I made a vaccine appointment an hour in advance. My vaccine was administered shortly after I arrived and the Pharmacist was very kind. In the short time I waited, I heard a woman yelling at the staff and berating them. The staff members remained professional. We all NEED pharmacists and support staff!!! I am grateful that there are people willing to spend years of their life studying to achieve their degrees so I am able to receive services or pick up medications. Customers I am calling on you-BE KIND to the Pharmacists and staff. Strive to be courteous so they can focus on performing their important work read more

The ineptitude, arrogance and rudeness of the pharmacist named "Lucy" is unlike any person whom I've ever met. She seemed to enjoy making my experience a miserable one. It took numerous calls from me, visits and talking to my provider to process one prescription and they still got it wrong. She made me so stressed that there is no way I can keep my prescriptions there. But that's OK because they don't care. read more

Rude staff here. I pressed the button for assistance once to get a locked item and waited right next to the product I needed. Then I hear a staff member a few aisles over talking to someone that said they didn't press the button. She comments back "That's the problem...they keep pressing the button but then they hide." I called over that I pressed it once and I haven't moved spots. She said she passed by and didn't see me. I mean I'm 5'9" and didn't move so not sure where her eyes were landing but sure wasn't in my direction. Then she had an attitude. Like look...it's not either of our choices to have items locked up but it is a choice how we treat people. Will definitely be avoiding this location. read more

CVS Pharmacy - Pharmacy Near Me - Mar Vista, California

Avoid this particular franchise if you need any actual help. Went to pick up a prescription at the pharmacy, the pharmacist, who was very annoyed, informed me they didn't have the product. I asked them if possibly any other CVS would have it in stock, she said no, didn't even offer to call down the street. I went to the CVS in the marina and they partially filled my prescription and ordered me more that I would need in the coming month. My partner went in there asking for help for a sunscreen that wouldn't turn her face white, and came home with... a sunscreen that turned our face white. There are plenty of pharmacies and drug stores around. Avoid if you can. read more

Worst pharmacy in Los Angeles. Charged me full price despite being handed my insurance card, then was unable to fix it. The time before I came here they closed early for lunch despite my standing in line for 30 minutes, dead dog sick. These people have lost their capacity for shame. Every single employee is worthless. Just don't go here, travel and far as you need for an alternative. Pathetic. read more

Rude people working here. Snatched my phone out of hand to scan my prescription. Worst care team ever.

They need better job training, on how to speak to people on the counter. The young girl that was there that assisted me she obviously needs classes on how to speak to people. She's ill equipped to handle the counter, she did not know what she was saying, just telling it's out of stock and go over there, with an unprofessional manner I had to tell her to talk to me in a professional manner. I should not have to tell your Employees to do these things, on how to properly carry themselves when they're at work. Train your people better. she's just telling me this while I'm in excruciating pain. I almost lost it on her really. I was told to come back on this day and pick it up. 24 to 35 people were helped before me. And i was there hours before them, what a slap in the face. Obviously there's something going on here. read more

I have been a CVS customer for decades. I have been a CVS pharmacy customer at the Mar Vista location for over 13 years, but the service has deteriorated so badly that I can no longer recommend this location. The pharmacy is consistently disorganized, prescriptions are not ready when promised, mixed, incorrect messages on the CVS app, and staff often appear overwhelmed and dismissive. These repeated issues have caused me unnecessary stress, delays in getting critical medications, and wasted time waiting in line for hours. CVS Mar Vista used to be a reliable pharmacy, but in recent years, specifically the past five months, the quality of service has completely collapsed. Despite repeatedly requesting non-childproof caps for my prescriptions, CVS continues to give me childproof bottles. I suffer from severe arthritis, and these caps are nearly impossible for me to open. After multiple requests, it's clear that CVS is either not listening or not taking my needs seriously. Furthermore, I am extremely disappointed with the pharmacist (NOT ELAINE) at this CVS who provided me with incorrect information about my prescription. I was told that there is a shortage of Percocet 10 mg and the pharmacist blamed it on the manufacturer, when in fact, according to Costco, there is no such thing as a shortage of Percocet. Pharmacists are supposed to be a trusted source for accurate medical guidance, and instead of clarity, I was left stressed and confused, and had to verify the correct information elsewhere. This level of negligence is unacceptable. Patients deserve competent, careful pharmacists they can rely on--something I did not experience with this specific pharmacist! After years of loyalty, I am switching to another pharmacy. CVS needs serious management changes before I could ever consider returning. read more

