This is my go to pharmacy because it's near home. I was today years old when I learned they had drive through! Omg game changer. I loved not having to get out the car with my kids. I was on the phone with my husband when he said use the drive through. I'm like what drive through??? Crazy! Anyways it was so fast. Took maybe 4 minutes to give my info, he grabbed the meds, checked my ID and I was omw home. I'm doing this from now on because if you have toddlers then you know they love to spend money like they work. The store is set up for you to buy and then add random things are the checkout. No, thank you! Drive through forever! read more

Horrible service. Unprofessional staff. Gave them 3 opportunities same result each time. One star is extremely generous. Just so disappointing. read more

There is a senior citizen cashier that is the worst cashier I have ever experienced since CVS has opened their doors. I provide the cashier my items to purchase. I put in my number for the rewards (there was no discount in price after inputting number), and she asked me to state my name? This is not necessary. I give you my product, you tell me the price, and I pay. During those steps, at no point of time should I have to state my name to the cashier. She needs to understand that communication between cashier and customer should be limited as not ever single person wants to be talked to. I refuse to spend my money there if I see her behind that counter. read more

This CVS is literally the WORST ever. They mess up your prescriptions, give you wrong dosing instructions, do not respond to calls or messages on the app or in live person. Do not process auto refills ??? They do not initiate the basic things such as prior authorization or refill authorization. Their attitude is literally the worst I've ever experienced. They are outright disrespectful of patients. A couple of their pharmacists should be fired. I had my new pharmacy call them to initiate the transfer of my medication profile. They did not only that, but successfully processed my prescription (that didn't actually need a prior authorization) and called me personally to inform me of the status. Funny thing... it's another CVS. CVS pharmacy on Campo should be shut down. The rest of the store can stay, but this last experience was one bad too many with them. Never again. read more

The automated helper for the pharmacy needs to go. This 4th version of the system is the absolute worst. Long winded, doesn't put in prescriptions to the system, it's constantly says they're out of stock and you have to physically go in the store to start refills, so what's the point? What a horrible job by CVS to implement this awful, buggy, long winded system. Shame on them. read more

Pharmacy service is garbage. They've been working on a prescription for a few days now and now I'm here in person waiting over 30 minutes.

This pharmacy is notorious for not answering their phone. My Doctor has even complained about it to me.

The pharmacy had one job to fill the prescription. If there was a problem with the prescription order, they needed to call the doctor like they said they would. they never did. I needed a secondary authorization that was never requested so now I'm lying here after surgery. Two days with no medication thanks a lot CVS. You're the Best! read more

Not happy this is not the first time I've had a not so great experience here. This time I'm just ready to place a complaint. Waited in the drive thru for 20 minutes behind a car. Then as soon as I pulled up CVS pharmacy employee closed the window gate down on me: note I waited they could've just verbally told me come back in however long but that wasn't the case: was waiting with my newborn & toddler: very upset with their customer service at this location read more

I would give them 0 stars if I could. This pharmacy is absolutely the worst of the worst. Staff horrible, whoever orders meds should be FIRED!!!! My medicine is in stock maybe 2% of the time. I can't tell you how much money they owe me. I have 2 insurance and they ALWAYS charge me more than my copay should be but I pay it because I need my medicine. I have no problems at the CVS in El Cajon on Navajo. Called corporate was transferred 3 times and took over 50 minutes. When corporate called they too couldn't get anyone to answer the phone. The call back system is a complete joke. It says leave a message and someone will call you back within a hour. Yes they call back within the hour but say absolutely nothing and I can hear everyone talking so there goes there so called privacy policy. I have phone numbers and peoples names and prescriptions they are taking and then after 2 minutes they hang up. Absolutely the worst! read more

Horrible service. The pharmacy is very slow, and most of the time is out of product and I have to come back in a few days. Staff is cold and uncaring, and not very customer service oriented. I have chosen another pharmacy further away in order to get better service and availability of product. read more

To preface this review, I am prescribing dentist. My office received a call from my patient trying to pick up his pain medication from this pharmacy. He reported that the pharmacist will not fill the prescription unless I gave more information. I tried to call the pharmacy back multiple times personally over the past hour to find out what information they need and was unable to get a hold of the pharmacist. I always do my best to communicate well with other health care professionals for the benefit of my patients. This pharmacy is failing to communicate with me to ensure my patient gets the medication he needs. I am now 38 minutes into my most recent call, and I am STILL on hold. The voicemail box is also full, so I have no way of even leaving a message to resolve this issue. read more

CVS Pharmacy - Over 38 minutes on hold with this pharmacy, and this is only one of multiple calls made this morning. - Drugstores Near Me - SPRING VALLEY, California

