This pharmacy has never failed me and that have always delivered my monthly prescription on time. I've been coming here for a very long time when I'm in the DC area. When I'm out of the country, I have always been able to count on the pharmacy team to mail my prescription to me, and it's always come through. The pharmacies that I had dealt with in the past haven't always been so consistent, which is why I switched to this one. They also have a couple of the products that I like, such as the Star ucks cold brew coffee and Red Bull orange flavor. This CVS pharmacy gets it right and I appreciate them. read more

I really enjoy this CVS. I come here almost weekly and they always have what I need. One huge plus is that this CVS operated 24/7. The staff are also very nice (at all hours of the day). read more

I'm over 65, signed up to get Covid shot. After I was given shot I was told I got the regular shot, not the one designed for seniors!! I was not asked if that was ok, just given the wrong vaccine without a choice. read more

The staff at this CVS is wonderful; they will always go the extra mile to find what I am looking for. The people at the register are kind and efficient. read more

I have found some of the pharmacy staff here to be pretty unhelpful, and, in one case, rude. Today, I got in line to pick up prescriptions at 1:30pm, and the woman behind the desk looked at me, and said "you know, we're closing right?" When I asked if I could pick up my prescription she replied "we're already closed." And put down the grate. Not even remotely apologetic. What the heck kind of pharmacy closes for half an hour in the middle of the day, and why be rude about it?! read more

I visited the minute clinic as I was feeling horrible the past few days. Priscilla made my uncomfortable experience of going to see the doctor pleasant. She greeted me promptly, was polite, and professional. What a gem! I will visit this location again in the future should a need arise. Hopefully not, fingers crossed :) read more

On the whole, it is a good store: responsive manager, well stocked, well lighted, and clean. The Minut Clinic is excellent and convenient. However, the service in the rest of the store is terrible. Today, the store was not busy but I had to ring six times with long intervals between to get someone to open a locked cabinet. While I was waiting, two other customers rang the same bell , so together we rang eight times. Then I had to wait in the checkout line while two male cashiers flirted with a woman and helped her decide which of her photographs was the best. I finally threw my purchases on the counter and made to leave. Only then did the man in charge tell the other guy to serve me. This is nothing new at this store--the counter crew is simply incapable of checking out quickly. I do not know if they have been told to be chatty or if they are just slow and stupid, but I get asked all sorts of unnecessary questions. Sometimes, I get told to go to the self checkout machines. I refuse to do so because those machines rob human beings of a job, salary, and health insurance. Because the pharmacy is good, or at least has chairs to sit in while you wait and wait and wait, and is better than pharmacies at other nearby CVS locations, so I put up with the lack of professionalism by the checkout staff at the front of the store. read more

So I feel kinda silly that I didn't just check GoodRx for better places to shop for prescriptions but I did and realized this store charges three times the amount anywhere else. So for the sake of my nerves , I'll go elsewhere. That aside, the customer service here should be studied. I can't imagine how people who work in health care can be rude to customers who are trying to FILL HEALTH PRESCRIPTIONS. It's almost as though you're in their way when you're there. Nothing more to say on that. FIX YOUR ATTITUDE, not everyone will respond with rudeness with kindness. It's almost like you wanna mentally abuse those who are just trying to wait 30 min for their prescription. read more

Pharmacy people are just so rude. This was my first time and i requested this cvs bc it has a parking lot and they're not welcoming at all and have the audacity to give attitude. Will definitely try Walgreens or any other place but here. read more

You can find anything you need here from this CVS well stocked store Help friendly and well trained read more

We popped into grab some sunscreen. There was a good selection, and we were able to find what we needed. Quick, easy stop that got us back on our way again. read more

The worst CVS I have every visited (3 times). First time received the wrong drug, second time gave me someone else's medication, third time billed an insurance that's not mine... Finally I went into the pharmacy (on the third visit I was in the drive thru) and told by the pharmacist in charge, "mistakes happen, we try and learn from them." REALLY?? Wrong drug a person could die! Especially the elderly who may not catch these errors. How will this CVS learn from that mistake? Unacceptable. read more

