This is a really down in it's luck CVS. There are a ton of vagrants out front and the front door doesn't work and is propped open. A lot of the shelves were empty, almost everything is locked up, and it feels a bit grimy. It was a wasted trip for us since it turns out our vaccination isn't covered by our insurance (the pharmacy tech also had an issue checking us in and reviewing our accounts) and the check stand (no self check out) had a line of five people deep that wasn't going anywhere so I put back the candies I'd picked up and left. To be honest I never see us ever coming back to this location, we don't see these issues at our local Walnut Creek CVS and we're always able to use their self check out to be in and out quickly, so overall I think two stars is right on the nose. read more

I've been coming to this pharmacy, but my recent experience was so unprofessional that I felt compelled to share it. I pulled into the drive-thru to pick up a prescription and ended up waiting for 25 minutes. During that time, I watched two cars that arrived well after me in the other lane get helped while I was completely ignored. A staff member kept staring at me through the window, but made zero effort to assist me or explain the delay. To make matters worse, she eventually just slammed the window gate shut and signaled for me to come inside. When I went in, there was zero acknowledgement of the situation and absolutely no apology. Both the technician and the pharmacist seemed more interested in just staring at me than addressing the issue or taking any accountability. What should have been a quick trip turned into a 50-minute ordeal. I expect a basic level of courtesy and efficiency from a pharmacy, especially when handling time-sensitive medications. The complete lack of professionalism and customer service here is unacceptable. I'll be taking my business elsewhere. read more

You can always count on cvs...to not have your prescription ready. I stopped coming to this place years ago and started going to sam's club pharmacy which is awesome. This pharmacy is understaffed. Some of the staff they have are lazy. I called and spoke to the pharmacist 3 times and did an electronic transfer online to make sure my transfer prescription would be ready. I had to inform the pharmacist to call Sam's club to start the transfer. I also informed her I was coming into the store because I already know the games CVS plays. Once I got here and waited in line for 32 minutes with only 2 people in front of me the pharmacy said oh they didn't send the prescription. Okay so call them back and get it over the phone, if you knew I was coming in why would you not take the initiative to call especially since Sam's club pharmacy closes at 7 and it was already 6:47 by the time I made it to the front of the line. While I sat for an additional 30 minutes waiting on my prescription I witnessed every single customer have similar issues and the pharmacist completely ignore a man while he was speaking to her. Honestly I can't blame customers for being rude to the pharmacist because she is rude to them. I'm big on matching energy. CVS locations are constantly closing, let this be the next one. read more

Service is extremely slow. Waited so long just to get something locked up that I just left and went somewhere else.

This review for a special employee named Rell. Rell was super kind and helpful and went above and beyond to help me figure out how to go online and print some pictures. It was the way he greets everyone when they come in to Cvs. Its rare that you find an employee who genuinely is kind and super helpful and has a lot of patience to help a customer with a problem. To CVS management, you are very lucky to have an employee like Rell working for you. He is an example of what kind of employee we are all looking for in customer service. Thank you Rell! read more

Update: 02/10/2025 Some rude lady called saying you need authorization or I could pay out of pocket for my stuff. Then said you have medical so you NEED authorization. My dr sent a two month supply in January with your pre authorization! When I told her I would call my dr she said you do that and hung up. I just got off the phone with my dr who said the people there were RUDE to her too and that they told her she does not get prescriptions here she gets it on treat blvd. I HAVE NEVER ONCE picked up a prescription on TREAT blvd! The dr told them we sent it there. My dr proceeded to read from CCHP (medical) that I DO NOT NEED pre authorization because I am pre diabetic!! I think you guys just bsing because I posted this yelp review! Pretty sure if I contact CCHP they will say the same thing! So over this pharmacy. EVERYTIME I try to refill my prescriptions THEY don't have it.. or they didn't get my drs request, they need to contact my dr. It's always something. I've put refill for 2 of my prescription 4 X online because it shows it's not being refilled! I checked this morning because I am supposed to take one of them every 7 days and there's nothing! I did this last week, so did my dr. Checked again today for the refills and shows there are none put ins so AGAIN I had to put to REFILL! When you call you can not even talk to someone you have to leave a message. EVERYTIME I go in to pick up there's always a customer upset about something. Please get it together! I'm going to switch pharmacies. I come to this one because it's closer to me but I'm so tired of not having my stuff refilled when asked etc! It's always something and I'll post it here the message from them! read more

