    If I could give zero stars, I would. A trip to my local CVS is worse than getting a cavity filled…read morewithout novacaine. It is ALWAYS something, always incredibly frustrating. The long lines, the wasted trips because they tell you your medication is ready but when you go to pick it up "it's not on the shelf even though our system said it was" (happened twice), the computer system that goes down with "no ETA" when it will be fixed, the irritating phone tree and the half hour plus waits on hold before hanging up out of sheer frustration. Medications are too important to be this unreliable! Some of their people are ok. I feel sorry for them all. Because if CVS treats their longtime (30+ yrs) customers like this, I can't imagine how they treat their employees. Just a horrible place to do business with. I'm done.

    I wish I could give them 0 stars. The CVS on east Washington is horrible. I used to go there all…read morethe time to pick up birth control which I take for my extremely painful cramps but the last few times the pharmacist REFUSED to give them to me. When I talked to my doctor they said they had a year's worth of refills and didn't understand why they wouldn't give me my prescription. Do NOT go here to pick up prescriptions because they will make it a huge hassle. Very disappointed because for the last 10 years this has not been a problem. I'm not sure if the pharmacist doesn't know how to do their job or if they're genuinely just trying to give you a hard time.

    I am writing this review after an extremely frustrating experience at this CVS. On February 16,…read more2026, shortly after moving from Massachusetts to California, I visited this location to transfer a prescription from a CVS in Massachusetts, a process that should have been straightforward. Because the prescription had expired, I contacted my provider in Boston, who promptly sent a new prescription to CVS in Massachusetts which had to be transferred here in CA. I spent nearly four hours at this pharmacy, during which staff repeatedly gave me incorrect information, claiming that "laws and restrictions" prevented the transfer. This was not true and appeared to mask an inability to process the transfer correctly in their system. When I contacted the CVS in Somerville, MA, they confirmed the prescription had already been transferred to this CVS on Mendocino Ave, CA. A nearby CVS also confirmed they could not assist because the prescription was stuck in this store's queue. Having run out of this medication and unable to obtain it due to this delay, I was forced to seek care in the ER. The lack of competence and accountability at this location is alarming, especially given that similar complaints seem common. I have since transferred all my prescriptions to Walgreens.

    It's not the employees, it's the lousy system they have to work with that can't keep customers'…read moreinsurance straight. I switched health plans last year and cleared that up at the time and have gotten refills twice since then. But I go back a third time to pick up what my new doctor just called in and they said there was an insurance issue and to call the insurance company. Again?!? Did the system revert back to my old insurance? I should have asked which insurance they were referring to but I shouldn't have had to. I thought we cleared that up already but here I am without my medication having wasted a trip. Very frustrating and I have had it and I am done with this pharmacy. I thought this would be a convenient location for picking up my prescriptions but apparently not. Nothing but a frustrating hassle.
