“The pharmacist was very kind and nice. I went to get vaccinated, but it was a good experience other than having to wait a bit without making a reservation. I think vaccinations will be done here in the future. It's cheaper than going to the hospital, and you can go without an appointment...”

“Had a great experience getting my COVID booster shot here. All of the staff are super friendly and I got in right at my appointment time. Big kudos to Lashonta the nurse who gave me the shot! It's a nervous experience for me and she really put me at ease.”
“The cute Korean guy, Bruce, is extra friendly. He was working two registers and cooking at the same time. He then came out after clearing a gigantic line, by himself, and helped me find what I was looking for. I'm giving five stars for him, not the lazy Indian guy who just kept complaining and going on breaks.I definitely recommend this 7-Eleven. Ever since Bruce started working here, everything just flows so smoothly.Keep this guy! You guys need him!”
“I honestly had one of the best experiences ever at this CVS location (Store #013830). Nicolas Bustros, the pharmacist in charge, is absolutely exceptional. I came in stressed and confused about my prescription and insurance, and he completely turned the situation around. He went above and beyond in every sense—he took the time to step out, look deeply into the system, review my insurance, explain everything clearly, and guide me step by step until I got the exact medication I needed. What truly stood out is how much he genuinely cared. He didn’t rush me, didn’t brush me off—he was patient, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. You can tell he is highly skilled and truly dedicated to helping people. It’s rare to find someone this professional, compassionate, and detail-oriented. He made a complicated situation feel easy and stress-free, and I left feeling so grateful. Also, the entire team was amazing—friendly, respectful, and very professional. The whole environment reflects high standards and excellent service. Thank you so, so much. I truly appreciate everything you did. You guys are absolutely the best!”
“This is THE BEST CVS in NOVA. They are so efficient, kind, QUICK! They have a long line inside and a long drive through line outside and they’re all cool calm and collected powering through the line so quickly and nicely. GREAT JOB TO THIS PHARMACY!! Also they implemented a new touch screen check in and it moves everyone so quickly! Love this location!”
“On evening I went for take some snacks one young girl was on counter. Her name was Radika. She was so nice to me. She was very helpful and sweet to customers. I asked for some items and she just bring it for me. I just like her attitude and behavior. Most of customers like her a lot for her behavior. I saw her before on evening on that store.”