CVS needs to do better about hiring more pharmacy help. I usually have to come back 3-4 times because my prescription isn't ready. There's always an issue. I don't blame the people working there at all. Get more pharmacists and pharmacy techs. This is a busy location and needs to be staffed adequately. read more

Today in morning, I purchased a bottle of water and a fragrance mist. After work, I returned to the store, thinking it would be easier to pay cash for my rent since it was just a block away. When I arrived in the evening, I walked straight to the cashier with the water in hand and the mist in my pocket, as I only had a fanny pack with me. The cashier informed me that he couldn't deposit cash for me, which was fine. However, when I turned to leave, he rushed in front of me and asked if I had purchased the items. I explained that I had bought them earlier in the day. He then asked the other cashier if he had rung me up and requested to see my receipt. I told him I didn't have the receipt with me (I had left it at work). When I tried to show him the transaction on my phone, he said he didn't want to see the transaction. He then took my items and told me not to return, after which I immediately left the store. read more

HORRIBLE!!! They just pick up the phone and hang up on you!! If you're working with someone's lively hood, you should take a bit more care in what you do! CVS hire better people! read more

The one star is for the technician that checked me out; she was friendly and helpful. 1. It is filthy; the screen plexiglass dividing customer from workers looked like it hasn't been clean for weeks. The surrounding area is dirty as well, even part of baseboard is missing. Pharmacies are suppose to be clean and sterile. 2. Post your hours in a place everyone can see it clearly. They have a tiny little sign that says they are closed for lunch from 1:30-2:00. You can only see it if you stand in front of it. 3. Unorganized; chaotic work area back in the pharmacy. It also looked like they are understaffed; is 5.5 hours to fill a prescription normal? 4. opening 13 minutes late after your lunch break is really Unprofessional! I will not use this CVS again! read more

Wish I could give negative stars. This store is consistently understaffed. Obtaining refills is always a challenge. I called YESTERDAY and was told my prescription would be ready TODAY. Waited in line for 20 MINUTES, only to be told that it wasn't ready and that I needed to wait another 20 MINUTES! This is the last straw. I have selected a new pharmacy: Solano Pharmacy. Wish me luck! read more

Linda, Loura, and Ebonie were such a huge help at check out, grateful for their customer service!

They had what we need, decent price and customer service. We have a cockroach attempt to run over my foot so...be careful not to include one of these little bugs in your bring home purchase. If Carl the cockroach hadn't made an appearance , I would have given a five read more

Follow up. BC not letting this go due to the 'manager' pharmacist (who was changing the treatment my shrink of 25 yrs ordered and not filling script. My GP of 30 years and specialist of 3 years signed off on my dosage and medication. So now insurance companies and cvs pharmacist know me better than my doctors???!! Pharmacists are not doctors contrary to what they tell people. At least no more than chiropractors or Jill Biden One pharmacist when I argued to her (diff one there are few bad 'doctors-small d there) that my doctor wrote this legitimate prescription you won't fill said 'well I'm a doctor too' bs! Plus you are not my fake doctor Anyways I know this manager now and moving forward with the state board complaint. These people should not work as pharmacist's and I prob never would moved in this if he wasn't so rude and insulting. Look for your letter buddy. CVS corporate already knows. read more

The male Pharmacist there constantly refuses to fill medications and interrogates you, it's the most unpleasant and unprofessional experience I've ever had, making you feel like some drug addict. It is mind blowing that a pharmacist has any say whatsoever in what prescriptions get filled and don't get filled when they're not the one seeing patients. It's absolutely unbelievable and although CVS in general is pretty terrible, I've never had such a horrible experience as this. Do yourself a favor and don't get your meds filled here. read more

After having to call for store employees to open up 2 locked cabinets, I stand in pharmacy line to pick up prescriptions. As I'm in line for a couple of minutes, employees said they are shutting down for 1/2 lunch break and they were already 5 minutes late to close. Gate dropped and I have to wait 30 minutes. I contact the store manager and complained about issue primarily because you can't see lunch closure sign. I recommended that there should be a closure sign visible to public when they enter the area. read more

