Layout and pricing are similar to like CVS Pharmacy businesses. Convenient location to where I was in Citrus Heights/Orangevale. Stocked up on what I needed. Decent customer service. read more

CVS Pharmacy - Supplies - Drugstores Near Me - Fair Oaks, California

I'll start by acknowledging that things can get busy. I understand having to wait in line a bit. I don't understand having to wait an hour in the drive thru, FINALLY getting up to the window, the employee spending 30 seconds to find my prescription, and then 10 minutes grabbing it. "Just 1 in the fridge for you". Okay, cool, so you know where it is, what it is, and who its for. It should not take 10 minutes to hand it out through the drive thru. Maybe if he was the only one working! But I counted 4 other people behind the counter, none of whom even looked up at me. And they weren't even considerate enough to apologize for the delay, or thank anyone for their patience, or give any sort of reasoning. A pharmacy that does not understand the potential urgency behind getting patients their meds should absolutely not be in business, and I hope that doctors and patients everywhere see this and make it clear to everyone around them NOT to use the CVS on Greenback and Fair Oaks. read more

This is the WORST PHARMACY I have ever used. I (for some reason) have come here for multiple years and they have NEVER gotten my prescription correct. I always have to bug my doctor to call them and repeatedly send in prescriptions. Stay Away! Better yet, close. read more

Terrible all the way around. Your doctors office will send the prescription, and then you hear nothing from the pharmacy. I had it where they sent my prescription TWICE and both times I called and came inside and they said nothing was there. Only to find out it's been there for several days (which a tech later told me once I came in the third time). Same thing happened with my wife who found out two weeks later from one of the CVS techs that her prescription was there for two weeks! We'd come by in person, call, all of it was useless. Kept having to go back to the doctor and them reassuring us they sent it. So frustrating, especially when you have time sensitive medication. read more

My doctor called in to CVS a prescription for a five day supply of a medication that I had run out. So when I got there they said my insurance won't pay because it was refilled just that day thru mail order. To make a long story shorter - CVS wanted to charge $54, so I had prescription called in to Walgreens and they charged me $14. You do the math!! read more

I called the pharmacy to see what my Dr. ordered and have them delivered. I asked the AI for a pharmacist. I do not know who answered the phone, She was rude and not informed. I told her I wanted two prescriptions delivered and a couple of tubes of gel for pain, she said I had to get a prescription. I told her it is no longer a prescription. How much is it and put 2 tubes in with my medication delivery and give me a total, she got frustrated and hung up on me 7/1/2026 about 10.20 a.m. I am unable to drive of leave my home to go to CVS. So It looks like I am not even going to get my prescriptions I've noticed lots of bad review for CVS on Greenback . read more

8101 GREENBACK LN., FAIR OAKS, CA 95628 is a horrible store with the most horrible customer service. My advice, stay away. Too many items locked up, 1 person on the floor. Waited 10+ minutes, pressing the button for help and nobody came. Manager Heather is called, but instead of those needing help goes to assist at the front. Heather and employee Sam said and I quote, "We can only do what corporate lets us do." I walked out, you lost a sale and you lost a customer of over 26 years. Never going back! read more

This pharmacy is the absolute worst. I waited over 20 minutes in line for sudafed only to be continually cut off from people being sent over from the Check in counter. Do yourself a favor and go anywhere else. read more

I have been going here for many years. Employees are kind and helpful. The pharmacy has never got a prescription wrong, even when they had to take on the Rite Aid customers. Drive thru is quick as well. read more

Gave them 1 star since Yelp doesn't have less. This CVS pharmacy sucks, they constantly miss fill prescriptions by using an old scripts,tell you prescriptions are ready when they aren't. My scripts were transferred when the RiteAid on sunrise closed, what a miserable experience this has been. Time to make arrangements to move everything again. Not the last CVS will hear from me on this BS. read more

