This CVS is in a super convenient location, and for that reason alone, I've stopped by more times than I can count. Whether it's picking up prescriptions, grabbing a quick snack, or running an errand, it's great to have a pharmacy right in the neighborhood. That said, the experience is often tainted by the constant presence of panhandlers right outside the entrance. I'm a bleeding heart, I always want to help, but there's a time and place, and today wasn't it. I came in with the flu, just trying to get my prescription, and was approached several times before I even got through the door. I've started going to other CVS locations farther away just to avoid being approached. It's disappointing, because this store is so convenient, but at some point, you just want to run a simple errand. I also really hope the city can step up and do more to take care of those in need. It doesn't seem like Houston is doing much to help these people and is actually stopping those trying to help. read more

Horrible service every time . The workers are no where to be found. Outside of the pharmacy area read more

CVS Pharmacy - Drugstores Near Me - Houston, Texas

I popped in to CVS to grab a few things for my vacation. Five of the eight items were locked up behind glass and key. i had to search the store for an employee to assist me. to only get one of the items between lock and glass. I refused to buy all that I needed because it's such a hassle. How uncomfortable they are making the customers feel. Especially in a day when we like to read labels. Who wants to shop with someone watching every move they make and opening their cases T our whim while we decide what we want to purchase. This is absurd. There's got to be a better way to manage shoplifting. Do these measures really make a difference to CVS's bottom line ? The net after the expense of the glass cases, the installation cost, and the lost customers because 1) customers don't want to ask, or 2) they don't want to go searching for someone, or 3) they simply want to be left alone so they can shop leisurely. No wonder everybody is shopping on Amazon. read more

Seniat the pharmacist was so helpful! I will come back as long as she still works here. Every other worker I have ran into at the pharmacy has been rude and not helpful. Frankly I'm shocked the place even runs with most of the employees you have, but not her. She needs a raise asap! read more

Piss poor attitudes. Dirty store. Items out of stock. Largely unattended. Get it together CVS.

I thought I was doing myself a favor by leaving Walgreens & going to CVS. They are both jokes!!! POOR customer service. You can NEVER get a live person on the phone. One has NO idea what the other one is doing. You leave a message, because you have NO choice but to do so & NO one calls you back. Since, we're referring to a pharmacy that means medication. (which equates to we're either sick & not feeling well or it's necessary to maintain good health.) Why is it so difficult to get good customer service nowadays? Why can't we get a live person on the phone. Why does everyone in the pharmacy pretend to be so busy that they can't even acknowledge you standing there? What happened to servicing your customer? read more

CVS is a terrible company I recently took a survey and was to receive a Health and Wellness kit. I took the survey and was charged $11 for shipping and handling. I received another email to take another survey and they wanted $9.95 for shipping and handling. I called the corporate office the first rep said to call the insurance co. and hung up on me. I called the insurance co. and she said it is for CVS and not insurance co. She connected me to CVS corporate office where I am told it is a scam and not CVS problem. They don't care that their name and logo are being used in a scam and do not feel that they should warn their customers that this scam is going on. Like the rep said not their problem. I asked if he shouldn't warn people all he said is it is not CVS. Be very careful when dealing with this company. read more

As the Walgreens pharmacy on Old Spanish Trail has closed, I tried to transfer my prescriptions to the CVS pharmacy across the street at 3811 OST. I walked into that CVS a month ago, and they had me fill out a paper form. One month later, my prescriptions are not transferred. So today I went online and tried to follow the process of transferring prescriptions from there. Which did not work, all I seem to get are "404 errors" or blank screens. I tried both Chrome and Firefox, same results. I can login to my account (created last month), but no prescriptions show up, and when I click on transfer I get either 404 (Chrome) or a non-responsive blank page (Firefox). Next, I tried calling the 800 number for CVS. And I wasted several minutes of my time with a non-English speaker whom I could not understand. ON EDIT: I should also mention that I tried to send email to customer service through their web site, and that also failed. read more

CVS? More like POS. These guys give a new meaning to going "lights out" for their customers. The customer service at this CVS is some of the worst at any pharmacy I've ever been to anywhere in the world. I'm sorry to say it but they really need to get their act together when it comes to treating their customers. Not sure which CVS the other reviewers are going to, perhaps it has gone way downhill sort of like music in general. They tend to close really early (before closing time, way before) and often will shut off their lights while people are actually in the store. I've only been here about 3 times within the last hour of being open, and that's happened to me twice. It's happened to Barbie also when she wasn't with me. The employees are confrontational and extremely rude. I would go to any other Pharmacy in the area over this one. read more

Lazy. For the most part. It's self service here and never customer service. Have your doctor call... no you need to call. Just laziness, if I was lazy at work I'd get fired. Maybe this store wouldn't be such a dumpster fire if they had a staff that appreciated the fact that they have a job. read more

Pharmacy is abysmal. Never received my medication. Location feels sketchy too. I would avoid this place.