I went and pick up a medication and for some reason something funky was entered in the "days supply" instead of 56 it was manually entered as 63 and because of this it bumped my co-pay to 3 months supply, I don't know why but there is always something wrong with the folks working there I do feel that they are not qualified for that job I'm really frustrated with this location I hope they change one day read more

Customer service is extremely lacking. It was 1:32 when I got in line to pickup antibiotics and pain medication for a dental issue. Three people up front handling the only customer in front of me couldn't assist me because they ALL go to lunch at 1:30 like its 1956. Told me to come back at 2. I'm guessing they've never even heard the word Empathy let alone practiced it. Don't bother with this pharmacy. Safeway on Willow Pass Rd offers a discount for new prescription customers. read more

Not well stocked or staffed. Parking lot only feels safe about half the time. Nobody called when my photos were ready. Pharmacy line is insane. I can only blame some of these issues on CVS, the patrons of this location are just not the type to allow for efficiency. They need 2 lines at the pharmacy: one to pick up a medicine and one to argue about your insurance or make too much small talk cuz you are lonely. I'm never at the window for longer than 90 seconds max, but these other customers are impressively inconsiderate when it comes to the time of the ppl behind them. read more

If I could give this place negative stars I would. Waited in the pharmacy line for 20 minutes with lots of elderly folks; no chairs for people having to stand that long is incredibly insensitive. The place was filthy; trash all over the floor, trash on the counters, sticky residue on the counters. I took a look behind the counter & the drug area was just as unkempt. I was sick and there was no hand sanitizer available, which seems like such a no-brainer for a pharmacy to have available. They'll take money from people all day long but subject them to such inconsiderate conditions; these people should be ashamed of themselves. read more

This place never answers the phone anymore and it's so frustrating! They have this new call back thing that really sucks! Pharmacist is nice but far too nosy. My dentist called in pain meds for me 3 times, only like 5-6 very low dose norco at a time. I got dry socket from 3 molars pulled at once and 2 root canals, all done on the same day! This pharmacist actually flagged me in the system for getting 3 scripts for only a couple of norco at a time after MAJOR dental surgery!!! Seriously ridiculous!!! I CANNOT IMAGINE HER GETTING THE SAME PROCEDURE DONE AND GOING THROUGH ALL THAT PAIN AND SUFFERING WITH LESS PAIN MEDS THAN I TOOK!!! I actually asked my dentist to prescribe me the bare minimum which is why I didn't just get one bigger script to begin with. I only took them strictly as needed to sleep at night, or to be able to eat!! I completely understand pharmacists needing to watch out for people overprescribing narcotics but seriously, she saw me the day I had my surgery done and I could tell she felt awful for me. She said "oh man they really hurt you didn't they"? I couldn't talk, my entire face was swollen and I was still bleeding with a mouth full of bloody gross gauze!! This really upset me because I'm extremely careful with pain meds, my mom is a nurse and I know the addiction risks all too well!!! If I'd gotten 3 bottles of 30 or something then I'd understand!! read more

A CVS pharmacy employee appeared to stand idle longer today than necessary prior to administering vaccines while three of us with appts waited to be helped. (That's not counting two people without vaccine appts who were there before us.) A 10:30 am appt turned into an 11:15 am, on top of which a 10:45 received preference even though my appt time was known to the employee. Also, what use is a text check-in if the check-in is repeated at the counter as if the previous cell phone check-in had not occurred? I suggest CVS should make a better effort to follow their own procedures and keep to customer online scheduling. (I considered a 3 rating as I did receive a vaccine but . . .) read more

one of the workers were very unprofessional and rude for no reason, me and my husband just walked in to buy some food and necessities and we went to go look in the baby aisle because we have been planning to have a baby and then all of a sudden this, i hear this agitating grating voice assuming we are stealing even though we were js shopping and paid for everything even though they assumed that so very unprofessional and i felt targeted and have severe anxiety, you guys need to fix your training with new employees, thank you have a blessed day. read more

