“I was referred to Akina Pharmacy by my doctor who trusted them more than another compounding pharmacy she used earlier. My own experience with them has been positive, getting my prescription in a reasonable amount of time and for a price much lower than a chain pharmacy (my insurance either wouldn't pay or the co-pay was much too high). They were very helpful and friendly ( especially the lady at the front desk) - one of the pharmacists also took the time to explain the medication and dosing to me. They made it very easy to have the medication delivered to me (or pick it up, also an option).”
“Elsa has been the biggest blessing to my young daughter. Her treatment plans are methodical and gentle and help the body to better support itself instead of focusing on just the symptoms. She is very knowledgeable about the tests to spend your money on and which ones to skip. We saw results almost immediately. The front desk is very helpful. We appreciate the whole team!”
“My beagle's cardiologist recommended Akina's pharmacy to formulate his heart medicine. It has been incredibly convenient and efficient to use them to fill and mail the prescription. The one time that I needed to contact them about the prescription, they were very helpful and responsive. Now, we have the prescription on automatic refill and it shows up like clockwork, with no muss and no fuss.”
“This is hands-down, the best grocery store in the area. When I say that I include all the other grocery stores which also includes other Harris Teeter stores. The layout is great, the cleanliness is great. The entire shopping plaza is amazing. John Sherman is an incredible manager. I needed some help from him this morning, and he went above and beyond for me. He is courteous and Extremely competent. Harris Teeter is lucky to have an employee like him.”
“I showed up well after my script was due to be picked up, but the pharmacist didn't mention my tardiness. She just smiled and had my medication ready in 3 minutes!”
“I like to fill my car as early as possible to avoid long lines on the pumps but even when I come midday or at the rig hour it still takes less time than any other whole sale gas pump and the price is always cheaper! I like that this station is always clean and th pumps are never out of order which makes waiting time less than usual !plz keep it up Sams”
“These days, you truly never know what someone is going through or how much a small act of kindness can mean during a stressful moment. Last night, my son was in a scooter crash luckily he had on a helmet, and while he was being examined, they also discovered he had a sinus infection. This morning, Mac at Wegmans Pharmacy opened early to get his antibiotics ready for us because he saw me sitting there waiting before they officially opened at 8:30. That simple act of compassion made an overwhelming morning feel a little lighter. In a world where people are often rushing, kindness like that does not go unnoticed. I truly appreciate Mac and the team at Wegmans Pharmacy for their care and thoughtfulness toward our family. ❤”
“Both Brian and Sheila are phenomenal. I have been going here for the past decade and have always had a superb experience. Brian and Sheila make you feel like you’re part of the family. So kind and go out of their way to always take care of their customers. I drive past two other closer Harris Teeters just to go and see them.”
“For the record, I don't get my prescriptions filled here, however, I DID just a flu and tdap vaccine, and lemme tell ya, no exaggeration....I didn't feel either one. At all. Literally. The pharmacist has got the magic touch, man.”
“The staff are so fun and kind I love making night trip over there. I moved around the area not too long ago and used to make night trips to get takis whenever I craved, but they never had the original only the new wave takis which was disappointing. But now they have them in stock so it's all good.”
“David at Tire Center is the best. He is very helpful and patient. I had a tire noise issue had to isolate. I had to go back and forth a few times and David helped me every single time.”
“This pharmacy provides a courteous and professional service. Very knowledgeable and efficient staff. Vaccines were in stock, and it was easy to make an appointment and get vaccinated... and it happens to be close to where we live. All good.”
“I just want to take a moment to recognize Sian, who works at both CVS and Target pharmacies. Her customer service is truly exceptional, and she embodies the meaning of care in healthcare. As a pharmacist, she goes above and beyond to ensure that patients are well taken care of, answering questions with patience, professionalism, and genuine kindness. As a patient and customer, I’ve been incredibly grateful for her help. She makes the entire process smooth and stress-free, always treating people with respect and compassion. Highly recommend Sian for anyone looking for top-notch service and expertise. Thank you, Sian, for all you do!”
“Costco may be jammed pack for the Holiday season but occasionally you see a great find and today was Godiva chocolates for a box just over $12. Now that is a steal. The limit is 10 and guess how many I bought?”
“I have not been to the Pharmacy, but the rest of the staff is great and friendly. Always smile and ready to help. They actually walk me to where an item is. I'm in customer service (we all are if we work) but this walking a customer to what they are looking for instead of just pointing is a lost service in most places.”
“The pharmacist Pam and the pharmacy techs were so kind. I was having insurance issues and Pam was so kind and helpful while I navigated those problems. The vaccination process was seamless.”
“Had an issue with a prescription being sent to the wrong pharmacy that I needed ASAP and Sohaly was amazing! She called the other pharmacy and got it all figured out within a few minutes. Excellent customer service!!!”
“I started coming to Sam's Club once I realized how advanced they are and no crowds (compared to Costco). They are very advanced, with the app, so I pretty much have zero interaction with staff...except at the exit. Not sure where to even start! They pretty much carry everything in bulk, similar to Costco, but they don't have as much variety. -Shopping: There is an option to use "Scan & Go" on the app by scanning all the items while shopping (or at the end...). Once completed, there is a designated "check out" area (instead of checkout lane) and payment is made directly through the app and VOILA, done! The exit arches have cameras that capture the items in the cart and match to the receipt, which means someone does not have to count the items manually. There is also a separate self-checkout area where we can use their scanner to scan the items and pay accordingly. -Gas pump: There is an option on the app under "Fuel" to scan the QR code on the pump, select the correct payment option and follow the instructions to fill gas. So EASY! There is also the old school way of scanning the membership card. I will no longer use the optical department as no one working when I'm at the club and and they don't know which eye benefit providers they accept and provide incorrect information. I won't even go into our experience, otherwise I'd have to lower the stars. They also have a small food court, which has the basic inexpensive foods such as pizza, hot dog, soft serve, etc. They do sell the infamous $4.99 rotisserie chicken. The bakery is large, but I haven't purchased any of their cakes, so I can't speak to those. The croissants are good though! There is plenty of parking available dedicated solely to Sam's Club, even if they are next to Walmart.”
“Chris went above and beyond to help my mom while she was visiting from out of town. She had run out of her medications and didn’t have any refills left, and he stepped in without hesitation. Even though he was the only one working and clearly very busy, he took the time to personally call her doctor and make sure she got what she needed. He was incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely caring throughout the entire process. It’s rare to see that level of dedication and compassion these days. We’re so grateful for his help—he truly made a stressful situation so much easier. Highly recommend!”
“The pharmacy techs at this Walgreens are the best; hard working, friendly and attentive. Especially Malshree who always recognizes me and quickly pulls up up my Rx and status. Walgreens’ refill reminders and auto phone and text notifications are helpful.”
“CVS 5 STARS for extremely helpful service and kindness. Angel and her colleague at the store need Bravo 👏🎶 👏 feedback. I hope you enjoy your experience too!”
“Products as well as shopping experience at CVS has been worth it so far. The stores are well kept and efficiently categorised. The staff is helpful. The process of placing an order to pick up etc is all quite smooth. The deals available from time to time are amazing too.”
“The online tire ordering process was great- simple and straightforward- and the price was slightly lower than even Costco. We hit a snag with the delivery, but as an old boss once told me- it's not about what goes wrong, the important thing is how you make it right. Bryan at the Sterling Sam's Tire & Battery Center took care of us and had the issue resolved within three business days (tires arrived & installed that Sunday). He was professional, responsive, and genuinely focused on making it right. Management at the Sterling location should know they’ve got a great team member in him, and great service in that department.”
