CVS Pharmacy y más - Location of my shot. - Drugstores Near Me - SAN DIEGO, California

They are renovating they say. But long standing trash litters the entrance, drink cup on the entrance railing...I thought they were closed. I side I was shocked to see freezers STILL with iced-over ice cream inside, not discarded, from when freezers broke down years ago. What the heck. So easy to toss. What an eye sorry and sickening to see. I have to drive to get anything frozen. This is the closest thing to a market in the area. Many new apartment building and we have a poorly maintained CVS by Guillermo who I was told is the Main Manager. This CVS should be torn down and replaced with new. read more

The name of this place should be CVS Pharmacy y menos. Seriously, this place is rough; it needs some serious TLC. They seemed understaffed, as well. Service was painfully slow. It would be worth a short drive to go elsewhere. read more

CVS Pharmacy y más - I hope they are in the middle of a reno; that's the only excuse for this. - Drugstores Near Me - SAN DIEGO, California

On the corner of 4404 El Cajon blvd, SD, CA Very busy CVS; it has its days of messy and tidy aisles. You can find almost anything you need here from household items, medicines, beauty products and seasonal items. They have a pharmacy inside and drive through pharmacy as well. The line can take a while, limited cashiers and staff. This cvs store is very convenient. read more

this CVS is a joke! I went in and they said I'm not allowed in there, because an associate saw me put something in my pocket! I go in there multiple times a week and I always pay! CVS will no longer get my money. I like Walgreens better anyways! fuq this place. read more

This is solely for the pharmacy department! Pharmacy needs big improvement. Today in the pharmacy 9/9/25 Mario was very rude. After waiting 15 minutes in line for my prescriptions he refused to ring me up for an additional item. He lied and said "it's store policy to not ring people up" and that I had to go to the front registers and wait in like again. Even though I conformed with management and it's not store policy. It makes no sense to have people wait in line twice, especially when many of us that come to the pharmacy are ill or recovering from surgeries to pick up our medications, and it is difficult and painful to get around. He was obviously having a bad day but it was still unprofessional and unnecessary, and a lie. read more

My pharmacy went out of business so maybe CVS is a little overwhelmed due to the additional work they've taken on.

Absolutely the worst. Wait forever while the staff gets food ordered in. Tons of staff but barely anyone doing anything and they never process insurance right so you have to go in every time and wait another 10 min. Get a clue! read more

Fix your damn photo machine because I need to print my photos Jo. And you guys are ruining my plans

Very busy pharmacy! Everyone works hard and quickly to tend to patrons and patients. Shout out to Nelson, Pharmacy Technician, for getting my families prescription so quickly. Again, be aware this spot is very busy so expect a little wait and plan accordingly. Highly suggest to download the app on your phone to have your prescriptions ready when you get there! read more

I was waiting for my friend inside CVS on some chairs they have inside and when my friend came we were abt to leave the store and a the cashier got mad a us a screamed at us to never come back to the store. Me and my friend were so confused because we always go in there to buy snacks. read more

I've been using this CVS for 2 years and they have been wonderful! Always timely with my prescriptions which is great as I don't have a car and they are walking distance from my house. The pharmacists and employees are A++! However, they just told me that because my doctor is not located in SD County, they can't fill my prescription! Now I need to choose between my doctor and my pharmacy which is outrageous. I choose CVS because they don't treat me like a drug addict just because I've been on ADHD medication since my teenage years. CVS has always treated me with respect...till now. What I love about CVS has been taken away by ONLY THIS LOCATION (the manager made the decision on this policy change). How can a manager make a policy change that so substantially impacts the health of community members like myself who have relied on CVS for so many years?! That question will likely be litigated in the years to come, but I am so sad to be leaving the wonderful pharmacists and employees that make this CVS special. CVS, you rock, and I beg of you, don't make your customers choose between the doctors that treat them and the pharmacy they love! read more