cvs advertise that they have covid tests but don't say they are not refundable. I had covid and asked a friend to pick up a 2 pac, he instead picked up 2 tests packs nearly $60. I immediately took the unopened back because this was 2 much money, they tell me no refunds but could not give a reason yet they have employees soliciting hard for monetary donations. from now on I will pass. read more

so as a paying customer... i asked the pharmacist what the code to the bathroom was and he told me I have to get it from the cashier at the front which is odd lol but whatever, I asked the cashier and he told me that the restrooms are out of order. i get it when you're trying to keep the homeless out but I'm here getting stuff and spending money and needed to piss and I'm getting lied to by your employee saying the bathrooms are out of order when the pharmacist is telling me that I can get the code from the front. Clearly they aren't that out of order. this is a trash hole cvs read more

We wanted to use the restroom and the lady said the restroom was out of order for three years. So I asked where she used the restroom then if she works here. No one can hold their bladder for an 8 shift? And she just ignored me. The hospitality here is spiteful. read more

I don't know why rating is so low at this CVS location. Well, this is just a place for you to pick up snacks, prescription, necessity needs like shampoo etc. Why make is sound like this place is so eeeww. I mean I don't care about the bathroom here. I probably will never get to use it lol. So came here just to browse around. Its ok. Just got a pack of gum and that's it. Parking lot is huge read more

CVS Pharmacy - Drugstores Near Me - Houston, Texas

CVS has started a system where you can only leave a voicemail and not actually talk to anyone. So, when they wont even talk to you new Rx and you are about to run out of meds, because they did not send my entire profile to the new Rx. You have no choice but to take time out of your day to get someone else to actually do their job. It will be a cold day in hell before I EVER use another CVS. Terrible customer service to rely only on automation. read more

Drugstore itself is clean, organized, and well-stocked. The pharmacist and pharmacy technicians are professional and helpful - only problem is the wait times at the drive through can be pretty horrible. I've waited 20+ minutes before in the drive through. This is probably due to being short staffed, so hopefully this problem can be fixed soon. Easy to take COVID tests here, at the clinic or with take-home tests. Easy to get your flu shot. It's been wonderful to have this place in walking distance! read more

This is the worst pharmacy in the history of man. 1) they will not pick up the phone. Don't bother calling. We have lived by this pharmacy for two years and they have never once picked up the phone. 2) they do not fill your prescription when it is sent by the doctor. They wait for you to get there and you have to explain to them what you are picking up. It is always a hassle. Then they tell you that they will text you when you're prescription is ready and they never will. Then you will go back and they will tell you the same thing. More waiting. 3) Each car is at the window for atleast 10-15 mins. We have waited in line for an hour more than once. That with only 3-4 cars ahead of us. In conclusion just go to another pharmacy. Save yourself time and frustration. read more

CVS Pharmacy - Bullet holes in window. - Drugstores Near Me - Houston, Texas

I'm not the type of person to review places but I have to say, this is one of the most hostile environments I've even walked into. The lady at the front desk yelled at a customer bc he changed his mind on what he wanted. Obviously it can be annoying but miss girls got a serious attitude problem. If ur looking for friendly people this is not ur place, get prepared for rude stares and walking on eggshells not to piss the girl up front off. read more

Came in to get a simple CVS BRAND Nasal Decongestant and the Pharmacist didn't have a clue what I was talking about. I asked her the difference between the blue and red box. No clue. Purchased to just look up myself or go to another location. Came in full military service uniform, so others noticed. And she was just blew me off when asking for assistance. read more

Took almost an hour to get a PCR covid test. First of all, if you're only allowing covid testing in the first drive thru line, you should have a sign stating that. The pharmacist handed the covid test bag and just told me to place the bag in the drop bin when done and left. No walk through of what to do. Highly advise scheduling an appointment elsewhere unless you want to wait a long time with no direction. read more

Wow! I see why this place has horrible reviews. The staff sucks. Nobody wants to do the right thing. Everyone gives the wrong answers, no one knows how to communicate. It is the worst experience I have had. They just need to shut this place down and everyone go to the Walgreens down the street. read more

This pharmacy is a joke. I waited for one hour in line to pick up a RX and I was the only one in line.

I was able to take and have passport photos printed in less than 10 minutes! The associate was so kind and super helpful! I definitely would recommend this CVS for photo services. read more

The worst customer service from a new crew of employees. manager Jonathan didn't even take a moment to listen to my concerns about numerous piles of broken glass in the parking lot. trash all around the building. No one knew who their district manager was (I'm so sure they did) but I was polite and waited for the manager to speak to me which he didn't have the professionalism to respond to. I've frequented this location for 10 years. I'll take my future business to Wallgreens read more