I have said it before and it seems like they enjoy reinforcing my opinion, this is the worst pharmacy I have ever used in my entire life. The latest bizarre incident is that I am picking up a "refill" and of course I need a pharmacist consultation (again for a refill?) and she asks me 'have you taken this before?" and I reply yes and she proceeds to tell me that it might make me drowsy (the medication is for insomnia), she then mentions "oh, I see this is higher dosage". She walks off and the guy tells me the price and I give him cash, he says you have a card on file, should I just charge the card? I say no thanks you have cash in hand, then gets perturbed and says "now I have to start over and proceeds to cancel my original order and needs my ID back to scan for the order. Prior to picking up this refill, the pharmacy texts me that the order is ready but, I get a text prior to that that says we need more information to fill your (refill?) order. Then 2 hours later I get the text that the order is ready (I never responded to request for more information). The ONLY reason I am still using this pharmacy is 1) all of my other meds come from Amazon but, Amazon can't ship narcotics 2) it is located almost walking distance from my home. If you enjoy being frustrated everytime you pick up medication, this is the pharmacy for you! read more

Very very rude pharmacist. Her name is Alda and she made this probably one of the worst experiences I have ever had with a pharmacy. I highly doubt not recommend this pharmacy. I will be making a corporate more direct complaint against this location as well. read more

CVS Pharmacy - Very rude and unprofessional. Should not have her job. - Drugstores Near Me - SPRING VALLEY, California

A national chain pharmacy that closes for lunch between 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm. What the actual F?! Can they not work in shifts? Seriously this is not a Mom and Pop store. A national chain. No wonder they are losing business. Under what business model is this actually successful???? Hello, Costco pharmacy. So what can you improve ? Actual customer service???? There's a start. read more

We've been to this location many times over the years but this was our first experience with the pharmacy itself. The servics was good and they were always helpful. We never had to wait a long time to get our medication, which is always a good thing. I had a slight hiccup when I received several reminders to refill a medication after I called and spoke with a gentleman to let them know I changed insurance and won't need the refill through CVS. Later, I spoke with the pharmacy manager, who apologized for the error, fixed it in the system, thanked me for letting her know, and that she would address it. THAT is what I call leadership in action! Besides that, CVS has great coupons, like the 30% or 40% off one item. I used one of mine to buy a pet bed - which are crazy expensive in pet stores. The original price was $9.99 plus 40% off! The pictures attached show both the kids love it! The store staff is friendly and they make sure the customer is satisfied one way or another. read more

Horrible customer service and they don't know what they're doing or what they're talking about. Told me my prescriptions were on hold when they weren't and I needed to call my doctor- did that in the parking lot just for the dr to tell me cvs is giving me false information Went back into cvs immediately and all of a sudden I can pick up my prescriptions now. Ridiculous and will be going literally anywhere but here from here on out read more

This pharmacy never has medication in stock. Save yourself the headache and go to literally any other pharmacy in the area.

Can't get through to a live person. Wasted twenty minutes going through freaking menu, only to have to wait for a call back. Still waiting. Great way to lose my Business! read more

I stopped thin newly opened CVS in Casa de Oro/Spring Valley area to pick up some toothpaste. Specifically some ProNamel® Gentle Whitening toothpaste given my teeth have been sensitive to cold as of late. My colleague recommended the product. The first thing I noticed about this CVS was its sheer size. It a lot larger than any of the CVS/pharmacy stores I have visited in San Diego. I liked the wide aisles with easy access and well organized and stocked shelves. The pharmacy is located in the back which you can see right as you walk in because you can not miss the large neon light on the wall. They offered a varied selection of ProNamel® Gentle Whitening toothpaste. After mulling, I chose the one that I thought would best suite me $6.99. I thought it was a little high for a toothpaste, but they also seem to get you with something you really need. I browsed a bit to compare prices and I noticed that their prices are, in general, a little higher than other other chain drugstores. Service was very nice at the register. In fact, a manager stepped in to open another register to keep things flowing. That is always nice to see. read more

I live in the area so I have been to this CVS various times. I always have an okay experience, nothing great..I have learned to not expect much from this place, however today, Alan changed my mind!! I walked in inquiring about the covid testing, I walked around the entire store but I couldn't find any associates until I came across Alan, he immediately greeted me and offered to help. He explained that they are currently only accepting appointments only but he told me how to schedule online. In addition to that, he told me about the at home kits that they have. He was so helpful, detailed, personable and kind, he literally restored my faith in CVS employees!! Thanks for all your help, Alan! read more

Never ending phone issues, never ending attitude, never ending rude customer service, this is not just specific to the pharmacy staff, this also includes the rude store manager Lori. I have no idea how she was hired as a store manager! I transferred my prescriptions out of there and not going to shop there anymore. I hope they close down soon, it's a waste of good space. read more

