It's a toss up between kind employees and tons of cops cars outside because of criminal activity. Yeah! don't be surprised if a police officer is on site every time you come here. There is always someone outside trying to get you to purchase a candy bar for their school sports team, or a starving family holding a sign and begging for your last dime. The employees inside tend to be kind and helpful. The Pharmacy is under staffed and they told me to come back in an hour to retrieve my prescription only to tell me when I got there it would be another hour! I told them to call me next time and they did which was helpful. An automated recording told me it was ready. The drive through pharmacy is convenient but usually takes at least 10 mins. read more

If I could give ZERO star, this CVS got ZERO star. Mean staffs & cashier, this CVS lost my business. I never return to this CVS since the last time I encountered a very rude lady named Lily, it says "shift supervisor" on her name tag and PLEASE IF CVS EVER EVER READ THIS REVIEW, YOU COULD GO A HEAD AND FIRE HER CAUSE SHE MIGHT COST YOU SO MANY MANY CUSTOMERS !!!! This CVS is 2 mins away from my house but I decided to do my business in other CVS instead. She yelled at customers, gave attitude and stole my extra bucks reward. It happened like 2 weeks ago but every time I think about it, all I want to do is go on yelp and write a review. CUSTOMERS BE WARE !!!! She's the worst, other staffs are mean as well. They think they own the place and treat customers like SH*T. read more

The pharmacy service is ridiculous. I went to get my Pain meds and I was told to come back in an hour. Which I thought was a little long but when I came back in an Hour the lady in the front asked for my name and said She had nothing for me. She said it with an attitude like I made a mistake. Only after I told her I left the prescription With her did she go check again. 5 min later a Guy with spikey hair comes up and says there Was a problem with my perscription and to be back in an additional 30 min. All with an attitude. When I return in 50 minutes its Still not ready, and when I look. In the window I can tell they Were just barely then filling my prescription. Throughout the entire process not once did they acknowledge The fact that they made a mistake or once apologized. STay AWAY FROM THIS CVS PHARMACY!!! GO TO WALGREENS read more

No stars. This place is just plaine terrible. Always a long wait. My RX is NEVER ready. Why bother having an automated refill system if the refill isn't going to be ready? Why do they have only one person working both the drive thru and the pick up counter inside? I just don't get... I'm going to Walgreens now... read more

Unfortunately, I feel compelled to give this particular CVS an unsatisfactory review primarily because of poor customer service. For example, I have been on hold via telephone for 45 minutes. Additionally, on numerous occasions when my doctor has faxed over a prescription or refill, the fax was not received in a timely manner nor the request met. Also, the lines within the store or by use of the drive thru are incredibly long at all times. Plus, the site is clearly understaffed leading to pharmacy workers who are impatient, tired and unable to perform their duties and leaving customers frustrated and dissatisfied. In the end, I changed pharmacy location and am much more satisfied. It is truly sad that this location is so poorly managed and that customer satisfaction is not a priority. read more

Worst Pharmacy Ever. They mess up with your prescription and let you wait forever. I ended up waiting for an hour and not getting anything. They do not help you. Especially, the girl name Cynthia had the worst attitude. She would not apologize for her mistake or for her very rude attitude, but disappear while you are talking. read more

Worst service waited more than 30 mints Chyncia was very unpleasant One of my medicine was hold for no reason And they told me to wait again unbelievable read more

Bathrooms "closed"? Came in to grab a couple items. Needed to use the bathroom first, and the employee said their bathrooms are closed and it was 8pm on a Sunday. I'll take my shopping elsewhere where bathrooms are open to the public. read more

I prefer CVS over other drug stores because of its self-check out. Yeah! I love checking myself out all the time! I like to get in and get out fast. read more

Wow!!! Worst pharmacy ever, I can never have medication on time. They promise they will have it the following month for u so u are not without ur meds. Nope!!! Every month same thing. Then they will argue with you like NANCY there. She doesn't listen to customers she yells over u to shut u up and trying to just get u off the phone. Very slow service. Maybe 1 or 2 woman there are doing a great job. The other women there are mad and dragging face because they have to be there. Please give them customer service class and act like u enjoy ur job. Just a lil Respect goes along way when dealing with customers who are dealing with just trying to continue living due to illness & disease that we never asked for. read more

Very busy pharmacy. Sometimes a long wait line, but I never see much of a line up in the drive thru. Pharmacists are pretty quick considering how many patients they serve. Pharmacy techs are very friendly and helpful, they do their best to keep up. The front of store service is friendly and efficient also. read more

I like their travel section & that they have self check outs Staff is helpful too Parking lot is pretty big They need better price deals & more quantity in items read more

Called to try to get a emergency refill and was placed on hold for 45 minutes and never came back to the phone. Called again and no answer at all. You should really re-evalute your staff and put your customers first or close your pharmacy at this location. read more

