In my experience, it's impossible from the big chains. Skendarian is one of the rare places that can not only create custom topical/transdermal medications, but do it exceptionally well. My Boston vet had directed me to an out-of-state pharmacy to make a topical version of the steroid my cat could not tolerate in liquid form. It would have taken at least five business days for me to get the meds, even paying for express shipping. I remembered that Skendarian can compound medications on site. I called them. They had the prescription cream it ready the same day they received the prescription! I'm embarrassed to write that this is not the first time Skendarian came through for our household when no other pharmacy could. The experience reminded me how critical it is to patronize local pharmacies for every day needs. CVS or Walgreens would not have done for me at all what Skendarian was able to do in ONE DAY. I wish I lived in Cambridge rather than Boston so I could do all my drugstore shopping there. They are the best. Seriously.

The lady said and I quote I'm not opening up just for you it would' have taken her two seconds and made my shopping experience just a little easier but she couldn't be bothered to go out of her way to help an a customer I guess stacking Twix candy bars was more important

This CVS is located right in Harvard square, it is extremely convenient as it is right outside the mbta T stop. This location is also very convenient from Harvard students as it is right next to Harvard university. It is located on a very busy street intersection, but surprisingly it is very spacious inside. It has two floors. On the first floors you can find mostly appliances, dried foods and frozen food; while on the second floor you van find the pharmacy, beauty produce and skincare products. The ambiance of this CVS is very nice and it is also very clean. The employees are somewhat helpful but at times I found them to be very rude and dismissive. I mostly come to this CVS to purchase skincare products like La Roche Posay. Most of their skincare products are locked up so you do need an associate assistance to grab them. A lot of times they are out of stock of the products I need and unfortunately this CVS is more on the pricier side compared to others one I have been too.

I called and they said they'd have it done in half an hour, but when I went in not only wasn't it ready, but they refused to even deal with it because of their afternoon break. Calls to the pharmacy take up to an hour to be answered. The line for the pharmacy can be up to 30 people, with only 1 person helping customers. I don't know why CVS wants this pharmacy to fail so badly. It's sad that they aren't willing to pay for a couple of extra people in the pharmacy, and would rather have customers leave them.

I've already transferred my prescriptions from CVS to Garys. Not only were all the workers exceptionally pleasant, every customer was just as nice! I was given great advice from the 'front of house' employee from makeup, to hair brushes, to oils. The other worker doing pharmacy was just as nice! I found eyeliner my mom used to wear from 1999-2005 that I haven't been able to find for years. It was like $4. I've also gone through maybe 20 hair brushes in the past year because they all sucked. The lady recommended a particular brush for my hair type and it's exactly what I've been looking for (and it was only like 14$). Just such good vibes. Old school. I want to go back to just hangout, but I won't because that's weird. Protect this place at all costs!!!
