I was hesitant to switch to this pharmacy when my pharmacy went out of business, but my experience with them has been excellent! They are efficient, communicative, and friendly. My only concern is their parking lot, which does not always feel safe. Otherwise, the pharmacy is great and the store is well stocked. read more

It's a seedier enclave of Hollywood - yet the busted security scanner and the yard of discarded diapers and indistinguishable detritus begs attention. read more

My receipt printed blank, I guess no ink in the printer, and the guys that work there could not be less interested in remedying the machine. I live for the printed coupons, (small pleasures), but these employees don't seem to care about extremely loyal customers. While I'm at it, the parking lot is filthy. It looks like a volcanic eruption of debris. Trash everywhere and when I once mentioned it to a manager, he said it wasn't CVS' responsibility. Huh? Whose lot is it, then? He didn't know. read more

Always a long line, inefficient and slow. Now they have a virtual assistant answering the phones and you can't even talk to a live person. This is why I transferred most of my prescriptions to a delivery service. read more

I have been buying from CVS for over 20 years. They recently answer phone call using a computer answering system. I needed to speak with a pharmacist and the machine whould not put me through. It asked me multiple questions like my B-day date, am I calling about prescriptions and so forth. After 10 minutes I got fed up and continuely asked for a representative. the machine said it would put me through but instead sent me to a message center and said leave a message and we will call you back. I can't believe this terrible system. I went to the location, picked up my script and told them it would be the last time I have my doctor send them an order. I am disgusted with the way their phone system works. it's obvious they could care less. So I recommend to everyone find a small pharmacy that will treat you with respect and actually speak to you on the phone. I am done with CVS read more

Let's start with prices. CVS prices are a scam. You go to the store to pick-up an item you found on their website for $4.99 and then get charged over $7 in-store. Why? Because they're frauds. That particular store will have you waiting for ages at the check-out because they don't schedule enough people. You can use the self-checkout but it almost always hangs and calls for an attendant - who is the slow check-out person and the only one scheduled. The parking lot is awkward and always dirty. They have many items behind locked glass panels, which you wouldn't have to do if your prices weren't so ridiculous. And I don't know what they're paying the employees; but, considering their lack of class and overly casual demeanor, I'd say 'not much.' Lastly, but not least, aren't we all deserved of a receipt that's not over two feet long? I bought one item this time and receipt was short - thank goodness - but last time I was there for a prescription, the receipt was 27 inches long. I hate CVS. It's the epitome of what's wrong with this country. read more

Sent a follow-up message regarding a medication. A pharmacist named Michelle called and was rude and unprofessional, stating that I needed to contact my doctor for follow-up. Isn't it her responsibility to reach out to my doctor? read more

I just experienced yet another instance of racial profiling at a CVS location in Los Angeles, and I feel compelled to speak up. I stopped by this CVS because I had a dentist appointment just down the street. I was early, a bit hungry, and wanted to browse around to pass the time. As I was walking through the store, texting on my phone and casually looking at a few items, a staff member -- either white or Hispanic -- approached me from behind and asked if I needed help. I replied that I was just browsing. I genuinely wasn't looking for anything specific, though I had a couple of items in mind I might purchase. Within seconds of that interaction, I heard him call for security over the radio. Because this isn't the first time I've experienced something like this, I knew exactly what was happening. I continued shopping calmly, still unsettled, and eventually went to check out with the two items I chose. As I stood in line, another call came over the intercom: "Security to the front." No one ever came, but the message was clear -- my presence and my browsing were perceived as suspicious. Let me be clear: window shopping is not a crime. Walking around a store and browsing without grabbing something immediately is not suspicious behavior. It's normal. And yet, as a Black woman in Los Angeles, I continue to be treated as if I'm doing something wrong just by existing in certain spaces. This isn't just about one store employee -- it's a pattern I've seen too many times at CVS. I'm deeply disappointed and frankly, exhausted by this experience. For now, I will be transferring my prescriptions elsewhere. I cannot continue to support a business that consistently makes people like me feel unwelcome or presumed guilty simply for shopping. Do better, CVS. read more

I can see why the ratings are low, yes it's dirty but it's not their fault, so much homeless in the area. I know a lot of items are locked up as well which can be stressing but again a lot of homeless. I can slowly see self check outs are the new thing at most places I miss the cashiers to be honest. I still go for certain things here. read more

