This was an early evening visit to the Ardmore, PA CVS. In the past it was the worst pharmacy ever, but tonight it was the best. I had to have a script transferred from another state and they did it well, and at pick up the person cashing us out was pleasant and had a sense of humor. There was no wait time When we didn't find an item quickly, the stock person who was actually the manager found the items quickly from supply and cheerfully brought them out.The cashier in the front was also fast and pleasant. This is not your old CVS read more

They have lots of staff,most of them have zero idea of what's going on.they did not have my Meds. They said I should drive around and try to find a cvs that has them.thats no help. They are clueless And show o desire to help customers read more

Incompetence. Have been a customer - in hindsight I really must question why - and will no longer be. Always something. And never answers or help. Can't fill a simple prescrip. Can't get names, birth date, address correct. Avoid this place. Truly, remarkably incompetent. Unhelpful. I am (almost) speechless. Wonderful CVS down the road in Wynnewood. Go there instead. read more

This location has horrible everything, managers/employees & pharmacy employees , stock and response to reviews (whether positive or negative). I experienced an unacceptable incident at this Ardmore location and we as customers deserve better. read more

CVS Pharmacy - One of the Managers of CVS Location - A young man with dreadlocks, glasses, and a dark Columbia jacket is positioned at a checkout counter in a pharmacy or retail store. He appears to be engaged in a conversation or transaction, with shelves of health, beauty, and personal care products visible in the background. The counter has magazines, a receipt printer, and a sign with store information. The setting is indoors with fluorescent lighting. - Drugstores Near Me - Ardmore, Pennsylvania

This is the pharmacy I use when I'm filling perceptions for myself or anyone in my immediate family. Recently it has fallen off quite a bit. There is now a near 100% chance you will be waiting in line to pick up your perception. Often by the time I reach the front of the line (usually 20 minutes) my perception is still not filled despite the fact that my doctor called in the prescription hours earlier. This place just always seems to be swamped. I did overhear someone from behind the counter defend the length of time everything now takes citing the fact that "no one wants to work anymore" however I think compensation for that very stressful and demanding job where nights and weekends are probably mandatory is probably not adequate. In addition CVS as a whole has a major pricing issue, they will not price match (even their own internet prices) which leads to some major price gauging. I do applaud them for banning the sale of tobacco products... That is a major step in the right direction! Parking here is a bit chaotic but mostly because everyone is always in a hurry. The L shaped lot has extra parking to the back left which is usually full of empty spaces. During Covid they didn't do the best jobs of organizing their lines for vaccines... On more than one occasion I've seen people wait in the vaccine line only to be told to go to the back of the prescription line and other times people waited in the perception line and was told "oh next time go right to the vaccine line". It was not clear or consistent. Hopefully they fix that! read more

CVS Pharmacy - Walgreens has this for $6.99 CVS has this listed for $9.79 but for some reason in store $10.29 And of course they do not price match. - A small, colorful box of Pepto Kids chewable tablets is held above a CVS pharmacy receipt. The box features pink and purple colors, with branding indicating it is for children, and highlights the flavor as bubble gum. The receipt displays store information, purchase details, and prices. The background appears to be dark fabric, possibly clothing. - Drugstores Near Me - Ardmore, Pennsylvania

Yelp says that they're open 24 hours and they are not. I came at 10:01 and the manager said that they were closed but was very kind and still let me make a purchase knowing that it still says 24 hours. read more

This isn't my usual drugstore, but when in the area I always stop off at this CVS. They have amazing staff and great products. This CVS is giant compared to other local drugstores. While it is on the older side, it is kept up to date. For example, they installed machines that allow you to upload your photos and then print them on nice paper. This CVS has a large variety of products from make-up, to snacks, to cards. They had around 2-3 aisles devoted to basic-needs like deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrushes, facial-cleaners, etc. They even had half an aisle devoted to travel-sized items. They even had an end-display totally devoted to toy cars. Unlike other local drugstores the aisles here are clean and everything is well organized. At checkout, Charles, the cashier was really great. He was kind, personable and helpful. My main concern with this CVS is the parking. The parking lot is small and the spots are narrow. Other than that, everything is great about this CVS! I will return! read more