This CVS facility has no meaningful management. Every time I visited this store, I was overwhelmed by the large crowds each time. I was but one of many customers who had to wait in long lines. Moreover, there is no one in the huge store who is available to help find a specific product. A customer must hunt through the store, and maybe the wanted item can be found. I think that store overcrowding is partly due to no one answering the telephone when ordering a refill or looking for information concerning prescriptions or other items. When calling the store, a customer must attempt to communicate with a computerized voice that incorrectly responds to incoming calls. In summary, the store is overcrowded, there is no apparent customer service, and there is no human to answer telephone calls to the pharmacy. The automated telephone message tells the customer to leave a message and that someone from the store will return their call. Over time, I have left messages, but never received a return call from this unusual CVS. read more

The lines are extremely long at the pharmacy They have no compassion for thr sick disabled and older people. They should be ashsmed of themselves read more

This is regarding their bathroom which was really the worst I've experienced in a long time. It looked like it hadn't been cleaned in days. There was no TP in the stalls, the floor inside the stall had some type of liquid on the floor, and there was literally an entire industrial roll of TP on the floor. Not only that but you had to walk upstairs which made them inaccessible to anyone with mobility issues. I was there at the pharmacy with my 92 year old father and fortunately it was only me that had to use the restroom. read more

The pharmacy tech who helped me today was lovely and amazing but cvs allowing that level of construction going on where the pharmacy used to be during business hours is absolutely insane. The noise level was unbearable. No one can even hear each other. And those poor workers better be getting hazard pay. In addition to the noise at 9am on a Thursday, the containment for the construction was so bad. It is not fully sealed and not containing the dust and construction debris. I feel so bad for the workers there or people going to CVS to pick up rx's who might have compromised immune systems bc that construction dust can cause infections. (My job is making sure construction/renovation at a major hospital does not impact patient care so not pulling this out of my ass or trying to be a Karen; this is not good on multiple levels). read more

This pharmacy is so much better than the marina del Rey site. Pharmacist (Dr Anderson)helpful and friendly, front desk are friendlier. Short line as well. Only bad parts -1)crap parking lot, 2) watching unhoused people walk out with their five finger discount, 3) no self pay kiosks because of #2. read more

Diana got me to join CVS CarePass. I don't know if I'll be keeping it, but she was the first cashier to ever make an effort to explain this program to me, and she wasn't pushy at all. At the moment, I was in. She was honest in saying it has a $5 monthly fee, and she also provided the information of what it was about on a flyer, including a number to call if I do decide to cancel. Truth is, I usually use self-checkout (which I believe they don't have here) so Diana was a very pleasant employee to work with! read more

This CVS is in a little strip mall in Mar Vista. Parking is easy and free. The store is very clean and the staff is nice. I was here to get the Covid booster shot. They were ready for me right at my appointment time. It did not take long at all and everything was set up. I did not see anyone not wearing a mask and all the staff was wearing masks as required by law here. While I was there, I thought I would shop. They have a great selection. I was able to get those little travel items you may want for a To Go bag which I carry in my trunk. They have so much candy and cookies. The wait to check out was not at all long and the person checking us out was super nice. I will be back to this one. read more

See all

What a great experience with Alfonso, Sam, & Vainey at this location recently! The All-In-One Flossing System that I bought several months ago stopped working unexpectedly. I called this location & Vainey was super helpful in doing an exchange for a new system. Sam & Alfonso were professional/pleasant in processing the exchange & making sure the new system worked properly. I'm a CvS customer at another nearby location.. However, after the recent pleasant experience at this location, I might start shopping here. Kindly acknowledge Vianey, Alfonso, & Sam for the great CVS employees tha they are. It was truly a prompt & pleasant experience doing the exchange at this location. :) read more

I found the pharmacist Nguyễn to be cold rude and unhelpful. She also told me to wait ( which I did) and then took another patient who wasn't in line ahead of me. Wish I could have had a better experience. read more