BELOW AVERAGE EXPECTATIONS FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE- FAIL! WAIT TIME It took 1 week and 3 phone calls from me to get my medication. Brian, the laid back and lazy Supervisor took 4 days to return my call. He did not offer a gift card for my inconvenience or alternative way to compensate me for this problem. Then he repeated a phrase I heard him say in 2010, "umm yeah. We've had problems with this pharmacy." Brian it's time to see RESULTS. CORRECTIVE ACTION is overdue. ACCURACY/PRODUCTIVITY The pharmacist or pharm tech Ms. Bo actually requested verification of my prescription from the WRONG DOCTOR. She neglected to read the prescription which clearly had the name of my new doctor preprinted on the pad. PERSONALITY- RIGID, COLD, AND UNPERSONABLE. Very few staff are warm and friendly. Then actually give the customers attitude and project problems from one customer onto a new customer. Why? PHONE ETTIQUTE- They answer the phone and immediately put you on hold without listening to your voice. They need to listen the customer. I had to call back and demand that Ms. Bo verify the name of the physician she faxed information to. She apologized but forgot to call me like she promised when the prescription was ready. Time to complain at a higher and more effective level. read more

So i go to use the mens room. I understand having to lock it. I dont understand why i needed to hit the button to call some one to open it three tines!!!! The filth of the room was unexcusable. I had to clean the seat of urine and feaces just to use it. The floor was despicable. The urinal was covered as to say it was out of order. The cleaning log was only filled out in the pm hours and not at all in sunday. Even when i worked in prt stores i had better control on bath rooms. Wake up cvs. Your store is broken read more

I can't stand this CVS Pharmacy. Every time I need to refill my birth control, they feel the need to call me to confirm my chosen brand is what I want. Uh duh?? That's what I've always been getting and have specified to my doctor to prescribe me. I want that specific one, no other brand or generic you want to fill it with just because you don't have my brand in stock. I've been through it multiple times. I don't care if you need to order it, just provide me with exactly what I want and have always had. Also the Black woman at the drive thru was unbelievably rude and unhelpful. She needs to major attitude adjustment. It's a full service drive thru, don't tell me to go inside to wait in another line just because there's cars behind me. They can wait just like I did and frankly that's not my problem. Avoid this place at all costs read more

This pharmacy fills my Gifford's scripts but never fills mines...they told me they are out of stock but I'm starting not to believe them at all. I don't wanna use the race card but ‍what else could it be sorry to say bc my girl is Italian read more

Ordered a 5x7 same day photo. I receive an email confirmation that my order is complete at 7 pm. Stop by at 1 am and my photo isn't ready - it's not in a photo envelope, nor has it been cut to 5×7 (there's a 2 inch white border all around the photo!). It's also just sitting on the counter for the world to see. When I told the cashier that the photo isnt the right size, he tells me that's what I ordered, but he had no idea bc he didnt even see my order details. Never had this happen with photos in my life! 20+ yrs! Terrible photo service here - have to go home and cut my photo to the dimensions I ordered. Never coming back here again. read more

I don't know who is training these people but it's AWFUL here. I've been waiting over a week to pick up a medication they have in stock because the pharmacist had an attitude and never imputed it. He questioned me about my mental health prescription, asked extremely judgmental questions and was rude to me. He told me to "talk to my psychologist" and refused the prescribed medication she had sent in. Insane. read more

If I could give this pharmacy a negative star I would. My prescription was called in yet they still made me go back in line for drop off. I'm visibly very sick, yet this didn't do anything to actually quickly help. I get told by the individual at the drop off counter that it would be ready in 15 min and will be called. 30 MINUTES LATER, I get back in line for the pick up and voila - my prescription WAS SITTING IN THE BACK. All I was told with a very basic "oh sorry." HORRIFIC SERVICE !!!! read more

asian boy who answered the phone. i told him i received a phone call informing me i was due for a refill... he's going to argue that he has no record of a phone call going out to me.. i assured him i did and he's just adamant that i "in fact" didn't... well that's the pharmacy phone # labeled incoming call and time stamped for today(first photo). So tip to you, it's not about being right it's about being helpful. (second photo is me calling back and experiencing his terrible service and just ultimately becoming pissed off) Thank you CVS for insuring you employ the upmost and most outstanding of employees who love and are compassionate about their jobs and patients/customers.... that's sarcasm CVS... your employees, a majority, are awful. read more

CVS Pharmacy - Drugstores Near Me - Gardena, California

See all

I placed a Curb Side order for pick up outside when I arrived in the parking lot I text here as instructed. After waiting for 10 minutes in the parking lot I decided to walk inside to pick up my curbside pick up. Nobody in the store knew what I was talking about. The manager was called as she slowly made her way to the front she asked me to repeat my order. Then took another seven minutes to find my order. Curbside pick up is a joke! read more