Lemme warn some folks: This is not a parking lot for Cyclone Anaya, Ferrago or The Fish patrons. You will get towed. Consider yourself warned! If you do happen to frequent this CVS as a customer as I do--for a late night beer run or just out of sheer boredom--then you'll leave happy ... well, kinda. It's almost comical to witness people *running* to CVS come that midnight/1am mark. Even the staff from the nearby eateries are sprinting to the make the State's last call. The lines can get long, so don't wait til it's too late. You also may find a person outside claiming to have missed the Metro: "Look ma'am. Here's my ticket. I just need ten dollars to get back home." Not sure it they're telling the truth--your call--but, I prefer to just buy them a bottled water. The upsides to this CVS is that the pharmacy always has my goods ready to go when they say they'll be ready for pick up, and all of the CVS staff are friendly ... even the check out folk who are in just as much of a hurry to get you out the door as you are. Note that they don't give ATM/debit cash back at the register! But for the Wamu/Chase Bank clients, inside awaits your ATM. And don't forget to use your CVS card for added savings! read more

You will wait in line here. Regardless of what time it is. I don't know what it is, but they always seem to force one. In general I like living across the street from this place though as you can typically get the little things in life right away instead of waiting for your next trip out into the world. Not to mention they fill the void for late night beer. I don't care much for their Pharmacy techs. They always talk down to you and I could do without their attitudes, as 90% of the time they aren't telling us anything we don't already realize. Just not real helpful... Get over yourselves.. To that end, the pharmacists are all very pleasant and helpful, you just have to kick the tech to the side and go straight to them. Review over. read more

BEWARE! Don't waste your time using the pharmacy here on W. Grey. Techs are incompetent ( or on crack) & have screwed up my simple prescription 2 out of 3 times coming here. Apparently service has gone down hill since a couple of years ago of good yelp reviews which brought me here initially. I call in advance, or used automated system, punch in RX # and for some reason they still get the quantity/ dosage wrong. In another instance, the tech Mis-read the prescription?! When I complained to pharmacist, the reply was arrogant, non apologetic although it was clearly sloppiness on pharmacy staff end. I'm taking my business elsewhere. read more

I mostly go here because there's a Chase ATM. Usually, there's going to be some bum or some pretend bum right outside the door or by the DVD machine begging you for money. Dude, I've seen you with that crutch and cast for 3 years now. The staff is here is always nice to me but I don't know why there is always a long line every time I go in here at night other than simply they are understaffed. read more

Service is slow, no clear line system, only one worker in the whole store, tried three different days to get a reprint for a receipt and absolutely no luck. I had to return the items at a different store because they're just that inefficient. Literally the worst CVS I have ever been to. Will not come again. read more

If i could give 0 stars i really would. I'm the least karen-ey person ever as I've done my fair share of working in customer service, but this is by far the worst CVS I've ever been to. Long story short they lost a very expensive and very important time conscious prescription of mine, and refused to take responsibility for it. I hounded and hounded with receipts and tracking numbers, but they would not assume responsibilty until after i got the cvs specialty pharmacy involved. Magically my time sensitive prescription was found after looking like i asked them to in the first place. This irresponsible hiccup interrupted my daily dosage and put me at serious risk. Never let these fools handle your prescription! read more

Worst pharmacy ever. My phone calls never go through or I hear a recording saying "sorry the number is busy". It's impossible to get ahold of anyone there. read more

I hope you don't need any of your prescriptions refilled quickly, because waiting for these people to answer the phone; one will grow roots. Have never had such horrid experience at cvs before, until this one became my neighborhood cvs pharmacy. Switching ASAP read more

I work in the Heights frequently. I'm on a tight schedule and stopped by to use the bathroom and get some Gatorade. I was told the bathrooms were all out of order. Again. They have been "out of order" for almost a year now. I'm not buying it. I use CVS for all my prescriptions and other health needs. Not anymore. I recommend driving a few miles and going absolutely anywhere else. Honesty and customer service go a long way, and the employees at this location aren't either. read more

I saw the low yelp rating and got a little worried. Because when you are selecting a pharmacy, its kind of sketchy to see one with 1 star rating. You think that they will mess up your prescription. This pharmacy was totally fine and up to standards. Handled my needs perfectly. 5 stars read more

Average CVS store. Nothing special. Convenient parking. Reasonably friendly staff. Came in for spice drops candy, they had them, I bought them, in the story. read more

Slowest service from the pharmacy. Definitely did not seem knowledgeable. Phone hold times 15 min and up. Only to be put on hold numerous times while on the line. read more

I've never had a problem at this CVS! I always expect to wait in line for at least 10-15 minutes to pick up a prescription and have never had to wait longer than that!! The employees are nice and I've never had any problems :) read more

THE WORST PHARMACY I'VE EVER BEEN TO. Employees are so lazy and painfully slow, it takes them 20+ minutes to answer my phone calls (if they answer at all) and when I go in to pick up a prescription they'll ignore for a solid 5 minutes before speaking to me. I'm going somewhere else and you should too. Not to mention that it takes them several days to fill a simple prescription. Other places can fill it in 20 minutes. read more

Bad customer service, restrooms are closed even to customers. Per cashier he said that they are closed because he has to clean them. That is his job. read more
