““McLean Pharmacy offers a warm and welcoming environment. The staff are incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and they deliver medications as quickly as possible. You never have to wait in line. We especially thank Mr. Sepanta for his outstanding support.””
“EXCELLENT EVERYTHING. THANK YOU. CVS AND WALGREENS KEEP SMALL PHARMACIES FROM PROCESSING SOME PARTS OF INSURANCE. I DON'T MIND ONLY GETTING 30 DAYS WORTH OF A MED FROM A SMALL PHARMACY BECAUSE THE DEDUCTABLE IS THE SAME. I WANT THEM TO SUCCEED. AND YOU SHOULD TOO.”
“Phenomenal pharmacy!Ditch the Big-Box pharmacy and make Medicine Chest your go-to! Attentive, patient, professional & super friendly staff. They go above and beyond for their customers.”
“I had the best experience here! The African American lady at the Meat section was very kind, warm and friendly! She spoke to me with some respect and I felt welcomed. It was my first time shopping here. The cashier was nice too. Store is clean and very well organized.”
“I'd like to recognize Danny, a pharmacist at the Giant Pharmacy in McLean, who has been a genuine breath of fresh air. Her dynamic energy and effortless efficiency — in both checking customers in and filling their prescriptions — set her apart. She is a reminder of how much more pleasant a day can feel when someone behind a counter recognizes that the people in front of them are often short on time. I admit my expectations had been tempered by a prior visit to this same location. On that occasion I stood at the checkout counter as the pharmacist on duty moved at a snail's pace, seemingly indifferent to the line steadily building behind me. It was like watching paint dry. Others began to murmur, but tone-deaf to the room, he carried on without a care in the world — something I paradoxically loathed and yet almost respected as a form of involuntary mindfulness training for the rest of us. That experience had nearly written this Giant off for me. Then I met Danny, and I was genuinely thrilled — by her personality as much as her get-it-done attitude. She moved swiftly and yet gracefully, somehow maintaining a warm, pleasant disposition throughout. She is living proof that efficiency and friendliness need not be a trade-off. I thanked her profusely in person, and I'll say it again here: thank you, Danny. I hope Giant continues to put a premium on pharmacists like her. She left a real impression — and a smile. Keep up the great work.”
“Carla at the Safeway pharmacy was outstanding. She was incredibly kind, helpful, and made the entire process fast and effortless. This was the best pharmacy experience I have ever had. I would choose this pharmacy over Walgreens or anywhere else because of the level of care she provided.”
“This pharmacy is always hopping. What I love most about going there are the people who work there. They are patient and kind. We get all of our vaccines there too.”
“Absolutely amazing support from the store manager will. I was getting some allergy relief medication for my son and he walked me through every single choice with the best explanation ever I feel like this is an old-time Pharmacy and you have a doctor on the premises advising you. Absolutely excellent treatment can't say enough about him. Thank you Will.”
“This is an average size store that is very busy as a very tight parking lot is around taken a lot a parking space. very helpful staff and they are very knowledgeable. The store has is average on overall cleanliness. The pharmacy inside is the biggest I have ever seen and with long lines at each of the counter openings. The all star at the in the pharmacy is a lady named Tiffany. Tiffany helped me with an emergency then went went above and beyond and give me the update I needed.”
“The pharmacist here goes above and beyond, balancing clinical expertise with genuine compassion. They took the time to answer all my questions, resolve an insurance issue, and ensure I felt safe with my medication. This level of dedication is rare and makes this pharmacy stand out. Corporate should be proud to have such an exceptional professional representing their company!”
“I recently moved to the area and had a question about my prescription. I submitted my inquiry through the CVS app, and Claire from CVS pharmacy responded within just 30 minutes! I really appreciate the prompt and helpful service, thank you!”
