Pharmacies near Lino Lakes, MN

“It's hard to say anything bad about CVS/Target in Lino Lakes, MN. They have always done a very professional job for me. The only suggestion I have is to stagger your lunch break rather than completely closing the pharmacy, and when the line is long...open more than one register so the wait isn't so long to get your medicines.”

“The Medicine Chest Pharmacy is everything you would want in your pharmacy. You feel that they know you and your prescriptions. The fact that you can call, and someone answers the phone who is knowledgeable is very rare and valuable these days. You will not find this kind of service from a chain. Plus, the bonus of an adorable shop with so much FUN merchandise! We are lucky to have such a gem in White Bear Lake.”

“very friendly and on top of things as a chronic pain patient getting my meds on time is very important they always fill asap and never with any of the negative attitude I have received at the major retail pharmacies when ever I mention opioid meds”

“All pay-at-the-pump with the Sam's Club app. Good price usually, and we haven't had any issues with quality. Sometimes the lines can get long, as not all the customers move very efficiently.”

“Overall, a positive visit - 4 stars. This was my first experience at the M Health Fairview facility in Blaine. My destination was the imaging area for an MRI. GOOD: 1. The tech who conducted the MRI was great. She was friendly, she explained everything well, she was patient, and she helped make the experience as pleasant as possible. 2. The MRI machine itself is really cool. It created a high resolution 3D image using magnetism. I only had to stay inside the tube for about 20 minutes. I got to pick a station and listen to the radio. Not bad at all. 3. I had the last appointment of the evening. As a result, there was hardly any traffic and I got to park right at the front door. Sweet. NEEDS IMPROVEMENT: 1. I was called on the phone and asked if I could arrive early because there was a cancellation. But after I checked in and I was ushered into the inner secondary waiting room, the 2nd employee asked why I arrived so early. I explained that I was called and asked to come in early because of a cancellation. Then the 2nd staff told me, "She's not supposed to do that." What? No communication? So now I have to sit around until my original appointment time? Silly. 2. When I first checked in, I was told that my MRI was "disallowed" by my insurance. I showed her my valid card. And I asked, how does this happen when it was scheduled for nearly a week? Don't you check this stuff? Do you want me to go home? She said she was going to check in more detail. Then the second staff called me inside. I guess that meant I was suddenly "allowed". Weird. 3. I was questioned & advised FIVE (5) TIMES about not wearing anything with metal and about metal jewelry and about metal implants. (Why mention clothing when they make you change into a gown?) Look - I get it already! It's a giant magnet. But five times? 1) The scheduler went through it with me. 2) The person at check-in went through it. 3) Once inside, I completed and signed a detailed 2-sided form. 4) The second employee went through the metal thing. 5) Finally, the MRI tech operator went through the metal thing. SOOO disorganized and inefficient! How about just mentioning it twice, once before the appointment and then have ONE staff go through the form verbally line-by-line? Unfortunately, this type of circular BS is common and I've actually come to expect it. 4. I watched the front desk employee take her mask off as soon as I walked away and sat in the far corner of the lobby. (We were the ONLY 2 humans in the lobby.) Yet I still had to wear mine. I watched the 2nd employee take her mask off in her office. Yet I still had to wear mine. These 2 employees know it's stupid and so do I. 5. Last but not least...the masks...still? Everyone else stopped this a LONG time ago. As tons of data has come out and censorship has subsided, most of us know about their complete ineffectiveness. Yet Fairview persists. (You can't convince me that my 50 cent mask with half inch gaps does anything.) Aren't these folks supposed to follow biological science, peer reviewed studies, and statistical data? Can't we all agree that, at some point, this just becomes an abusive irritant to patients? Overall, mostly a pleasant experience, despite the glitches. -Maxx”

“Kudos to my family health MD-Dr. Darling & her assistant today, Sasha! Thank you for not rushing my visit and listening to my concerns. Also, the check-in desk staff that I dealt with was very pleasant and professional. I like that she says that the MD is running a little late, but I will be seen. It wasn't that long of a wait and it's worth it to see a provider that I respect.”

“This pharmacy is the absolute best in Blaine. Every person that has helped me has been super friendly and helpful. I’m never left waiting in store or on the phone. They really are a pleasure to work with. Thank you!”

