Even though I was having a problem with my medication, Nathan at the pharmacy helped me out so much even though there was a line he fixed my problems and also cared about me as a person. This guy needs a raise for being a pharmacy tech because he handled everyone was such care read more

I went to the CVS pharmacy on Meridan at Branham and the pharmacist would not fill my husband's prescription from the ER because she said it needed to be electronically transmitted to them. Really?? It seemed as if she didn't want to have anything to do with it. I went back to the ER and spoke with two nurses and they basically said that this a prescription written by a doctor and a pharmacy should honor it. read more

As usual the pharmacy is efficient and courteous. The staff were very helpful and knew how to overcome minor obstacles like transferring my prescription from my home CVS because I'm traveling. They got the prescription moved in 10-15 minutes and that was that. I was all done. The pharmacy earns 5 stars But I had to ruin the experience by shopping in the store. I decided to pick up some sugar - free breath mints and chewing gum to combat my dry mouth. Both turned out so ghastly I wondered why the store bothered to stock them. Better to skip these items than leaving the customer with such a bad taste in their mouth. So far the store experience wobbles at about 2.5 stars. read more

Dude at the pharmacy pick up counter is rude. I get notified of "ready-to-pickup" prescriptions via annoying voicemails that are...not ready ready when I actually arrive. When you call to authorize family member for pick up, the phone line is automated with the dumbest AI assistant I have ever encountered. ZERO opportunity to be transferred to a human. This place sucks. read more

The staff is very friendly and helpful, and they have a large selection of merchandise. I always get my prescriptions there because the pharmacy is well run. read more

Nathan in the pharmacy is so worried to get people through the line, that he does not even allow people the opportunity to read the questions when prompted on screen when using a card. He is rude and has no patience. For elderly and sick people, this is so disappointing when truly more patience and understanding is sometimes needed. After bringing this to his attention, he merely could have apologized instead he stared with no expression and silent. read more

The worst pharmacy in the county! They constantly question why you need the drug you are requesting after approval from your doctor! I can't believe it! The drugs are always late even if they are on automatic refill. I have to call in every month to remind them and then the hassle starts. CVS Pharmacies are going down the tubes but this one for me is absolutely the worse! I finally got wise and went to another pharmacy and it was NOT another CVS! read more

Ramona is amazing! She is absolutely the sweetest and most caring employee at this store! Ramona has seen my family and I here a lot as we live close by and shop here frequently. She has made every experience a great one! Ramona remembers our names and even asks how work is going for us. Absolutely wonderful customer service!! Thank you Ramona!! read more

This is one of the worst stores that you can visit. Please avoid it at all costs. I got a $100 Amazon gift card from here, and gave it as a gift to a friend. A few days later my friend mentions that when he opened the card the last few digits on the card are smudged(meaning he could not get the money from the card). This is a well known 'gift card skimming scam', and the store doesn't have proper security to handle the thieves from doing this. I went to the manager, who was very rude (had an attitude that I had done some crime to cause this), and would not give any empathy or proper next steps, and just asked me to call the corporate number. Calling corporate was useless (I wish I had know this before), as they seem to be concerned, but did nothing for the customer (their resolution was: Please take it up with Amazon). This is so unprofessional. At the end, I lost $100, and CVS did *nothing* to take ownership for the problem (If only they have proper security measures to protect customers). Please never ever do business with this institution. read more

My wife attempted to make a purchase yesterday, but they wouldn't honor/process her rewards discount, therefore it was a wasted trip. We won't be returning. read more

When I'm in the area the first place I go is the soap aisle, they do decent and deep discounts on products to make room for new stuff. Or what ever didn't catch on and sell. I try and stop by here at least once a month to check out the discounts and stuff like vitamins too. And also to try a different brand that's probably a better deal than the online stuff I normally grab. The PCP recently recommended that I get a night guard for my teeth. TBH I was overwhelmed by the selection of products they have for night guards. Oral b is a good brand, I'll stick with that. Enso#133 CVS#27 Yr:74 + essentials discounts pharmacy - overall is okay. _Renew read more

