    I am updating my original post to give CVS an extra star! Their new system for picking up…read moreprescriptions is working beautifully. When I got there today at 5pm - a time when there would normally be a looong and slow-moving line - there was no line at all. I checked in on the electronic device, and in no time I was brought my prescription. What an improvement! I am thrilled. .

    Go anywhere else for RXes if you possibly can! This CVS is negligent and recently gave me the WRONG…read moreRX, in addition to not reaching out to my doctor re: another RX. Wrong RX: I picked up a new RX for our dog last week. It was supposed to be extended release, but something looked off. I asked the pharmacist, she said no dismissively, and continued checking me out. I took a better look at the package when I got home and googled the names of the RX. This wasn't the right RX! I reached out to our vet who sent me the original script, which clearly said extended release. I went back today with the original script and the RX and they confirmed they had given me the wrong RX, refunded me with a gift card, then filled the correct RX. They agreed it was incredibly dangerous for pharmacists to give out the wrong RXes and negligent of that pharmacist and no one else to catch what could have been a really awful, more complicated issue. Not reaching out to doctor re: RX: My birth control was showing up as not covered by insurance. I sent a message through the app to ask what was wrong and spoke to someone, who assured me they would reach out to my doctor. I checked the app a few more times and nothing changed, then got an awful, painful period which required pain meds to manage daily life (and why I'm on this RX!). I sent another message yesterday to find out what the status was and explain I need the RX. Michael called back and when I explained my problem - and why I was frustrated - proceeded to spend several minutes lecturing me on respect, it's a Monday morning, he didn't need to tolerate this, and on and on. He was angry, repetitive, and just kept going. I asked if he was done, explained again I had been waiting for follow up and had to call to do that since I had heard nothing and already spent one cycle in pain. He explained they reached out to my doctor and heard nothing, and weren't obligated to update me when they hadn't heard. I said I would call them and find out what's up. After 3 calls with my doctor in 24 hours, they've confirmed several ways this CVS DID NOT reach out in any way or at any time regarding: my RX. I explained the situation to the nurse and she resolved it within 24 hours. She also confirmed with their answering service and electronic records that CVS hadn't reached out in any way. I reported both of these examples of negligence to Dawit, who I spoke to today. He agreed both were unacceptable and shouldn't have happened, in addition to noting Michael is new and unprofessional. I am going to find another pharmacy again, but want to urge others to 1) check your RXs to make sure you get the right meds, 2) follow up when you don't hear back bc they don't call doctors re: RXs, and 3) avoid Michael for his unprofessionalism! They will really hurt more people in this pharmacy continues to operate so negligently and dangerously, with no regard or care for the patients they purport to help!

I hope to come here inefay with my family to pick up items I like what I used to as a teen Organic Jams candies cookies and sidas . This is truly an amazing place with good staff there . Its nice to see it still thriving after so many years . What happened during the Covid Pandemic it was unlawful inexcusable unprofessional Reprehensible irresponsible, Disrespectful, Discriminating , And down right wrong in this day and age . Ever since the pandemic we have a chance to prove we are the better men. We have a chance to prove ir again by coming back as Americans and communities again to guve them the business they once agajn deserve to support their hard working staff and more and the business tgat has been nice to all od us . The Kensington Pharmacy has a friendly family and community oriented atmosphere to come too . It as all we could want .

If yoy l9ve this place as I do , This place is for you. Please give business to this place once agajn . We all look forward to seeing you all there very soon once again .
