Drive thru stinks. Inside pharmacy stinks. Prescriptions rarely ready when promised. The drivers license dept runs at light speed compared to CVS. The phone system stinks, cannot talk to a person. The smartphone app stinks. The only good thing about this place is that it has prompted me to subscribe to a mail order service.

If I could give the pharmacy a -0 I would. It's IMPOSSIBLE to talk to a live person, updates I've made in person are not in the system, the IVR system is terrible. If I didn't have to use them I wouldn't. Our reviews will not make a difference but at least it helps me vent. I am caring for my mother and to get her RX stresses us both out.

We order OTC products online from CVS because it's a benefit of our insurance. We get a certain amount every 3 months to buy OTC products. I only order ** for my husband. It's almost always out of stock. Also when I do receive it the price is outrageous as compared to other stores. It's the only store my insurance allows. I would never shop there otherwise.

It I could leave 0 stars I would. I am forced to use CVS because that is what my insurance covers. This has to be hands down the worst pharmacy I have ever had to deal with. And to make matters even worse they now won’t even let you talk to a human when you call to speak with a pharmacist. Instead you have to leave a message. Additionally, if you have more than one prescription ( let’s say a random number of 5) you will almost guaranteed have to go to the pharmacy at least 3 times because there is no way your prescription can all be ready the same day together.

Was told by the day pharmacist that I could pick up the script that night and he would leave a note. When I drove 30 minutes to get it her smart mouth told me to tell him to come fill it because she would not do it.

We only use CVS because that is who we HAVE to go through with our insurance. We prefer Walgreens. They just said they filled my prescription and I should have about 60 pills left which I have zero. My doctor filled the prescription 2 days ago and they just let it sit. When I finally went through their extremely long voicemail system because they won't let you talk to a person, and had to leave a voicemail message for them. They called back and said now they are going to charge me. I did not get the 90 day supply only 30 and now they refuse to refill it without charging me for the prescription.
Since they entered their records wrong my insurance won't pay for it. We are seniors and on a fixed income and now having to pay for CVS's mistake. It's pay for the prescription or have to do without for another 60 days. WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THEM. This type of thing has happened before where they say my doctor didn't send out a refill and when I doublecheck it is not the doctor but CVS that made the error.

I spend hours trying to reach the pharmacy every time I need to refill my medication. Every. Single. Time! They are making it harder to connect with an actual human and they make decisions on whether or not they are going to refill my medication without telling me. Here are the issues I continue to have: They keep processing my refill based on an old Rx from 5 years ago that I transferred 3 years ago, not my current one, which causes delays. Even with my prior authorization, they keep charging me full price while also getting paid by my insurance. When my annual prior authorization is pending, they refuse to fill my Rx, even though I have said I will pay for it. When my insurance denies coverage, they call my old doctor from 5 years ago instead of me or my current prescriber and change my medication without clearing it with my current doctor. Good luck getting them on the phone.
All that said, this is a CVS issue, not a staff issue. The staff are great and will do what they can to help sort out my refill problems.... when I give up on trying to navigate their phone system and just go directly to the store. CVS as a company has become impossible to tolerate from my perspective as a customer. Every 90 days since I transferred my Rx to CVS 3 years ago, I have to go through this.

I have come to the decision that I absolutely hate CVS. I don’t like to use that word but in this case I have to. They have the most rude, disrespectful, judgmental, inconsiderate pharmacist that I have ever met in my life. No one in this life deserves to be treated the way CVS pharmacist treats people. I’m not talking about 1 or 2 times but every month for the last 15 months. Once I have my last prescription filled with CVS I will never enter their doors again. Keeping people like them employed only means that CVS agrees with their nasty behavior. I absolutely hate and I mean hate CVS. This is in Pace Florida.

I had left my photos to be developed at CVS over a month ago now. I had been told to come back in two-three weeks when the photos would be done. Naturally, I went back after 2 weeks to see if there were any updates with my photos. I was greeted by a blonde lady at the cash register. I tried explaining to her my situation and how I was only handed a tiny piece of paper, so I didn’t know the whereabouts of my photos. She spoke to me in a passive, aggressive manner and told me that my package was not there, without asking for my name or even trying to look for my photos. She then told me to look at the tracking number they gave me. I responded to her by telling her I was not given any “tracking number.” She then told me to enter the small digits on the paper into the USPS tracker. Nothing that was explained to me.
Upon entering the numbers, USPS stated that my package had arrived. I told her that, and she proceeded to grab the basket with photos and throw it on the counter. She told me to look for it. When I couldn’t find my photos, she said that she didn’t know where they were and she couldn’t do anything about it. All in all, very rude tone. My mother then proceeded to ask her what she (the lady working) could possibly do about this. To which the lady responded, “I can do the same thing that you do.“ My mother then responded, “But you work here? Do you not have more information than the clients?” The lady then responded, “What do you want me to do? Go to North Carolina and get it myself.”
Her tone was COMPLETELY unacceptable with us throughout the entire interaction. She was very passive, aggressive, and very rude to us from the beginning. It was an awful experience, and I will never go back to CVS to get my photos done. A service I have to pay for and got treated completely unacceptable for. To this day, my photos are nowhere to be found, and the tracking number does not work. This person should not be in charge of customer service with behavior as unacceptable as that. We were very surprised with this behavior, as we ALWAYS go to this CVS branch and had never been treated so terribly by someone there. CVS, 13454 S Orange Blossom Trl, Orlando, FL 32837.