The girls at the pharmacy are the best. Always smiling and are very helpful. The employees in the front are a bit rude. But at least the security in the front is nice. I wish the parking lot was a bit cleaner read more

Horribly pharmacy, staff is rude and sends back prescriptions even if dr prescribed. A hassle don't waste your time on this cvs I can guarantee you'll have some sort of issue read more

I know I've reviewed this CVS before but I'm going to do it again because I'm shocked there's only 2 stars!! I just have to commend and give gratitude to the pharmacy staff ... they are kind, patient and understanding ... Sura, Quinn, Sasha, Diana (Diana remembers my name EVERY time I come in) Alex, Naomi ... there are others that I don't know the names ... thank you for going above and beyond I appreciate you ... unfortunately I have to go to the pharmacy a lot at the moment and you all make it not a chore ... Oh and Norma up front is a gem as well!! Always kind ... My point is ... switch your pharmacy to this one!!! You will thank me later ... read more

I just had the worst experience at CVS on Vine. I wanted some toothpaste. I saw one behind a locked glass cabinet. A nice lady opened it for me. Then a bit later I found one - unlocked - that I preferred. I went to the counter to pay, and tried to give the man there the "behind the glass" toothpaste so it could be returned. He was extremely rude to me, wouldn't let me finish a sentence, and didn't help me check out!! The pharmacist was fie, but I will not shop at this store again! read more

This place is so awful, an employ opened the doors 10 minutes early before they open, so I walked in thinking it was ok... I walked around to look for something to clean up my sons wound on his toe and I hear this Latina worker say in a really nasty tone in Spanish... "why is there already costumers inside, we don't open till 7" "who opened the door and let them in" "one of them took my phone" ... then later she found it, she put it down somewhere like an idiot and forgot where so she assumed someone took it... she was talking really loudly thinking no one else knew Spanish besides them... anyways, very bad service, if you don't like working that early, no one is forcing you to... acting like karma doesn't come back around read more

Went there yesterday, during shopping I needed to go to restroom, so I went to front and asked Martha to buzz me in and she made me wait for several minutes for no reason and I almost pissed my pants. Door opens on pressing of a button but she was busy gossiping with spectators. And I saw this guy at other cashier being rude and talking loud to a customer! There is a clear reason why they have Two star rating. Their management team sucks big time and nobody is doing anything from corporate office! Please investigate these bad seeds and report and remove them asap!!! read more

CVS Pharmacy - Drugstores Near Me - Hollywood, California

Horrible service. Everything is behind glass and cs reps never come open the cases. They hide from customers.. Smh. The geberal manager needs to do a better job and hire people who arent their friends. read more

The employees here are rude. Never a hello or thank you. They just kinda point and grunt.

This unfortunately was my closest pharmacy. After reading the reviews, I should've known to not have any medication sent here. Me, in pain from my gallbladder and needing my medicine went against my better judgment and came here. Unfortunately, they were about to close and seemed more interested in quickly getting out, than helping a guest. My doctor sent over the medication twice to this location and for some reason they didn't receive it, but the pharmacy that's a little further away received it immediately? I will be reporting this pharmacy to the California board first thing tomorrow morning. Abhorrent behavior from the pharmacist Quyen and her staff. Should be ashamed. read more

This use to be my favorite CVS growing in Hollywood. My most recent visits to this location were nothing short of horrible. The staff is completely incompetent and rude. There's an obese Latino cashier who always has a miserable smirk on his face and could not be bothered to help anyone. They even stopped keeping a lot of items in stock as well. Avoid this place. RUN. read more

I go there a lot, the pharmacy is pretty efficient and fast, but every time I go I spend way too much money on all the things they carry, wish my cvs rewards card worked. It never does and turns into such a hassle I just don't bother anymore. But other than that it's a great store read more

This is an overdue review I've been coming to this location since 2008. I've actually known all the staff here for quite some time and actually one of them passed away not so long ago I can't remember their name very extremely welcoming though and actually broke my heart when I found out the bad news. All the staff is very attentive and welcoming. Be warned there's a lot of Karen's that come into the store yes I said it. Imagine that I am the customer experiencing that. Imagine the people that work here I salute you.It is very clean is comparing to other ones I have gone around. Every time I've had gotten a product no-one opening Or stealing something . This CVS but I had it with another one where I wanna buy my hair dye and literally they stole the conditioner which was completely annoying. But that has nothing to do with the products that they sell here. Food to go it is decent for what it is they have a tuna pasta thing I can't remember the name but it's really good LOL if you like tuna read more

