CVS

"This review option resulted from a Google search for Milano cosmetics. Don't waste your time going to Lakewood Ranch Blvd CVS if you're purchasing Milano makeup. The selection is terrible!"

"CVS - 1520 Lakewood Ranch Blvd, Bradenton, FL 34211 By far, the worst CVS pharmacy personnel in the entire state of FL. Staff is just plain rude, lazy, and incompetent. Third, attempt to pick up a prescription and always an issue. Either we didn't receive the script, not ready yet, or we don't have it stock. Our son's pediatrician electronically sent in two scripts. The Dr completes this at 4 pm. 4:30 pm CVS states that we don't have the script. Call Dr's office back, told them CVS does not have the script. Dr calls them directly. The script was at CVS the entire time. Unfortunately, someone decided not to approve the script. It wasn't approved until they received a call from the Dr. directly. After wasting 2 hours, this CVS now tells us they don't have one of the scripts at that location, of course. Information that would have been useful 2 hours ago. They tell us to go to a CVS in Parrish to pick up the script. Associate states I "already sent them the order." We call Parrish CVS from the parking lot, and they have zero scripts sent to them. Walk back into the CVS with the phone and the Parrish CVS associate on it to make sense of all the nonsense. After telling us the script was forwarded to the CVS in Parrish, after putting her on the spot again, she confesses that she did not send it over yet after telling us she did and telling us to head to Parrish for pick up. Terrible, it was so bad that the CVS Associate from Parrish, who is still on the phone with us, plainly states...leave that location ASAP, we get complaints from them all the time. Just head our way, and I'll take care of everything from here. All this wasted time for a prescription while our 8 year old is home in pain. Thanks, Lakewood Ranch CVS, for taking a lack of customer service and incompetent too new levels."

"(WARNING) Do not apply for a job here. They will not hire "white men" They are very racist against anyone who even remotely seems "white" unless they're young attractive white females. They are giving fake interviews with no intentions of hiring anyone who is male and even so much as seems "white". They are mostly doing it for the governments low staff checks, and will attempt to steal your identity and sell it to private 3rd parties by asking for a copy of your social security card and driver's license before even "hiring you". Also, do not ever use their pharmacy. If you are "white" regardless of gender they will lie right to your face and even try to tell you that your prescription hasn't arrived yet, when really it's right there and probably has been for days. And they know it. It's media influenced white racism and they are not even trying to hide it anymore. But don't just take my word for it. Just check the other reviews and the names on the reviews if you don't believe me, and see for yourself. You've been warned."

"This is the laziest pharmacy I have ever been to. The pharmacist needs to be fired for ignorance, laziness, compulsive lieing (probably doesn't even know she's lieing), and not giving a damn about anything. It started 14 days ago with zero communication from CVS. I had to make all the phone calls to help the pharmacist figure out her job and a prescription refill. This is 14 days of doing the pharmacist's job of calling my doctor and the insurance company. For a week, the pharmacist claimed the prior authorization was faxed to my doctor. My doctor never received it. The day the prescription was transferred, I called CVS and gave them the contact information of my doctor. A few more days go by. The pharmacist told me that when it was transferred, Publix gave the incorrect contact information for my doctor. I don't know how that would have happened considering I have had the same doctor for 6 years and Publix had zero issues refilling a prescription. It was even more odd when the pharmacist repeated the contact information of my doctor while on the phone. So the pharmacist lied. As much as she casualy lied to me she probably lied on her CVS job application. The pharmacist then told me that the doctor needed to call a number for prior authorization. Call a number? Maybe you should call my doctor like a normal pharmacists would. What doctor has time for a 30-minute phone call? Doctors see patients, not make 30-minute phone calls for prior authorizations. Pharmacists make 30-minute phone calls for prior authorizations while standing in one position for 8 hours. Last night I called my insurance company who said a prior authorization was not needed. So where did the pharmacist come up with a prior authorization is needed? Don't ask the pharmacist because she'll probably lie and make up random stuff you need all while making you chase your prescription refill around the room. The representative then called Caremark to confirm the local pharmacy was submitting the claim under pharmacy benefits, not medical. I called the pharmacy AGAIN to ask that they claim under medical benefits, not pharmacy. Person on the phone said they are a pharmacy, and they can only submit under pharmacy benefits. Publix also has a pharmacy and they can submit either way. Instead of arguing with this chick, I hung up the phone and immediately called Publix pharmacy. Within five minutes I received verbal confirmation that I can pick up my prescription from Publix on Friday. Well I'll be damned!!!!! That easy. So easy it's too difficult for CVS to figure out. Like I said, fire the pharmacist, and close the store like you closed downtown Bradenton. Your rating has already reached the level of tragedy and no return. I know for sure I don't have to come into your store for a single thing."

"Two instances to share before I move my prescriptions to another pharmacy: I've been waiting for 2 weeks for a prescription. I finally called about it today, and they said it's because they're waiting for an authorization form from the doctor that they've sent over to him twice. Spoke to the doctor, found out that's a lie, no such form is required for this medication. In another instance, picking up prescriptions for myself and my wife, I was told my wife's was not ready. That was interesting since I had a text from CVS saying it was over 4 hours prior. After a full 5 min back and forth the guy (begrudgingly) finally went to actually look for it, and lo and behold...there is was. Stay away. Use the Walgreens or the Publix, both right across the street. This place is a complete mess."