CVS recently launched a new system in Ohio in which if a person calls to speak to a pharmacist, they are routed to voicemail and if they are lucky, someone will call back. Prior to this change, I never had a problem with being put on hold waiting for a pharmacist. Terrible idea.

If your business here is prescriptions take it elsewhere. The pharmacy is useless. They’ve shut down the ability to call them and talk to a person, instead you’ve got to leave a voicemail and wait and hope they call you back. They will have your prescriptions on back order for weeks, never tell you about it and never return your calls. Every time I’m in there someone in line at the pharmacy has some issue that leaves them frustrated. You would think that a place whose business it is to look after people’s health would do a better job of getting them the prescriptions they need to manage their issues, but they really only care about a paycheck. The way that they conduct business here is absolutely unacceptable in the world of healthcare.

Don’t ever try to get a refill on a prescription on a weekend. I ran out of my meds, ** (for nerve pain) on a Sunday. I called my doctors office and talked to someone at the after hours service. They said to just have the pharmacy call in a bridge prescription until you can get the prescription approved from my doctors office. This pharmacist from the CVS Pharmacy in Aurora Colorado would not do it. He said it was their policy to only fax prescriptions in to the doctors office and not to make phone calls. Good grief! Is that what this country has come to? Cannot even pick up the phone to make one little phone call. So I called the CVS corporate office and they could not do anything. She said it was up to each individual CVS Pharmacy to make their policies. I am through with CVS, and I hope anyone that reads this will not go to them. The pharmacist that I had to deal with was a real jerk and I hope karma comes back to get him.

There is now no way to speak to a human being! All calls are routed to an answering machine. Then and if the store calls back and you miss the call - this goes on and on in perpetuity! That's if they call back! These are real customers - CVS - and your company is tasked with providing medical care which can not be replaced by automation. Shame on CVS! I have given CVS a second chance to redeem themselves previously when a temp pharmacist, covering for our regular pharmacist YELLED at me and treated me like I have dementia with regards to side effects of my medication. She also STOLE the coupon at the bottom of my mile long CVS receipt. I couldn't believe it!!! It was ripped off the bottom.
I called the store and was met with hostility from the new manager. Please don't take jobs if you don't like working with public. Then I called the toll free customer service number and got the run around, but at least my complaint against the Bainbridge OH store was supposedly taken. Consumers have the power and choice to patronize a business. I am transferring my prescriptions elsewhere. Obviously they don't need my business! And like other reviews, the CVS app is useless and auto fill is a billion dollar profit making machine!!!!

For the past 2 hours I been through three different CVS stores. My prescription was input in the new Britain Ave system, now I’m at another cvs and they have the prescription locked in their system and there’s no way for this pharmacy to fill it. Internal numbers not working either so they are forced to leave a voice message and you get told that someone will call you in 1 hour. I have infection in both of my eyes. In the meantime they had me running around three different pharmacies. Horrible and irresponsible way to treat patients that are need of medications.

CVS is improving. Their telephone automation has improved and much easier to speak with pharmacy. You must leave a voice message but they will return calls. The CVS I use is in Laporte, IN. I have had nothing but good results there and techs and pharmacist are pleasant to talk to. They aren't perfect, in fact nobody is perfect but if they make an error on dispensing count, they will correct it if an error. I've had some bad experiences with pharmacies at other locations and businesses but this location is top notch service.
Original Review: July 13, 2024
For the most part, the CVs I use does a great job but there is always that one technician or pharmacist that complicates your illness. First of all, almost impossible to speak to the pharmacy. There is no option on telephone recording menu to speak with pharmacist. The automation always reverts you to another menu not answering your question. Very annoying. Now, it's bad enough that patients with severe illnesses finally connect with the pharmacy only to receive zero assistance. I wouldn't say the tech was rude but offered no help. Sometimes patients are too sick to drive into CVS immediately to pass them a discount card for medications.
The discount card I had, was pretty simple from what I could see and I'm not a pharmacist. I believe by submitting the corresponding numbers on the discount card would have been enough to process my prescription but the tech insisted on submitting the card at the CVS location. May be policy but it's wrong. Please consider the patients and offer better assistance. I'm not ordering a pizza, I'm ordering a life-saving medication for goodness sakes. Remember your job, medication for sick patients. Thank you!

Dealing with CVS Speciality is a nightmare. They routinely deny ACA-covered prescriptions and devices and then force the patient and provider offices to jump through numerous hoops, even to have the error addressed. They also refuse to give any reference or confirmation number for phone conversations regarding the illegally denied care. When forced to comply with ACA laws, they blame everyone but themselves for the problem(s).

