CVS/pharmacy

Pharmacy review — Every time I come in, no matter which doctor I am coming in from, they tell me they haven’t received my prescription yet. They say it takes 20 minutes to receive when they send it electronically… yet, I’ve showed up an hour after the doctor sends it and they still say i will need to call my doctor. The majority of the staff is rude and incompetent.

This is a big, bright, shiny drugstore where it’s easy to see and find everything and I love it!
This store has it all… vitamins, soda, pain killers, contact lens solution and a house band featuring the former lead singer of Color Me Badd.
If you’re looking Band Aids, paper products, cleaning supplies or the place where Shannen Doherty buys cheap sunglasses to hide the pain in her eyes, look no further.
With its numerous self-​checkouts along with friendly service as the staffed registered, this place is more fun than a Red Bull and Vodka fueled rampage through Cincinnati’s Over-​The-​Rhine neighborhood.

Came here to print photos. Got them printed immediately. Nothing serious to complain. Four stars.

This store has it all. Thank goodness. Much needed bandages for the poor blisters on the feet. Not the best idea breaking in your new flats walking, walking, oh and walking.
Location is great.

Crappy service. No employees to help you check out and ring you out. You have to do it yourself. The stupid thing never WORKS! Good prices though on sale items.

Really just a bunch of incompetent idiots that work there, really wish I had established myself at a different pharmacy before finding out I can’t switch.

Favorite CVS so far. Wide open aisles, friendly and helpful staff. I spend alot of time just browsing. Sales are clearly placed beneath items on shelves.

I went to CVS Pharmacy to fill out a medical prescription and the
pharmacist that they did not have the prescribed medicine on hand.
My pharmacy is CVS, but usually I go to the one on East 23^rd st & lst avenue.
This is the first time I have ever used CVS East 34^th street pharmacy.
It is strange that a pharmacy such as CVS would run out of any prescription
medicine.

Sales associates are more hospitable than the managers are. Weird right? Anywho, decent selection of items. The only downfall is that they rely on self-​checkout so there’s always a line. They should invest in more workers to heighten customer interaction, bu tthis seems to be a CVS cooperate decision. Want more interaction go to a duane reade (but not all have quality service).

I went to this store yesterday and it’s large, clean & open 24 hours/​day. Also, the cashier and one of the clerks were pleasant & helpful.

They have everything you would want… probably. Everything is ridiculously expensive though. I would rather goto Rite Aid for almost everything.

This review is for the pharmacy. Doris Li, you are a fantastic pharmacist. I came to you with a prescription that my insurance didn’t cover and you immediately recognized that I was a provider and allowed me to change my prescription on the spot. What could have been a bureaucratic nightmare was instead a quick and efficient business transaction that was not at all painful.
Working at a hospital day in and day out, I know that it’s all too easy for people to do the bare minimum and become inflexible mechanical slaves. It is so refreshing to meet someone that actually exercises their power of thought and free will. Thank you, Doris, for doing your job and simply being a human being.

Can’t say there was anything special with my experience at this particular CVS. Large selection of store items, but inventory containers are routinely damaged and look like they have no problem putting them on the shelves at full price. I do mean full price because it is city prices. Staff is not necessarily unhelpful, but don’t seem particularly psyched to be working at this location. I do not use the pharmacy, but nothing is drawing me in either. Only one register is open so you should be comfortable with self check out. They do seem to have somebody monitoring those stations, luckily, because self check out machines are not exactly patient and customer friendly…

This place is big, has everything, and open 24 hours. Only bad thing is the check out counters which is DIY. It’s rather confusing and inefficient with employees spending their times assisting the technologically illiterate. If only they could just have a traditional human cashier — it would be far quicker and more efficient.

This CVS has been a god send.
I recently transferred one of my prescriptions over to this location from a location on LI and they had some difficulty getting my insurance to approve it. Apparently insurance companies are allowed to decide how often you need a prescription, even when you’re sick? Anyway, they worked with me on getting a lower cost since it would be out of pocket prior to the 25^th and I am not eligible for an override. They knocked the cost down by A LOT and even called me to follow-​up.
They’re also 24 hours, which is a nice touch. Thanks, CVS!

This particular CVS is everything you could possibly want from a pharmacy, if not more. It’s well laid-​out, carries everything from over-​the-​counter drugstore standards to a wide variety of foods to a large cosmetics section. The pharmacist I’ve worked with there is very knowledgeable and friendly. I am also a big fan of the self check-​out stations b/​c it’s efficient and, frankly, there are some items you just want to buy discreetly, if yunno what I mean! This CVS is very convenient to where I live so I’ve been coming here since it opened and have no complaints.

Probably the worst CVS I have ever been to especially the pharmacy. The pharmacy assistant couldn’t even type my medication correctly in the system and then proceeded to act like everything was ok. About an hour later (and a lot of disgruntled customers), I asked what was taking so long and then I was told that she typed it in wrong. The cashier was exceedingly rude when I asked her why no one informed me of the error. They handed me back my prescription and I left empty handed.
I also think the overall layout of this CVS is pretty poor as well. There’s very little space to move around and it is pretty confusing.

Holy smokes is this CVS huge! Probably one of the biggest, brightest, and most organized CVS drugstores I have seen in the city.
It’s in a terrific location close to my doctor’s office and was super convenient for when I had to get a prescription filled for a Z-​Pack a few days ago. The pharmacy in this place is on the money, and is leaps and bounds ahead of the disaster of a CVS pharmacy up on 91^st and 3^rd in my neighborhood. Had no problem using my health insurance card as a new customer and my medicine was ready in about ten minutes. Professional, fast, and friendly staff here too.
As I was waiting I had a chance to walk around this very clean and spacious drugstore. Seems like many sales were going on, big card section, grocery area, refrigerated drinks, toiletries, paper goods, and more all on one large floor. Already has a lot of stuff out for Valentine’s Day — as if we need to be reminded!
Open 24 hours too. Wish this one was up in my hood!

love the layout and that everything is on one floor, unlike some other stores. Great sale items and good grocery selection also.
The staff is not always very friendly and sometimes you need to wait for a cashier, especially at night. That is my reason for only 4 stars

Welcome to the neighborhood CVS!
I’m pretty happy to get a new drugstore in the area. The local Rite Aid has unbearably long lines and gets heaps of the weirdest old people who move at ¼ of a mph behind their carts. Duane Reade is OK, but they really don’t have any good specials on things you need everyday.
I’ve been at this CVS branch a few times already and I am happy to report that this is a great place for cheap drugstore type stuff (like toilet paper, dish soap, etc.) and grocery items too. Yep, I got some food at CVS! They had some seriously good specials on cereal, milk, nutrition bars and more.
The staff was your typical New York City drugstore crew, but they did try to make me feel welcome and even offered to «show me around». That was weird!