CVS Pharmacy - Drive thru - Drugstores Near Me - BETHESDA, Maryland

Vaccine provider great and gets star. Otherwise the whole store and maybe CVS in general is circling the drain. Awful. On line system kept canceling vaccine appts for apparently no reason, not enough counter staff, poorly stocked, people literally using products in lotion aisles, people stealing, many items locked and no one to help get (see previous) coupons don't work. It's really a mess, I'm done, not going back read more

WARNING - Do not leave the store without checking your prescription medication. A legible doctors order for sixty tablets and a label that said ninety tablets only contained 9 tablets when it was filled. The pharmacist just said she did not know how it happened. Returned three hours later and still the medication was not ready. read more

icalled as a provider i gave all the information to a person who had no clue what i was talking about then without warning put me on hold then Iget the pharmacist who is rude and makes me repeat everything when i had already given all the information of my patient then without helping me put me on hold without any explanation If this is how CVS handles its customers itis a shame . i understand pharmacist are busy but so are we (doctors) and i expect at least to have some answers to my questions concerning a patient`s prescription read more

All the reviews of this location are on point. Very rude staff behind the pharmacy accused me of repeatedly trying to cut the line when I did no such thing. I merely wanted ti ask a question about the types of Sudafed products and there were 4 people working there but 8 people in line to pickup prescriptions each seemingly taking 5+ minutes and I didn't think i should have to wait 40 minutes to talk about a non-prescription item. This happened on 9/12 at 635pm read more

Unfortunately the pharmacy is not good at all at this place. Have had frequent screw ups with our scripts, and they never pick up the phone. Use the one down the street if needed and stay away from this pharmacy if you've the option. read more

So amazing a sanctuary for all lovers of anything beautiful. The store had plenty of open and ready self check outs. There was also a wide selection of notebooks, pens, and aquifer all to make myself feel as if I am glowing. I chose to shop here with no regrets. If you need a good pen and paper, or if you like your hands to feel smooth this CVS is my go to. :) also I adore the round up donation. The idea to round up the coins is genius. i know together we can all do so much good. read more

CVS Pharmacy - Fit for a mermaid ‍ - Drugstores Near Me - BETHESDA, Maryland

Very dissatisfied with both the pharmacy and minute clinic. They provide drive thru service for the pharmacy, however, I've waited several minutes and have even had to bang on the window before someone came to assist. I've also been turned away while waiting in line inside because the clock struck 1:30pm and it was time for their lunch break. It's like they've never heard of staggered breaks? Separately, I scheduled a test with the minute clinic. When I arrived, it actually ended up being just a discussion with the doctor, and I had to make a separate appointment with the lab for the actual testing...not sure what the initial appointment was even for. I was given basically zero guidance on how to proceed in making the subsequent appointment. Communication was very poor. After I had the labs done, CVS has basically held my results hostage. They are unable to set up my health dashboard online, so I'm unable to see my results. It is also IMPOSSIBLE to reach the minute clinic at this location, even when trying to return their call. read more

CVS has changed their system and it is not operating well at If you have prescriptions at CVS, then you can not rely on their phone system. If you call For a status on your prescription their automated system is highly highly unreliable. The system will tell you your prescription is ready then when you go to pick it up it is often not ready. In addition it is now impossible to even contact them via telephone. I have tried contacting them via phone and it was impossible on numerous occasions to get through to them. I have spent over an hour several times. It was not unusual to be hung up. The only way to get thru to them is by stopping by personally. Sadly, 2 years has gone by and nothing has improved. They are understaffed, and the management and overall system is deeply flawed. read more

Doesn't answer the pharmacy phone. It's pretty simple staff the pharmacy properly. The margins are huge why punish your customers. Very infuriating. read more

The pharmacy is the worst run operation that I have seen out of a CVS. They are usually busy but the way the head pharmacist handles stress and being busy is completely unprofessional, yelling at people and not being able to communicate efficiently. I had a small issue with my prescription that made me have to wait longer, my doctors office tried multiple times to contact them and they do not answer the phone. Really awful experience read more

