I am 65 and have never had an issue with the CVS in Target in Fort Collins on Council Tree. My prescriptions are filled promptly and refilled automatically as needed. If there is a line at the pharmacy, I go grocery shopping and come back. The pharmacy is located near the front of the store.
I don't really want to give a 5 star rating because more people might go to this CVS!
I must give a 5 star rating, because, besides great service, the CVS pharmacist saved my life. In 2022, I started to feel bad and went to a doctor in Windsor. I'd go every few months because I kept getting worse. The doctor would prescribe additional medications, but none helped. I was picking up prescriptions number 10 through 12 from CVS when the pharmacist came out and told me if I took everything that was prescribed I would probably die.
She recommended I see a new doctor and go through all the medications before taking any of the new ones. So, I took her advice and got a new doctor. He took me down to 4 prescriptions. I never took medications 10 through 12. After getting off 6 mediations, I felt much better! However, I was still sick.
In late May of 2024, I went to the emergency room because I was having tunnel vision. I could only see a small circle, everything on the edges of my vision was black. The emergency room doctor said I was having Atrial Fibrillation (Afib). The top part of my heart was beating too rapidly and was not in synch with the bottom of my heart so not enough blood was getting to my brain causing the tunnel vision. I was admitted to the hospital.
During an angiogram, it was found I had blockage in three arteries. I had triple bypass for the clogged arteries and a maze procedure to prevent future Afib.
The medicines prescribed could not have fixed my clogged arteries. I didn't have any of the usual symptoms associated with a heart attack from 2022 through 2024. I was having what are called silent heart attacks. The description of a silent heart attack is consistent with what I reported to my first doctor.
After the surgery and several months of rehab, I feel 15 years younger. I can even run again! read more
