on my account. This issue started in early February due to CVS having my last name spelled two different ways in their system. Since then, I have spent over 10 hours on the phone, including multiple three‑way calls between CVS Specialty and Amgen, yet the issue is still not resolved.
I have done everything correctly on my end. Despite providing all required information and repeatedly following up, the companies involved cannot seem to communicate or resolve this mistake. Meanwhile, I am left carrying the stress of a $2,500 balance that should never have existed. I am a teacher, and I simply do not have $2,500 lying around. I am also in the process of buying an RV so I can visit my first grandchild who will be born soon, and this unresolved balance threatens to negatively affect my credit. Because of this situation, I have stopped taking my medication altogether, out of fear I will be hit with another massive bill. This has been an exhausting, stressful, and disappointing experience. CVS Specialty Pharmacy needs better internal systems, better coordination with copay assistance programs, and more accountability when their errors place such serious financial burdens on patients.

I’ve relied on CVS for my prescriptions, but this recent experience was shocking. The app said I needed pre-authorization, but my doctor confirmed there wasn’t any issue. When I called the pharmacy, they didn’t clarify why my medication wasn’t refilled—they said I had a 90-day last time and only a 30-day on file. I asked for the 30 days, but the conversation escalated. The pharmacist, Alan, hung up on me. When I arrived in person, he called the cops, claiming I was threatening, which I wasn’t. I was told to take my prescriptions elsewhere. This was distressing, and I’m deeply disappointed by this treatment.

Corporate will not allow the pharmacy to pick up the phone. I want to talk to a pharmacy member when I call, I do not want a return call when I am working and inconvenient for me.

I thought Walgreens was bad but CVS employees took the cake. That ** dude in the front is so ignorant and rude, I'm not sure how they passed the interview process, with that attitude. The pharmacy is another story. I'm always getting notifications on my phone to come pick up my medication. When I get there they don't have my number in the system (but they text me). They said, "It is ready for refill. Press 1 to refill, the medication will be ready at a certain time." I walked up there. No medication. This is an ongoing thing, even while I'm there other patients are going through the same thing. There is no apology. No change. They just Don't care. Go somewhere else before you go to this one.

I recently visited the CVS pharmacy, and everyone there is always so nice, helpful, efficient, and fast. I especially appreciate the store manager, who I see almost every time I’m there, always with the best attitude and incredible patience. I once saw him deal with a rude customer who spoke badly to him and others in the store, yet he remained patient, polite, and still helped her despite her behavior. That truly shows how much he cares about his job. He didn’t deserve what she said to him. Thank you for always providing the best service whenever I visit and to others, never stop being amazing, Rafael **.

You call and simply cannot talk to a pharmacy staff member because their phone system won't let you. The best you can do is leave a voicemail and hope for a call back! It is so disrespectful to the customers. This is a pharmacy and deals with people's lives in medications. This is not supposed to be some rinky-dink operation. In fact it should be illegal to operate this way. I just switched to Walgreens and what a difference. A REAL person actually answers the phone in the pharmacy dept. I am writing my state representative as well as state dept of consumer affairs to advise what is going on at CVS and ask that a bill be drafted to prevent this from happening, as this concerns the health of the general public.

I find the CVS on Walsingham works in a state of confusion. They will send you one thing on the app, but when you go to pickup, it's another story. They are not very supportive or compassionate with their customers. They wait until the last second to tell you they don't have something in stock so your script is delayed, instead of calling another pharmacy that has it so your meds are not disturbed, many times they DO NOT return phone calls and can be rude on the phone. CVS needs to do much better and to be a little more professional, caring and learn how to work with people. I think this is a reflection on the entire company brand. If they can't fix it, Walgreens will be happy to take my business along with the other jaded customers.

I just went to pick up my prescription at the CVS located at 6504 West Little York, Houston, TX 77040, and unfortunately, I had a very unpleasant experience with the ** lady at the pharmacy counter. Yesterday, when I checked on my medication, she responded in a very rude manner. Later, she informed me that they didn’t have the item in stock and needed to place an order, asking me to return today. Today, when I arrived, she charged me for my prescription and another item I purchased, but she couldn’t find the medication I needed. She and two other staff members looked for my package but did not apologize for the inconvenience. Despite my limited ability to stand for long periods, I waited for about 15 minutes. At the end, I received no apology or thank you. Due to this experience, I have contacted my doctors to request a change of pharmacy.

The CVS/Caremark has been a total joke. When my doctor has changed my prescriptions three times now I have not gotten any prescriptions from them and I pay a monthly fee as well as a copay now and still not getting my meds. A month and a half ago I closed an account on a credit card because they were going to charge $10 a month to use them and it took me four and a half hours and two days to find anybody being transferred multiple times and hung up on multiple times who could actually change my credit card to pay for my services.
Today I spent 44 minutes with one operator trying to find out why I haven't got my two new medications that was ordered by my doctor to them while I was in her office over 3 weeks ago. Really got no answers but they said they would take care of it and I also got a letter from them stating that I needed to contact Medicare to find out why medications weren't accepted by them and everything I have is accepted by them and I don't know why I got sent that letter and a person I talked to would never answer my question. I would check ratings and definitely check for other providers if you're looking at using this service.

The only reason there is even one star here is because CVS won't allow any posting without at least one star. CVS deserved a Black Hole. My old pharmacy had to close and my prescriptions were transferred to this CVS, which, as I was warned, turned out to be a storefront of rude, incompetent liars. Great way to build trust in a pharmacy. I first tried to use the CVS online ordering form, but CVS insisted the drug I was trying to REFILL did not exist. I then drove to the store. The pharmacy first said they could not find it, they THEN said they found it and it cost 172.00.
Given that my little independent pharmacy charged 42.00 for the same drug and dosage, I asked them to check it again. They then said AGAIN they could not find it anywhere (after they had found it and tried to charge me 4 x the correct price). When I asked them why they were making up stories that contradicted each other, I was told I had no right to speak to them critically. NEVER NEVER NEVER will I go back. Terrific first impression. I will make sure to tell all my friends about the obnoxious and ignorant people who purport to sell drugs.
