COVID-19 BOOSTER EXPERIENCE REVIEW…read more My appointment was scheduled online through walgreens.com by my partner. We went to Walgreens together on the same day for our boosters. This was our first time getting a vaccination at Walgreen, let alone at a pharmacy. Here's the deal - A few days before your appointment, you get a confirmation email sent to the address used when you scheduled. The email contains your confirmation number for the appointment and instructions on what to do before and on the day of your appointment (get there 15 minutes earlier, wear a short sleeve shirt, bring your ID and vaccination card, and fill out a screening form). WHEN YOU GET TO THE STORE: - Walk to the back right of the store to the pharmacy. The pharmacy line starts along the wall to the right. (I saw some people take a seat without getting in line first thinking it's a different process for vaccines - it's not, so get in line to be seen and let them know you are there for a shot). - Have with you your government ID card, a copy or the actual vaccination card (which you will give to them to verify and later mark with proof of your visit/shot), and your medical/pharmacy insurance cards in case they need it (if you're not an already Walgreens customer in the system or your med/rx info needs updating). WHEN YOU GET TO THE PHARMACY COUNTER: - 1st time at counter: You'll give your 1) confirmation number from the email 2) your last name and birth date. They'll take your vaccination card from you, and then ask you to take a seat and wait for your name to be called. They are taking the vaccination card to verify the information before continuing with intake. - 2nd time at the counter: After they call your name to come to the counter, they'll hand you over a clipboard with the vaccination screening form (questions about symptoms, allergies to medicine, etc) to fill out. Take a seat and fill out the form, then hand it back to them when finished. You'll take a seat again and wait for your name to be called again. - 3rd time at the counter: They'll call your name and walk you over to the enclosed area where they administer vaccines. It's a small booth with high wall partitions and a door that closes. I noticed store noise is muffled and the space was clean. You'll take a seat, and the staff associate will have the needle, alcohol pad, and bandage for you. It's very quick. Then you're done.** ** you're supposed to wait 15 minutes after the shot to make sure no weird/sudden side effects, so I recommend taking a seat again for that time just in case you leave the store and something happens. Err on the side of caution. IN SHORT: Overall, an easy and fairly smooth process. My advice would be to schedule your appointment when the pharmacy would be less busy because it's one wait line, so you're in line with people getting their prescriptions and walk-ins, so your TOTAL WAIT TIME WILL VARY - even though you have an appointment time - depending on how busy it is. For example, I was through within about 25-30 minutes. My partner was there for an hour. Our appointments were separated by 15 minutes, but there was an influx of customers who came in when he was just getting in queue.

I think we spent more time circling the block trying to find a parking spot (either on the street…read moreor in the store's small lot) than actually in the store itself. We were able to find what we wanted - eventually. The layout isn't really obvious, and the signs weren't always easy to see. The carpeting looks like it could use a good cleaning too. But this is still probably the best place to visit in the area for your pharmaceutical and convenience needs.

I used to love coming to CVS because I genuinely find it fun to shop for toiletries. However, later…read morein life I discovered that CVS prices are super steep compared to Target and Walmart. They use a high/low pricing model so you should really only shop here if the specific items you want are on sale or if you are using coupons. We are all familiar with the running jokes about how ridiculously long CVS receipts are but seriously, don't sleep on the coupons! Yes, it's annoying to keep track of them and to have to use them for very specific brands or categories of items, but a deal is a deal! I have no shame checking out, getting a receipt with coupons, and turning right back around to buy the items with the coupons I just earned. I came to this particular location because, you guessed it, my boyfriend had Extra Care Bucks coupons. It's a pretty large store so I believe they have a good selection of products, however, I spent most of my time in the snack and food aisles so I can't say for certain. They have a decent sized parking lot so you won't have an issue finding a spot. I noted a sign outside that said they offer flu and COVID-19 vaccines. Initially some of our coupons didn't work because we used the wrong CVS card number. The cashier was a bit uncertain at first but he eventually sorted everything out. He ended up having to re-scan all of our items which I'm sure he found annoying but he was still pretty patient and friendly. Can't expect much more from your neighborhood convenience store.

Another day, another mistake at CVS pharmacy. Will this ever end? We know how busy pharmacies are,…read morethe level of stress they have with impatient customers, never ending phone calls, drive thru - but making dispensing errors could cause a person serious harm or death.

Pharmacist is on a weird power trip. Refused to accept faxed prescription transfer order, which is industry standard. Instead demanded a phone call, during their hours which closes at 5 pm. And, was a real smug jerk about it. Don't go here. If they can't fill your prescription due to lack of stock, they'll hold it hostage until this guy get things his way.

Pharmacies these days don't sell medicine alone and with a lot of competition out there, are forced…read moreto sell anything under the sun. Not far away is the time that they would start selling vegetables too. This CVS location is no exception too. They have a variety of items that they sell, right from medicines to nail polishes, candies to gift items. I haven't tried their photo service yet but they have a neat section on the far end of the store. I intended to write this review for the kind consultation that the pharmacists at this location, offer. In specific to Michelle the pharmacist, who attended to my wife's cold couple of times. She does not send directions from being inside the pharmacy, but steps out of it to first understand what the problem is, take us to the right aisle and gives us the right medicine to take home. The pharmacy as such is clean and all the items are stacked to perfection. The checkout is also fairly easier with staff that are kind and smiling. Not to miss, they have a spacious parking lot.