Came here to drop off a prescription--The pharmacist here flat out told me she would not help me that she was only taking emergency antibiotic prescriptions. I said "great, thats exactly what this is." She then told me that she "couldn't read the handwriting and she would not call the Dr. to confirm"...so you literally won't do your job? I tried to speak with management, can't get anyone on the phone. Save yourself the trouble and go elsewhere--not worth the frustrations. read more

Update on my review from 2017 saying, "I'm not sure why this place has so many bad reviews" - I get it, I finally get it!!!!! I rarely ever give bad reviews and do not take pleasure in doing so. As a matter of fact, it's been a long while since I posted any reviews at all. However, I'm always SO frustrated with this pharmacy, and I can't help but vent and warn others about this place. There is one pharmacy manager who's a doll (I forget her name), but she is the only one I can vouch for who does her job and does it well. She has gone above and beyond for me when the rest of the staff were slacking. First, don't try calling there because you will NEVER get an answer. As I type this out of frustration, I'm on minute 16 of my third call in the past hour. My last 8-minute wait was picked up and then immediately hung up on. They just don't do phone calls, I guess. While that's annoying, I've had bigger issues here on multiple occasions that were unacceptable. I won't get into it, but the pharmacy manager took care of me whenever it was brought to her attention. And picking up your meds that are "ready,"... I'd say about 90% of the time I go there, I'm in line for an average of 10-15 minutes. And there's only usually a few people in front of me, although there's also usually 5-6 people working... so although this may be in a convenient location, depending on where you live - I would avoid this place. read more

If "please hold" and I don't get paid enough to care" had a love child this would be it. The main pharmacists are great - the only glimmer of humanity in the store. However, this location is extremely understaffed. Perhaps this staff needs support or perhaps they need a raise to put their best foot forward. Even for a CVS this is particularly bad. The parking lot is a mess as well. I see this location closing in the near future. Avoid at all costs. read more

This review is specifically to say thank you to MJ and Diana in the pharmacy. These women went absolutely above and beyond to help me with my prescription and insurance. They always provide amazing service but today they really took it to another level. I can't say enough about these wonderful employees! read more

The pharmacist is rude every time, without fail. There's always a wait for her, and then you have to argue with her to get access to a drug you were already prescribed, and CVS has already said it is ready for you. I weaned off my anti-depressants because it was such a constant fight with this pharmacist. Don't visit this CVS Pharmacy unless you're prepared to advocate for yourself. read more

I was on hold for 90 minutes today waiting to check on my prescription. No one picked up. Outrageous. No manager on duty in the front store. Incompetent. read more

Absolutely horrible. Shitty communication and heaven forbid your doctor prescribed you a "narcotic", they will immediately treat you like a drug addict. Disgusting behavior and fucking weird even after saying the prescription will be ready by the 3rd. They say the pharmacy has been out for months and and they were wrong to tell me the prescription would be ready by the 3rd. Let me give them negative 0 stars because that's all the experience was with that weirdo on the phone. Never again with this pharmacy. read more

This review is for the pharmacy only. With special appreciation to QUYES! She runs that Pharmacy with grace and kindness. I can't express enough how helpful she and everyone behind the counter is at this location. read more

Saturday morning, 10:10 AM, the pharmacy is not open. Why? "Scheduling discrepancy" and no pharmacist is at the store. They say it probably won't open for another HOUR. For those of us who need meds, we've been up for hours already. This is my primary CVS and I had meds called in last night. I am in so much pain today and there's nowhere else to pick up my meds. Scheduling discrepancy??? Completely unprofessional. Can't believe they think this is acceptable. read more

Three people ant three different registers. All three people had problems at the check stand. What's wrong with this picture? Part of it is probably the CVS electronic system, but the other part is the staff itself. The staff doesn't seem to care a lot about helping customers. I was at the self-check out and had a problem with my checkout. I pushed the "get assistance" button but assistance was nowhere to be found, even though two clerks at the register were about ten feet away. After waiting a few minutes I went and asked a floor clerk to help me, and she said she couldn't help me. Finally, one of the clerks headed my way only to completely ignore me and walk right on by. Really? How lame is that? She knew I needed help because on her way back she finally stopped and helped me. It's obvious they hate their jobs. Too bad they can't find employees are willing to help people and who realize that their customers are the reason they have a job. The store itself is nice. It's clean, well stocked and laid out well. There's also plenty of easy parking. Hopefully, they'll make some staff changes or get them some customer service training. read more

