    Over the years we have had mixed issues with this pharmacy. But today was a big day. First of all…read moremy husband went in to get his monthly prescription refilled. He started at the pickup desk who told him there were no prescriptions to pick up. So they sent him over to the "consult" counter where a young Asian woman in a white jacket was working. She was not very interested in doing more than the absolute least amount. Told him - no, no prescriptions. And in fact told him there were no prescriptions with any refills. When questioned she told him that the prescription must have been sent to a different store - excuse me??? No, it wasn't. So, she then basically told him to take it up with his doctor. When he got in the car I said, nope, this isnt right. And so we went back in. Started with the "new and improved" check in on the monitor and that person said, no, no prescriptions. And sent us over to stand in line at the Drop Off Counter where Isaiah was working. He gave a little more information, and said that actually the insurance company refused to refill it because it was "too early". Again he asked if it could ave been picked up somewhere else because the pickup date was over 2 weeks away. BUT instead of just sending us away, he stepped away and spoke with Tysin. Tysin came over and found basically the same information Isaiah had given us. But he instructed Isaiah to call the insurance company and ask where and when the prescription had been refilled since we last picked it up at the end of July. And to ask them that since it had not been refilled at this store, could the reverse the refusal and allow them to dispense it. We went to sit down while Isaiah was on the phone with the automated menu......Not even 10 minutes later he called us back, and said that the insurance company admitted it must have been a "glitch in their system" and that they reversed the refusal. And so CVS was able to dispense the refill just a few minutes later. The young Asian woman needs some retraining in customer service, and Isaiah and Tysin should be the ones to show her how it is done! Thank you, Isaiah and Tysin. You showed what customer service really means.

    Easily the worst store in and around Monterey; everyone is completely clueless and irresponsible…read more They haven't been able to order my toothpaste refill in OVER A MONTH. I'm done with these morons; Walgreens, here I come.

    This is only one of two CVS's in the area that made it to the 2.3-2.5 range and was not marked down…read morefor serious customer service issues. (Like fast food that typically sits around 2.0-3.0 stars, CVS usually has a 2-3 star rating and 1-2.2 means it's pretty bad don't go there and 2.3-3 means it's typical. Anything 3+ means it's an exceptional store and few in fast food or pharmacies have such a high score.) We have been going to this CVS for years when visiting this area. Never really had a problem buying waters, sodas, and basic medical supplies or snacks here. Primarily we just purchased convenience items, but this last time we got a prescription refilled. Would have to say that the people at the pharmacy registers did seem less competent than at CVS stores back home. The lady who helped us was ok. She did have to go fetch our prescription as it was not in the bin even though the app said it was ready. We did not have to wait long and this sometimes happens back home. The man at the register next to us seemed far less competent. Per Gemini AI, use the app, have your doc phone in a refill rather than having CVS contact your doctor for a refill, and do not bother calling CVS or waiting for a text, just check the app and/or go into the store and ask to wait for your prescription if your doc already called it nor you had refills left. We used this general procedure and got a refill next day and did not spend a lot of time at the store or have to argue with register people. Their lot is pretty big for the area. Never had trouble getting parking. Just beware that you cannot turn left on Lighthouse, so plan to turn left or right and circle back through the side streets to be able to make a right turn into the lot off of Lighthouse or from the side entrance on Prescott. Would definitely come back here for convenience items and would get prescriptions refilled here again using my own doc and the CVS app rather than relying on CVS to get it done--just go to pick up.

    I am extremely surprised to see the less than average rating for this business as my experience was…read morefar from this. First and most importantly, a 24-HR CVS?!!! Unheard of where I'm from. I understand that many people use Yelp as a vehicle to vent or complain, but it'd be nice to get reviews for the things that they do right. I decided to walk off a big Friday night meal by walking here to help a friend find a particular shampoo brand. I found it and decided to browse the refrigerated drink section to get something for my room. It is only two blocks above Cannery Row if you're staying in the area and a good sized parking lot if you're driving in. As I considered using the self checkout my machine, a kind lady behind the counter offered to check me out and did help me. Thank you, Martha, for making me feel welcome. Our discussion sheds light about the community, both safety wise and friendliness.