CVS Pharmacy - Drugstores Near Me - Ardmore, Pennsylvania

Customer service from the Pharmacy has really gone down. Each time I've had to make a inquiry, pharmacy staff is rude and abrupt. Customers understand being busy. However, rudeness is unacceptable. Transferring all scripts somewhere else. Don't waste your time going there. read more

Just no. The store is fine. But for the love of all that is good In this world, stay away from this pharmacy. They NEVER have what they say is ready, they are impatient, rude, unpleasant and unprofessional. They make you feel like you are unprepared or confused, which is not ever truly the case. I changed to another pharmacy, but the horror stays with me. read more

Called CVS Ardmore PA pharmacy to cancel a prescription that has been pending for over a month - they ordered and it hasn't come in. (Found another pharmacy where med was in stock.) On hold for over 1/2 hour listening to music and repeated message to download there app. (*I don't download apps.) Gave up and called the manager who advised he had nothing to do with the pharmacy but was kind enuff to walk back with phone in hand to advise them I was on hold. After 5 minutes, I was cut off. Never got to tell them to cancel the RX. Don't care.; They don't care for customer. I don't care for them. Have been with CVS Ardmore for 20 years -0-0 I'm done now. Switching pharmacies. read more

The pharmacy never has prescriptions ready at the promised time. I filled a prescription and was promised it at 2:45. It wasn't done at 5:30, and now I'll have to make an additional trip (with no guarantee that it will be ready if I wait another hour). This has happened multiple times and they blame being "busy." The general staff is friendly and helpful, but the prescription situation is ridiculous and frustrating. read more

Came in looking for some things,I like cvs better than rite aid myself. . .Alot brighter , little more room to move around in. Looks cleaner than their competitor. I saw people doing some of their shopping in here lol. Staff seems friendly.. This is a big pharmacy, used to be a pier one imports before.(knowledge bomb) read more

I'm sorry but this location needs to be temporary closed or they need to find a real solution to this recent inability to fill prescription crisis. Corporate or headquarters response to this CVS' inability to fill life saving prescriptions is borderline NEGLIGENT AND LIABLE! A few weeks ago they were behind by two weeks... at the time of this post they said to be behind by 2 MONTHS on all prescriptions!!! This is not acceptable!! Personally I'll be fine but I have parents who actually rely on their meds to live! If they can't fill a script in time they should say so! I'm not talking about waiting an hour or the same day. Please don't lie and claim it will be done in an hour or within days when it will take several days or even weeks!! This catch-up game is dangerous and could cost someone their life or send them to a hospital! I'm not putting this on local staff either. CVS corporate is at fault here! instead of getting needed help at the store they are making staff deal with extremely irate customers. This is absolutely irresponsible and could create an unnecessary emergency or death. There needs to be more transparency or an actual solution. This catch-up game is obviously not working. CVS corporate needs advise clients appropriately in advance so the elderly and those with life ending conditions can plan ahead and ensure they have access to life saving medication in time. read more

My husband and I had an extremely rude experience with the pharmacy at this cvs. We were in line for our booster shots and a South Asian pharmacist handled us very poorly. She didn't allow me to ask questions and got my prescription information wrong, which also made my husband and I lose confidence in receiving a shot from someone who was rude and couldn't type in my insurance information correctly. I understand that the pharmacy is probably understaffed and overwhelmed, even so, there's no excuse for rudeness. read more

says they're open 24 hours and they are not. came to get something in an emergency expecting them to be open and was incredibly dissapointed. read more