CVS Pharmacy - Night time Oral B pro thin-fit. The PCP recommend I use one. (/_ /) - Drugstores Near Me - SAN JOSE, California

This was my local CVS for two years while I was working in the area. I've been going to CVS for my Pharmacy for years, so this one became my go to - being the closest and most convenient. There are several issues that plague this store over others, which have made my experiences less than great. The store is notorious for long lines. The checkers are doing their best, but having one person up front doesn't work during a busy time. I've seen managers just ignore the lines and go on gossiping with other employees. If it were only once I wouldn't bother mentioning, but it always seems like the same people working hard and others - not so much. I have also had several situations with the pharmacy where I have asked them to stop the automatic refills and they did not. I would come down thinking that I had an important item to pick up, only to find out it wasn't something I asked for or needed. As a frequent shopper of CVS, I hope that management can focus on the customer experience and turn this place around before it closes. read more

CVS Pharmacy - Halloween time!! - Drugstores Near Me - SAN JOSE, California

The CVS Pharmacy on Branham at Meridian has improved. This pharmacy is always very busy and the employees are always pleasant and eager to help. They are open until 8 pm some nights which is helpful with picking up prescriptions. read more

Big thanks to the young lady working this Sunday morning who agreed to take passport pictures of a 1 and 3 year old. Called around and many places said they didn't for that age. I now understand why. It took a while to get acceptable pictures and she was very accommodating. Thank you! read more

My neighborhood drug store. People are always polite. The pharmacy is always busy, of course but that is to be expected in a city with over a million people. read more

I think this is one of the largest CVS locations I've seen. Knowledgeable & polite staff directed me to the metal drop-off boxes for sharps & expired medicines. Funny yet sad sign that used medicines must go IN the box. If box is locked, then it is full. Quick visit for me. read more

Female Hispanic manager was very rude, Apparently I was not in line because I didn't walk around completely, I was not aware I wasn't in line. She helped other multiple people before I walked over to someone else who helped me immediately with common courtesy. read more

SLOW, under staffed, and careless. Spent a half hour standing in line waiting for photos that were supposed to be ready 3 hrs ago. Apparently the "your photos are ready" emails mean nothing. They didn't start printing until i showed up at the store. The clerk then got the order confused and made me wait unnecessarily while she printed someone else's photos. Also had a terrible experience with their pharmacy which sold me the wrong prescription (doctor prescribed 5ml and they sold me 3ml.) I learned the hard way: check your prescription BEFORE you leave the store. read more

DO NOT USE THIS PHARMACY! I've had issues for several months where my provider says my prescription will be ready on a certain date. Whenever that date comes, the pharmacy ALWAYS says it's on hold until my provider approves it. And when I contact my provider, he says that he approved it when we last spoke, which could be up to three weeks before. And this happens every time, no matter how much I call my provider or call the pharmacy beforehand to make sure it's ready (side note--I have been on hold for over an hour before. The pharmacy never picks up the phone). It's ADHD meds so I'll survive but I imagine if I had diabetes or a heart condition--these issues could have serious consequences! Do not go here. read more

This has to be the worst CVS in the area. I had a terrible experience with the cvs pharmacist from the 2069 Camden Ave location so I started coming to this location hoping the employees would be better. Urmi was incredibly nice and she sold me the carepass which is a paid membership that cost $5 a month and entitles members to free delivery of all prescriptions and also 20% off store brand items. So I went to use my discount on some overpriced cvs cough meds but Judy was too incompetent to figure out how to honor my 20% off. She blamed Urmi for setting up my membership incorrectly and then she blamed CVS for having faulty computers, she even blamed me the customer for why she wasn't able to apply my 20% off. At one time she even called me a liar and said that I had no proof that I was a carepass member. I was too frustrated to deal with her anymore so I went home and canceled my paid cvs membership. I attached a picture of my cancellation notice from CVS as proof that I was a member. I will not buy anything from CVS ever again. I will have my prescriptions transferred to targets pharmacy. Hopefully, CVS will go out of business. Judy is unfit to be a manager and should be demoted. I will also be calling my credit card company to have them change the price of the actual Item to reflect my 20% off. Shame on you Judy for blaming everyone except your lack of customer service skills. You should have gotten out a calculator to subtract 20% off the 1 item I purchased but instead you lost a customer who was wasting $300 a month at cvs buying stuff every time she came in to pick up a prescription. read more