The new voicemail that was added 4-6 weeks back is totally unacceptable and CVS should be embarrassed of themselves. It’s a horrendous disease that came in and negatively infected the system that was in place and was doing good IMO! As with the occasional people you always will run into those kind of people who hold you up, act unprofessional on purpose, and then at the second half of the day she is gone and a new person arrives that you like at knows you so they get it done easier and quicker! But the straight to voicemail has got to go as so many people I know that work at CVS dislike not from them but for us the customer as well.

I've used CVS' pharmacy for almost 30 years. They have steadily gone downhill over the years due to various annoying and unhelpful corporate policies obviously made by empty suits to "increase productivity" and totally ruin all aspects of customer service (for example constantly autorefilling my prescriptions that I do not need despite telling them multiple times to stop doing this). I'm done with this horrible company.
The tipping points for me now, driving me away, are these:
(1) They changed their call in prescription refill system last year. Since then NONE of my previous prescriptions could be found by their dumb** artificial stupidity new system. The new system only allows you to enter your birthdate then it looks you up your prescriptions (incorrectly as I said above). THERE IS NO WAY TO GIVE IT THE PRESCRIPTION # YOU ARE TRYING TO REFILL like how it USED to work PERFECTLY. To deal with this I've had to call and speak to someone in the pharmacy, or go there in person, where they could see the prescriptions I needed which their automated system could not. I could live with this inconvenience but NOW....
(2) Finally after months of having to call and ask to speak with someone in the pharmacy (or go there in person) to get my refills done, all those refills have been exhausted and new ones for those medicines were issued by my Dr. So those are now in their system. Great right? WRONG. I am on 3 DIFFERENT dosages of the same medication (**). As are most people who have to take that drug your dosage varies day to day, week to week, etc). But CVS' refill system MAKES NO DIFFERENTIATION between the dosages. So if I call now and try to use that system to refill one of them (and all of mine are used up at different intervals, and do NOT need to be refilled at the same time) it is IMPOSSIBLE to accomplish. It refers to each one exactly the same (only as the drug name, not the dosage). So I need to either call to speak with someone or go in person to get the correct one refilled. Obviously calling is more convenient so I don't have to make multiple trips over there amongst various other demands on my time. But guess what? The empty suits screwed that up too - see #3.
(3) It is NO LONGER POSSIBLE TO CALL AND SPEAK WITH ANYONE IN THEIR PHARMACY. You have to leave a "secure" voicemail for them to call YOU BACK AT THEIR CONVENIENCE (I guess). Since now YOU WORK FOR THEM (instead of the other way around). Alternatively you have to GO IN PERSON AND USE YOUR VALUABLE TIME THAT WAY (I only assume that still works, but I would not be surprised at all if they have also done away with their walkup area for filling prescriptions ENTIRELY and now ONLY have one for pickup).
Well this is the last straw for me. I will get my prescriptions transferred somewhere else. I hope they go out of business.

I went to CVS to pick up a prescription which came due and was needed. The pharmacist at CVS RT 200 Fleming Island Fl told me he cancelled the prescription. He told me he would not fill it. This goes back to a disagreement about a month ago when after a visit to this location, I wrote a bad review about service at this location. After the review, he called me up on my private cell phone and told me as a result of the bad review, he would no longer fill my prescriptions. This is outrageous. I called the district supervisor who said he would handle this. But as I found out today when my prescription was cancelled, nothing was done to correct the problem. This is outrageous and upsetting. I am literally in disbelief that CVS would allow this behavior.

I have to use CVs because of my ridiculous health insurance rules for a 90 prescription. Over the last year CVS has made an error on filling a prescription 11 out of 12 times. Today they filled a prescription that I have not bought from them for over 2 years. I have talked with tech support and the pharm and corp to try and stop auto refills.

I received a message that the ** was out of stock on Wednesday, June 5th and they were going to order it. Today is June 8th and when I went to pick up prescriptions, it was still on order.

I suffer from IBS. On 05/21/24 me and my wife stopped at the CVS pharmacy in Tempe. AZ at the corner of Broadway Rd. & McClintock to pick up her prescription. We got an auto message the day before that it was ready for pick up. I chose to wait in the car. After about 20 min I figured it would be difficult for me to wait until we got home as I was in extreme discomfort. Going back to the pharmacy area where the restrooms are located, my wife was still waiting in line. I asked the girl behind the counter who had all the tattoos, if I could get the key to use the restrooms. She said I could not use the restroom as it was solely for the use of the minute clinic customers. There were no minute clinic customers that I could see nor was anyone else using the restrooms. She asked the pharmacist and he said the same thing. I'll bet the employees who work there could use the restrooms anytime.
We chose to leave and come back later to get my wife's filled prescription. Once we got home, after going to potty, we decided to go back, pick up the original order and get it filled at our Evernorth pharmacy. It took awhile but finally they found the original order. On the way out I asked the front end cashier if I could speak to the MOD (manager on duty). A young man came who looked like he just graduated from highschool. He lacked any sort of managerial presence. I shared my experience, He reiterated what I had already heard explaining that it was a directive from the regional manager. I explained that manmade rules are not the same as the Ten Commandments. They need to be flexible enough to accommodate special situations.
Though difficult to maintain my composure, being very upset, my last words were that "it takes time to build a good customer base, yet it can be destroyed in a moment of indiscretion." You build a business on repeat customers. Lastly, "we will never shop at a CVS Pharmacy ever again". This happened on my 78th birthday. Some folks asked my what I did to celebrate it. I said well, after my experience at CVS, everything got better! "PEACHY BETTER!"