Covid-19 testing site: Fast and easy Aghh! One of our co-workers tested positive for COVID over the weekend! Some protocols had to be set in place at my work building the Monday we returned to work. Even though it has been over four months since I had my second vaccine I wanted to make sure and still get tested (precaution measure). CVS provides vaccine and testing services so I went on their website to see when I can schedule an appointment for Rapid-result testing. After answering a few questions the website then directed me to choose a location, date and time. I couldn't get a same-day appointment and the next available slot was in 6 days so I took it. Testing day: My appointment was at 4:30p but they called me early in the day and asked if I wanted to come in sooner. I immediately took the offer. I arrived a little earlier than the given new time and knocked on the Patient Entrance side of the kiosk. Do not go inside the CVS store. After providing reservation confirmation code and identification I was given a swab to proceed with the testing. The whole process took 3 mins, maybe even less. The nurse was pleasant and professional. This location was the closest test location from my home and is FREE with my insurance. I received my result by text within an hour. I was also given a link (good for five days) to print (pdf form). Wow! that was fast. NEGATIVE Review #2357 read more

CVS Pharmacy - 08.15.21 by appointment only - Drugstores Near Me - Fair Oaks, California

6 or 7 employees behind the Rx counter and a line of 10 customers waiting yet only one of the employees is working in the pick up prescription line. What is wrong with this picture happens every time we go there. They don't even look up to see that the line is out the door out of sight out of mind. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. I was trying to pick up my medications at the pharmacy which closed at 9pm but I was turned away even though I arrived at 8:45pm. There was still 15 minutes and they would've easily just grabbed my medication. But no. The worker decided to be lazy asf. 0 out of 5 stars for this location, the workers and the customer service. And I read other reviews, seems like the pharmacy workers are rude disrespectful and lazy. DO BETTER CVS! this is so frustrating and disgusting to have to deal with this kind of customer service behavior when people need their medications. y'all suck read more

What can I say about CVS, they have some amazing deals they send through the mail all the time and if you're a member you can take advantage of their in store deals as well! I really enjoy shopping here and on Tuesday was no exception, you know you're a Hello Kitty fan when your decked out literally from head-to-toe! Well I was almost out of pull-ups and found Hello Kitty ones in her size on sale for 2 for $20...they were just too cute to pass up and not to mention an incredible savings! They're working great for her, she loves them! I also purchased her some cough medicine from a brand favorite, Zarbees for ages 1-12, since it's natural and #1 Pediatrician recommended! She has had a cough since the weekend and this product is working great to soothe her throat! I would highly recommend this location and I will continue to come back, thank you to the sweet and helpful staff for helping me with my items and getting me in and out quickly to help my little one!! read more

My daughter has severe breathing problems and starts coughing and that decreases her ability to breathe. She is prescribed Albuterol. There are 2 types, one in a container that has a blue handle (stronger one) and one with a white handle (weaker) . Her doctor prescribes the one with the blue handle. Today, she could not find the one with the blue handle. And she always tells the pharmacist to only give here the blue handle one, She ordered it over the phone and the "Doctor Pharmacist" refused to give it to me as she said we picked it up 2 days ago. I told her that we could not find the blue one in the bathroom, only the white handled one. She still refused me and started to argue with me. would not give me the correct one, still insisted that I was given the blue one 2 days ago. She would not believe me. Thought I was a liar. My daughter is on Medi-Cal, and I was forced to pay her the full price in order to receive it. I assumed that now I am coming home with the correct blue one. Nope. Again, it was the white (incorrect) one!!!!!. My daughter called them back and I turned around, drove another round trip to CVS. This time I was so nervous, disgusted, and scared, I started crying, they had another pharmacist help me, the one who refused me service had gone to another section of the store. This lady credited my credit card, and Before I received the inhaler, I asked her to open the box and let me see it. This time it was correct, I thanked her, and left the store, I was shaking so badly, I stayed in the slow lane as I did not want to get into an accident. We have been going there for almost 5 years now and was never treated there like I was today. I am 77 years old and was never treated like this at a public business in my life. read more

I can't think of much that ever goes right at this pharmacy. Besides perfunctory service which I could get over, I would honestly just like to get my prescriptions... at all. But they are notoriously late or out of stock. I'm pretty sure their tactic is to wait until after you've stood in a 15 person line to claim it will be "30 more minutes" and then they actually start preparing your order. Maybe it's a tactic to get you to kill time and shop the store. I dunno... but my prescriptions have never been ready on time. They also run out of product making me wait even longer, often many days missing my dosage. This last time I've had it and asked them to transfer my prescriptions to a pharmacy that knows what they're doing. They said I could request a transfer at the drop off window. Well surprise...surprise, nobody ever showed up at the window. So I left and I will just have my doctor call it in elsewhere. I've been tortured for a year and a half at this pharmacy.... i'm tapping out now. read more

