CVS

"Despite some negative reviews, I would have to disagree and give five stars. I’ve placed medications in the past at this location, and never had issues. Staff are nice, and the Pharmacist Maria is very caring, and knowledgeable and answers any questions you have."

"I know the staff here, meanwhile and try their best. Sometimes they have to deal with challenging situations that are often times out of their control. I have found that the service at this pharmacy is very good compared to other pharmacies in the area and I am happy to continue using them for all of my needs"

"I have never encountered a horrible pharmacy until I came here. I called to get my refills. I then arrive at CVS 24 hours later and the girl says,” it’s not ready. I’ll have it in 15 minutes.” I don’t have time to wait so I go home. I come back 4 hours later and it’s still not ready. This is the situation every time. My prescriptions are NEVER ready. I don’t get it."

"If I could give this pharmacy less than one star, I would. If you are sick, in pain, or need more than one prescription filled, do yourself a huge favor and go somewhere else. You don’t need to wait hours and hours for a pharmacy to fill your order. Or keep checking the app - lol! - only to see that your order is still pending after seven hours! Or call and wait on hold for 90+ minutes! Or show up and find that while one part of your order has been filled, you have to wait for the other. Even if you’ve gotten the phone call to come in! It’s insane. Respect your time and health more than CVS does and go somewhere else. Today was the absolute LAST time I will fill a prescription here. It’s absolutely not convenient. It’s just about guaranteed to be a huge hassle. It’s absolutely disrespectful. I blame myself. I should have quit this place months ago. But I’ve become accustomed to such shabby treatment from corporate retail that I kept giving them one more chance. Everything in the front of the store can be found in any grocery store, so it may be my last time altogether. I also had plenty of time to write this, since I waited another 45 more minutes for them to fill my “expedited” order, over 8 hours after the doctor sent it in. There’s another pharmacy literally across the street. I’ll see you there."

"I'd give zero stars if I could. Worst pharmacy ever. Hours wait times. Medications that should be ready but aren't. Unfriendly staff overall. 9/14/23 followup. Was driving through the CVS parking lot in West Islip when I saw them bringing out their pharmacy records and leaving them in the parking lot for a truck to dispose of. It appeared to me that they kept all these pharmacy records within the loading dock area for anyone in the store to access at will and not secured as they should be according to HIPAA. These appear to have been stored and kept in that receiving area on the corner of the building in a special not im any special room or area. Just when I thought I ran out of reasons to keep clear of their pharmacy."