I came to this CVS right now and it's closed, I understand if it's a restaurant and they need time to clean up but it's a convenience store. I did not come 10 min before...I came 35 min before close. Maybe they had a problem with registers but doesn't seem to be because the workers are looking out the window for customers. Absolutely unacceptable especially for people who may be more in a need, much better to just drive the extra 5 min to the marina location that's open 24 hours read more

The pharmacist Jessica was very kind and helpful. Thank you. She left the pharmacy to help me find a medication instead of just tell me the aisle (the same way that the other pharmacist did earlier without looking to me) read more

The store absolutely sucks if you need to buy something that is locked by employees. Otherwise it's ok. Parking is not the best but not the worst. The pharmacy can have a short wait but not too bad. There are no automated machines so you have to interact with a cashier. read more

The pharmacy staff is the most unprofessional, rude, dismissive, and condescending group of people I've ever dealt with. This store is so close to my home but unfortunately I'm having to now move all prescriptions to the store on Sepulveda. Do better CVS. read more

Pretty awful service here. It's a huge store and one of the biggest in the area, yet it doesn't have self checkout and often has 1 person at the register helping a line of 10-15 people while other employees wander around looking lost. I asked an employee for some help finding an item, and they basically said "I don't know, I'm new" and went off to help someone else. Y'all need to shape tf up... read more

Staff was slouchy. Checking out my items with the registrar has felt unpleasant numerous times. I'm just being honest and expressing my opinion. read more

Worst CVS in the entire state. They are terrible rude and can't even print a picture correctly

The pharmacists at this place are the most incompetent that I've ever seen. They are unhelpful, lack common sense, and somehow seem to make things that could be very simple the complete opposite. read more

Not sure why they have so many poor reviews but we had no problems the few times we shopped here. The store is a bit crowded but we've always been able to find what we want. It is a popular store so often there are lines. The clerks work pretty fast and I've seen them open up more cashier stations when the line gets long. Parking is a problem as they are next to Mitsuwa, which is super popular with a food court inside. Other than that I think it's a good store. read more

This CVS was great pre pandemic. It's now a hot mess, even the robo-phone for refilling prescriptions doesn't work properly. Good luck getting through to pharmacy staff, and there is always a long line. Such a shame they have tanked this store. We're leaving. read more

I've been going to this CVS for 2.5 years and I have not had many problems until this week where not one, but two employees at the pharmacy were incredibly rude over the phone and dismissed my questions. I'm very unhappy with the recent interactions I've had here and will be taking my business elsewhere due to these individuals. read more

This place is so damn rude... Cashiers mostly. They have zero shame in their rudeness. It's actually jarring. The poor pharmacy has equipment from a decade I can't recognize. read more

RUDE STAFF + AWFUL SERVICE DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU NEED A CARD PRINTED! Apologies as I go semi-Karen here with my review, but people should know: This location was listed as one of the places that had a guaranteed same-day pickup. So after placing an INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT order under the expectation that I could pick it up that same day, the CVS website told me my order would be ready at 1:05 pm. Knowing it was a Saturday, I figured I'd give them at least an hour extra to have the card printed -- and so I arrive much later and inform the staff that I'm here to pick up my personalized greeting card. Only then do they tell me that the printer isn't working, and then the worker unnecessarily gets all rude and snarky by saying it was my fault for not calling in. How about you take one of these common sense solutions: 1) Update your website and say that your printer is broken 2) If you don't want to update your website, call the customers immediately after they place their order online & let them know that the printer isn't working. * Seems pretty easy since CVS website asks customers to put their callback number on orders anyway. 3) If you can't do either of those realistic things, don't make it out to be the customer's fault & be rude about it to reasonably unhappy customers who are trying to respectfully ask where they can go to get the order fulfilled. So yeah. This was unfortunate. But what made it even more unfortunate was the rude staff. I guess I might have gone full Karen. Sorry for that, but at the same time -- not really sorry. Way too many CVS options out there to give this one your business. My suggestion: find a different CVS. read more

Obviously the pharmacy doesn't check who get what! As long as you know the name and dob they don't even question you. They claim to have all these policies but don't actually check. On the other hand, I have pick up meds for family members multiple times without needing their is. I honestly think he just didn't want to give me.. i wonder why?! The guy next to me picked up meds and said you should just act like it's ur name and dob. Next time you decide to call corporate get your stories straight! read more