Their customer service is terrible. You can't get a human being on the telephone, and they think you can run a business using computers. If a human being isn't answering the telephone than they don't care about customer service. I am a retired toxicologist. They once handed me a bag full of hydrocodone, in 2 different dosages, and another for oxycodone. Clearly the pharmacist wasn't reviewing the prescriptions because I use the UCSD specialty pharmacy for my oxycodone prescription, and I have no prescription for hydrocodone. I immediately asked to speak to the pharmacist. I told her I was the director of a toxicology lab so she would know I knew how serious this error was, and I also knew she wasn't doing her job. You can't run a pharmacy like a factory with no quality control. Either hire more staff and do it right, or shut it down before you harm someone. 12 people waiting in line to fill a prescription is unacceptable. If you must close down for lunch, you are under-staffed. This is a profession that requires attention to detail. They don't run it that way. read more

Pharmacy staff have never been anything but helpful. This pharmacy is a little busy but fully staffed. I have to wait just a bit but I keep coming back because the staff is both knowledgable and helpful. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. The pharmacy manager was rude and racist. She is an Asian woman between the age of 25 and 35 who refused to give my cousin pain meds for a broken knee. The emergency room doctor wrote the prescription and the emergency room also sent it over directly. The ER also referred my cousin to an orthopedic surgeon the same week. The prescription was for 8 pills. I told the pharmacy manager (who also is a pharmacist) that there is a disparity in the quality of care when it pertains to Black patients. Blacks patients have longer wait times or denied treatment. In some cases access to certain medications are limited to/ or denied due to the color of our skin. She then laughed in my face and said that that is not true. Well I know it's true because I have worked in the medical industry for 20+ years and we have mandatory medical modules that we have to complete annually. Some of those modules are specifically about the disparities in the healthcare system amongst minorities. The fact that we have to be trained to deal with these discriminatory issues is a huge problem. But what's more troubling is the fact that the CVS PHARMACIST LAUGHED ABOUT IT AND WAS IN COMPLETE DENIAL ABOUT THE DISPARITY IN HEALTHCARE AMONGST BLACK PATIENTS. read more

Covid testing is only available by appointment and not available at this location but I need to go to other CVS to find out, most of them were far away and none of them could do rapid testing. Oh geez CVS, you were so helpful. read more

CVS Pharmacy y más - Hm - Drugstores Near Me - SAN DIEGO, California

I went to go check in for my flu-shot and the Asian pharmacist that was checking me in , was really rude and had a nasty tone to her voice, it seemed like she was screaming at me for a moment. I never experienced this type of customer service while in cvs , I wish I could give this zero stars. read more

Customer service so bad, one of the pharmacist yelled at me for waking in for flu shot at 5pm

This is the most disorganized pharmacy I have ever encountered. I had a simple Prilosec prescription set up for delivery. I have a Carepass which I pay for monthly. It's not connected to my phone number but I have the card number. I went round and round with them at least 5 times trying to get my simple free delivery. All for a $10.49 simple prescription that I ALREADY paid for on the app. They almost charged me for the prescription plus delivery AGAIN! Ridiculous. It's not the first time I've gotten the runaround at this pharmacy. Incredibly disappointing. Their management team needs to get it together. I'll be going elsewhere and oh I guess I'll be picking up the prescription and wait in the endless line they always seem to have. CVS, you lost a long valued customer. read more

If I could give a lower rating I would. Went in for passport photos came out with a head ache. Went to take the photos and the Camera died. Went to process the photos and someone else started another print job that took forever. Went to pay for the photos and the register wasnt working. Poorly managed dont waste your time going to CVS read more

I asked for help they were very helpful I went to different places couldn't get the help that I need it they are very friendly and welcoming you with a smile it's fast and easy to print out your photos The Isles look very clean read more

See all

I got my second Covid-19 vaccine here yesterday (Moderna) but in the moment I couldn't find the words to adequately express my gratitude towards the pharmacy staff that were administering the shots. So I'll give it a try now in the hopes you read this. You are saving lives everyday and you should be so proud of yourselves. You are really making a concrete difference in the world. I imagine that giving shots all day could be rather repetitive and boring, but I hope you know that I think you are doing heroic work even if it is not glamorous. Last night I was feeling feverish and sick, but I had tears of joy and appreciation knowing that in two weeks I will be safe, that I am doing my part to protect the whole community, and that I will soon have improved mental health from being able to resume some normal activities without fear. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. read more

