“Easily the best grocery store in the area. I’ve been here dozens of times and have never thought to leave a review, but had to today after having Laura check us out at the registers. To say she goes above and beyond is an understatement. The attention to detail, the thoughtfulness, just an all around wonderful person. She deserves all the recognition!”
“Cheyenne & Tijuana! I want to take a moment to recognize two amazing employees at Harris Teeter in Columbia, Maryland, at the Kings Contrivance Shopping Center — Cheyenne and Tijuana. My family and I had such a wonderful experience shopping here today, and these two young women truly made our visit special. First, I want to give a huge shout-out to Cheyenne, a sales representative inside the store. I was looking for a strainer because I’m making homemade coffee bean ice cream, and I also needed help finding coffee. Cheyenne took the time to walk around with me, help me find exactly what I needed, and never once made me feel rushed or like I was bothering her. She was patient, kind, genuine, caring, and so easy to communicate with. Her willingness to help went far beyond what I expected. She genuinely seemed to care about making sure I had a great shopping experience, and that meant so much to me. And I absolutely have to give another BIG shout-out to Tijuana, the cashier who checked me out! She was truly a breath of fresh air. She had such a sweet personality, was incredibly pleasant, kind, welcoming, and provided amazing customer service. Sometimes a simple interaction at the register can make or break your experience, and Tijuana made ours even better. Between Cheyenne helping me find everything I needed and Tijuana sending us off with such a warm and pleasant interaction, my entire family left Harris Teeter feeling genuinely appreciated as customers. I honestly don’t believe I’ve ever experienced this level of wonderful customer service at this location before. These young women deserve to be recognized because they are representing Harris Teeter in such a positive way. Cheyenne and Tijuana — THANK YOU! ❤ Thank you for being kind, patient, genuine, and simply wonderful people. Please know that your kindness did not go unnoticed. Harris Teeter, you have two amazing employees here, and I hope management takes the time to recognize them for the outstanding customer service they provided. Because of experiences like this, I will continue to spend my money at Harris Teeter in the Kings Contrivance Shopping Center in Columbia, Maryland. Keep being amazing, ladies! You made our family’s shopping trip a truly wonderful experience!”
“Best pharmacy ever. They know you by name when you walk in, always have a full prescription (unlike the evil death star, Walgreens) and call you when it is time to refill. They are the absolute best!!!!”
“I really like this pharmacy. For 2 years I was required to use CVS which was always painful with the long lines and hardly ever opening the second register. No one knows you and the service is unfriendly. I’m very happy to be back with Wegmans where the staff is always friendly.”
“Caplet Pharmacy, suggested by my doctor, was the only place I could find Novavax. I was able to easily set up an appointment, and the pharmacist was pleasant and very competent. I would certainly return there for other immunizations or prescriptions.”
“Wonderful service and knowledgeable staff. After coming here a while for one specific medication that CVS could never manage to fill, we just moved all our medications here. The customer service is outstanding and staff really went above and beyond to help us with insurance coverage and discounts. 10/10 recommend to anyone looking for an efficient and safe pharmacy experience!”
“Always super friendly never align that's the biggest thing giant is gotten to be Beyond ridiculous and I was at CVS with a friend of mine who need to pick up a prescription in Ellicott City off Centennial Lane you would not believe the line in that place it's unbelievable that people would actually stand in line like that when a they can get it mailed to them B they can go to Hickory Ridge hello”
“Dr. Israel was able to help me fill my script. He was very transparent and explained every step of the process. He also called with updates. I would 100% recommended.”
“When I think of Alfa Pharmacy, I hear angels singing. My husband has many complex medical conditions and dealing with pharmacies has been the bain of my existence for the last 6 years. Between the anonymous feeling you get from a major chain to incompetence in small independent pharmacies...I've seen it all. Alfa, and the humans that make the place wonderful, has been a beacon. I don't go to the pharmacy 2 to 3 times a week anymore, I don't have keep track of what's due, what needs a PA, what new med may have interactions with other meds. Alfa does everything and it's delivered once a month. Easy-peasy. The shift in mental load has been amazing. I'd like to shout out our specialist, Tabitha for being our personal angel.”
“My son filled a prescription and other than the long line, they were able to fill it pretty quickly. We didn't have to go back later to pick it up which was nice.”