“It's a nice small store, usually we can get everything we need. But during covid it was hit and miss. But as of late we have noticed that whole grain foods are either sold out or never in stock. Such as Whole Grain Tostitos taco chips, brownberry bread, or whole grain long spaghetti noodles. Now on another subject we have also noticed that prices are higher on some goods at this store vs. another Cub store located in Fridley. Such as Land O Lakes Lunch meats are $5.39 in Fridley but your store has it for $7.00+. We like the smaller store so we like to shop here but your prices are a bit on the higher side. I know things are getting higher but it sure would be nice not to get robbed for honest customers who shop and not steal food. I just returned bread to the store that was not properly cooked and got an exchange for another bread. I paid the difference of the price.”

“Who doesn't love Costco! They have great items whether you're shopping for food, toiletries, vitamins, furniture, clothing, books, holiday items....and much much more. And don't forget about gas! The employees are nice and you can tell that they love their job, it shows!!!”

“Bought some new tires from this location and had a gentleman by the name of Pao help me. Very professional and was able to get them on in a timely manner. Definitely recommend and going back for my other vehicles.”

“I just had an interaction with "Cory" an african american, and the best, most efficient teller I've ever encountered. I came back to complement him, but he was so kind to the person he was helping at the time (most of us are old), did his job perfectly and then gave me his name. If that guy is there, at that store, I'll go back.”

“CVS in White Bear Lake is a clean, well laid out pharmacy. It has all the essentials found in a normal CVS (medicine, health goods, snacks, beverages, local high school fanwear, toys, etc.). It's also conveniently located right off of highway 61.”

“A few Wednesday ago, I was in Blaine for a pickle pickup. It went well. Afterwards, I had two quick errands to complete before heading back to my hotel room for a work meeting: - Grab lunch - Get some drinks and snacks I visited this Walgreens first, followed by Arby's for lunch. Perfect! There was lots of parking in this plaza. I backed into a spot and headed over to this store. I was immediately greeted by Easter items. I was pleased that cute Squishmallows were a part of this welcome squad. I briefly looked at the nail care section. It was great. There was nail polish remover in a number of forms, polish, gel stickers, fake nails, and more. There were more Squishmallows in the seasonal Easter aisle. It was also Valentine's Day, so I saw candy for both occasions. I did not buy any Valentine's Day merchandise. I decided to wait a day, to take advantage of clearance sales that likely would happen. I needed pop. I got a couple of two-litre bottles. I was thrilled to see Diet A&W root beer. It's not as common as Diet Dr Pepper. I took a bottle each of these flavours. I also got popcorn. I headed to the checkout. There was one person ahead of me. I didn't have to wait long. I got a woman who was competent. She ended up putting a bottle in a plastic bag. It was different. I would have double-bagged both bottles. To each, her own. I paid with a credit card. At Walgreens, the payment kiosk prompts whether you want to pay in USD or CAD with a Canadian credit card. I always go with USD and have my credit card do the exchange. I got a coupon for $7 off my next purchase of at least $15. I thanked the woman and headed to my car. This store had everything that I needed. I wish that I had more time to browse. The next time I'm back in Blaine, I hope that I can take my time shopping here. (87)”

“Wonderful pharmacy. When you don't have time to get your immunizations or flu shot at your clinic, or the money for a doctor's appointment, call this pharmacy. Wonderful staff, and so willing to help you.”

“I don't understand the negative reviews - perhaps these folks caught an employee on an off day, but that certainly isn't enough to chalk up the entire store as a failure. Are you all perfect and have never had a bad day? Yikes. Guys, I really like this location and everyone is super nice. I am greeted every time I walk in, the store is always clean and well stocked (I always find what I need) and the ladies at the pharmacy are wonderful. Sure, the pharmacists are busy and sometimes seem a bit overwhelmed but have never once been rude to me. Because, imagine that, I am a normal human being who understands that sometimes we're just doing the best we can. This is my pharmacy. Has been for like 4 years and will continue to be.”

“This CVS pharmacy did such a great job and helping me and my family get our prescriptions timely and without any stress. All of the staff were so friendly and kind and helpful.”