I called them yesterday to update my new insurance card and according to the incompetent person I was speaking with she was unable to verify my insurance. The insurance rep for the medical insurance contacted CVS in Princeton and she was able to verify coverage. I truly dislike everyone at this location.

Have been very sick. No voice and when I do talk it hurts. So with that being said did a virtual appointment. Went great. Monday at 9:30am prescribed meds were supposed to be at the closest CVS. Husband goes and no meds. Not even a record of them. I called the number to get help. First Lady hung up. Second guy George was great. I explained and he put in for high priority so virtual Dr. would resubmit. Tuesday at 6:30 am VDr. calls and says resubmitted. Now 9:50am and still no meds are showing up on the Pharmacy side. Called back to get help and now they have to submit back to the VDr. to have her call and not E-submit. I will never use this system again and will never recommend it either. I will say this the VDR was great and George but the rest nope.

This is regards to the CVS pharmacy at 1950 State St New Albany Indiana. They are rude, incompetent and refuse to correct their errors. They filled my prescription with the wrong quantity- the quantity that is on my doctor's prescription on file - and refused to correct the error. They refilled my prescription without my request or consent after I had already transferred it to a different pharmacy.

CVS Pharmacy in Rochester Hills, MI at Walton & Adams. Bizarre to me that they can NOT get any form of Adderall. Did not even notify me of this. Had to call & speak to a pharmacist & she said they can NOT get the med, not that there's a delay or backorder, etc, specifically that they cannot get the med or ANY form of it or any alternative that I asked about! Wow! Very unhelpful. Never had an issue with Walgreens or Rite-Aid in 6+ years, other than occasionally a slight wait, which is understandable. Went back to Walgreens right down the road and waited 2 days for the med to be filled. CVS pharmacist also said we had to go into the store to give our insurance info, that we couldn't give it over the phone nor online. Well, as we soon learned, that was a lie too. Lazy, lazy. CVS shame on you! Another way to lose more customers. Hire and train better pharmacists. Read your reviews about your pharmacy!!! Last time at this location. Canceled all prescriptions.

I've been using CVS Fairview NC for the past 3 years due to proximity. Service has been marginal (app says ready, go to pick up and store says not ready). After the third "out of stock" message for my life-saving prescriptions I'm switching to another pharmacy. What kind of business doesn't monitor stock and reorder after the next-to-last bottle runs out? Instead, CVS waits until they run out of their last bottle before ordering more? Of course it's Friday and they say it will take 2 -3 business days to get it filled. That takes it to next week Tuesday/Wednesday just to get the drug in the store. That's a reorder plan that is not patient caring. I am out of there.

When you attempt to call their store, you navigate a phone menu, and you have to wait on hold for an extraordinary amount of time before you get an attitude from the human being in the pharmacy that you want to talk to. When you take your complaint to their email address, they respond with a form letter (obviously prepared in advance) and "recommend" you call another number that keeps you on hold forever, but a robotic voice comes on every 30 second and tells you how important your call is to them. After hearing that 75 times, I gave up. Also, they must receive a ton of complaints, because a recent (canned) email they sent me didn't even have my correct name - it said Dear (NOT MY NAME), and urged me to call the same number that keeps you on hold.
Pharmacists and pharmacy techs employed by CVS, in my experience, embellish and abuse state and federal laws and insurance company policies so they don't have to do any actual work, but I don't think they realize that when people don't get their medication that their doctor prescribes, they get very sick and it seriously impacts their lives. My job requires me to operate a motor vehicle, and now I can't. For 6 months. Until I'm cleared by a neurologist and provided I am symptom free. All because they didn't perform due regard or show due diligence. It's a perfect example of a company wanting to do the least amount of work and maximize their profits.
I don't think they really "care" about the lives they are affecting by taking unrighteous authority over a legal prescription and refusing to fill it. Yes, they're short staffed; but that's not my problem... Well, now it is, because my company is short staffed now because if I had my medication, I wouldn't have gotten sick, and I wouldn't have been put out of work. Take your prescriptions ANYWHERE else. Do NOT risk going through what I'm going through now, because they simply do not care, regardless of the response that will be below this review stating that they are committed to addressing my concerns and they'll ask me to contact another phone number that no one answers. You can only do business this way for so long before you reap what you sow.