CVS Pharmacy - Do not buy the carepass membership. Judy will not honor the member benefits and you will waste your money. It's a huge hassle to cancel. - Drugstores Near Me - SAN JOSE, California

This store has very polite staff members who are always willing to help and listen to what you are looking for. One Employee even helped me pick out a tie-dye shirt for my tie-dye day at work. When I came back the next day for my booster shot he saw the shirt and asked how the shirt matched with the spirit day we had! I wish I knew his name to shout him out but is my Favorite CVS to go to, They aren't usually busy and makes for faster shopping trips. read more

I was nervous to go to this pharmacy with all of the negative reviews, but I had the opposite experience! I've been there 3x now and each time I've been seen right away, they work really fast, they never made me feel rushed, always worked at getting me a discount (since my insurance is terrible), provided information about additional services they offer in case I need it, and made me feel like a valued customer. Maybe they got rid of the problem people at the pharmacy. because the staff and pharmacists I've dealt with were awesome. read more

Extremely rude customer service by the pharmacy lady who answered the phone. My 85 year old mom had needed some clarification regarding her meds. She lectured at my mom that she had already called the pharmacy and she proceeded to answer the questions as if my mom was a waste of her time. What a freaking c$nt. read more

The new male manager is extremely unfriendly and rude. I experienced this twice. 1) He was very disrespectful when I went to ring my stuff at the counter, didn't bother to ask if I had a cvs card and was busy interviewing a person on phone all the time (2) I asked for an item that was locked up ( soap) by going to the billing counter. He ignored me and said he was busy billing and didn't even bother to say he will assist soon or which isle I was looking for the item. After 10 minutes he came looking if I was still there. Very very impatient and non customer friendly person. The ladies, specially the older ladies are extremely polite and respectful. Dude please Learn customer service or learn to talk politely and respectfully. read more

This will be my local CVS. Very large, but a tad outdated, not as warm and bright as the past CVS stores I've gone to. I did feel a bit like a midget waiting at the pharmacy as it's quite high, and there was no line unlike my usual CVS pharmacy in Cupertino. They were very helpful, and there's tons of parking out here. Curious to see what this plaza has to offer. read more

Absolute joke of a pharmacy. Multiple times now I've dropped off a prescription that was supposed to be filled along with others, and then came in to pick it up and they had no idea what I was talking about. The techs typically over no apology, and when I was last there expressing how irritating this was, Sheena just kept trying to shut me up. I'll be changing pharmacies, and would advise against this one. read more

Walked into the store a couple of days ago because I was in the area meeting a friend and decided to search for some replacement icicle christmas lights that we needed at home. The store was pretty clean and large, with not too many people shopping at night. The aisle where they sold christmas decorations and other stuff was near the front of the store and not difficult to find. I was really happy to find the last set of 200 white icicle lights, just what I needed!!! I had actually called around a little earlier in the evening to a number of drugstores to find that they were all out of what I was looking for. So I like this CVS for having something I was in need of last minute. read more

I was skeptical about all the reviews until I experienced what everyone was complaining about. Needed to drop off my prescriptions and was greeted by "geanie" the pharmacy lady. Never have I used cvs for my pharmacy needs but figured it was convenient since I work close by. As the lady takes my prescriptions and starts to enroll me into the system she's looking up to see if my insurance would cover the cost. Unfortunately my insurance didn't cover anything. I was willing to pay out of pocket since I was already here but she seemed more hesitant that I should call my insurance and see what pharmacy providers my insurance covers. I really needed the medication today and she kept asking "are you sure you drop off the prescription, I don't want you to waste my time". At the point I said to her, " what do you mean waste your time?" She seemed to of caught herself in a hole after being disrespectful by making me feel as I was bothering her. She just had the worst attitude and good thing I made the decision to take my prescriptions and go to Safeway where they kindly took my prescriptions. In case you want to consider this place in the future. BELIEVE THE REVIEWS AND DO NOT GO TO THIS LOCATION FOR YOUR PHARMACY NEEDS. they're not willing to help. read more

