CVS, Bronxville NY

Woefully understaffed. Always a line slow line at the pharmacy. Not the employees fault, corporate skimping on staff. THEY CLOSE THE PHARMACY FOR LUNCH!
What pharmacy closes for lunch when people are out shopping. Backward!

As a prescriber, I have never had such a terrible experience with a CVS to the point that I felt compelled to write a review. Month after month I encountered the same issue, and when asking for clarification, the pharmacy tech could not have been less knowledgeable and the pharmacist could not possibly have been more rude. No one could provide me with suggestions of how to prevent it from happening in the future. This cycle continued for five months until this month, when the regular solution did not work. After going back and forth for several hours, with the pharmacy tech not communicating to the pharmacist, the pharmacist ultimately yelled (like, actually yelled) at my pharmacy/insurance specialist, told her to stop calling and wasting her time, and that she did not have the time to deal with this. Ultimately, we transferred the prescription to another pharmacy so the patient could actually receive the prescription, and I’ll be sure to encourage my patients to use alternative pharmacies in the future.

This store is always welcoming, clean, well stocked and has the best personnel and pharmacists.

Terrible. My wife went in for a COVID shot and the older white guy pharmacist said she “did not qualify”? — her last shot was more than 8 months ago and she is traveling overseas in a few days. Other customers were also waiting in line - he ignored them and they became so frustrated they walked away! The store is also usually dirty and a generally mess. Go elsewhere. By the way the COVID shot was NO PROBLEM at Walgreens.

I was in the emergency room on Monday, spend almost 13 hrs there.
On Tuesday, I needed medication that my doctor in Pennsylvania prescribed. I always go to CVS in Bronxville, so this time was no different. I approached a woman behind the desk and asked for the pharmacy phone number so my doctor could call and place my prescription. The woman gave me a card “Ellie Byun”.
I called my doctor and gave the info. My doctor called me later and said he couldn’t talk to anyone because nobody picked up the phone and there is no way to leave messages. I went back to CVS and approached the woman and told her nobody picked up the phone, my doctor is calling and calling and nothing. This woman said to me that she is really busy and she is NOT going to pick up the phone, that the doctor should leave a message. I told her the phone rings and rings and nobody picks up. She insist that my doctor should leave a message. I called my doctor and asked him to please call back. He called back and same thing, nobody picked up and there is no way to leave a message. So I approached the woman again and told her the same thing and she stated she is busy and walked away. I started to cry because I was in pain, I didn’t sleep, I didn’t know what to do so my doctor who is in Pennsylvania placed the order over the phone. At the end I called my doctor again and I told him what was going on, he advised me to go to a different pharmacy. I ended up going to CVS in Fleetwood and IN LESS THAN 20 minutes I got my medication.
We can’t have people like her working in this place, so rude, insensitive, heartless.

I usually have a good experience at the pharmacy, but my last visit was terrible. They had said that my insurance was not active, but it was. They told me to call the insurance company, but they were closed (Sunday). I was leaving for an international trip the next day so I had to have my thyroid meds. The pharmacist just told me to bring in the receipt next time to get a partial refund once it’s cleared up, but a rude technician (who wasn’t part of the conversation at all) was yelling and saying you can’t back date it… I wasn’t backdating anything. It’s not my fault the pharmacy wasn’t up to date with the insurance company… I was showing my insurance card where I clearly had active insurance. Hope I don’t have to deal with them again… I may not be so nice next time.

I find the CVS Store in Bronxville is great for all my prescriptions and household needs. The employees are very helpful and friendly.

Spent 40 minutes on hold waiting to ask about a prescription before I got kicked off. Spent another 40 minutes on hold and got kicked off again. Spent 20 minutes in line to be told they didn't have the prescription I had watched my Dr send to them two days earlier, and to wait until they could find time to find and fill it. Pharmacist was very kind and was doing his best to help me so I will boost the review up one star for him, but clearly the place is woefully understaffed. Don't even bother calling to ask about your prescription status, they won't pick up.

This is the worst experience I have ever had with a pharmacy - zero support zero help, they do not care about their customers at all

Service at the pharmacy is horrendous. The pharmacist treat customers like empty places. You are standing there at the drop-off window and they see you are standing there, noone acknowledges you, and when they actually do come up to help you, they are horrible. Stay away from this pharmacy! There is a beautiful, friendly, clean pharmacy a block away.

Tom is the best pharmacist you can possibly imagine. His costumer service skills are incredible. Very polite and respectful, we are fans and feel lucky to have him in our community. Same about Mounique, they score high in knowledge, skills and care. Big asset for CVS Pharmacy!

Absolutely NOT customer oriented store. They have some inefficient practices with personnel standing and chatting with a long line waiting for a single register. Additionally, this is the only store I know to close for a lunch break.

“ I had A quick stop for few accessories & Gift card purchase store was clean and organized “ staff friendly & helpful in directing me to the right Aisle or product shelf, smooth Counter

I went to pick up a Prescription for my eye surgery, and the cashier tells me they’re closed for lunch? 2 Pm on a Saturday? What professional company has all attendants out for lunch at the same time for something as important as filling prescriptions

Needed help sorting out complicated post op medication regimen. Held for a half hour on the phone and then dealt with a pharmacist with a negative tone and frankly rude demeanor. Go somewhere else to get your scripts filled! Who needs this when you're trying to deal with personal health issues

Never really had a problem here. Prescriptions were always ready and available for pick up on time. Almost no wait and easy check out in the pharmacy area.

The worst CVS is in Bronxville for some reason. Needs a full refresh on the mgmt.side to get this place back to passable.

It's a huge shame that this CVS store can't get it together - it enjoys a prime location in a beautiful village and there's no excuse. The phone system doesn't sync with the website so you can't even try to do things online - you have to go inside. I just had abdominal surgery and they couldn't seem to get my prescriptions right so I got out of bed to physically go in. Once there I picked up a few items stood in line and waited as usual to pay - the cashiers seem to always be going on breaks and they do their best to direct you to their self serve machine which is extremely difficult to use. One in particular, quite surly cashier then refused to give me a bag for my items. It was Impossible to carry them without a bag, especially right after surgery. I had to buy 8 dollars worth of small plastic kitchen bags, open them up and bag my items my self in order to get out of there. On the way out I saw a senior citizen with a cane coming in and I wondered how she could be expected to walk out without a bag for whatever she purchased with her cane. This is verging on becoming elder abuse. CVS normally has bags, if they don't want to offer them anymore then at least have something shoppers can buy at the register. Lately everything about the place is irritating - limited stock, impossible to move in the isles, out of everything, messy unsanitary shopping carts, long lines and waits, expired food items, stupid dysfunctional phone system that's constantly texting useless info, and so on. Come on CVS you can do better.

Store is poorly stocked, messy. Pharmacy has the very poor customer service, mistakes, doesn't answer phones, refills called in more that a day before not filled when you arrive the following day. If staffing is an issue, CVS should respond.