“The staff are helpful, nice and patient. I have been going to this pharmacy for years and never had issues with their services. I treat the employees with respect, so I never have had any complaints or issues with them. If something difficult happens, either I made a mistake, or needed to contact my insurance/provider. This pharmacy is reliable, and deserves 5⭐️”

“Cub grocery stores around the Twin Cities are exceptionally generous. They allow food trucks and small businesses to park in their lots to do business. Of course, they are parked furthest away from the actual store, but the support is nice to see. When you see a review from me for a Cub store, chances are that I am here to support a local business. It was the case a few Saturdays ago. I was back to pick up two bottles of Fire and Ice Pickles. Michelle is the woman behind this fine business. It was my second time ordering from her.The waiting list is a good month to get your pickles. I lucked out with my timing. She had a few pickup locations. I had arrived in town on a Friday. She had a pickup date on Saturday. It was at this Cub store in Blaine. The window was between 3 and 4 pm.I had no problem finding this Cub store. I was coming from Coon Rapids, so my drive was ten minutes. This Cub store is in a rather vast plaza. The store is wide. It also has a pharmacy. There was plenty of parking just after 3 pm. It was moderately busy.It was easy finding her vehicle with her company's logo on flags. She is a nice woman. She remembered that I stayed in Bloomington the first time that I bought a bottle of her amazing pickles. I was in Eagan this time.I paid with cash. She bottled and packaged my jars of pickles nicely. She worked until 4 am to get all orders ready for this day. I was up till 4 am as well, coming down from the Minnesota Wild winning game 3 of the first round of playoffs.She said that if I needed more pickles, to let her know. She would expedite my order because I "came so far," which was super sweet of her. When I ordered my first bottle of pickles, I consumed them within a day. They are that yummy. They are tangy, sweet, garlicky, with heat. So good!I was a bit better pacing myself with my two bottles of pickles. I ate them before my trip was over. Delicious! They make regular pickles seem so boring.I appreciate that she has Cub pickup locations around the Twin Cities. It allows me to discover new places that I've never been to. I can also figure out where Cub stores are that I could potentially shop at someday!(130)”

“I have been using this pharmacy for several years now. I keep it as my main place because I appreciate how quick and kind they are. I have always felt cared for by their pharmacist. He takes the time to make sure all my questions are answered. On more than one occasion he has gone out of his way to help myself or my husband, even discussing and looking for over the counter meds. I recently needed a medication quickly because my daughter was really sick and it took urgent care too long to send in the prescription. I explained the situation. The pharmacist mentioned that they were really busy but would do his best to get it done as quickly as possible. I received a message within 20 minutes that her medication was ready. I highly recommend this place.”

“I work in this building as a healthcare provider, and if there is a problem with a pharmacy order, the pharmacist will call me right away so that the patient does not have to wait very long. Much better experience than a Walgreens or similar. Prescriptions are generally filled very quickly for both myself and my patients.”

“Really good experience here with pharmacy team and getting a low stock med with prior authorization troubles. They advocated for me and made the process super easy and quick. Grateful for their work in stepping up and helping me feel better!!”

“Frequently they have good prices on things you buy in bulk. The people working in the warehouse can help you find items, if you can't find them on your own (sometimes a shelf area is empty but they have more in stock in a different area).”

“The night before Thanksgiving, my husband showed up to fill prescriptions for my son that had just been called in by the doctor. The pharmacy staff not only filled the meds but also helped work out some issues with the RX shortly before closing. We appreciate all their efforts especially during these crazy pandemic times.”

“I love this pharmacy. They are fast, offer free same day delivery, and actually care about their customers. The only thing i would like to see is an app for refills.”

“Very happy with the CVS pharmacy in at 3800 Lexington located in Target. Staff is pleasant and refills are completed quickly. Do pay attention to pharmacy hours as they are not the same as Target.”

“Just cannot say it enough ... but the staff in the pharmacy have been SO incredibly helpful and kind. I am just so thankful to have found a pharmacy like this! I don't know the name of the gentleman I spoke with today (5/9/23 @ 11:00AM) but I will try and find out and update.... this man went above and beyond for me. SO GRATEFUL!”

“Pharmacist Steve is one of the best Pharmacists I've ever had the pleasure of working with in my entire life. It is obvious Steve genuinely cares about his customers as he treats them like a friend. He went above and beyond what I expected as a customer to ensure my prescriptions were filled in a timely manner. Steve expedited my order when he realized one of my prescriptions was on back order and went out of his way to give me a date to expect the shipment and also apologized for the delay. He is funny, kind, personable, and efficient. Steve exemplifies excellence and is a wonderful ambassador for the Walgreen's brand. Thank you, Steve, for going out of your way to ensure my happiness and satisfaction. Your kindness and personalized service really made my day. Thanks again, Steve. ?”