I would give this pharmacy ZERO stars if that were an option. I tried using this pharmacy for at least 2 to 3 years and it is the absolutely WORST. AVOID this pharmacy. Every time I went back because that was the pharmacy my doctors had on file, I regretted it. Every time I went there was an issue. The staff and the pharmacists are disorganized and incompetent. When they screw things up, there is no customer service and they never apologize for their mistakes. They have lost prescriptions I prepaid for and the prescriptions are never ready even when the app says they are ready for pick up. I have transferred my prescriptions to another pharmacy and will never go back. They are the WORST. read more

Super rude people at the pharmacy. They put you on hold for 15-20 minutes, then yell at you and hang up. The management should look into this conduct. They should not allow untrained people handle phones and customers. read more

Been here about 10 times to pick up stuff for my boss. Pharmacy is useless. Would never use this pharmacy personally and understand why my boss sends me here because she doesn't wanna deal with it. read more

Although this CVS didn't offer the specific hair products I was seeking, the customer service from the employees was on a high mark. Of course, you can't go wrong with massive sales through out so I didn't waste a trip, the Extra Care App makes it easy to see what coupons are available. The Manager Idon, was stocking inventory & peeked over to offer assistance, as with Shaidia, at the Self Check Out, who was pleasantly waiting to lend a hand. This location offered GREAT customer service, in addition to the good deals I saved on. read more

Awful awful, awful pharmacy. Avoid at all costs! Refusal to look for a presciption faxed by my doctor that they "cannot see in the system" but that my doctor did send to them the day before (and I showed them the copy olf the prescription, fax and sent receipt), asks that the doctor resend his prescription which he did this morning, so I would get the prescriptions before my departure on a long trip today to Asia. Rush back to the pharmacy, arrive at 1.29 pm, a client is in front of me, 1.32 when I get to the counter, " sorry we are closed now from 1.30 to 2 pm announces the head pharmacist, and closes the curtain , so I do not end up gettiong my medicine despite m y pleading to allow 3 minutes off her lunch break so I would leave with the medication on this 2 month trip. Awful attitude, a prison guard in an artic prison in Russia would probably handle the situation better and with more courtesy. Customers, run, run away from that CVS, and find yourself another pharmacy! There is no reason such attitude should be tolerated by CVS management, and as long as this is the case in CVS sangamore, chose another pharmacy, it will be less stressful. read more

This is the worst CVS. Completely understaffed but also the pharmacist often doens't know answers to important questions (e.g. does this medicine contain something I'm allergic to) and offers to call me rather than deal with it in person to get me to go away but never has or makes up wrong information because he's lazy (e.g. told me my prescriptions don't appear on the app for the last year because the app must be down, despite the app clearly showing my daughter's prescriptions and being up)... again offers to call me back since he doesn't want to deal with it, but never does. the lines are so bad that we've had to switch pharmacies as it takes hours to pick up a prescription. read more

If I could give their Pharmacy and management team less than one star, I would!! Seriously, get it together, It's not rocket science!! On top of it all after speaking to the manager trying to work things out, she leaves me hanging on the phone for at least 20 minutes now! I'm actually still HOLDING while I write this! Looks like there's plenty of time! Such bad customer service! At least pick up any tell me their working on it! Next prescription is being placed elsewhere!! They are so fired! read more

I've never once been able to speak with someone on the pharmacy phone. Incredibly unprofessional

Pharmacy does not pick up the phone. Incredibly unprofessional. Half hour so far and still waiting. Ridiculous.

I agree.completely with the one star reviews. Rude and incompetent staff and they do not answer the phone. I spent more than one hour trying to connect with them. When I went to pick my prescription, which had been phoned in five hours before by my doctor, they could not find it and kept bouncing me from line to line. When they finally found it, about an hour after, they said I was jumping the line when I went to pay. Will never go back. read more

Can I give them zero? Terrible. Been to lazy to change pharmacies but I am over the line. They never answer the phone. They are super slow. Disorganized. Go elsewhere! read more

Seriously the worst pharmacy I've ever dealt with. Frequently doesn't have my medication in stock and tries to give me a different generic despite my doctor saying I need to have the specific medication, lines are often long because they don't staff the pickup line well, takes at least half an hour to answer the phone, they've lost my prescription at least once, and claimed I've picked it up when I didn't another time. I don't understand what their system is but it clearly doesn't work. It's the closest pharmacy to me, but after spending nearly an hour on hold today trying to get an answer of where my medication is, might be time for me to find another one. I'd rather travel a very long distance than deal with this ever again. read more