No surprise for the really low reviews. The problem is not that they have shortage of staff working in the pharmacy but that the service is so unpolite even rude! I cant say the name of the oriental(sorry no name or badge to be identify) lady that works there as she is not displaying her name but she is SO RUDE. Managers should supervise that the employees treat people with respect. In addition to the waiting line about one hour in line, if you are an elderly person or have problems walking, please take measures as there are not accommodations for elderly people. You will still have to make a long line and then expose yourself to be treated by a rude personal or that they don't have your prescription available. Don't bother to call, they wont answer. Again the problem of shortage of people to work is not an excuse to treat your clients in a rude way. Be kind! read more

This is the worst pharmacy I have ever used. Do not waste your time trying to get a prescription. I have been going here for years and it has gone downhill in the last year. They are inefficient, constantly fail to fill prescriptions, claim they have not received prescriptions that doctors confirm were called in, have excessively long wait times, never seem to care or acknowledge mistakes... the list goes on and on. If you're looking for a pharmacy, look elsewhere. To end on a positive note, the rest of the store is fine, generally well stocked and they have friendly cashiers. read more

The pharmacy never answers the phone. I called 4 times and then had to go in just to transfer a prescription. Very unprofessional. They should assign someone just to answer phones. read more

i was so happy this location opened! The staff have always been welcoming and helpful. There are times they are slammed and clearly are overwhelmed, and it would be helpful if people remembered that so they could serve everybody with a smile. read more

Prescriptions are often not ready, lines are long (I returned 3 times until I finally waited for the prescription) pharmacists appear overworked and harried. The wait to reach the pharmacy by phone are interminable. read more

They are perpetually behind- I'm sure they are good people doing their best, but if you need a dependable, reliable pharmacy... this one isn't it. read more

Lately, the pharmacy has been hopeless. They don't answer the phone, they promise to fill a prescription by a certain time and 18 hours later it still isn't done... I like shopping at this store for self-serve stuff on the shelves, but right now I recommend against using the pharmacy. Plenty of other options around here. read more

I could write a book on how terrible their pharmacy is. At the top of the list is the fact that 9 times out of 10 they don't fill your script when you call it in, they just wait till you get there. Well that can go horribly awry if you get there and they're sold out of what you needed and it's a script that can't be transferred and they never called you to warn you when you called it in because remember they never bothered to fill it in the first place and now it's well past business hours on a Friday evening and there's no way to reach your doctor and that means you won't get your script for 3 days and now you're truly in trouble and there's nothing you can do about it. Run on! Seriously, if you have any kind of chronic illness or anything that requires monthly scripts, go elsewhere. Trust me. You can find better customer service from a frickin' brick wall. Good luck, you'll need it. read more

I am such a fan of this CVS. So much so, that I pass by two other pharmacies on my walk here and still insist on coming back! First of all, the store is huge. I can usually get some very productive one-stop shopping done here because the selection is so great. It is very clean, bright, and well-organized. Make sure you sign up for the free rewards card. The coupons are awesome--20% or more most of the time. You can also "download" the e-mail coupons to your rewards card so they automatically show up at check-out, which is totally amazing if you're forgetful like me! The staff is great too, I'm not sure what the other reviews are talking about. My prescriptions always arrive in time and everyone is very cheerful. Team CVS all the way! read more

Is this the same, dark, drab, cluttered CVS that used to be located on Greenfield Avenue? Wow, talk about a beauty makeover. This new location has done wonders for you. The store is brighter, more organized and the workers definitely friendlier. I was asked by 3 different people if I needed help finding anything. It looks like that have more products too and the best part about it is that they are open 24 hours. read more

The entire staff was knowledgeable and accommodating. The pharmacy is incredibly busy and the customers not always polite. .....but everyone remained kind and focused. From pet food to the pharmacy. ..CVS is my store! read more