Im still steaming I had a 2:30 appointment at CVS for my COVID & flu vaccines. I checked on electronically. Then I stood in the vaccine line to fill out whatever paperwork & give them my insurance. They said it wasn't necessary. Then they sent me to the vaccine area. The tech asks left/right or both arms. I said both & wanted the Pfizer zaccine. She leaves, comes back & says that will be $114. I said I have Humana it should be free. She sends me to the pick up line to provide my insurance info. This line is 14 people deep. I looked at that & said out loud I'm going home. I had an appointment & shouldn't have to wait in the long line. Safeway is on the way home so I went there. Got right in. While I'm in the Safeway waiting room CVS calls me & says they're ready for me. The insurance went through. I said you told me you didn't have my insurance info. She said I'm sorry you had to wait so long but you came at a busy time. I said apologize for that remark right now. I HAD AN APPOINTMENT ! It took them awhile to reverse my charge so Safeway could bill the insurance. I got 2 vaccines & 2 10% off coupons for my next grocery shopping trips read more

I just moved to this area. Don't utilize the drive thru often. I waited a good 5 minutes, didn't see anyone. Another car pulls up, they press the button. I press the button subsequently after and Kahlia taking the drive thru refused to help me first when CLEARLY I was here much longer than the other. Definitely never going back to this pharmacy. read more

I was sitting in my car waiting in line at the drive thru pharmacy when I started typing this review. I scheduled an appointment for 10:30am to receive a COVID-19 self swab for travel purposes. They have two drive thru lanes but only one was open. I waited here for more than 30 minutes with no end in sight. After being put on hold on the phone for 15min to check if I can pick up a kit in store and return to my car to self swab or anything else just to get it done, I was told no. The staff member did not bother to explain. I know it must have been because of precautions so at least he could have said that. To make things worse, he said "this is how it is, there's still people ahead of you so yeah". The point of an appointment system is to allow customers to return to whatever else they have planned for the day. In the end, I spent over an hour. I was irritated so I wasn't on my nicest behavior and cut the NP off as she was trying to explain self swab instructions (I work in healthcare and I was extremely late for work at that point), and I'm sorry about that. The results arrived in 48hrs through myChart but otherwise terrible experience. This CVS location should consider allocating one lane dedicated to swabbing and another lane for all other pharmacy services. read more

They marked my item as picked up. I tried to cancel it online because I wasnt able to pick it up. I called and was on hold for 40 minutes. I spoke with M.O. the store manager and he said my item was sitting there but that I would need to come in to return it even though they're the ones that marked it as picked up. I never came in with my ID or credit card or anything so I don't know how they could sell it like like and charge my card. When I called they refused to cancel the order despite having the item in their possession. Horrible customer service. Both the store manager and the assistant manager were so rude and unprofessional. I've honestly never had an experience like this, it just seems like a total scam. Charging customers $120+ and fulfilling orders that aren't picked up. And then refusing to cancel it once they get caught in their scam. read more

They close early:( They were mean people that closed an 1 hour earlier threw up weird hand gestures.

this pharmacy has messed up several prescriptions, the response was " if that's how the doctor ordered it " I asked if common sense is allowed his response was "I fill how the doctor orders it" . also sent my daughter to pick up rx because I could not go in d/t COVID. they sent her back with 2 prescriptions that have been archived and not filled for several months. I guess they are into making money , now the meds go in garbage and the tech had no problem telling me "oh well" will switch to another pharmacy which is disappointing since I've been using them for as long as they have been here. This is for the CVS on Treat/Clayton in concord. read more

It's a cvs ya know? So there's not much going on here. They have everything you need and the pharmacy gets busy, which is totally normal. They do their best to let everyone know that they'll get to them when they can and they do. I've never had to wait too long for whatever i needed so I can't complain. The staff at the front always greet you no matter who you are so that's really nice and appreciative read more

Exactly what's needed, every time. The store is clean, the inventory is organized, the aisles are wide and the clerks are friendly and helpful. The parking lot has plenty of spaces, they're located just a block from Safeway, and the coupon deals continue to be the best. Will return again and again !!! read more

Did you know that there are also CVS stuff in a Target? But I'll talk about that in a Target review. Pretty okay? location right here. Served many purposes for me especially always having tissues in stock, but that's all that's really "okay" about it. I'm not a fan of the long lines and the seemingly understaffed ways this store is? It wasn't clean. NO CLEANLINESS AT ALL. The shelves were in a disarray and just please fix this. Easy to get to, loads of parking, a bit of a so-so feeling of security at night. It's alright. If anything, I'll stick to CVS' elsewhere. 2/5 read more

