CVS Pharmacy

Close to NYU medical. Large organized store with a waiting area. Fast friendly and thorough. Was able to pick up my pain meds quickly. Thanks!

Always love CVS! Same as all others, great selection of products and friendly staff. There is a pharmacy in the back, if you are looking to fill prescriptions. Better deals than Duane Reade, which is really great! Make sure you get a CVs card to reap the benefits of $ off coupons and deals.

*** Like every other CVS Pharmacy ***
The only difference between some of the other NYC CVS pharmacies is that this one does not have a self-​check out area. Otherwise, it has all the same items you would find in other CVS locations.

Fantastic service — always a friendly chap at the register. I go there for envelopes which are in the far left corner with the rest of the stationary. Good stationary. I’ve bought a combination lock there too. It served me well, until I lost it.

The manager at the pharmacy is extremely rude. I love the other pharmacists there but she needs how to learn to talk to customers.

Because my chores frequently take me within a block of this particular CVS, I often walk in and check out the sales. My mother, at 92 with mild dementia, likes to nosh instead of eat regular meals. With her Dr’s blessing we stock her fridge and pantry to include such items along with groceries. The CVS specials, like canned soups and fruits, mixed nuts, snack crackers, candies, and cookies, encourage mom to keep eating — and her weight stays normal. When one of the specials sold out, I spoke to the manager, Mr. Rashid. He very kindly went downstairs to check, then brought up some more. Also their cashiers go out of the way to help me, now that they know I bring food to mother. They advise me what is on special, and suggest other things she might like. For the extra attention and kindness, I always take note. And remember to shop at the same store again!

This is a terrible pharmacy.
The only reason I didn’t give them one star is because they’ve never messed up my prescriptions and killed me, and because it never takes over an hour.
When I went to pick up my medication yesterday, there were 3 pharmacists. The first I had the displeasure of noticing was a lady who was yelling at someone over the phone. So loud. And it wasn’t even a brief conversation. I nearly had an asthma attack.
She then loudly complained to the other pharmacist who then began talking to herself while helping me… «I hate goddamn old people» and «Why I gotta deal wit’ dis bullshit», and I thought she was talking to me because she made no effort to lower her voice while doing so, which was awkward. She also gave me inaccurate prices for every medication I picked up.
In conclusion, this place sucks.

I frequent this CVS regularly and am always baffled by the lack of cleaning products (no Method brand products, for example). The selection is minimal at best. The line is always backed up and long. Please stock up on the same variety of cleaning products as your other locations.

I often wish that there was a CVS pharmacy as convenient (or close to it!) instead of going to this one. I find the pharmacists to be a bit abrupt and abrasive.
The cashiers at the front of the store are usually pretty nice, but there’s often a long line (~5 people deep), and there’s not a good place to form a line. It usually goes down one of the aisles, so you’re always in the way.

This is my local CVS, and I’m in here several times a week. CVS, in my opinion is superior to all other drugstores because of their coupons, deals, lower standard prices and extrabucks. What I like most about this particular CVS is the staff, namely the quirky head pharmacist and the very polite young man who frequently works the checkout. The pharmacist is very brusque, which is intially off-​putting, but she’s incredibly competent and at times quite the comedienne. Overall the staff is more polite than one would expect, but one young and softspoken cashier goes above and beyond, always politely inquiring how I’m doing and generally having a great attitude. Plus, you just can’t beat a half-​gallon of milk for $ 2.00 and eggs for under $ 3.00.

I love this CVS, it is rather small but still seems to always have what i need.
The pharmacist Lillian is the most intelligent, knowledgeable pharmacist I have met! She is kind and pays attention to very important details, as does the pharmacy manager Irina. Lillian is the only pharmacist who repeatedly mixes my prescription crème perfectly and properly and better than all other pharmacists I had in all other pharmacy chains as well. The pharmacists sometimes need more staff since they are swamped with prescriptions that need to be filled, but they do it with a smile. They fill orders in a proper and timely manner!

Awesome, newly renovated CVS with a great selection of merchandise and one of the only drugstores in the area that sells Oil of Olay Daily Facials (which I can’t live without). The pharmacy line can be long at times but the pharmacists are pretty efficient. I do not recommend getting your passport photos done here though because the photo guy doesn’t know what he’s doing.

Best CVS staff in city and cheapest place to buy milk in the city! Less than supermarkets.

I have made it point to NEVER go back to this place again. I went in to refill an RX and aside from the lack of privacy I was informed that my RX that I have been getting filled there is on backorder. I was unsure what this meant for me and just had several questions regarding what to do next. I was dismissed with a simple reiteration of «it’s not here it’s on backorder». Excellent. What if this was for a heart condition or another RX that is dangerous for your health if you skip a day? The heartless and disconcerned manner is unacceptable. Go to Duane Reade at 23^rd and 3^rd. I get amazing service there.

I have always preferred CVS over any other drugstore chain. They always have amazing deals and coupons available.
However, my experience with this particular CVS was not that amazing. I went into this location because I was picking up a moneygram order that someone had sent me. This was my first time ever receiving a moneygram. After waiting in a line of 4 or 5 people, the cashier did not know how to properly handle such a request. He had to keep calling over his manager who after 5 times of entering my reference number asked me if I called and activated my moneygram. Of course I hadn’t, I had no idea that was even part of the process. I was directed over to a little red phone which I had to pick up and use the dial pad. Everytime I would push a button it would stick and mess up the whole process. I notified a female staff member and she just looked at me and said oh well there is nothing I can do for you. My friend that I was with finally got the phone to work and we activated the moneygram. Having to wait in another line, we were helped by a different cashier who also did not know how to process this kind of order. Finally after about 10 minutes all was said and done and I received my money.
The interior of this location is such that you cannot decide if it is dirty or clean. I think that is because of the lighting. With all of that said I would much rather walk over a few blocks to a different CVS location.

I used to feel the same way about this CVS, but they redesigned the whole thing! Great self checkout system now, seems like they’re still working out some kinks but a vast improvement for sure.

The CVS, I tend to like other drugstores better but on my walk to school this one is the easiest to get to. A couple of times that I have stopped in here I have found the employees to be a bit rude but other wise its a good store for all ones basic needs.

This CVS is waaaaaack. The lines are always 5 – 6 deep and serviced by 1 person who always looks like they wish they were dead. The shelves are usually void of the item I need.
2 extra stars for the pharmacy, home to my prescription needs. Some of the ladies are nicer than others, and they usually make you stand there a couple of minutes at the drop-​off. But the meds are always ready for pickup when requested, they are extremely helpful in contacting doctors and insurance companies, and they are vigilant about product interactions.

My local CVS. Bastards don’t have shower curtain liners, but they do have pretty much everything else you’d need, including Cheez-​Its.