I was told the medicine prescribed would be expensive. I looked up the medication on Goodrx and found it to be half the price of what CVS was charging. My husband had the text for Goodrx price. When he approached the drive thru window, he was told he would have to come inside to use the Goodrx price. He had just sat in a line of 6 or 7 cars and wasn't about to go inside and stand in another line he assumed would be long. Therefore, he paid the full cost of the medicine. I called the pharmacy to ask why he couldn't use the Goodrx price at the drive thru. It was explained it would take approx. 20 mins. and it would hold up the car line.
I asked to speak with the pharmacy manager. Another girl got on the line started to explain the same info as the previous girl. I asked her if she were the manager. She dropped the phone and I heard voices then finally the actual pharmacy manager got on the phone. She explained that if my husband would have come inside he wouldn't have to stand in the line but come to the "drop off" window to give the Goodrx coupon. But the girl at the window did not state that! So, the manager, said if I still had the receipt I could bring it back in and she would refund me the original total and then ring up the Goodrx price. It saved me half the cost! This was a hassle that shouldn't have been if the girl at the window would have explained. Oh, and BTW it took the manager only 10 mins. to enter the Goodrx info/cost! Not 20 mins!

I can't speak for all locations of CVS pharmacies. However, I can comment on our local pharmacy located inside of Target in Montrose Colorado. This pharmacy appears to be on its way out. Almost a year ago the downward trend started when two of the best pharmacists I have had no longer worked there. They worked very long hours and had constant added duties with inadequate staff. Yet they persevered with a smile. They looked tired. Yet they rarely complained. After their sudden departure, a few different pharmacists arrived. They were far from helpful or friendly. Perhaps they were just the few pharmacists able to tolerate the excessive work hours and growing pressures of additional duties.
At times there would be one of the previously amazing pharmacists working the entire day by themselves, providing prescriptions and guidance while still providing a variety of immunizations themselves. This pharmacy is located inside of a Target. It lacks the convenience of a drive-thru. Yet I was happy to make the walk into the store because the pharmacists were very caring and helpful and their hours of operation were sufficient to allow someone who works full-time to pick up their prescriptions. However, over time, store hours have been significantly reduced. It started with closing an hour earlier at 7:00 p.m. followed by being closed on weekends.
And the last couple months, the CVS has changed its open hours to only 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. This is limiting enough, but there's even more of a challenge. They are also closed for an hour during the day! Someone working 40 to 60 hours a week like I do will have a tremendously difficult time getting there to get a prescription during the week before 6:00 p.m. and stopping by during a lunch break isn't even possible with their midday closure. I wonder if anyone at CVS knows or cares about this? This is leading to a dangerous situation given that many people have medications they should not skip or alter their dosage schedule.
Some meds will obviously be critical for physiological functions, and others may serve a critical need for mental health stability. We are, after all, one of the most medicated societies ever. Why is it then that a major pharmacy in a small mountain town can casually restrict its open hours to a point where many will inevitably not get a refill in time. What are individuals to do if their heart function is mediated by a medication and they're forced to go a weekend without it? I have been a victim of the limited store hours in just such a way, though not for heart medication. Honestly, is anyone paying attention? Is this a corporation-wide issue or do we just have a very poorly managed local store? With 30% of our population being older adults and half of these adults having mobility or transportation issues, coupled with the fact that not all medications can merely be shipped, it certainly seems like a dangerous situation.

I live in Western New York, the Rochester area specifically. Evidently, they are rolling out a new contact program. You cannot talk to a pharmacist directly. Instead you HAVE to leave a message for the pharmacy and have them get back to you. The first time I used it, was to order a refill. I got a call back telling me they would contact my doctor for a new Rx since the old one ran out. They never contacted me to tell me it was ready. I called and heard that they had a prescription in process and nothing more. I was in the area and stopped by Target, which is where the CVS Pharmacy is located in, and everything was ready. I never received a message telling me they were ready. I was lucky they didn't tell me to hang around while they did them.
Today I called and left a message to refill another med of mine, and never heard back from them. I did get a text telling me it was ready. I need to go pick it up. If I have a question for the pharmacist about my meds, I need to leave a message and they'll, allegedly, get back to me. The reason for this change, I was told, is that it would require them to have one person on staff to just answer phones. I'm a very, very patient person, but this is going to make me switch pharmacies. I am on eleven meds a day and don't have patience for this lack of communication. Ask your CVS pharmacist if they are going to be doing this in your area. Supposedly a nationwide rollout is coming.

They don't care about the truth, if the CVS pharmacist can have the power to choose to let the customers suffer they shouldn't have any customers to torture.
There should be a valid reason to refuse to fill a patient's medication and CVS is allowing their pharmacist to discriminate and use personal reasons not to fill, when I spoke the corporate they said that if she doesn't feel comfortable she has the right to refuse and I asked why she didn't tell us that she didn't feel comfortable at first and instead she said she needed to transfer her profile from the previous pharmacy.
When Publix transferred the profile, she got another excuse, she said she needed to talk to the Dr, after the Dr confirmed that it was fine to fill it then she said she wouldn't fill it because she didn't feel comfortable, the truth is she didn't want to because when I told her that I get prescribed the same medicine and I fill it in that pharmacy she looked at me like, "Is my choice not yours."

