This pharmacy is a lifeline - no lines and they are diligent in providing service in a very challenging industry. The pharmacist is always available to answer questions about the medications and explain any options about how to take them and what to consider of how they work with supplements and/or other medications. I honestly don't understand, after being a customer at CVS and Vons, why one would continue to stand in line and give up the customer service here. read more

What a wonderful pharmacy. I was so sick of CVS and rite aid "never having" my prescriptions. They are kind and caring and always answer the phone when I call. read more

Saved me during difficult times. Really pulled through. Special kind of pharmacist. He loves what he does and has a great team. read more

Recently Carmel valley pharmacy took over the prescription that I used to have compounded by Gelsons Pharmacy. Gelson Pharmacy closed. I was surprised that they charge over 100% more for that particular compounded medicine than Gelson did for a smaller size. I find that to be userous Too much and will find another pharmacies that is in line with what the prescription should cost. In response to the owner, you have me confused with perhaps another customer that was unhappy with your compounding prices. I do not have a husband that you spoke to and I certainly didn't yell at any of your employees (not my style). I accepted the price as I needed the prescription. I have called another compounding pharmacy that quoted Gelson's pricing. read more

I like coming here because it's close to my office & they have super cute stuff in their store to look at while you wait for your Rx to be filled. Professional & friendly staff. read more

These guys are the best! When my mother in law had Covid. They went above and beyond for her. When they gave her an inhaler machine, they were nice enough to do a video tutorial FROM THE STORE!! Who does this! I hope they get the attention they deserve for their outstanding!!! read more

I can't say enough great things about this pharmacy! I take a fairly niche medication for narcolepsy and switched to Carmel Valley Pharmacy after Vons and CVS never had it in stock. It's a controlled substance so there are many hoops to jump through with prior authorizations and my doctor needing to be very specific with the doses. Leah, Mercy, and everyone I've ever talked to at Carmel Valley Pharmacy truly advocate for their patients! More than once they've bent over backward to help me navigate the complexities with my doctor and insurance when I was stuck. Thank you so much!! read more

Unbelievable service and prescriptions are always on time if not ready early! They are worth the transfer to

I am so thankful I found this place today. EVERYONE was extremely helpful and I was out of there in minutes. I cannot stand CVS or similar and I am so happy to have found Carmel Valley Pharmacy. You now have a customer for life!!! Keep up the great work and I really like your inventory selection. I even got a wedding card for my niece and some birthday decor. Love it and thanks again! read more

I highly endorse this pharmacy. As a physician, having moved to the area 4 years ago, I am very impressed with the personalized service offered at Carmel Valley Pharmacy. The pharmacy staff are always engaging and ready to help. The delivery service is prompt and super-reliable. read more

This is the most genuine and caring pharmacist I have ever met! He truly cares about your health and wants you to be healed not just sell drugs! He recommended a supplement for my daughter, she was suffering with pulmonary vein stenosis and he recommended modified citrus pectin. This supplement has healed my daughter. I do have a strong faith so I believe God healed her. . . Perhaps through bringing me to this pharmacist that is so knowledgeable and filled with wisdom on how to truly heal people! Amen!!! read more

I am so grateful that my doctor recommended this pharmacy to me. All of the staff are extremely helpful, pleasant and kind ALL of the time. I also love the great selection of gifts that they have-so unique. I rarely leave with just my prescriptions. This pharmacy and staff are the true definition of customer service. They treat you like family, not like a lowly number as the big pharmacies do. read more

What a nice welcome to the Carmel Valley community! I attended the grand opening event back in February and had a great time meeting the staff and checking out the goodies for sale at this pretty pharmacy. For the record, I don't plan on getting my prescriptions filled here since my health insurance through Kaiser doesn't allow it . No big deal, but I love, love, love the merchandise they sell at CV Pharmacy since they sell so many cute things that I like and all under one roof. The parking lot in this strip mall is a whole lot tolerable to deal with, so I'm glad they didn't open up in Del Mar Highlands right behind its location or I'd be inclined to go only when I'm in need of a last minute gift. I love the soy candles they sell here. I burn candles often at home because I like our home smelling nice and as crazy as this may sound, it works as a stress reliever when I smell nicely scented candles at home. We bought the strawberry mint soy candle and I love how it makes our bedroom so fragrant. I don't like it when the fragrance is so strong where it gives me a headache, but the soy candles sold here are perfect. My hubby also bought me this pretty, colorful infinity scarf here. I wore it to a Super Bowl Party the next day and received a lot of compliments on it. I plan on returning back soon since Mother's Day will be here before you know it and I can get my sister-in-law one since she really liked mine, lol. They're only twenty dollars too, so it's a good deal for something that's so pretty. Overall, this is a great new pharmacy that I hope will flourish in the coming years.They take pride in their ten minute service to get a prescription filled, so I wouldn't be surprised if more residents living in Carmel Valley and Del Mar move their prescriptions here than going to the local Vons, Rite-Aid and CVS stores. Support the small businesses that are trying to do good in this crazy world and buy a candle during your short wait for your prescription. read more