Somehow along the way, I became a true CVS'er. Or maybe it was just this specific CVS that brings me back again and again. The store is always clean and has a lot of stuff. I appreciate the good lighting as it is important when picking out the right color of hair dye. Yes, shocking I know, I am not a true red. The staff is always friendly and often will greet you when you enter. Also, they have some serious coupons if you get in their free membership plan. Do it. read more

This was my local Cvs that I always used for prescriptions and such, but sometimes the one pharmacist that was there at night wasn't very nice. It was a young woman who was pregnant at the time, and she was really not pleasant. She just didn't look like she wanted to speak to anybody most times and it made me not want to ask any questions about meds I got from them. However, many of their pharmacy techs are nice and have great customer service skills. This store location is very organized and clean, so I do like coming here more than some of the CVS's in the city. read more

Well, Assistant Manager Dalton is the epitome of Customer Service: he was what I remember about loving CVS as a brand and being loyal to them. If I knew everyone at CVS would be like him, I would never have to go to RiteAid or Walgreens again. But note: this CVS location just made their parking lot isle narrower (it was already narrow before), and their endcaps extend so far into the isles that everywhere is narrow: isles and the ends of isles in the store, and the parking lot. read more

I had such a positive experience with the cashier Drew in the front of this CVS this evening. I called looking for a particular item, a young man answered the phone, looked for the item and since there were only 2 available, he held one at the register for me. When I came in I looked for a few other items and saw the cashier interact so pleasantly with everyone who walked in the store. When I came up and said I had called he handed me my item. While these things are often expected Drew's pleasantness was remarkable. This is not the CVS I frequent but I might go back. read more

This is the worst pharmacy I have ever been to. They always have a plethora of people working there, yet can't seem to get anything done in a timely manner. They don't read their computer systems correctly when other CVS's send over prescriptions, they can't find them. They won't give you an emergency pill if you run out even if the prescription had been filled at another CVS pharmacy, forget your health. One time they said they would call my doctor for a refill and three hours later the doctor's secretary called me and said they never received a call from CVS, so I had to have him call CVS. Why is this so incredibly hard for them with 3-5 people always working at once? I used to go to the CVS pharmacy in Fairmount and they had one (1) person working there almost always and it was just the pharmacist. She was extremely personable and timely and there was never an issue filling anything. She even knew my name. The​ wait was almost always a max of 15 minutes despite how many people were waiting. CVS in Ardmore has only one saving grace, it's 24 hours, a hard thing to find these days. But, it makes sense because it takes them forever​ to fill prescriptions that other pharmacies have ready in 15 minutes with the same number of people waiting. Ardmore CVS also doesn't have workers that know how to check you out. There is a dull look of constant confusion on their​ faces and trying to pay for anything else from the store and using a coupon is painful. They have no idea what they are doing, which the manager agreed with me about. I suggest a private pharmacy, they are almost always better. Rite Aid in Ardmore also is slow and seemingly inept at getting anything done. read more

They just keep on moving that bar as low as humanly possible... Apparently even counting isn't a requirement to be a pharmacist at this store. My sig other picked up her 30-day-supply, returned home, and discovered that there were but 2 -- yes, you read that correctly -- _2_ pills in her bottle. No insurance issues, it wasn't intended to be a partial fill. She called immediately and they confirmed that, yes, there should have been a lot more tablets in the bottle and that they had no idea how the scrip ended up being released with _2_ pills. 93% of the pills just weren't dispensed. How the hell do you miss 93%?! And, as always, every other CVS in the area BUT the Ardmore location had MY pills in stock. read more

This CVS is very difficult to drive in and out of. Not sure why they decided to put it in this place/location. That being said the pharmacy is the worst. If you are in a hurry don't go here. There always seems like there are a lot of people working in the area but aren't helping any of the customers. You can wait forever to ask a question or pick up and pay for a prescription. Also don't call on the phone trying to get thru to the pharmacy. I just called today and hung up after waiting 19 minutes on hold. I called again as I really needed to get thru to refill a prescription and waited 25 minutes. Ridiculous. read more

