Not just the Pharmacist Team, but the two guys at check out, Hudson and Connor, are also very helpful with finding items and good conversation at the register. Their selection of products for all aches and pains is ideal, and their specialty home care and mobility products is life saving. Now adays we tend to only shop online for these products, but it's nice to have these folks to talk to and get all our questions answered in person. Their pricing seems pretty competitive with online or other drug stores, and it's their personal touch that is invaluable.

It was my first time picking up from this pharmacy. She kept repeating "we don't have that kind of medicine here" but wouldn't provide any more of an explanation. She spoke In a very disrespectful tone that I don't think was necessary. I was unable to pick up my prescription or receive any help from the front desk. The girl was difficult to communicate and the customer service was awful and the experience was a waste of my time. I would not recommend this place as a pharmacy choice to others

Even inexpensive items were locked up, not just cold medicines. The two cashiers were friendly. Not particularly helpful, but nice at least to each other. Seriously I had no problem with the cashiers. It was just creepy to be in Santa Barbara and feel like there could be looting any minute. It's not like I was downtown Los Angeles. But then I went next door to a jewelry store and he had a blockade at his door, a sign that insisted I show my ID and take off hat and sunglasses so it's not just CVS it's the area.

Happy holidays!!!…read more 2night the review is 5/5 First and foremost, I want to give a very loud shout out to an individual by the name of Kerim that helped me this evening, through cvs pharmacy and as a patient it makes all the difference when the pharmacist is kind enough and collected enough to do their due diligence.... Understanding that this is a high stress job, it sometimes helps to have empathy and compassion for our pharmacists, trying to get their jobs done dealing with challenges and obstacles, and in my certain circumstance, a computer glitch with the system that caused everything to look completely wrong, and it was very stressful, stressful for me, and although I was stressing, Kerim Outstanding bedside manner, made me feel instantly, like I was in good hands, and his choice to actually go the distance and investigate the issue , caused me to feel like he was taking what was causing this issue seriously, as we all depend on certain medication's. It's scary when there's an issue that doesn't make sense, and I felt fear, after referencing my doctor, and figuring out that the problem was not on his end,Karen went the distance which made me feel, cared for and valued as a customer. THANK YOU‍ these are the kind of folks that keep me coming back to the Cvs, and I'm so grateful I received an individual equipped with the compassionate care giving qualities, I needed, and he chose to do a little bit of investigating, and found the glitch and fixed the issue and made my holiday.... It's people like Kerim, that keep me coming back to this specific Cvs. Just wanted to give a big thank you and a positive review because the Cvs deserves it because of employees like Kerim and others... a little kindness and care can go along way. Hopefully, this specific Cvs can turn around, I have encountered many individuals whom are helpful and kind, and some others that aren't so much, but big shout out to all of those kind, caring people that represent this specific business, I appreciate you.

See my other review where you can see that I take my thrifty ice cream seriously. The person that answered was soo friendly. They said that they had the ice cream to purchase in the frozen food section and also hand served cones. Bingo!!! I asked if they would serve at anytime if I went and they said sure, that as long as the store was open they would serve the ice cream. I went the next morning. Ice cream for breakfast.....yes please!!!!! So many choices, I got two cones for myself, one at a time. Pistachio and Butter Pecan. Smooth. The best!!!! The cashier was so friendly. I told her what had happened to me at another rite aid and how I had come from far....she stated that I was always welcome to get ice cream there. Thanks for such an enjoyable experience. A stroll down memory lane and enjoying thrifty ice cream is priceless!!!!

I used to "pharm" at Rite Aid on the Mesa, but about 4 years ago or so, it seemed there were always…read moreissues with my insurance not covering meds and I'd take the scripts across the street to CVS and there'd be no problem. I switched all my business to CVS. Over the last several years, CVS gets busier and busier and the lines get longer. Meanwhile, Rite Aid has had a major remodel and looks like it's always empty. So, a month ago, I wasn't able to book a same-day appt for a CVS flu shot and since I was up there anyway, I asked if it would be possible to get one. The attendant at the counter told me she'd have to ask the pharmacist and wait. I watched her help the next 2 people in line and then ask the CVS pharmacist. It was easy to read the pharmacist's lips when he spoke to the counter worker. "Who is it?" he asked, adding "we've already got some vaxxers waiting." She indicated my husband and me and he looked over at us and sneered "No" as he looked us up and down like a Studio 54 bouncer. So, we hopped in the car and drove across the street to Rite Aid, where we walked right in and got 2 flu shots without waiting or being sneered at. I'm thinking of switching our pharm biz back to Rite Aid.

The pharmacist is delightful: kind, helpful, with great questions and advice. After years at Walgreens and CVS, with terrible customer service and long lines, I immediately started sending all prescriptions to Herbay. So much better! I even get personal calls from the pharmacist when it's time to refill prescriptions. She has them done within the hour, and there's never any hassle. I cannot recommend this pharmacy enough. This is how a pharmacy should work! Efficient, amazing customer service, and really good people. If you're looking for a pharmacy, choose Herbay. And if you have a pharmacy that isn't terrific, make the switch!
