I know I've said a lot of bad things about the other CVS.. on Savannah Hwy. This CVS, however, makes me feel much more comfortable. I have made this CVS my home pharmacy.
What makes it so much better? First off, all of the staff, especially the pharmacy staff, are super friendly and helpful. As soon as you walk in, someone asks you how you are or if you need any help finding anything. I appreciate the warm and friendly greeting.
The pharmacy staff here is remarkable. They take time to make sure you have what you need, on time, and that you understand what medicines you are taking. I went to the pharmacist here recently and asked him to look at all of the medications that I am prescribed and let me know if any of them could have drug interactions. He had no problem taking time out of his day to do this for me. He looked through and found that one of my medications could have some pretty serious interactions with a couple of my other medications. He printed off a couple pages of information about these interactions and told me to show them to my doctor. I am very thankful that he helped me with this and was so kind about it as well.
This CVS also does not have any kind of set up to help form lines at the pharmacy. I don't like that, but at least the people that come to this CVS are a lot more courteous about giving other patients the privacy they deserve. I also have never overheard staff and customers talking crap about me or any other customer, like I hear when at the other CVS.
The store itself is clean and well organized. It is one of the newer CVS stores in Charleston, so this is not that surprising. They always have some great sales. When you check out, you usually get a long receipt full of coupons for your next visit. Make sure to keep these coupons somewhere safe! Those Extrabucks they give out are worth cash towards CVS merchandise, and can really help save you money.
If you're looking for cigarettes, however, I don't think any of the CVS stores carry tobacco products anymore. I can understand their reasoning behind this. They want CVS to be a place to become healthier, not more ill. I respect that and I can always get my nicotine at the thousands of other places that sell cigarettes.
Overall, I feel like this is the BEST CVS I have been to in Charleston and it's surrounding area. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The store is clean and organized. It is a fairly large store for its location. It has everything you could need from a drug store. I recommend switching all of your medications to this CVS if you live anywhere nearby. You'll be much happier. read more
