I called and they said they'd have it done in half an hour, but when I went in not only wasn't it ready, but they refused to even deal with it because of their afternoon break. Calls to the pharmacy take up to an hour to be answered. The line for the pharmacy can be up to 30 people, with only 1 person helping customers. I don't know why CVS wants this pharmacy to fail so badly. It's sad that they aren't willing to pay for a couple of extra people in the pharmacy, and would rather have customers leave them.

It is a two level store, with the entire top floor dedicated to the pharmacy and medical section. The space is extremely nicely decorated and feels very thoughtfully designed, with a cute local feel and clear local pride throughout. There are also healthy grab and go options for a quick lunch or snack, and the food selection feels more unique than a typical convenience store, including items like fresh eggs for sale. They also sold local merch. Overall, it has much more of a local market atmosphere than a traditional CVS Pharmacy location, which makes it a really convenient and pleasant stop.

After foot surgery on July 31, my surgeon electronically sent my pain medications to the CVS Pharmacy on Medford Street in Somerville. Because I couldn't drive, I requested delivery online. The website never indicated that my prescriptions would be mailed rather than delivered locally. As soon as I saw a five-day delivery estimate, I called the pharmacist. She assured me that the medications would not be shipped and that my friend could pick them up instead. I also sent a message through the CVS app confirming this. Despite those conversations, my medications were mailed anyway. What hurt the most wasn't the mistake; it was what happened afterward. Instead of empathy or accountability, I was told, "You put it in the system," and later, "Mistakes happen. We did nothing wrong. It was your mistake. We did you a favor." "A favor?" I spent my Friday evening after surgery trying to find pain medication while being passed between pharmacies and ultimately had to contact my surgeon at home for new prescriptions, which the pharmacist told me to do. Then, they refused to accept the new prescription. No one from the pharmacy called to see if I had received any medication, to apologize, or even to ask how I was doing. When I later spoke with the store manager, she wasn't even aware of what had happened and promised to follow up, but instead, she called CVS Corporate. If they had sent me a $15 bottle of Advil, I would have accepted it gladly. But they just washed their hands of me, like I was dirt under their fingernails. 5 days later, Damien at CVS Corporate contacted me, I hoped he would have news that this would never happen again. Instead, I was told the pharmacy staff claimed I had been "harassing and threatening" them; an accusation that was completely false and deeply upsetting. Rather than acknowledging the failures in my care, he "blamed the victim" again for advocating for myself while recovering from surgery. If they were so scared at the store, they would have called the police. Of course, they didn't because nothing bad was done on my end. Healthcare is about more than filling prescriptions. It is about compassion, communication, and accountability when things go wrong. Mistakes can happen, but how an organization responds to those mistakes matters just as much. I sincerely hope no other post-operative patient has to spend the first five days after surgery fighting to obtain the pain medication their doctor prescribed.

I'd rather walk right past it and continue onto Harvard Square than to give them my business. I understand that a smaller store will have slightly inflated prices in comparison to chains. But anytime I've needed a convenience item from here I have more than paid for it. I ran out to purchase butter one time and ended up paying almost $7.00 for it. really? The help is always distracted, on their cell phones, or just generally putting you second to whatever they were doing. The porn behind the counter? tacky as fuck. I really don't wanna look at that when I'm trying to buy milk. The smell of Subway is about the only positive I can come up with for this store. The booze isn't a selling point as there is a liquor store much closer to my house not bending me over in the process.
