I am a physician. My son recently needed a suspension medication (liquid for kids who can't take a pill). Our pediatrician prescribed 5 days of the medication. With pills, you can count them as soon as you are given the bottle to be certain the pharmacy is giving you what is prescribed, but this is not possible with a child's suspension. By the time we reached day three, with no spillage nor waste, dosing very accurately, we were completely out of our meds. The head pharmacist at this CVS is terribly rude and it took me arguing harshly and warning him that I myself am a doctor to get him to relent and give us what we ought to have been given in the first place. He was very rude about it even then.
Just be aware, if you use them, you may run into this issue. I do not know if this was an honest mistake or if they routinely cheat customers, but I did not find the manner in which this was handled appropriate, and do not think they would have cooperated if I was not a physician myself.
I will be making a report of this incident to our pediatrician, all the doctors I know in this community, and also to the better business bureau. Shorting patients their prescribed medications is a serious offense. Making errors in prescriptions and being hostile about correcting them, is not to be taken lightly, either.

I have been receiving my medication from Cvs since they first opened about 3 years ago and everytime I go there the staff are always quick to have my medicines ready and the pharmacists is very helpful with all the questions I have. It's great to have such a wonderful and caring group of people in one location.