The people working here HATE it and it is obvious. I've never had a cashier that wasn't rude in years and it's rare to find someone who will help you find a product. Plus, the products here are ridiculously over priced! I can find the exact same items at Target/Walmart/Walgreens for at least 25% less money. Their only redeemable quality is the coupons for certain purchases, but at this location, they couldn't be more annoyed that you wanted to use them if they tried. Definitely taking my households business elsewhere. read more

The store is fine, and mostly kept... However Judy's customer service is seriously lacking. I wish I knew when she worked so I could avoid coming in on her shifts. However the pharmacy techs are usually very pleasant. read more

When I was asking for the bathroom, the clerk told me that the bathroom was not for the general public. So i decided to go to Lunardis, then when i walked out, she was staring at me all the way until I left the store. The store clerk is a stalker. DO NOT SHOP HERE!! This is why we cannot have nice things. read more

I haven't used their pharmacy, so I can't comment on it. The rest of the place is just awful. The shelves are always empty--the same product for days and weeks. If you ask someone (assuming you can find someone to ask) they typically have the item in the back. The cashiers are slow and border on incompetent. On my last visit the shift manager took one look at the line and walked in the other direction. She couldn't be bothered to help cashier until she was specifically paged. read more

Love this CVS.. staff is always super friendly and helpful. Pharmacy always has my prescriptions ready on time and even texts me when their ready. They have a large supply of baby items.. even had a certain size pacifier, that another big baby supply store didn't have! read more

I'm a reasonably astute and intelligent human being. I've been going to this CVS since I was a kid, when it was Savon and Long's. In other words, almost 40 years. I've read many of the negative reviews, including the classless and disgusting racist one that calls out an employee's name, and come to one of the following conclusions: (A) some people are just really hard to please and will never be happy, (B) some customers are too high maintenance or (C) I have been going to a different CVS (because my experiences at this Meridian location have always been positive). I think it's A and B I'll continue shopping there and you should too. read more

I love this store. The clerks, managers and people in the pharmacy are great. Miracle workers sometimes.

My husband recently was injured and has needed medication. We choose this location due to the fact that it is close to our house. I have been there 3 times this month and have had a great experience each time. My wait time was maybe 10 minutes each time I went. They were friendly and super helpful each time I've been. I highly recommend!!! read more

I wanted to use my printed online gift certificate, which I've already done here before. Salesperson refused to accept it, even though the same person had no problem accepting it a couple of weeks before. She even called her manager who also said no to me. I went to a different CVS store on 5407 Camden Ave and easily redeemed my gift certificate by nice polite people there. I'll never shop in this store on 4550 Meridian Avenue again. read more

I love CVS even though some of their instant coupons don't take off the correct amount. This seems to be a computer issue. The staff is very courteous and helpful. I shop there often and love their weekly deals! I would highly recommended CVS! read more

I am extremely upset with the pharmacy department. I called early this afternoon to arrange for home delivery of an emergency prescription that I need today and was told that for a fee it would be hand delivered this afternoon. Since we are in our late 70's and are being very careful about the self-quarantine restrictions, this seemed to be the best solution for our situation. It is now 7:40 pm on Friday evening (the pharmacy closes at 8:00) and was just told that it would not be delivered after all. No explanation, other than they don't know who does the deliveries so they don't know who to call. Needless to say, I will NEVER use CVS again. Don't trust these people. read more

When I first walked into this place I was like wow it's very spacious the only problem that I had with this joint is that it lacked a lot of products that I use on a daily basis so that's why I'm cutting the two stars I figured since this is a pharmacy that it would have most of the items I'm looking for but it didn't! It is stocked with other miscellaneous products that most people need...body wash,shampoo,makeup on the go,occasional bday card,etc. but that's about it I will be coming back for products that i need but not the ones that i heart! Parking is not bad btw! read more