Don't ever stop to shop here especially if you are stopping by from a long drive. Came to shop for groceries and essentials for vacation. While shopping , I had to use the restroom. I went to the restroom and saw someone just left and I had to use a code to get in. I went to the front desk and asked a staff for the code. They wouldn't give it to me and told me it's out of order. They directed me to smart and final next door. As soon as I went to smart and final store, they said the same thing; out of order. I told the cashier where the employees go to the restroom because it seems cvs and their store have restrooms that are out of order. I told her that I'm from out of town and don't know where to go in the area; just stopping by to get some essentials. She finally allowed me to use the restroom. I regretted shopping at CVS; they don't treat their customers right. I don't want to use public restrooms but when nature calls, I have no control. So embarrassing that I'm shopping at CVS and I have to go door to door asking to use their restroom. I shopped at CVS but I have to go to smart and final to use the restroom. Bad service. I wouldn't recommend this CVS branch. Tough luck if you need to use the restroom. read more

Here's my comprehensive review of the CVS store on El Cajon Blvd. Read only if you're thinking about going there. PARKING: Ample, but the lot's in a poorly designed "U" shape. A U, one of my least favorite letters! And, they recently put in a paid parking kiosk. The sign (see photo) said, "First 60 Minutes of parking free." Ok. First of all, who's shopping for 60 minutes at CVS? Secondly, if you are in fact shopping for 60 minutes, please buy a NOTEPAD during your visit so that you can write down a shopping list! 0 Stars for Parking. ITEMS: Whenever I go to this CVS, I find many expired items. Not only food items, but medicine and hygiene products have expired. I can't tell you how many times I've walked out of this store let down because of this. What's even worse, I brought this to the attention of someone, and they said "You shouldn't let the expiration date bother you." -1 Star for Items. STAFF: Friendly enough. They're not aching to help you, but if I were working at CVS, I wouldn't have much motivation either. 0 Stars for staff. MANAGEMENT: The people in charge of running this CVS are really who I have a beef with. They seriously need to do an audit. In addition to the expired items, the lines are frequently long, there are repair issues, and there's no reason a store like this should only have two people running things, which was the case today. The lines got so long, a number of people dropped their things and left cursing. In English AND in Spanish. You've got to be a special kind of numbnuts to piss off both demographics. Not to mention, in a neighborhood like this, you don't want to be vulnerable to robberies. -3 Stars for Management. PHOTO DEPARTMENT: They have kiosks for people to print their pictures, which I don't really have an opinion on. I mean, I haven't printed a photo since the series finale of Growing Pains, so, whatever. If you need to do it, it's there. I went to order a CD from them once, and they lost my order. After the cashier asked me to wait, I waited for a half an hour and no one came to help me. (I wouldn't have waited normally, but I wanted to make this Yelp nice and juicy.) -1 Star for Photo Department. THE PHARMACY Finally, one part of this store that doesn't suck. The people at the Pharmacy were friendly, thorough, and competent. I see a correlation between this and them having college degrees. Well done, pharmacists. They even give you a discount if you don't have insurance. +1 Star for the Pharmacy. Not the best neighborhood, this CVS. You should only come here if it's a matter of life and death. Let's just hope you don't get sick with their expired items. EDIT: Happened to go to this CVS recently. For some reason, their sales tax SAID 7.75%, but charged me 8%. (I did the math when I got home.) Overcharging customers! Channel 9 news was right!! read more

I went to urgent care today due to a cough. The doctor prescribed several drugs and I went straight to this CVS Pharmacy to fill the prescription. At 6:30 pm I was told it would take two hours to fill the prescription. I asked to be called as soon as it was ready and I would come and pick it up. I checked the store hours on Yelp and it said they closed at 10:00 pm. Having received no phone call I went back to the store to pick up my drugs at 9:00 pm. The pharmacy was closed. The rest of the store was open. The only reason this store is in business is due to the pharmacy. The rest is just extra. So tonight, I suffer again with my cough with no relief due to the incompetence of the pharmacist. Had I been told they could not fill this prescription today, I would have gone elsewhere. I will NEVER again use this pharmacy. read more

The gift card won't work in cvs like: google play and amazon. It stole my $300!. If you don't believe just try. I'm not kidding. Really bad!

