The store is very cleaned and organized inside. There wasn't that many guest inside and their pharmacy area was very quiet.

I found parking in the plaza just fine but if you come during the busy time then you might not find a spot.

Check. I get alerted when it's ready for pick up. Check. I always take advantage of their free delivery, which is great. I've been having these three prescriptions delivered for a year now without a problem. So, I go to my CVS account online to schedule the delivery. But for the first time, it says I have to talk to a pharmacist about one of them and answer some questions, after which they can deliver. Check. I call. After a few minutes on hold, I get some young woman who sounds like she's fifteen. Check. I said what questions do you have. She says something that makes no sense to me, but I answer all her questions and there were a lot. Check. Mind you, I have never had to answer questions before. Check. She verifies my address and says it will be delivered today. Fine. I ask if there's a window of delivery time, which there always is, as you have to be here to accept the delivery. She gets very irritated and nothing she's saying is making sense to me. Check. I finally get so frustrated that I say, "I'm speaking English here - I know I have to be here for the delivery and am just looking for a window - I've done this many times." Click. She hangs up on me. Check. I get a text saying they have my order and there's a link so I figure my time window will be there. But it wants a code they say is in an email they've sent. No email was sent. Check. So, I just figure it will show up when it shows up or I'll call in the morning. So, I'm about to go to bed when I decide to check on the original link I was sent. And what do I find? This young person has totally and obviously on purpose changed me to a shipment, meaning they mail it and I don't get it until Saturday. Not acceptable. It's two-thirty in the morning at this point - this store is twenty-four hours. So, I call. No one answers - for fifteen minutes. I call and get someone from the front of store and she informs me they're on their lunch break for thirty-five minutes. I decide to drive over there and just pick it up and so I can tell someone what happened. I get there. They're on their lunch until three-thirty. I decide to wait. I'm then told that their system is updating and won't be finished until four-thirty. I still wait. They finally open a window - well, "they" being one newbie who just started to work there. I tell him what happened - he's new - he hasn't a clue as to what I'm going on about. I tell him I just either want to pick it up now or have it delivered but the system is down and there's nothing he can do about it. I will remind at this point that we're talking about MEDICATION here. That someone needs. I may call over there in twenty minutes to see if their system has updated and if he can stop the shipment and deliver. At this point, if they can't stop the shipment they're gonna just have to do it all over again and deliver or, I suppose, I'll drive over there. I wrote a five-star review and noted that all the one-star reviews, of which there are MANY, seemed to be about the pharmacy there. Again, usually I set up the delivery online so I don't deal with them - very simple and works efficiently. But the young jerk who hung up on me? And then changed everything in the system to totally screw up everything on purpose. I don't wish anyone ill, but she should be fired. Sadly, as is obvious, no one from corporate OR this branch of CVS reads the comments. I'll do another update when all this is resolved. EDIT: I finally got someone on the phone at nine the next morning - she was appalled at what happened, cancelled the to be shipped order, scheduled the free delivery order, which arrived thirty minutes later. Thank heaven for a professional. Turns out she knew exactly who'd been the initial problem as they had two pharmacists out and had to bring in two new people. I don't like to get people in trouble, but if you're clearly out of your league, just get someone who knows how it works. I suspect she'll at least be talked to and since they record all calls I suggested they just listen to the call.

I'm extremely disappointed with the pricing practices at ABC pharmacy…read more I was initially quoted $365 for my methadone prescription, and when I called back just two weeks later, the price had jumped to $565 with no clear explanation. That kind of sudden increase is unacceptable. After doing my own research and calling around, I was able to get the exact same medication at another pharmacy for just $66. Methadone is a very inexpensive medication .20 cent a pill so this kind of markup feels excessive and, frankly, like price gouging. Patients rely on pharmacies for fair and consistent pricing, especially for essential medications. Situations like this create unnecessary stress and make it hard to trust that you're being treated fairly. I would strongly recommend that others call around and compare prices before filling prescriptions here. Oh, on top of that, the main reason why I'm recommending not going to them. They are rude mean men.