Worst service I've ever experienced at a pharmacy. A much needed prescription sent back to doctor because they didn't have it. No notice nothing. Called in at approximately 2pm. I called at 4 for status and was informed that they just sent it back Now doctors office is closed and it will be two days before they reopen. Can't get anything done. I'll never use this business again read more

This place CVS in Campo Rd. Is horrible, don't take your prescription here. They are rude and unprofessional , attached is a screenshot of the time I was put on hold. They don't care . I went in the lobby one night and there was this customer who mentioned that he was also having a hard time getting a hold of someone in the pharmacy and by the time he got to the line at 7 pm. They told him they were closed. He was pleading to get his sons prescription. The drive thru is a joke. They dont even get to the window until you bang o it. When i called the last time they tried putting me on hold, well the representative forgot to put me on hold and mute cuz as soon as i was placed on hold ,you can hear them cussing and telling one another "the whole fucking family is calling". I get it customer service can be so stressful but if you know your profession is going to face challenges ,dealing withbpeoples health and drugs ,then dont work at a job that deals with that. Very unprofession. My oppinion ,if you want to find out what unprofessional service is, then by all means go to this location. e read more

CVS Pharmacy - Time of on hold - Drugstores Near Me - SPRING VALLEY, California

Let me start by saying I can't stand big chain pharmacies. I use a little mom and pop pharmacy in El Cajon frequently. At a CVS or Walgreens you never seem to get personal service of any quality. The lines are usually insanely long and the staff too busy to really help anyone. Now, this particular CVS? Fantastic! I can't even believe I'm saying this about a CVS, but I couldn't be happier with this store. The pharmacists and techs are all very personable and friendly. After only a few times in the store the pharmacist actually remembers me. They are never really busy to where you have to stand in that stupid line for 45 minutes just to pick up your meds. The store is brand new so it is very clean and modern. Of course your prices are higher for average items bc it is a chain drugstore. That's not news. But if you do need something there's a good chance they will have it. It's a pretty big store with a lot of cool products actually. Look for the sales so you don't feel like you have overpaid. Two pints of Ben and Jerry's for $6! If you live in the Casa de Oro/Spring Valley area and need a pharmacy, you won't be disappointed with this CVS. (The rest of them are still terrible.) read more

The front of the stores customer service is spectacular, however the pharmacy here is by far the worst phones constantly not working, constant run around just to get your prescription back and forth calling to the pharmacy and my doctors office . Came in 3 times within a week and a half for prenatal medication and got the run around each time finally got fed up and called drs office to have it sent to a different pharmacy medicine ready within a hour I honestly don't understand why it was so difficult for this pharmacy to do the same I will NEVER EVER return to this pharmacy after always getting my medications here. HIGHLY disappointed read more

I'm totally in love with this CVS! Let's start with the makeup aisle, which is one of my major reasons for going to CVS or Walgreens. Their makeup aisle blew my mind away, they have a greeeaaattttt selection of different makeup brands and the prices are really affordable and they also have great sales going on. The size of this CVS is hugeee ,very clean and also well organized, the customer service is amazing and very helpful. The parking lot is quite huge, so you won't have an issue finding a parking spot. Totally love this location and will definitely come back here. read more

Appointment was at 9:30. It's 1020 now. Still waiting for covid shot. Seem very disorganized. Don't know why they are taking so long since it's not busy. Not to mention I made an appointment for 9:30. They don't seem to honor appointment times. Going to another pharmacy since this is not the first I've encounter waits of 90+ minutes as I write this. read more

It was hellish just to get my prescription over here. It's been a week of getting bounced like a ball from CVS to my doctor's clinic. My doctor's office keep on faxing the prescription to them, and they keep on telling me my prescription is not there. It's been a full week since I tried to have my prescription sent over to them, and I'm now out of medication. They eventually admitted in the end that their fax machine has been acting up. What the heck?! Maybe you guys should get fax machine fixed so you can get new prescriptions. Do you not want more business by getting new prescriptions? How the heck does your patients get their medications then if your fax machine is not working?! The pharmacists who answer the phone are not very nice as well. They don't get that I wait for up to an hour just to talk to someone. If Rite Aid did not stop having the exact brand of medication I use, I won't even bother with this pharmacy who has a severe lack of customer service. I even had to wait on the phone while working in my office, risking being reprimanded, just to talk to someone. And I still don't have my medication. Thanks CVS Spring Valley for being so horrible. Wait until you guys lose all your customers for being so NOT helpful. read more

I would love to acknowledge a young middle eastern pharmacist with a short hair, very nice cute and professional for helping me starting from drop off, filling and ringing me up at the register..not sure her name either Ailet or Ialet.. All the other staff are nice and I recommend this CVS more than any other pharmacy. Always fast and responsible, Haley the manager is awesome and I'm impressed by this store. read more