My experience was terrible! The staff was extremely unprofessional and disrespectful ( Joanna and Tanna). Joanna tried to apologize after being rude but what was said was already said. Also screamed "F you guys"as my wife and I were walking out. Will not be back. Hire better qualified staff, not just trash you find on the street because you're desperate for help. read more

Despite the fact that it's illegal and an ADA violation, this pharmacy is refusing to fill my medication because it's a chewable medication and has to be specially ordered. I have a dysphasia disease, and don't have the ability to swallow the non-chewable version. I guess it's too much work to have to order the medications that physicians have prescribed to their patients? They didn't even inform me, or inform my doctor. The tech said that the pharmacist called me, but I don't have a voicemail or missed call, and they couldn't give me a time or date of when they "contacted me." I tried checking on my medication 3-4 days ago and was informed that it was in process and would be in later in the week, and when I tried to check again today-because I'm now completely out and NEED my medication, they first lied to me and said that the medication was not being made as a chewable as high as my dosage (it is, and is also available at two higher doses as well, I confirmed on the manufacturer website) before the tech admitted that they just won't be ordering it for me each time. So it wasn't about my dosage being too high, it was sheer laziness and lack of patient care- and again, it is illegal. This location is the only location my insurance will cover so apparently I'm just not allowed to have my medication? This is completely unacceptable. They are impacting the safety of patients. California Business and Professions Code 733: A licentiate shall not obstruct a patient in obtaining a prescription drug or device that has been legally prescribed or ordered for that patient. A violation of this section constitutes unprofessional conduct by the licentiate and shall subject the licentiate to disciplinary or administrative action by his or her licensing agency. A complaint has been filed with corporate and I'll be filing with the ADA next. You don't get to abuse disabled people and impede their access to care, it's unsafe and unethical. read more

The CDC and FDA rules say immunocompromised individuals do not need a prescription or doctor letter to receive a booster dose. This is to avoid issues with people needing to make a separate doctor appointment. Unfortunately, this CVS is still requiring a prescription. Can they? I do not know, but the public needs to be aware that they may be refused a vaccination at this location. Ironically, if I had lied, and said I had never been vaccinated, which I did not do, I would have received the shot. read more

I'm done with CVS. I've been in here a few times recently. My daughter and I went here and we were falsely accused of stealing. After that negative experience, I still went back to have some film developed from a disposable camera. We went back to ask if our film had been developed, since we never received a call about it like we were supposed to. They asked us for the tracking number on it, which we gave them, and they told us they have no record of it anywhere and they don't have it. I was given no refund for the disposable camera that I bought either. Their prices are high and they only have one employee at the checkout. I won't be back. read more

Remember in the movie Natural Born Killers where Mickey and Mallory go to the Drug Zone to look for "Snake Bite Juice." Remember how the lighting was all weird inside and everything was all perfectly on the shelves. This place kind of reminded me of that. Since scary Kmart didn't have my makeup I stopped here because it was on the same street and on my way home. There must be a contract for makeup carriers because all of the expensive stuff was up front but Covergirl was waaaaaay in the back. They were also out of my regular pressed face powder but at least they had something comparable that I could get. This store is just weird. The customers are not as scary or skanky as Kmart or Walmart but still. Icky. My husband also told me that when CVS used to be Longs Drug they had really good prices on beer. Since CVS has taken over, the beer prices have sky rocketed. The makeup wasn't to cheap either. For those of you who have never seen Natural Born Killers here is a less than 10 minute video of the exact scene I'm talking about. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aD13VuHzVl8 read more

CVS Pharmacy - Drugstores Near Me - Concord, California

1. Three times we've had issues with a manager at this store with returns, incorrect charges, and sale items. 2. Used my ATM card here today and then had 5 fraudulent charges to Redbox shortly thereafter. Luckily Chase caught the charges and called me. This is the most ghetto CVS I've ever been to. Always in disorder and slow service. I'm sure it's due to the location, but CVS hasn't done much to improve the situation. It's convenient, because it's close to BART and an easy stop on the way home, but I'll be taking the extra time to drive to the Treat store to avoid the nastiness of this one in the future. read more