This place is not following covid precautions!!! Two young girls just walked in without masks and neither staff nor security did anything about it. One grabbed a hankerchief and put it near her mouth. And they walked in with nothing giggling. read more

CVS Pharmacy - a christmas tree in a store - Pharmacy Near Me - Mar Vista, California

I ordered a photo that was supposed to be printed within an hour. 2 hours later I came in and it hadn't been printed. I waited in line and they assured me it would be ready in 10 minutes. Half an hour later someone else told me they couldn't print it at all. Bring your business to a pharmacy that is respectful of your time. read more

The customer facing staff are great, the pharmacists are rude AF. Agree with the comment about Nguyen below - impatient, interrupted me before I finished my question and then gave an "up to you" non answer. She's not the only rude pharmacist encounter I've had when calling in to do their job regarding my prior authorizations. There's no accountability nor is there a desire to truly help. If they weren't so close and convenient I would never recommend the pharmacy there. So much anxiety every time I pick up a prescription. read more

For companies Review of CVS Pharmacy Viki Agvent Teahan 1 review CVS inept with COVID testing. On July 2 the CVS web site indicated a 2-4 day wait for COVID test results. The test was a drive thru DIY. Today is jul 11 and we STILL DO NOT HAVE RESULTS! CVS can't be reached and while the current surge in cases justifies a delay, the site now say 5-7 days. If you call and get thru after 2 hours on hold, they will tell you that doesn't include weekends or holidays. By all means, DO NOT trust CVS with your important COVID testing. read more

Actually the store really sucks, and the extremely low quality merchandise/garbage sells for extremely high prices. The fan I bought there still smells like chemicals, I can't even use it. Why can't some of these industrial retailers stock good merchandise? Total miserable stuff for sale. Nothing lasts there. Can't but a decent razor there, a toothpick or even soap! = 0/5 stars!!!! But, however, the pharmacy seriously is the best ever. I am not kidding. They do an excellent service there in the Rx Dept. They text me when things are ready, which is cool, and the staff there is next to none in my opinion.They are easy to deal with for an Rx. From the cashiers to the pharmacists, they are super in the Rx Dept. The Pharmacists are more helpful than the doctors we see. =5/5 stars!!!! Final calculation; 1/2[0/5+5/5]= 2.5/5 stars! Oh, don't forget to hit the 5 star taco truck over there on Centinela! i.e. Mar Vista Tacos read more

It's 10:52, I arrived three minutes ago they have a stupid sign that says OPEN FROM 7am-11pm BUT THEY CLOSED 10:50pm. Can't make the time you should be open find another job what kinda service is that you guys are a PHARMACY FFS I wonder if the owner knows you guys can't handle the last 10min or change the dog to 7am to 10:45pm so I don't walk for no reason because you beauty gets to tired to stay open until the end the shift! read more

Probably the worst CVS I've ever been to. I've been several times and it seems they are always out of the item I need (which are usually basic hygiene or over-the-counter meds). When I ask for assistance, the staff are either rude or no one comes to assist at all. I've left empty handed at least three times for this reason. And for some reason, there is always a long line to checkout -- which moves unnaturally slow. I'd rather drive an extra 10 minutes to a different location than waste my time here. Only thing not terrible about this CVS is the parking. But what's the point when you won't get what you need and/or you'll spend twice as much time getting it then necessary? No thanks. read more

The older (fake) blonde woman manning the cash register around 10:30am today (04/07/21) was extremely rude! I asked multiple questions and got ignored. Needed help but she was so mean all I got was attitude. This employee is very unprofessional & should not be interacting with customers. Very dissatisfied & disappointed with my experience at this store. Will not be returning! read more

What a joke. I live close by. I went in to buy a 10 pack of syringes as I'm diabetic. I brought my insulin with me. I've purchased syringes here before, no problem. I was told by the young Asian pharmacist with braces that they were out of syringes. I thought "why is she lying to me?" I asked if there were any syringes AT ALL? No, we have no syringes for you, sir. I will NEVER come back. Do you understand? NEVER. Either you are incompetent at stocking vital items, or you have refused service to a diabetic who needs to take his medicine. Either way, you should be ashamed of yourself. read more