I love this place. They deliver and are very sweet. It's a very family centric business.

What a wonderful place. Normally I wouldn't go here but I needed a compounded medicine. They are just so helpful. They called me right after having my prescription sent to them to find out when I wanted to pick it up. Wow!!! read more

Amazing place. Excellent service. Knowledgeable staff. Any place that cares for its customers - gets a 5 star. The folks were able to special order my vitamins supply and ping me when it arrived a couple of days later. If you have been using pharmacy chains like RiteAid, CVS et al, I suggest that you try this place out. You will love the experience. RiteAid and CVS missed my refill schedules often and blamed it on my doctor's office. It used to take me more than a couple of visits to CVS to get my refills. Not so at Carmel Valley Pharmacy. You get a call a week in advance of the refill due date, to get a confirmation. A couple of days later, you get a call that it is ready. Pricing: I marked it inexpensive to mean "i don't care a whole lot'. I am sure for most things, you can find a cheaper option on the net; not necessarily a better one. So... YMMV. read more

The staff is awesome! They always go the extra mile to help out. Very professional and service with a smile. Highly recommend Carmel Valley Pharmacy. read more

Really happy with the service this pharmacy provides me (as a physician) and my patients. The pharmacist is superb, knowledgeable and easy to talk to. My patients rave about the time frames they get their prescriptions, and have never mentioned an issue with this pharmacy, which is a LOT to be said! Highly recommend. read more

Wonderful shopping!! Also, the staff is very kind, caring, ultra accommodating, and fast! This pharmacy reminds me of what they must've been like in the good old days... a true "neighborhood" pharmacy and gift shop! read more

This is hands down the best pharmacy I have been to in San Diego. It reminds me of the country pharmacy that I would go to when growing up. I take a drug that is quite rare and therefore you may have to wait a day for them to get it in for your initial prescription, however after that they will likely have it in stock for you when your prescription needs re-filling. That has certainly been my experience. When you go in to fill a normal prescription your wait will only be 10 minutes. Nothing like CVS making you wait an hour. I can't recommend this pharmacy highly enough. Their customer service is second to none. read more

I was very impressed with this pharmacy. The pharmacist took time to explain the prescription in details and the staff was very friendly. The place is very clean with lots of unique gift items. An independent pharmacy cares about the well-being of its customers! read more

I found this place on Yelp. My doc had previously sent my compounding prescription to the place in Ximed and the service was the worst every time. So I decided to ask them to send it somewhere else and it was the opposite experience. Everyone was nice and efficient and communicated with me. And it has a cute store too and I was able to get some gifts I needed. read more

Once you use this great little pharmacy you'll never want to go back to RiteAid or Walmart for your medication. The entire staff are extremely well-trained and always professional while simultaneously treating you like family. My child takes a variety of medication for his mental health condition. This is a sensitive issue and I need to feel comfortable asking about these medications. I've never had a Pharmacy I could trust the way I do with Carmel Valley Pharmacy. read more

Beware of this horrible business: they gave me the item containing the non-prescription ingredient I can't tolerate/severely allergic to, despite me telling them multiple times it can't be included. I drove long way to pick up the item and only discovered the error when I got back - I'd be VERY ill if I used it. They did not apologize and only offered to prepare replacement with me paying full price minus $10. $10 is now these dishonest people who shouldn't be in business value an hour of your time. I'll be filing complaint against them with the state and my insurance; they should not be allowed to defraud people. read more

I started getting my pet medications here because it is so much cheaper than getting it from my vet - compound medication. Tarek and staff are all very friendly and helpful. Reminders are a real nice gesture as well. read more

I love this place! Such a refreshing change from chain pharmacies or even Vons pharmacy where I am generally happy with their service but is always so busy. At Carmel Valley Pharmacy they can literally fill prescriptions on the spot while you wait for a few minutes. And the store is lovely with lots of cool gift ideas and the staff is super friendly and helpful. Awesome and feels like a real return to excellent, simple customer service. read more