On December 20, I penned a letter of complaint to CVS Health Customer Relations in Woonsocket, RI, detailing a distressing encounter at the Miramar, Florida branch (12401 Miramar Parkway, Miramar, FL 33027). In the letter, which contained my contact details, I expressed deep dissatisfaction with the service received and highlighted a significant lapse in customer care standards displayed by a pharmacy staff member.
The individual in question failed to uphold the values outlined in CVS Health's charter, exhibiting a complete lack of courtesy, empathy, and respect. During our interaction, this staff member not only neglected to establish eye contact but also treated me with unacceptable indifference. The culmination of this disappointing experience occurred when the attendant tossed the bag containing my medication in my direction, again without even establishing eye contact, an action that conveyed utter disdain.
In my letter to CVS Health I reminded CVS of its charter, emphasizing the importance treating customers with dignity and respect. I noted that the behavior I encountered contradicted this commitment and demonstrated a blatant disregard for the principles of helping people on their path to better health. In contrast, I publicly acknowledged the exemplary service provided by the pharmacist, underscoring their humanity, duty of care, and respect. I commended them for representing the values CVS Health aims to uphold, acting as a credit to the CVS pharmacy. Furthermore, I offered constructive advice, and expressed hope that my letter would serve as a catalyst for positive change within CVS organization. I urged CVS Health to provide comprehensive customer care training or appoint individuals with the necessary qualities for customer-facing roles.
In good faith, I anticipated a prompt response and concrete actions from CVS Health to rectify the issue. However, to date, there has been no direct response from CVS Health. I stated my willingness to share my experience with others in the court of public opinion should CVS Health fails to communicate with me. Regrettably, despite giving CVS Health ample time, there has been no communication. I have been left with no choice other than to share my complaint with the public as sufficient time has elapsed with no response.

The pharmacy worker then walks to the back and tells another pharmacy lady that I was waiting on and wanted the prescription that they didn't have in! So this new lady walks up to me and says (loudly) that they can't fill the prescription because they don't have it in and that I could either wait or take the prescription back. I then AGAIN explained that I had JUST TOLD her co-worker that I understood there was a shortage and that I would wait. I didn't want my prescription back because if the shortage is nationwide there was nothing to do but wait. Plus my surgeon had printed both my prescriptions out on 1 sheet of paper, of which I was told couldn't be cut or separated, but the CVS pharmacy workers had already (literally) torn the paper in half and I wasn't sure if anyone else would accept it after that.
So as I was again waiting on the prescription that WAS READY, the Pharmacy Manager walks up to me and AGAIN tells me that he can not fill the prescription because there is a nationwide shortage and I would have to come back around the beginning of the year. In shock, I asked if this was a joke or if was I being punked. I AGAIN explained to the man that I had just told the other two women that it was "OK" and I didn't mind waiting and that I understood about the shortage. He asked me then if I had another prescription. I told him YES that I had another prescription that was ready and that I was still waiting for. Finally he said he would work on getting that for me.
As soon as he walked off the first lady came back up to me and asked "Well do you have any others prescriptions that you want?" I told her that there was a clear lack of communication between them and that I had already told her and the pharmacy manager that I had another prescription that was ready and he said he was working on it. She then got upset and caught an attitude with me and told me that there were 2 other customers besides me and that she couldn't remember everything. I told her that her lack of communication has caused a lot trouble. She responded to me with an attitude saying "It'll be alright." The pharmacy manager then walked up to us and I asked him to please tell his co-worker what he and I had just talked about with him filling the prescription that WAS ready.
He then looked at her as if he didn't know what I was talking about and said "O does he have another prescription ready?!" And of course, she and I said YES! And as I tried to give the torn prescription back so that I could come back later the manager told me that he would not take it back because they have a high percentage of LOST PRESCRIPTIONS, so just keep it and come back at the beginning of the year.... My wife still on the video call was in shock at everything she was hearing and seeing. As the pharmacy manager walked off to get my medicine the lady at the register looked down at my phone and said "Hey you're recording me. Stop recording me."
As I was in the middle of telling her that I was on the phone with my wife, the pharmacist manager started literally yelling at me saying "Stop recording, that's illegal!" Again I tried to tell them "I'm not recording." The pharmacy manager then walked over very close to me, leaned forward with his left hand raised as if he were going to take my phone and yelled "Yes You Are! Turn your phone off right now!" I told him, "Man you can't tell me to turn my phone off." I then turned my phone around so that he could see the screen and said "I'm not recording, I'm on the phone with my wife." Meanwhile, my wife was also saying "Hello! I'm his wife. We're on a video call. He's not recording."
Then customer behind me decided he was going to speak up and said "Hey, he's not recording, he's on a video call with his wife." So I turned around and shook his hand and said "Thank you for noticing that." Then the pharmacy manager said "That's it! I refuse to accept any more of your prescriptions! Take your stuff and go!" I said aloud as I was paying for my prescriptions, "I have never been so embarrassed" and as I was leaving the pharmacy the manager yelled, "You embarrassed yourself!" And as I was telling him he better stop talking, I could've sworn he called me the word **...
Needless to say that when I left my wife and I called the complaint hotline to report everything that had just occurred. In this day and age, we understand that she may have thought I was recording but once I showed them my phone that should've cleared up. And they did this with a lobby FULL of people. Mind you that I'm only a week and a half out of a major surgery and in a considerable amount of pain while dealing with all of this. And this was at 100 E Fertitta Blvd. Leesville, LA. The first complaint representative apologized for the company and told us to expect a call from the investigations department.
When we got the call this morning after we explained what happened to investigations, the first thing that the woman expressed was that she didn't believe that happened because of their strict policies! But that she would talk to them to get their perspective and look at videos.... We pray that they look at the videos and can hear EVERYTHING that was said but because we know that they will not do anything, we are definitely taking legal action against CVS for discrimination! Much to our surprise we know what CVS stands for and represents but it will be dealt with legally.