For a chain drugstore, CVS beats the nearby Rite-Aid any time of day. Better prices, better customer service, MUCH better pharmacy (watch it you don't DIE if you use Rite-Aid for prescriptions; they invariably muck them up), great selection of cosmetics, skin care, hair care, etc. 24/7 - what's better? read more

I go here often and at my last visit, I noticed that bug spray was on the makeup aisle. Bug spray should be nowhere near any face products and listerine mouth wash (which it was right next to). I expect better from the Main line. read more

This CVS is large, clean, bright, and well-stocked, with personable staff. It's open 24 hours which is a huge plus, especially out here in the burbs where stores tend to close early. I agree with others who say this is the best pharmacy location in the area. read more

I cannot emphasize enough how much this CVS frustrates me. There always seems to be a problem, no matter how straight-forward the prescription should be. Long wait times, prescriptions not ready for pickup, misunderstandings...I've never just gone there and left with the prescription without hassle. The other day I was told to wait "just a minute," so, without other instruction, I stayed at the counter. After 10 minutes, I asked for an update and was told it'd take about 30 min longer! Why hadn't they told me it'd take that long to begin with? Meanwhile, they had let me stand there at the counter, slowing down the line, rather than giving me any indication of what was going on. On another visit, there was some sort of problem with all the computers, and I learned from the guy in line next to me that he also ALWAYS has problems with this location. I'm planning to transfer locations ASAP--I dread picking up from this location, it's always so stressful. Meds should not be this stressful. read more

The store in general is run of the mill, but the pharmacy is horrible. There is always a line of people, and unfailingly, you have to wait for your prescriptions -- even if you call ahead, like the another reviewer said, you just have to accept that YOUR TIME WILL BE WASTED -- and wait. This winter, time and time again I would go in, see a snaking line of people -- many of whom would be sneezing/coughing/dripping body fluids -- and walk right out in the interests of personal health. I can live without my prescription for a few days. But the senior who goes in for their heart medication and walks out with flu once a month? This CVS is public health hazard. Some of the pharmacists are quite nice, but they are obviously swamped and the disorganized shelves dripping little bags don't inspire much confidence. My drugs are often misfiled under a misspelled version of my name, and inside the slightly misfiled bag is often a slightly wrong drug -- I have gotten generics when the prescription clearly said "brand name only" and upon complaining heard that they don't carry the brand, so take it or leave it. I have trouble understanding how this can happen so often. How hard is it to run a clean, bright, accurate, efficient pharmacy? read more

The pharmacy pickup line is often long and moves slowly. On several occasions that I've had prescriptions filled here they first told me that they didn't have the script on file. When I then showed them my copy of the script they checked and found that they did in fact have it. read more

I have been disappointed by this CVS for little things here and there (though it is helpful that it's open 24-hours!) something happened recently that made me want to write a review: A recent focus for CVS seems to be customer service so they have stationed an employee by the front door to assist with customers' questions or to help them find something. This is great, except several times I have come to the store to see lines of 5+ people and only one register open. Why not use this person to open another register rather than standing by the door and asking people rushing by if they need help? But here's the annoying thing: during my last visit, I purchased several items that were bagged by the cashier behind the counter. When I left, he only handed me one (of two) bags. I didn't realize I was missing a bag until I got home. When I returned to the store 45 minutes later with my receipt the customer service assistant offered to help (finally- she could do something!) What she did was not helpful. She walked around behind the counter and half-heartedly peeked underneath a few things, looking for my bag. It wasn't there. And of course my previous cashier had left for the day. I asked if I could get some replacement items but she said that it was not the policy of CVS to hand out free items to their customers. I was missing about $12 of merchandise which is like zero dollars for CVS. Great. So I had to leave my name and number "just in case" my bag turned up. They never called because of course they never found my bag. Terrible customer service policy. Zero stars option not available. read more