I received the most wonderful customer service that I have ever received from a pharmacy. The pharmacist was extremely knowledgeable and caring and the whole staff was very friendly and helpful. They even offered my son a coloring book while he waited. It is rare to find a place with such outstanding customer service from all of the staff members and I really appreciate it! read more

best local pharmacy , staff is great !!! Great gifts and cards and if you need anything else for your home when the family is sick they have it, SUPPORT THIS LOCAL Business. I transferred everyones prescriptions over to this pharmacy read more

I highly recommend this pharmacy over the grocery store chains where you are just another number. Tareq and Vanessa are so nice and caring. They go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and wanted. I love this neighborhood pharmacy feel with all the technology of the big retail chains. Thank you for always helping me so graciously. Love Chris and pinky read more

Carmel Valley Pharmacy provides service that feels like an old-fashioned neighborhood pharmacy. They remember my name, offer great personalized medication instruction and even offer alternative medicine solutions. Highly recommend them! read more

I absolutely love, love this pharmacy. It's close to my home but best of all, they have the best customer service. The staff is very knowledgable and so pleasant to work with. I really appreciate them calling to remind me when my medication is coming up for a refill. I will never go to a chain pharmacy again, unless I desperately need to. Oh, and they have the cutest and most unique gifts. read more

After reading the reviews, I just went to this pharmacy for the first time and it really was excellent! I'd been going to CVS previously and dealing with very long wait times and a lot of inconsistency. This was the exact opposite. The customer service is amazing, my prescription was ready around 10 times faster than at CVS and it was a much more comfortable atmosphere. I highly recommend this pharmacy! read more

big fan of this family owned pharmacy, always on top of it and great at getting me the best price on meds. i will only use this outfit when. possible read more

What a relief! A knowledgeable, friendly, fast pharmacy. I used to dread going to the pharmacy, now I actually kind of look forward to it. A great addition to the community! read more

I love Carmel Valley Pharmacy! I recently moved to the area, and had been using the local rite aid for my pharmaceutical needs (what a nightmare). Thankfully, my sister told me about this little spot just around the corner and WHAT a difference. Every time I've called to refill a prescription or just ask a question the service is both prompt and kind. I just cannot say enough about the amazing staff. I had been in quite a few times before I met the owner and was so happy I did. Prepping for a survey, I had picked up a few pre and post-op medications and he took the time to go over how to properly use everyone; it felt like I was being instructed by a family member just because of the amount of care he invested to me. Thanks Carmel Valley Pharmacy! You guys are a life saver :) read more

This small neighborhood pharmacy goes the extra mile for their customers. I have gotten amazing one on one service. They even offered to deliver my medications if I could not make it during pharmacy hours to pick them up. On multiple occasions they were able to take the time to answer my questions and provide great service. Just as they were recommended by friends, I would recommend the Carmel Valley Pharmacy to everyone. read more

I can't say enough good things about Carmel Valley Pharmacy. Everyone who works there has been wonderful. They are friendly and knowledgeable. The pharmacists actually remember you and give you personalized advise. I would pay more to use them, but I haven't had to yet. read more

What a great surprise to find this family-run pharmacy!! They got my prescription done correctly and quickly. Such a welcome escape from the big name guys where I always have to wait forever with sick kids in tow. Super nice pharmacist and staff. Really nice gift section too- great spot to grab a hostess gift. Love their card selection. I'm really excited this place opened up locally! read more

After standing in the pharmacy line at Vons for more than 10 minutes, with no progress toward the counter, I decided I was done with the big pharmacies. It wasn't even the wait that bothered me, it was the fact that no one seemed to care that 5 of us were waiting. I decided then and there to try Carmel Valley Pharmacy. I went in the next day and they prepared my prescriptions in minutes. They were also extremely helpful and nice. They have a lot of cute things in the store, too. I really hope they are successful, because it's seems like they'll be a great addition to the community. read more

I decided to switch over to this pharmacy mainly because I was tired of long lines, waiting times and the ball being dropped on getting my prescriptions several times at CVS. Consumer Reports ran an article and survey results about pharmacies, and I've been looking for a mom and pop place ever since. Now I have none of the above problems. The pharmacists are very knowledgeable, much more helpful than at CVS, even with finding better prices. They are a compounding pharmacy, which is a plus, too. Even the parking situation is better, and they do home delivery for a very reasonable price, too. read more