I call CVS Pharmacy about a prescription that is in process and I call them to get an answer on why it’s taking so long. They put me in hold for about 10 to 20 mins if not longer. This is getting old. What’s going on there. Hire some more workers if you’re behind.

Unfortunately, I am writing this review after months of being unable to get an actual answer and my actual medication. Over the past few months I’ve noticed a drastic change in the customer service from the pharmacy department for whatever reason they have lied about having my medication in stock. They’ve lied about ordering my medication. Honestly I couldn’t even comprehend what the heck was going on I was at a literal loss of words. I know that if I talk in a a “tone” they label you. They lied about having my medication in stock. Then told me they have a regular person who gets the meds first. To be clear, it’s the same store just different locations.
The CVS I always use has a new pharmacist who told me they didn’t have my meds in stock. Even though I called the night before (at their request) then I was told to call on the morning. After being on hold for a literal 45 min I was told my scripts would be ready in an hour. So I get there, wait in line for another 30 min (I wish I was exaggerating) then I finally get to the counter and I’m told that I was a day early and that it wasn’t even in stock. So I just left and called the next morning and again I was told it would be ready so a few hours later I get there, the pharmacist told me that I was not going to be getting my prescription since it wasn’t in stock and it would be a few days.
At this point I’ve wasted hours of my time lied to, and disrespected. The pharmacist actually said to me you it should be just fine with one of my prescriptions that both wasn’t necessary and that I could wait despite trying to be respectful and I gotten attitude and asked why I wasn’t told it wasn’t in stock after being told going to ready in an hour so I walked away.
Early the next morning I went there because I was very upset at the situation and behold my medication was in stock and was treated like garbage. But you know the pharmacies are under a lot of stress because of the closings of other pharmacies. Unfortunately I decided that I was going to use a different pharmacy but then I realized it was a whole process to go somewhere else. I’ve been using the same pharmacy, my whole entire life and I’ve been getting the same medication for eight years. I’ve never tried to get my prescriptions early. I have never had any issues. I was friendly with these people from seeing them every month. So this month I called ahead like I was told to. And guess what. I was told I needed a pre-authorization. So I had to leave a message with the on call for my doctor. So he sent in to the insurance. At this point, I was out of my meds. And leaving town.
I called the pharmacy the following day (Saturday) and was told they did not have my meds in stock… I was told to call other pharmacies and ask because they couldn’t (LIE) so I called the one closest to my town. They told me no. But that another CVS about 1/2 away had them. So I called there…. They said yes they had it and to have a my script sent over. So back and forth… and then on Sunday (I was out of town) I called on my way home to make sure it was ready for pick up. The pharmacist told me. She had regulated. Who came first. And since I used a different branch, I was told to wait for my meds to be delivered at my OG CVS. So Monday I called my store and was told they never ordered my meds because they didn’t receive a prior authorization!!! What I didn’t know was that having 2 of the same scripts Was a “new” issue.
At this point I’m in tears and nothing made sense. So yesterday I called the OG CVS and was told it wasn’t in stock yet. And try again tomorrow. On the app it still said the other store had my script still. Then they told me my insurance wouldn’t pay and over $900 would be the cost. I said I’ll have to wait to get ahold of my doctor. No one told me having 2 scripts was the issue. I’m writing this because it feels like fever dream. I couldn’t even believe this was happening.
For the record the 2nd CVS still has my medication in STOCK. But won’t fill my script. And they never ordered more because they had it in stock!! At this point I don’t know what to do…. I’m just so tired of all of it. I feel so discriminated again for having a controlled substance. I really tried talking in a calm clear voice. Unfortunately I couldn’t even talk because I was holding back tears. This isn’t ok. And I want to know if this is something I should call my lawyer about. Not being dramatic. But I’m scared I’m going to be put in a list or something.

