They even kept the pharmacy open 10-12 minutes past closing to issue for my daughter (who just was released from the hospital) a much needed pain relief medication and antibiotic that cost over 98% less than what the hospital physician prescribed. I had to drive to the hospital as pharmacy closing time approached since phone connection to a physician there was unreliable, and the information Michael gave me (missing diagnostic code) for insurance prescription reject spurred immediate action at the hospital nurse station, ultimately leading to pharmacist Paul's persistent phone interaction with hospital physicians to resolve yet another problem. 5 star service!

I had been a regular customer at this pharmacy for years. My wife attempted to drop off a…read moreprescription for me on Friday 2024-05-24. The pharmacist - "Miss Janet" - told my wife she wouldn't accept it because the doctor hadn't printed his name in the right place on the script. She sent my wife back to the doctor's office, 45 minutes away (one way), to get a new one. When my wife reached the doctor's office and tried to relay what Miss Janet needed, the doctor was confused, since the prescription, to him, was filled out properly and his name, NPI, DEA number, etc were all clear and imprinted. I called and asked to speak to Miss Janet, who told me something completely different -that the prescription had to be submitted electronically and that the signature wasn't the issue. Why didn't she tell my wife that? I tried to explain to Miss Janet that the office I visit, part of Ascension health, had a cyberattack and wasn't able to submit prescriptions electronically, hence the written prescription. This isn't an event impacting a single office - this a nationwide issue addressed on both Ascension's site and in the national news. In the middle of trying to explain this, Miss Janet interrupted me to say "Hold on" and hung up on me. I called back and she refused to get on the phone. The technician said she understood my issue, it made sense to her, that the written script was in order, and that a verbal verification to the office could've been done, but Miss Janet refused. She also directed me to another pharmacy, however, at this point, the doctor's office was closing for the Memorial Day weekend, leaving us no option to fill the prescription elsewhere because of the needed verbal confirmation. My wife and I spoke to 4 other pharmacists, 2 from other CVSs, who didn't understand why this happened. To answer the questions people may have: 1) I have been going to this CVS monthly for the same medication for many years, always on time. 2) I have been going to the same medical group and doctor for a decade - they are the only people to have ever prescribed to me this type of medication. 3) Miss Janet refused to check my CVS records to verify I was a regular customer with no previous issues. 4) I pay by credit card and use my employer-provided insurance. 5) At no time did I have an attitude with the staff or Miss Janet (who I only spoke to for barely a minute before she hung up on me.) I apologized several times to the technician that was placed in the middle when Miss Janet would not get back on the phone. 6) Yes, I have already called CVS corporate and shared all of this with them. Whether I receive a call back from the district manager, as I requested, we'll see. As is occurring over Memorial Day weekend 2024, my wife and I had planned to visit relatives out of state for several days. I now need to cut the trip short to come back to Maryland to fill the prescription. Also, it puts next month's refill off by several days, landing that date square on the day I half way across the world for a 3 week vacation. Completely unnecessary and potentially very costly If I can't find away around after speaking with my doctor on Tuesday. Two seconds to stop and listen could've saved my family what look to be issues on two trips. To say I am angry is an understatement. I fully understand there are strict rules surrounding some prescriptions. I follow them to the letter. I couldn't control that Ascension had a cyber-attack, thus forcing a written prescription instead of electronic. I'd hate to think this was a result of Miss Janet prejudging my wife - maybe because she is Asian, maybe because she didn't like what she was wearing - I don't know. I would've hoped my consistent record would've made some sort of difference in this situation, as well as the fact I do follow all of the many rules surrounding the type of prescription we were attempting to fill. Isn't that the point of all these regulations, so pharmacists can make accurate determinations about people and not gate keep based on race, gender, creed, perceived valued to society, etc. I only know this could've been handled a different way such that wasn't so blatantly disrespectful and frankly, mean spirited. If Miss Janet has said no in the beginning, and not forced my wife into a wild goose chase, this would've never gotten to this point. I would've had my medication from somewhere else, I would've have to come back early from our Memorial Day trip, and my refill date wouldn't now be the day I land 3000 miles away from Maryland. I would imagine that Miss Janet wouldn't appreciate it if someone treated her family members the way she treated my wife. Then again, given the attitude she gave me by hanging up the phone mid-explanation and refusing to even listen to a word I had to say about the nature of the issue, I suspect both she and CVS don't care one bit. Avoid this place at ALL costs.

I was very glad I did. 1) Very pleasant greeting upon arriving in the store. 2) From time to drop off to pickup of prescription was 12 minutes, which I consider excellent. there was only one pharmacy on duty, and he had to serve another customer while I was waiting, or else it would've been even quicker. (as a side item, the pharmacist did not have the medication the other customer wanted, but, he was very polite throughout the encounter, just as he was polite to me during the visit.) 3) No problems with insurance, prescription was filled correctly (surprising that I should have to mention that -- have had an incorrectly filled prescription twice in 2014 And once in 2015. no "sorry", no nothing, just a "you're bothering me" exchange trying to get what I should've had originally.. 4) Nasir Mahmood (sp), the pharmacist, took the time to explain how to take each medication I got filled; explaining when during the day would give maximum benefit, and whether I should take with food, water, etc. (it's rare to get even a "Thank you" or "have a good day" at other pharmacies, many of whom act like they're doing you a favor by filling the prescription your doctor told you to get... it took 15 seconds for Nasir to give me that information, but I will return to his (small, independent) pharmacy because he did so... 5) On check out, Nasir reminded me of how many refills I had left, number to call when I needed more medication, etc. 6) The store was very quiet --- no insanely loud elevator music like in most stores. that alone was a welcome respite... Actually being in a store without being accosted by "music" almost felt wrong, but it was very nice... in general, I try and patronize smaller, independent stores. I find the service is usually better. this experience was no exception - so much so that I took the time to write this review - since I had so many bad experiences in recent weeks. I don't know why pharmacists/pharmacy assistants feel they have to treat you like and imposition to their day when you are the reason for them being there in the first place, but, it's no picnic finding a place that has a professional attitude, has the meds you take in stock generally, and treats you like you actually matter.