“the gentleman who works here (I’m guessing his name is Norman from other reviews!) was extremely friendly and helpful, going out of his way to make sure I got my medication on time. very welcoming environment!”
“I have been using the Giant Pharmacy on Freetown Road for 15 years now. Overall, I have found them to very good. Yes, there have been a few pharmacists that have been difficult to deal with or counter staff that needed more time/training but that has been the exception rather than the rule. One particular thing I like about the pharmacy is the ability to get vaccinations in a closed room next to the counter rather than in faux screened off area offered by other pharmacies (e.g., CVS).”
“The pharmacist are the best very knowledgeable & kind ..I go out my way to come to this pharmacy & will continue to love the ladies here....❤ They are great !!!”
“Professional, knowledgeable, amazing experience every time. The staff are all so kind. I've used this specific pharmacy for years too, and it's always wonderful. Never a single issue.”
“I am complaining about Walgreens on 9616 Harford Rd MD I been going there for 3~4 years to get my medication's now they tell me it's filled but when I get there there's one male pharmacist that denied and lied and canceled my scripts because I don't live within 15 miles of them. Witch is not true. Another lie and this marks the 2nd time but other pharmacist that work there fill it for me . This pharmacist needs to be fired. Or looked into further. Cause isn't it against the law to cancel my scripts after they were filled . This medication I can't go without because I'll go through withdrawal . Something needs to be done.”
“There is a new pharmacist who started working there recently, she is 10/10 helpful, she goes above and beyond for all patients, she’s helped me a few times and went as far as calling university of Maryland after my moms heart surgery to get updated meds.”
“My brother is a pharmacist, so I know just how stressful the job can be, especially during a pandemic stricken year. I want to commend the Lynx Lane CVS Pharmacy Dept because all of my experiences have been wonderful. From visiting new doctors to new medications, getting my 'scrips filled has been nothing but seamless here. No matter the time of day, including the dreaded 5-6pm hour, I've yet to experience a line. Today's experience showed me just how attentive they are (again). When ringing me up, the nice tech noticed I had no refills left on my specific medication and offered to reach out to the prescribing doc's office. No need since I was meeting with the doc again soon to reup, but the proactive offer was certainly appreciated. That's the kind of tech I'd want filling my meds. FYI - not only can you walk up to the counter, they also offer drive through pick-up, with covid testing.”
“I have avoided this pharmacy for literal years after a long string of bad experiences. I would send my mother instead of going myself to avoid the entire thing. BUT TODAY I had to go in for an important RX myself and Robin M was absolutely amazing. She greeted me with a friendly smile, and I saw the grace with which she treated the customer before me. She was so kind, efficient, and her genuine customer service was like sunshine. She made me smile on a hard day. Thank you Robin M you have changed my mind, I am grateful they found you.”
“I have never had any issues with Option Care while getting my infusions. All the nurses are friendly and courteous. The nurses know what they are doing. I love when my infusion is done by nurse Regina. She is a wonderful and very kind person. It is also nice that the office is close to my home. I recommend Option Care for your infusion needs.”
“As much as you can expect from a neighborhood pharmacy. Staff is friendly, helpful, courteous. Went to CVS because it was part of Caremark, insurance reasons and promptly ran back to Walgreens!”

“The staff behind the counter at the front are always quick to help me out when I have an issue at the self check out kiosk. They are kind and efficient. I have received my annual flu and covid vaccinations at this CVS and have received courteous and efficient service each time. I have also picked up prescriptions from both walk up and drive thru. This particular CVS appears to be very busy in this department. Most of the time their is a line and a short wait. When I do receive the prescriptions, the staff has always been polite. People are human and not perfect. I believe in showing Grace and patience in my old age.”
“Everyone in my CVS knows my face. I am in there often. The store is within walking distance. I have never walked there but good to know I do have that option, should I need it. I love TARGET since they stepped up to the plate with new, updated styles and vendors.”
“I visited the Walgreens pharmacy to pick up my prescription. They had sent me a courtesy reminder via Text and a robot call. The young man at the pharmacy (sorry I didn't get his name) was very kind and friendly. When I left the pharmacist, I continued shopping for other items. Upon checking out, I experienced the same level of kindness and professionalism with Mr. Al. He mentioned that I had accumulated dollars and asked if I wanted to use them. It was a great experience! Thank you to the awesome staff at Walgreens!”