You can no longer speak with a live person. You sometimes have to wait for hours for them to call you back. I think it is an awful way to be doing business when you have pressing issues to resolve. Sometimes you need to speak to someone relatively quickly to resolve your issues. It is very frustrating to get your issue resolved quickly like you used to be able to when you could talk to someone

On Tuesday, December 12 at 1pm, I tried to pick up a prescription at the Bedford NH CVS pharmacy. The doctor had ordered 26 tablets of my prescription, to be taken 2 times a week for 13 weeks, which is 3 months. The pharmacy filled my order for 24 tablets, which they said was a 3-month supply. Tried to explain that 24 tablets was only 12 weeks, not 13 weeks, and certainly not what the doctor had written on the prescription. I was not using insurance. The pharmacist rudely told me that 26 tablets was a "91-day supply" and that insurance would only cover a "90-day supply".
When I said that we were not using insurance and that the doctor had ordered 26 tablets, he became incensed and was extremely rude, telling me that he could do the math, and I was not going to get the 26, as the prescription called for. There was no calm discussion as to why they couldn't fill the prescription as written, and no discussion as to how to obtain the extra tablets that I need. He stated that they'd never give me the 26, as ordered by the doctor, and was crude and nasty throughout the entire transaction.
Needless to say, I did not pick up the prescription. I'll go elsewhere to get it filled. I've never had such a difficult, rude encounter with a pharmacist at any pharmacy in the United States, and I've dealt with many difficult and expensive prescriptions with pharmacies all over the country. And all this occurred within the 5 minutes I was at the counter. The pharmacist was so incredibly rude and entitled!! I think he should be fired. I'll never set foot in this store again, and I warn others to stay away from this overpriced, difficult pharmacy!

First of all, I’m really sure that this note will do absolutely no good at all. I went through and read a lot of the complaints and see that the majority of them tell my story. I give them a script from my doctor. They don’t stock it because it’s a “controlled substance”. They ordered it almost 36 hours ago and still don’t have it. They said, "Check with us tomorrow!" Yea, right. I’m pretty sure that CEO Karen Lynch will read this ($21,320,000.00) per year and be really upset with CVS in Abbeville, SC. NO POINT IN BEATING A DEAD DOG. I hope to never have to walk through that CVS door again. Karen Lynch should remember that this is a DRUG STORE! That is a place that filled prescriptions in past years, but now it's a place that gives as little service as possible for the biggest return. I will be trying another pharmacy and hope that CVS is just a bad store, and not the norm. BTW, this is not the first time that this store has failed to meet my needs.

Rock Hill SC Celanese. 22:02 pm at night. Speak with pharmacist about a maintenance medication and before I could continue or even answer they hung up. So uncaring and rude. Very sarcastic when information is needed. I wish more caring people were in the field for the help and not the money nor just a job. Medication is very important and the people behind the information can make or break whether it is taken correctly or not and having an ugly or I don’t care attitude affects everyone .. CVS didn’t use to be a non caring pharmacy. Now they just ring you up, hang up and go, "Ugh".. So hard to find good people.

I have a monthly problem with getting one drug! I usually call a few days before to make sure things are in order. Now you can't even talk to the people! Just tried to call (11/21/23 AT 10:04 AM). After stepping through a endless nightmare on their answering line, I am told now I have to leave a message, and they will call back in a few hours! They should just pack up and move to Canada! Service? They don't know what the word means! This is about the CVS in Keystone Heights, Fl.

An e-script was sent 6 hrs ago, only to find out that the CVS I have used for 15 years is now closed on weekends. Never received any communication about this change. I called my provider and a prescription was sent to another Target CVS. I walked in and a handwritten sign is hanging on the pharmacy register “We are no longer open on Saturday and Sundays. Sorry for the inconvenience”. Had to call my provider a second time. 3 hrs ago, my prescription was submitted to the 3rd CVS. Still not ready. I will be looking for a new pharmacy. Unacceptable.

I have been with CVS for 15 yrs. The CEO for this company is the worst yet! I used to get my prescription filled with 30 min when Larry Merlo ran the place. Now, they don't even order and have in stock my meds until it is presented to them from my physician. They will get sued very soon for NOT stocking meds that people rely on to live a productive life. I would have dropped them but the med manufacturer I prefer is what CVS carries. Very slack management focusing on the bottom line putting people last and the employees, consumers pay the price. Can you believe that the CEO Karen Lynch made 21 million last year while they have terrible reviews. It makes me sick.

I have been trying to contact the CVS Pharmacy on Poplar Tent Rd, Concord for the past 2 days. I have held for over 1 hour in some cases and now it’s sending me to a doctor’s voicemail (and I’m not a doctor). This is not customer service for sure. The last time I picked up a prescription the staff person didn’t even look up but said “NEXT” in a terrible tone like I was not important and she didn’t want to be there. This pharmacy needs all new staff and service training. I have worked in healthcare for 28 years. I have had to manage patients with poor experiences and if any staff had acted like this pharmacy they would not be employed any longer.

My Lincoln Park target pharmacy was terribly understaffed, but had one great head pharmacist. He left and plus the understaffing a new male ** pharmacist was just closing as I just tried to ask if they had the Covid booster. As he began to lower the gate, he answered with“we are closing now” and I said “can you just tell me if you have the booster or not?”, and he continued to close the gate. He could’ve just said yes or no. It would’ve taken less time than to say, "We are closing now." After that experience, I tried the Belmont Station pharmacy. There is a charming pharmacist, Betty there, but they are also so understaffed you can’t even speak to a pharmacist when you call. I think I will try a different pharmacy company next and see if they have better staffing.
