    My scheduled covid test for Sunday at 9:30 AM.
    Nicole M.

    I never imagined feeling the need to write a review about a pharmacy, but the service I received this morning needs to be shared. Yesterday I scheduled a PCR covid test and the soonest available day/time was at this Walgreens. I scheduled a drive through test for today at 9:30 AM. When I show up at 9:30 AM, the lights are off inside the pharmacy and the shade was lowered. I waited about 10 minutes then had a feeling something was wrong so I checked the hours online and it said the pharmacy didn't open until 10:00 AM on Sundays. I thought it was unusual that the online system allowed me to schedule a 9:30 appointment but it wasn't a big deal and I decided to wait. I sat at the window in my car for 30 minutes until they opened at 10:00. After they opened, someone came to the window and asked how they could help me, I explained that I had a 9:30 appointment but didn't realize they weren't open until 10:00. He said, yes we don't open until 10 and asked me to hold on a few seconds. He then comes back to the window and informs me that since my appointment was at 9:30 and it is now after 10:00, he can't help me because he has other customers to tend to and if I wanted to be seen, I had to come back at 2:00. I was a little surprised by his response. I explained to him that I understand that it isn't his fault that the computer let me schedule an appointment for 9:30 when they open at 10:00 but it isn't my fault either and it isn't right that I was being sent away after scheduling an appointment, showing up at my scheduled time, and waiting 30 minutes to be seen. He insisted that he couldn't help me and I needed to come back at 2:00 if I wanted to be helped. After driving away, I called to speak to the pharmacy manager to voice my concerns about the fact that if the pharmacy opens at 10:00 on Sundays, that means the online system is allowing patients to schedule 9:30 and 9:45 drive through covid tests every week and I wanted to make sure they were aware of that. I also wanted to make sure that if I came back at 2:00 without technically having a scheduled appointment, that I wouldn't be turned away like I had earlier in the morning. After being on hold for over 20 minutes, I gave up. It wasn't worth my time. Ultimately, I found somewhere else to get my test. I've worked in retail for 10 years. I don't agree with the statement "the customer is always right" but there is absolutely a wrong way to treat a customer and that was the treatment I received this morning. The Walgreens pharmacy of Oceanside clearly does not care about how they treat their customers nor do they answer their phones. And if they do care, the behavior of their employees does not reflect those values and better training needs to be implemented. Such a shame, I will not be returning.

    They advertise their sales items on-line, but when you actually come in, the prices are much higher...

    I'm surprised by all these bad reviews... this is the cvs I've been going to my whole life and I've…read morenot really had any problems... it's just a CVS. When it comes to the pharmacy, I've only had nice experiences with them. The male pharmacist is always super nice and helpful. Maybe here and there the photo machine prints funny. My meds take a few days to be delivered because it's not in stock and hard to get. It's frustrating, but I know it's not their fault, it's a common problem. They also always return my calls and inquiries. I would give this location 4.5 stars

    I had an extremely frustrating and disappointing experience at the CVS Pharmacy located at 598…read moreMerrick Road in Rockville Centre. Earlier today, my doctor sent in three prescriptions. When I checked my patient portal, only two appeared to be available at this CVS location. Unfortunately, this has become a recurring issue, as this pharmacy frequently seems to be out of stock of commonly prescribed medications. After leaving my doctor's office, I transferred my prescriptions to another CVS location because I wanted to ensure all three could be filled together. Shortly afterward, I received a call back from a gentleman at the Rockville Centre CVS who informed me that although two prescriptions had been canceled, he was able to retrieve them and told me to come to the store to have them filled. I confirmed the address with him and drove there. Upon arrival, I approached the pharmacy counter and provided my information to a young woman working there. She briefly checked and immediately told me, "We don't have anything for you." I explained that someone from that very pharmacy had called me and instructed me to come in because my prescriptions could be filled. She checked again and simply stated there was nothing they could do. She then walked away while I was still speaking. What was most upsetting was not the prescription issue itself, but the complete lack of customer service. At no point did she attempt to investigate what had happened, contact another CVS location, locate where my prescriptions may have been transferred, or offer any explanation. Her tone was dismissive, short, and rude. I felt as though she simply wanted me to leave. A pharmacist who appeared from behind the counter ignored my concerns entirely and began assisting another customer when I questioned the way I was being spoken to. When I requested a manager's name or ownership information, I was told to "go online and call corporate." I then went to the front store manager for assistance. He walked back to the pharmacy with me and requested information on my behalf. At that point, Pharmacist Umar reportedly shouted from across the pharmacy, "That's all we have. Tell her to call corporate. We're not giving her any information." I was shocked by the lack of professionalism. I felt dismissed, misunderstood, disrespected, and treated as though my concerns did not matter. To make matters worse, while I was standing there, I overheard the same employee offering another customer assistance with transferring prescriptions to their location. When I asked why that same courtesy wasn't extended to me, I received no meaningful response. After leaving upset and confused, I visited another CVS location. The staff there quickly located my prescription, explained what had happened, transferred it appropriately, and filled it without issue. The entire situation could have been resolved in minutes had someone at the Rockville Centre location been willing to listen and help. No customer should be treated this way when trying to obtain prescribed medication. I expect better communication, professionalism, and basic courtesy from a pharmacy entrusted with people's healthcare needs.