Great neighborhood store. The staff is friendly and helpful. They have unexpected merchandise that makes me happy. I Iike unsalted cashews! And CVS carries it. The beauty section is great fun! Nicole is the beauty products specialist who provides great advice, and great recommendations. I earn Extra Bucks with purchases that come in handy. Self check out is easy. I love this store. I find myself just stopping in, just because. read more

Zero star, if possible It was my first time here (and last) at the drive thru pharmacy. Dropped off prescription and was told that they are super busy so the wait would be about an hour ( I usually go to Walgreens pharmacy and have never waited more than 30 minutes EVER). I come back 4 hours later to the drive thru and the lady said it's not ready yet. She didn't SMILE or apologize, but instead repeated herself and told me to park right in front and she will wave at me when it is ready. Uhhhhhhhh WHAT THE F***? Ummmm...OKAY STUPID A**!!! I told her that they had told me 1 hour and its been 4 hours. I understand that they are super busy but 4hours, come on! SO RIDICULOUS CVS!!! I asked her how much longer is it going to take and she replied 10 minutes. So.... 10 minutes have gone by and still nothing! WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER! I then went back to the drive thru window and she just handed it to me without saying not ONE WORD! BAD SERVICE CVS! Don't waste your time coming here. Go to Walgreens instead. Walgreens has more friendly/happy people working at the pharmacy and will explain everything in detail to you. I've been to many Walgreens at different locations and have never had a bad experience. read more

I would have gave them a negative rating if I was able. I had knee surgery and CVS filled my prescription for pain meds. They gave me the incorrect prescription of 5/325 12 tablets, take 1 pill every 6 hours for pain.. What I was supposed to get was 10/325, take 1 to 2 tablets every 4 hours as needed for pain. I spent two days with unnecessary pain. I will never go to this CVS ever... read more

I just called and asked an employee do they sell spray paint and and the employee answered after a while and said "are you serious?"I can't believe this I have a job to do at a home at 6am smh I will never call this store again.Thanks for nothing sir! read more

Very very sloooww service.... multi billion dollar cvs needs to hire more "pharmacy" help..

I wish I could give them a big fat "0". Just had to wait 1 hr in the drive thru line only to be short changed by the clerk by the name of amin. Gave us the wrong change thru the glass and left. He would not come back to window after we banging on it or ringing the bell. We had to go inside the store to get the correct change. He couldn't even apologize for making the error. I'm glad this is my mother in laws stuff because I won't have to deal with it again. If it was my pharmacist, it would have been the last time I would get anything there. read more

Told me prescription would be ready in an hour I came hour and a half later and still not ready.Caused me to be late to my next destination. horrible experience read more

If I could give them zero, I would. Their pharmacy staff is SO RUDE! After waiting 20 minutes in line to drop off a prescription, was told there are out of stock-no offer to call another location to see if I could pick it up there, nothing. Complained to the store manager who couldn't care less. NEVER GOING BACK! read more

1 star for the ridiculous $3 service charge at the atm machine inside this CVS. Not even at bars do they charge that amount! ROBBERY!

This CVS has some of the worst customer service I've ever seen. I simply asked to use the restroom, and I was told to go wait by the door and push the button for customer service. It took 3 loudspeaker announcements and 15 MINUTES to finally get someone to listen to me and open the door. There was nothing that would have prompted that long a wait. I was one of 3 customers in there, and two employees were completely unoccupied, on their phones. As a result, I missed my bus due to an interaction that should have taken 30 seconds becoming well over 1000% longer than it should have. The cashiers seem bored and uninterested in doing their jobs, and took an additional several minutes to scan my items correctly. Avoid this place at all costs unless your patience is unreasonably high. read more

This place has the absolute worst pharmacy I've ever been to. My sister, my mom, my nephew and I have all been sick the past month and every time We have come there it has been the biggest ordeal and we have to return three even four times to get our prescriptions . "Oh we don't have it ready , oh we're out of that, oh there's no record of you, oh even though we sent a text message saying it's ready it's not, blah blah blah" . I am sick as a dog with tonsillitis right now and it's 9 pm and I've been trying to pick up my penicillin since 2 pm. Finally I had my sister go and low and behold ... they told her they didn't have it. But when I called after she left , they made a mistake and now they have it. So now I have to get in the car and drive after taking NyQuil so I can get my meds. This same situation happened last time I went, and it happened to my sister as we were there picking up prescriptions together. Tonight My sister went 3 times trying to pick up my nephews prescription today and she still doesn't have it. Somebody is not doing their job and I'm FURIOUS! Get it together!!! read more

The shinning point of this CVS is the Candy Isle, its worth the walk across the street 3-4 times a week when I need a sugar fix! :)
