I want to give a heartfelt thank you to Sujan M. at CVS for helping my husband during a very scary…read moresituation. While my husband was out walking, he suddenly had a low blood sugar episode and almost fainted. He didn't have his phone with him and was trying to find someone who could help him contact his family. Thankfully, he was able to make it to CVS and met Sujan. Sujan immediately recognized that my husband was not feeling well. When my husband told him that his blood sugar was low and he felt like he was going to faint, Sujan quickly found glucose tablets for him, helped him sit down and rest, reassured him, and called me so I could come and help. I am incredibly grateful for Sujan's kindness, patience, and compassion. He was attentive and genuinely cared about helping my husband when he was vulnerable and needed help the most. We have been using this CVS for our prescriptions, and we feel very fortunate to have such a caring employee there. Thank you so much, Sujan M. Your kindness truly made a difference, and we will never forget your help.

Absolutely one of the worst CVS locations for customer service!…read more I asked for some help locating an item and the guy here, I think the manager, acted like he was doing me a big favor, providing any inkling of customer service.

I just waited a total of 40 minutes in line, then at the counter, then waiting for an Rx that was literally in the hand of the guy/pharmacy assistant behind the counter. It was a valid refill but needed to be "cleared", and after I grew tired waiting, I was told there were 40 such prescriptions ahead of me! No apologies, no explanation. I drove back to work, only to receive an automated call as soon as I got to my desk that my "prescription is ready to be picked up"! And now I can look forward to standing in that line again!

My RXs are available without undue delay, and efficiently dispensed. While they did install this year touchtone screens for customer to tap & confirm order details, sometimes customer entry waived when busy and technician enters data to retrieve RXs. I notice sometimes the process changes slightly, with more safeguards added, like showing the customer the packages so they can confirm the RX. The only thing I found a blip was getting the pharmacy hours down. They do differ between weekdays & weekend (10 AM on Sat, 11 AM on Sun), so be sure to check. Yelp notes the store's opening and closing times which differ from pharmacy hours. Would be helpful to post the pharmacy hours, maybe note them in the questions to business. The line on weekend moves pretty quickly so don't be too disheartened when you see people in line.

Especially if there is someone behind you that parked with their rear sticking too far out. We also noticed that despite the large lot size, the parking lot was nearly at capacity even though there did not appear to be very many customers inside the store. This leads us to believe that some people are using their lot while shopping/running errands nearby. We didn't check out much of the store since we were only here for some photo orders. But the cashier was pretty friendly, and we were able to get our orders and leave in fairly good time.

FINAL UPDATE: 4/18/2026…read more I HAVE TRANSFERRED ALL MY PRESCRIPTIONS TO AMAZON PHARMACY. Last week, the pharmacy drive-up window was closed, no one in the pharmacy would answer the phone, a medication refill I ordered was canceled without explanation (happened before). I had my doctor send my scripts to Amazon Pharmacy, and they were delivered to my door in TWO DAYS. This is not an ad for Amazon Pharmacy. I mention this because of the comparative efficiency. Imagine not being able to get life-saving medication because your pharmacy is ignoring calls and canceling medication orders with no explanation. I'm done with this place.

I heaved a sigh of relief...until a minute later I heard a recording, "If you'd like to make a call, please hang up and try again."

There was a bit of a line, but only 1 cashier at the time tending to the customers. When I informed the cashier that I was picking up an online order, I was directed to a white bin located on the outside of the counter to grab my own order. A bit odd, but I guess this store runs their online pickup on an honor system? They have their own decently sized parking lot so parking shouldn't be an issue.