CVS is my closest pharmacy but I'm trying to switch to all delivery through my insurance (Ingenio/Blue Cross). Although they have 6 foot intervals clearly marked out on the floor for the pharmacy, they allow two patrons to check out a the same time, when the two registers are not more than 4 feet apart, which is clearly unsafe and not following Covid distancing protocol. It is not clear if they sanitize the register stylus between customers. I don't feel safe in the store. When I attempted to use their delivery service, I found the process to be ridiculously convoluted. I can't access it online from my desktop, I have to go the text and click on the link and then try to select delivery. I did it once, thought it was working, but continued to get texts for the same Rx. One Rx wasn't eligible for delivery, though I can get it from my online pharmacy. I find it hard to believe that they cannot figure out how to have a simple, user-friendly desktop and phone-based app to process delivery orders. read more

The worst pharmacy department! They lost my prescription! I'm past due to start taking my medication for 5 days now! After following up 3 times, they called my doctor's office to request another prescription. The most unorganized pharmacy I've been to! read more

The pharmacy is HORRIBLE. I've never left a Yelp review and I am so annoyed that I have to do one. The pharmacist took one look at my prescriptions and was like we dont have it. I kindly asked her if she can look up to see which CVS had it and she goes No. Also, my past experience with tylenol codeine I needed to get filled for surgery she AGAIN said she didnt have it and cant give it to me. THE SAME HEAD PHARMACIST. So I had my doctor call her and when she saw me pick it up she looked as if she had seen a ghost. HIRE PEOPLE THAT LIKE THEIR JOB AND ARENT LAZY AF. dont go here if you need medicine. You'll probably die bc they're too lazy to fill it or just mess up on yourprescription. AVOID. . read more

The pharmacy stuff is awful! I was using this pharmacy since it was open in 1999 and never got problems before but when they got a new manager everything changed to the doctor worse. I have a doctor prescribtion for my medicine signed on 6/4/18 but since then I was at the pharmacy more then 5 times to get my medicine but it was out of stock, they have to order it, the manager left earlier, the manager has to call my doctor, and finally the doctor didn't put in codes for my diagnoses!!! Wow! It past already more then two and half month and nothing done. Also, I spoke to the manager of the store and he promised me to call back on Monday but the week passed and he never called me back. Now I have to complain to the headquarters! By the way, the name of the pharmacy manager is Mariam and in addition to her negligence she is also rude. read more

This has been my pharmacy for years, all the 1 stars are from disgruntled patients. The pharmacists do their job and are hard workers. Don't listen to the bad reviews these people are amazing. read more

Just stopped in right before close at the end of everyone's shift and wanted to recognize a gentleman named Wu. He warmly greeted me and asked if I needed help finding anything and was a delight while ringing me up. I hope his contributions are recognized. This place has been wonderful during the pandemic and I have been very satisfied. read more

The one manager I've met is great. The parking lot is nice. I know it's LA but how much broken glass does one lot really need? They seem to prefer you use self checkout. Never enough shopping carts or wheeled baskets. I've had a staff person ask me to surrender mine to someone else. I understand, but they really need more if they want people to buy only light bottles of shampoo and not more than a basket's worth of paper towels. They often put the store seal over the ingredients on lipsticks. Maybe it's the manufacturer's fault? The pharmacy needs work. They are always understaffed. And they don't always have medicines in stock. And they can't look up on their computer to see if another cvs has it. read more

This is the worst CVS store out there. I called their pharmacy twice, back to back, and was left on hold for over 20 minutes. Nobody ever answered. I then call the store, some moron tries to tell me they're so busy with people in line they can't answer. I said that's ridiculous! I called twice, no one ever answered either time, and I am a customer just like those people in line! The idiot then tells me he's going back there to see what's happening. 15 minutes later I was still on hold so I hung up. I called another cvs and was immediately assisted. They should get rid of all these morons and start over! read more

Quyen and her staff were super helpful! This store has good parking which is rare in Hollywood.