I wrote a review several years ago and have to again I stopped going because of issues before and returned as they are close to my home and I had new prescriptions(this was a mistake). For two weeks this pharmacy calls me telling me things are ready only for them not to be . Telling me they ordered out of stock prescription when they didn't . I can't believe they can operate like this and gamble on people's health. They have completely messed up my routine for my thyroid my diabetes etc. I have had so much stress over this. They don't apologize or take accountability they blame eachother. The staff is so incompetent I've never had such bad service and will have to no longer go here. Suze as well as the rest of the pharmacy staff should be ashamed of the way they treat people and how they have made people's conditions worse due to lack of treatment and care for their patients. read more

I was refused the sale of insulin syringes because I didn't have a prescription. Was told it's their store policy. Their policy creates a hazard for our community. It also was a waste of my time to wait in line and then be treated like I was a criminal or a drug addict. There's no laws preventing the sale of syringes in California and if I was a drug addict I could get them for free. I went to Walgreens and made my purchase. I won't frequent cvs anymore. I can also order my insulin syringes online without a prescription or any issue. Good bye CVS read more

I visited this location a couple of months ago and felt compelled to share my experience now. I want to clarify that I typically avoid bringing race into discussions, but I believe it played a role in this incident. I was unwell that week, suffering from bronchitis and sinusitis, and went to CVS to pick up a prescription--not from the portable or drive thru. When it was my turn in line, an older gentleman, likely in his late 60s to mid-70s, called me up. From the outset, he scrutinized me, and I was aware that I did not look my best due to my illness; I was in lounge wear, without makeup, and my hair was in a messy ponytail. I believe he judged me harshly based on my appearance and skin color (I am Mexican). After I provided my name, birthday, and the prescription from my doctor, I handed him my insurance card, which belongs to my mother. He immediately began questioning the legitimacy of my insurance, treating me as if I was doing something wrong. Before I presented my card, he assumed I had no insurance based on his disdainful expression, stating, "It's going to be $100" in a condescending tone. While I cannot recall the exact amount, it was over $50 without insurance. After a lengthy interrogation and disapproving looks, he informed me I would need to "wait" 15 minutes for my prescription, despite having already paid, without any explanation. I initially complied and waited, but eventually felt this treatment was inappropriate. I approached a female staff member for assistance, but she did not engage with me either I was over it. All I wanted was my medication what is this tsa ??? read more

3 days these a-holes have not filled my painkiller because my Dr decided that after 7 years of the same dose that I should take 1 more pull a day. These dbags know more than my pain management Dr about my pain management. I am going to transfer all of my prescriptions to a competent pharmacy. read more

I went to the CVS to pick up some hair conditioner and some other items. I had some extra bucks rewards. I bought a conditioner an eyeliner and some freeze dried fruit for my bunny. I used my rewards and my extra care and paid $2! I am so happy to save when I can. I love this CVS. there is a huge selection of makeup, makeup tools, nail polish, laundry detergent, pet supplies, snacks, drinks and pantry staples. They have a lot of blushes which I love. Sometimes it's hard to find the right shade of blush but not here. I can always find the right shade. Heidi was the associate that helped me check out. she was friendly and helpful. she checked me out fast. I always mention this, time is money so I appreciate her speed. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because there were a couple of aisles being restocked so they were blocked. I will always go to this CVS even though there is another one close to me. Thank you CVS! keep up the good work! read more

I came in this morning, after I was notified that I had two prescriptions that were ready to be picked up. I checked the app, and it showed that the pharmacy was open... It was 9 AM at the time. I went in and had no line in front of me. I pick up my prescriptions within about two minutes. As always the pharmacy staff was pleasant, and helpful. Unfortunately, while I was waiting, I noticed that the rug was filthy yet again. Every time I go into the store it looks as though they just don't care to vacuum. There was a used sucker stick laying on the carpet, and some general debris and trash. It really brings down the customer perception of this location. read more