35 mins I waited in a three car deep drive thru. The tiny parking lot was full and after driving around for 5 mins I decided to get into the drive through to pick up my prescription. Then a was stuck for 35 mins waiting for their poorly trained staff to process prescription pick ups. Finally the care behind me backed out for me to then back out. STILL NO PRESCRIPTION. read more

I've been a customer at this CVS pharmacy for 6 months. I've never written a review about a pharmacy before, but this pharmacy in particular has service that is incredibly abysmal, rude, and slow. One lady is consistently demeaning and condescending towards customers picking up their prescriptions, and she is especially impatient and confrontational with customers. I completely understand that talking with customers is a difficult job, but this dismissive and aggressive attitude is so inappropriate and unacceptable. I find it hard to believe that it is so difficult to speak to a customer with the bare minimum of courtesy and respect. I have filed a complaint with CVS and hope this pharmacist will be talked to about her attitude, and in the meantime I will be using a different CVS pharmacy branch (since although this pharmacist is by far the worst-behaving employee, the service here in general is slow and impolite). read more

Pharmacy department is friendly in person but with anonymity some of them are known to not meet customer service standards. When there was a clear disconnect between the pharmacy and my prescribing physician, they couldn't be bothered to let me know what was going on. They've doled out the wrong number of pills, rung up prescriptions wrong, and I've even seen them issue the wrong medicines at the pick-up window. I'm usually understanding about factoring in human error but the rate of occurrence seems seriously out of whack. If not for the Filipino pharmacist who is always super friendly and professional, I'd probably be rounding down to one star. Conservatively sized parking lot. Staff members often hover around the self-checkout stations. Both the OTC pharmacy and cosmetics/beauty sections seem less well-stocked than at other CVSes. Honestly the fact that it's a 24-hour pit stop is the only other thing I can praise; if I had a closer pharmacy alternative I'd be using it. =============== Fall 2012 update: Grocery aisle sales go fast. Beauty section now carrying Essie and Orly polishes, plus a limited few OPIs. I try to come during evenings to pick up scrips since I've only had positive experiences with like three of the pharm staff. Store staff is on point though-- corrected the coupon error on my ExtraCare card without any hassle. Thanks, Lucy! read more

I had taken my prescription there from the doctor they called me and said the drug was know longer available and I need to contact my doctor. When I spoke with my doctor they said the pharmacy is the one that is suppose to call. They said sometimes the are lazy and tell the patient to. Unbelievable. read more

I am a health care provider and formerly worked at the executive level at the FDA. I am appalled at the service and disservice provided by this pharmacy. My doctor called in an order and I went in the next day to pick up the med. There was no record of her having called. I checked the phone number she called and it was correct. So she called back and spoke with the pharmacist who said I would get a call when the medication was ready for pickup. That was 5 days ago and I never got a call. That's the poor service part of this review. Now for the disservice that this pharmacy provides to our community. While I was at the pharmacy during my visit, the clerk behind the counter had her mask pulled down below her nose. And then someone who works at that pharmacy passes within two feet of me on his way back to the pharmacy. I asked him if he could give me six feet of space and he responded that there was no room between me and the aisle in back of me. I asked him why he didn't use a different aisle with no one in it to get back to the pharmacy. He said that was a good idea and he would do so the next time. Are you kidding me? Two people who work at a pharmacy not abiding by County COVID protocol? It's impossible to get the County health department on the phone, although I will keep trying, but they need to pay this place a visit. I'll never step inside that store again. Epic fails in two major areas. read more

I took my mother to this CVS today and was very impressed by the friendliness of the staff. The cashier in particular was very nice. Also, the store is open 24 hours/day. (Update on 5/31/11): My husband & I went there two days ago and the cashier was very friendly & helpful. (Update on 4/27/13): We took my mother there today, and the manager & cashier were really friendly & helpful. (Update on 3/6/15): We went there today and the cashier was very friendly. read more
