CVS Pharmacy

"CVS Altoona has gone extremely downhill due to little to no staff and an incompetent manager. Pharmacy staff refuses to make appointments regarding refills and instructed me to “show up and wait” as they’re understaffed. Once they were unable to fill my prescription on time, I asked to transfer it to another pharmacy in which I was refused and told I’d against the law. The main goal of this particular pharmacy is to push prescriptions on Target customers all while having a revolving door of new staff learning and screwing up. -Bryce"

"I had to choose between 2 Rx's for the same thing (one insurance would cover the entire amount the other not so much), the pharmacy tech went above her call and told me the advantages and disadvantages of both scripts."

"Always a month out of a med / dosage chage..always (3yrs in sine moving) Lands on cvs..they'll blow up your phone about "the norm meds"..yet never get back to you about PAs...I've called several times my doc office they say cvs isn't communicating..so I call back..recently last week maryjo..says she'll call n get back ..nope on hold again 3 weeks without my meds..their end im 24yrs in on my doc n nurse. Sooo..Soo..yeah if you have an alternative take it"

"LESS than 1 star! First time using this CVS inside Target. After 5 days of trying to get scripts filled so they could be picked up at the same times, still not ready. Told it happens all the time by other people in line. Wish I had an alternative that didn't cost me. Horrible experience!"

"First, I have to address the comments that have put complaints in about Dr. Fawad Baig and how they're completely false! I will tell you first hand that he is an amazing Pharmacist and he runs the Pharmacy WAY better than it ever has been, and I have been going to this location for over 15 years! Fawad has always put in extra effort to help me get my medications filled, even calling my doctors office multiple times to make sure things get taken care of for me. He speaks to you like you're human, with exceptional interpersonal communication skills! Fawad does his absolute best in running this CVS Pharmacy with what resources, tools and short staffing that he is provided with. Now, this CVS Pharmacy is the best Pharmacy in Altoona, that's for sure! I switched to Hy-Vee in Altoona for one month and I couldn't do it anymore because they're TERRIBLE, so I switched back to CVS! They do their best, but like every Pharmacy, they get busy and don't have the staffing all the time. But, the staff do their best to keep up and get to everyone that is waiting for service. People need to stop complaining and just be thankful for having this CVS Pharmacy Team doing their best and taking care of their customers. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!"