I recently had to pickup a prescription. My doctor didn't call it in until late so when I got to CVS, it was about three minutes till closing. When I reached the window, there was at least one minute till closing. They hadn't shut the screen and a clerk was standing in front of the register. I was in severe pain and having a hard time walking, and the clerk said we're closed and I told him my doctor had to call it in late because she hadn't gotten all of the results back from my test You could tell I was obviously sick and he said sorry we're closed and I said I need this tonight. I said I'm in severe pain and he said sorry and that was all there was to it. I didn't get my prescription had to go through another night of severe pain. I can't believe the place would be so inhumane to let somebody go through the pain they were going through. He hadn't even closed his register yet I will not be going back to the store I will do mail order now in the future. No one has ever been overly friendly there. It just makes you feel like a number.. read more

seriously... SUCH A KIND pharmacy! I went through the drive through and especially being stressed with a sick kid.. they went ABOVE and beyond. it's sometimes really just the "little things" and a happy face. my receipt says helped by jack. idk the womans name though. i never leave reviews but felt I should. read more

I wish my medical plan didn't have such a ridiculous clause that forced me to only use CVS as my pharmacy. Bizarre, but true. The pharmacy staff here is hit or miss, but lately I have been striking out with the B team. Prescriptions are NEVER filled within the quoted timeframe. It's beyond annoying. I can't wrap my head around how it takes someone 6 hours to put 30 pills in a bottle and print a label. And now I stand here staring at the pharmacy techs chit chatting and walking around aimlessly, appearing to be doing anything but filling prescriptions. Time to test my luck and switch to another location. read more

This is the CVS nearest where I live so this is the one I've always gone to. I've decided to review today because Wayne is incredible. Covid is making everyone crazy anxious and some people were showing that today, plus they are training newbies which kind of slowed things down as training tends to do. Wayne kept his cool and kept his humor. He helped me get some photos printed off that I had to mail off *today* in order to get them to their recipient on tine. I was a bit frazzled because for some reason my pics weren't being sent to the queue. He helped me figure it all out. He deserves every single star because he's awesome. Thank you so much Wayne! read more

Literally the worst these racist workers started helping a customer BEHIND me and didn't even acknowledge my existence i had to use self checkout just to get my items. Fire whoever that guy is working the register on 2/17/22 this is ridiculous and totally felt disrespected. NEVER WILL COME HERE AGAIN! read more

The pharmacy here was staffed with over 4 people and they had one customer waiting for an order. The checkout line was attended by a very senior lady with 3 people waiting. The checkout girl was very slow and trying to interest everyone in other coupons. NO ONE AVAILABLE IN PHOTO OR EVEN EXPRESSED INTEREST IN HELPING. THESE GUYS MAKE WALGREENS LOOK GOOD. read more

I usually really like this CVS but unfortunately they seem to have a new manager (Ms Schabnan) who seems very incompetent and rude. Maybe because of her young age she might not yet know how to deal with customers complaints and when to ballance certain decision with reason. Since this is the only cvs close to where I live so I'm sad that I have to cancel my care pass and will have to go to Walgreen's or rite aid from now on :( read more

No wonder this CVS is so low rated. The staff are horrible & need to be trained on customer service. This CVS is trash and so are the employees. :) The guy at the register dark hair kind of rugged hair was not polite at all, extremely rude & made sarcastic comments. First he got mad that I asked for him to grab a scanner from the back because I needed to pick up an online order, he proceeds to give me attitude and angrily walk to the back. He then made comment to his manager or whoever that it would've been easier for me to come in and buy the products instead of doing the pick up order like I'm sorry you made it more difficult for the both of us it shouldn't of been this hard. Like if you hate your job just say that. Extremely dissatisfied & was very irritated at the situation. Also, I used to work for an online order store and it's not rocket science to use the scanner. Lol. It takes a few seconds but nah all I got was attitude & bad breath. read more

Great service from Heidi, and easy to get scheduled for a COVID vaccine at. Also, quick and easy to get other innoculations from!