Beware of the pharmacy! They switched my medications to another generic because they didn't have them in stock. I went in to pick them up and the medications were double the price! It would have been nice for them to tell me when they called to get my insurance information. Extremely frustrating considering I waited in the drive through for 30 minute and then another 20 for rebilling. No respect for peoples time or money. read more

Went here two days in a row, they have a small parking lot, but its never full. This place doesn't seem to ever be packed, which is good thing. Everything in here is very standard. Good enough place to grab what you need and get out. Never long lines, prices aren't too bad. $35 Hennessy bottles with card. read more

If you value your time and sanity, use Alto Pharmacy instead. Every time I've come to pick up there's some sort of issue and I'm excited to not have to deal with people who aren't proactive but reactive instead. read more

It's a hit or miss for this place but it's generally busy and have a lot of customers all day and night. The average time varies but staff is always ready to assist. May need to increase their number during rush hours to attend to the needs of their patrons faster. Bring your patience with you. read more

Due to the covid testing in the drive thru pharmacy lick up line, you now mist go in to get an RX and expose yourself to everyone else. The pharmacy workers do not wear gloves and do not sanitize the pay machine after it's used. They are also collecting live covid samples just feet from where you get your Ex and inches from where it is stored. I feel safer at the corner liquor store. It's bad here. I'm going to switch pharmacies. read more

Came to this pharmacy today and I've never had a worst customer service experience. I simply walked out because the two ladies (one with reddish hair) at the register were extremely rude! & they claimed to be the ones in charge. They we're so disrespectful when I was just asking a question. I'm not one to leave bad reviews but please if you're considering coming here DONT. Any other location will be better than this one. read more

Honestly I came in with hella insurance and attitude issues from that day. Han and Enron (idk how to spell the names but I'm sure you know who I'm talking about)helped me out. Sorry for my inconvenience. The insurance company I have ran me around for a half and hour, 3 calls later, wrong info, and they still were nice. I was in pain and tired my bad guys. But I appreciate you guys and your help. I wouldn't have figured it out or got my prescription. Thank you again! read more

Nassir is the man! He was so helpful. I had a very specific medication brand I was looking for. Nassir helped me on the phone and when I came in to fill. He was so polite and patient with me. Normally pharmacy technicians aren't ever helpful or nice in other pharmacies. I was blown away with his great customer service and the time he took to help me. I will be coming back here every time now! Give Nassir a raise! read more

There's always a boat load of people here in line and they always have two or sometimes even three cashiers. CVS ought to consider putting a club in the back of the place and charging for admittance. Everything at this CVS location is organized and pretty clean. I've never had an issue and can always find everything I need. read more

JUST GO TO WALGREENS!!!! This location is never open when the website or store location claims!!!! Don't waste ur time!! The doors are closed during business hours or hours advertised.

Today I watch about 3 other customers be turned away by cvs employee in the parking lot telling people store won't open till 8:30am Cvs website claims 7am the store hours say 8am & this employee says 8:30 bad customer service! This location need new & reliable management. read more

This place is exactly what I expect from a CVS; nothing more and nothing less. I haven't seen any of the expired products that previous reviewers have mentioned so it looks like the new management has stopped that dead in its tracks (thank goodness). The staff are always nice to me, and I rarely have to wait longer than two customers ahead of me in line to check out. Looks like they are trying to improve the place, and it's convenient for me so I'll still shop here. read more

CVS recently bought out Sav-On. As far as product selection is concerned, however, there ain't much of a difference. It's not better, but it's not worse either. CVS is convenient. That's why we go there. It's one of the few places where you know you can pick up super glue, a couple of red bulls, some gold bond cream, and a bottle of Jim Beam all in one place. 3 stars because this particular location is sorta sketchy. I can't tell you what it is about this place, but it feels like a place that's seen its share of robberies. read more
