This CVS is just a block off King Street, the main shopping street in Charleston and is also next to the campus of the College of Charleston. There are no grocery stores near this location so it acts more like one, even though it is more of a convenience store. The selection is typical of other CVS locations that I have visited. It has a well-stocked selection of drinks, which was great as I was staying nearby and needed to pick up a couple to fill in the mini fridge at the hotel. It is a convenient place to stop by for a couple of things if you are staying at a hotel or live nearby. read more

While the pharmacy staff were efficient and helpful (in and out in under 5 minutes!), the front end of the store was a completely different story. two employees were stationed at the main registers--one working slowly through card transactions and the other standing idle behind them. No one stepped up to offer help. After watching 4 people struggle and waiting patiently, I finally suggested someone call for assistance. That simple request somehow became confrontational before the issue was eventually resolved--in just a few minutes. It's disappointing to see such a lack of proper training and customer care. I expected better from a CVS store. This location needs serious improvement at the front registers. The pharmacy gets credit. The rest? Not so much. read more

This CVS is tucked off King Street and we needed a few simple items and to use an expiring $10 credit. Easy in and out - we found exactly what we needed and were on our way after a quick self-checkout experience. read more

Located in the heart of the College of Charleston. I just needed one item, found it and checked out. Pretty uneventful. The staff was friendly enough. A manager was positioned up front watching the flow. My assumption is it's due to theft. The store sees a ton of traffic, but seemed to be well stocked. 3.5 read more

CVS Pharmacy - Drugstores Near Me - CHARLESTON, South Carolina

You want higher prices, then this is for you. For example, when I had my cataract surgery there were a number of medications which I needed to get. Suffice it to say that I was told to go to a local pharmacy other than CVS to obtain it for at least $100 less. I did, saved that amount (verified) and subsequently moved my prescriptions to that local pharmacy. That is part of the reason why I do not go back unless I absolutely, positively have to go there due to extreme time conflicts or whatever. The merchandise is almost always more expensive than any other retail establishments. Giving them three stars is a gift. read more

The pharmacist went above and beyond, calling me when the insurance did not seem to cover the drug as expected (I've experienced a pharmacy just fill a script and then surprise me with the sum at check out). Because of their great service, I was able to sort out the problem and get a corrected script sent by my doctor and the prescription filled before arriving at the pharmacy rather than going into the pharmacy and getting a nasty surprise at check out that ultimately would've resulted in a return trip. read more

Completely incompetent pharmacy staff, don't bother asking them questions that they should know, because they know nothing. They aren't even informed or in contact with the people who bring shipments of medicine directly to them every day. I've had to come in every day for a week to wait for medicine because each day they have given me bullshit answers and misleading information, telling me they'd have in tomorrow, rather than simply telling me they actually don't have any of that information. I also find it hilarious that the day it "snows" they were closed but the rest of the CVS was open. The staff knew they would be closed the next day and failed to tell me that or update their website/maps to say they are closed. I don't think they have a manager or have had any training. read more

This is a great urban style pharmacy experience on the campus of the College of Charleston. read more

CVS Pharmacy on George Street in Charleston is a great pharmacy and drug store that is conveniently located in the middle of Charleston. It is an easy walk from just about everywhere on the Peninsula and is great if you need something in a hurry and need to get in and out quick fast. They have a lot of things that you need including snacks, drinks, cards, and other personal items at a good price. I like the layout of the store and they way everything is organized as they are able to fit a lot in a small face with plenty of room to move around. The staff here is great and and friendly and does everything they can to help you and get you on your way. This is one of my favorite drug stores in Charleston. read more

This CVS does some shady things in my estimation. Friday I got a text that my medication was ready. I had house guests so I didn't get to CVS until they opened Sunday morning. I was told they were out of the medication I needed and they were not sure when more were to be delivered. My question is, What happened to my meds? They seemed to have just given them away. Unethical. Branden B. read more

For a CVS it's great. 24 hours it is open. The staff is nice and the pharmacist are helpful.

This review is in regards to the Minute Clinic inside this pharmacy. Use their service at your own risk. I selected this clinic for a test and paid their advertised fee of $139. The clinic NP sent me out to Quest Diagnostics for a blood draw. Quest is now billing me for $380. This additional fee, among other things, was not explained to me at the time of the service. If you're considering the CVS Minute Clinic beware of hidden charges. read more

I meeean, it's a CVS, what's not to like? This George Street location is right in the heart of the CofC campus which always made it super convenient to pick up snacks or whatever between classes when I was in college. There's a lot of hustle and bustle downtown so yes, there will usually be lines at all times but something this CVS has that I've never seen in other locations is 3 express self-checkout lanes (oh, and the grab and go area with sandwiches, drinks, etc)! Of course you'll need to deal with metered street or garage parking if this is your only stop, but I repeat, nice drugstore, awesome downtown location, happy customer. read more

How bad can a CVS be you ask? On my recent visit, they ran out of bags, so customers had to carry out their groceries in their hands. Of the three automatic checkout machines, only one was working, and even that one required multiple visits from the cashier before it would let one checkout. With one cashier working, the line to pay wrapped beyond the checkout area and around the photo booth. How can a simple store be so badly managed? read more

Pharmacy hours aren't as stated on google. Very frustrating when arriving to pick up a prescription for a sick kid and pharmacy is shut down 2 hours before the time listed online. Please modify your hours online so others don't find themselves in the same debacle. read more

Was in port on a ship and needed to pick up a few extra things. A small selection of small trial/travel sized items which were also somewhat expensive. However, it was definitely helpful like any other CVS location and loved the friendly employees! Seemed to also be in a great, safe location. read more

The pharmacy dept needs better supervision. 10 people in the pick-up line, 1 person serving. The pharmacy employees seem to think that smiling would hurt their professional image. read more

This place is utterly spotless. Now it just needs a little southern charm. Who says that's out of reach for a CVS? :)

This is suppose to be a Drug Store! But, as most stores of any kind now a days, Customer Service, along with Common sense is non-existent. I live in Senior Housing where many of the residents use this pharmacy because it is only 4 blocks away, i.e., walking distance. Just because we are Senior Citizens doesn't mean we are stupid or don't count. As you can see by this posting, I am computer literate. read more

Stepped on a rusty nail up in the Smokies, wanted to avoid the $700 plus cost of an ER visit, when all I needed was a tetanus shot. Used the Minute Clinic, Jennifer saw me in minutes, got the shot a minute later, under $100, no wasted day. read more