She often comes across with an attitude, slams items around, and makes customers feel like they're an inconvenience. Even simple products like Colgate toothpaste are locked up, and when you ask for assistance, she responds as if she doesn't want to help. The only positive experience I've had is with Leo, the cashier. He is always kind, patient, and respectful to customers. Another ongoing issue is that the store's machines frequently break down, and customers are made to feel like it's somehow their fault. The store also doesn't seem to have much in stock. I've noticed other customers complaining that no one comes when they ask for help, and when someone finally does, they often seem annoyed or upset about having to assist. Since many people in this neighborhood are elderly, it was especially upsetting to see them being treated this way. I hope management addresses these issues because every customer deserves to be treated with respect.

Consider it closed between 1 and 4:15 a.m. I've gone in twice around 1:40 a.m. and found the shutters closed. On the first occasion three or four people were waiting for 2:10 a.m., when a sign says someone will be back. My visit wasn't urgent, but I wonder if some of those people were coming from ER. Supposedly, I learned on my second visit (thinking the first closure was an aberration), the pharmacy closes from around 1 to 2:30, reopens for a half-hour, then closes again from 3 to 4 for computer update. Supposedly they reopen at 4, but I remember a time when it was closer to 4:15 before my shuttle-banging got them to open. (I repented my annoyance when I talked with the attendant.) I don't know how they rationalize such dismal service -- if the 1 a.m. closing is for lunch, why can't they have lunch at 3 when they're forced to close for computer update? -- but I do know my current impulse is to seek another pharmacy, even if it forces me to venture out on hot days to get in long air-conditioned lines. PS: I suppose some attendants will say "I'll starve if I have to wait until 3," but I've learned that even a cup of water or a quick nibble of something will appease the hunger. The delay, for me, makes lunch all the better.

My doctor has been sending prescriptions here for a few months now and every time I call to see if it is available to pick up they speak to me like I'm stupid for asking. Then, today, I called to let them know I haven't been able to swing by to pick up a prescription due to work hours and asked if they would be open Friday (after Thanksgiving) for me to pick up. The lady on the phone, she didn't say her name, said no and I started to ask if they would be open on Saturday then, but she had started talking at the same time as well so we sort of stepped on each other and I apologized and asked my question. Her response was short, rude and unnecessary: "Well if you'd let me finish." Why would that be your first response to a simple verbal mishap?!?! I then asked her if my prescription would still be there on Monday then after the holiday weekend and she responded in the rudest tone and as if I was dumb for asking the question in the first place. Someone working there is lacking common decency and manners. Terrible terrible service, and so close to the holidays when I would think you would be even nicer to people than normal. Requesting that my doctor send my prescriptions elsewhere after this month. read more

The one thing people would say about him is you never have to wait longer than 10 minutes to get a prescription filled. So if I needed a prescription for antibiotics like when I caught pneumonia, mine was filled very quickly. Then after I got married and had children and they would get ear infections in daycare and pre school Fred is the one I would go to. Then he bought his own Reliable pharmacy and it still is the same. You never wait longer than 10 minutes. Fred is a Doctor of pharmacology which means he knows what every drug will do for you or to you. He gives out sage advice and talks to everyone as though he would talk and look out for his own family. He really cares about his patients! The name Reliable is a spot on name for this store because for every aspect done in this store, whether it be giving vaccines, or helping people to decide which vitamins to take or asking questions about a procedure they are thinking of having done or a drug to consider taking, he weighs it heavily with much thought and wisdom and gives you his answer. Also he will catch drug interactions and quickly call your Doctor up and say "I can't give them this drug because it will interact with what he or she is taking which in the ends keeps you safe. He's on top of it! His store is always clean and sanitary. They also sell nick nacks as well as jewelry and all holiday items. They have Brown Bag sandwiches which are really delicious and nutritious. Most hospitals buy these for their patients in case they get hungry in the middle of the night. They also sell baby items there, toys and ambulatory supplies as well as bandages and some His staff are amazing!!!! Mina has been with him for years and does a variety of right hand stuff for him.

I have seen her very , very busy and yet she just smiles, is kind and warm and makes her patients feel as though everything will be okay. If anything is wrong in the price for your drug or the prescription, she will catch it and correct it right away. Jay is another great employee! She is always smiling, and works hard.