I like the drive thru pharmacy. Nothing special about this place but they are helping vax a lot of people and scheduling Covid testing is pretty easy. read more

Ok other than 2 employees at this location care. Everyone else there doesn't care. Why have I shopped here for so long. I'm done I sent a message to my doctor to have my prescriptions moved to Walmart grocery pharmacy. When I check with good rx CVS wanted 145.00 for a non narcotic prescription. But with good rx card it was 28,95 Walmart was ok 9.00 regular price. doesn't have to take a rocket scientist or someone even with a medical degree to understand that shopping at CVS with most of the employees that really don't care about you or your health would overcharge that much. goodbye CVS hello Walmart read more

If you ever want to wait in line for 25 minutes waiting to purchase 1 item all while there's only 3 people in line ahead of you.... this is the place! If the employees cared as much about getting customers through the line and out the door as they did chatting you up about pointless nonsense the lines would go much faster. Horrible location, employees try using overkill on courtesy to make up for the lack of knowledge on the products sold there. Done..I'll Never again visit this location because my feet try to root into the ground from standing in line so much! read more

This CVS location is the absolute worst pharmacy. I've filled my prescriptions at many pharmacies in many states across the country and never have i been ao utterly disappointed. In every way possible, the pharmacists create unnecessary issues for their customers. I've witnessed countless others walk away or drive away from the drive up window cursing over the poor experience. I hate to say this, but this pharmacy is extremely consistent- they have never once failed to have my medicine ready at the time they provide over the telephone. I despise calling them beforehand, but unfortunately they leave their prey few other options...because if you show up without calling you will undoubtedly be sent away after being given an incorrect time to return. Usually I am understanding as pharmacies are busy places and understaffed but often I am the only person their waiting for hours on end for my inhaler to be dispensed. I hope this pharmacy goes away forever. read more

I ended up setting up an appointment for a COVID test. It was such an easy process, once you book an appointment, you just go thorugh the drive-tru, and they provide you with all the information you need and the testing kits--very friendly and easy process. read more

These people are the worst at customer service of any place I have ever experienced. There is a reason they have only two stars. Clearly, other people have had the same terrible experience with this particular CVS. Incidentally, this is the fourth time they've screwed up on a simple prescription for my dog! read more

Tried to contact pharmacy via telephone. On hold for 19 minutes. Then it hung up. (Happened 3 time.) When they answered on 4th try, the lady informed me prescription (placed a week ago) won't be available for 2 more days. Told her that I was out of the medication. She just said we don't have it in stock "Sorry" Then Hung up. Maybe I should change this to ONE Star. Should've gone to COSTCO. read more

This CVS is pretty good. They manage to stay nice even when customers get upset. Their pharmacy is always busy. But this is the pharmacy I prefer. If you're patient they are patient and the pharmacy technicians help you to the best of their abilities. They have a like doctor clinic option too but if you don't have insurance it's like $200 per appointment plus whatever they need to do such as a strep throat swab which is $50 ish. So that's $200+$50 for the "doctor clinic" but it's an option. The lights buzz and sometimes there's stuff on the ground by the pharmacy but it's a busy cvs, so I expect it. Also they have a drive up pharmacy window read more

CVS Pharmacy - Waiting at the pharmacy - Drugstores Near Me - Fair Oaks, California

I would give 0 stars if could. Let me start by saying that I work for my mother who is bedridden. She needed antibiotics and an inhaler, and another pharmacy sent us here. We got there around 11AM for CVS to do a transfer request to the other pharmacy that does not accept our insurance. They said the meds would be ready and the transfer through in 15 min, I did not have time as I needed to go to my second shift so I said could I come back at 6. Pharmacist confidently said they would be ready with no issue. Well, I get back to find that CVS has no medicine and I call the other pharmacy and they have no record of a transfer. They are willing to do phone verify, and so I go to CVS once again only to speak with a pharmacist who is not willing to even make eye contact and brush me off like nothing. I have to ask for them to tell me how long everything will be as they clearly have 0 customer service skills. She says perhaps an hour. Not engaging with any of my questions or acknowledging my presence at all. OK, hour passes and I come back and they say they CANNOT ACCEPT me as the insurance does not cover her (she literally saw the doctor that referred us here 1 hour before with the same insurance) or the number doesn't match. My other pharmacy clearly said they could. Nothing makes sense, my mom is bedridden, and I need to get her medicine. Well, later on my mom calls to find that they made a mistake and they are able to give her antibiotics. SERIOUSLY? I've never been so frustrated in my life. THE ONLY competent worker here was the woman who made the call to the other pharmacy. Otherwise, I would absolutely give 0 stars for lack of customer service, competency, and overall error. Avoid this place like the plague. read more
