No chain or health system Pharmacy will or even is able to provide the personalized & empathic service that Jay & his crew happily gives you. I rarely give this kind of review but Savco has earned it's unrivaled position as Santa Clara County's Best Pharmacy (according to this former County Commissioner, of a Santa Clara County Healthcare Planning Commission) with consistently premier service I've been given for over 2.5 decades of my depending on them. And I'm not a simple customer because I take between 13-15 meds a day, have debilitating chronic pain (2 meds), ADHD (2meds), Bipolar Type 1 (4meds), HIV+ (2meds), & minor others along with very frequent med changes. No other pharmacy has actually made my life easier & been pleasant to deal with. They provide many services including having your daily meds put into blister packs for the month, which makes dosing & compliance easier along with saving you time and avoiding frustration. And you can feel good knowing that you're keeping a local family owned business successful instead of supporting some soul-less corporation that doesn't give a dam.

I was so stressed after getting false hope over the phone from one place, only to be told in person that a steady supply couldn't be guaranteed. When I called, Jay answered promptly and immediately put my mind at ease. He not only confirmed that he could reliably provide my exact brand, but he proactively shared his inventory history for that specific medication to reassure me that I wouldn't face sudden shortages. Within minutes, he efficiently pulled up my insurance and completely took over the transfer process. That massive sense of relief continued right through pick-up. Jay remembered me from our call instantly, had me verify the pills matched exactly what I was expecting, and took the time to answer all my questions about future refills. Navigating medication changes and jumping between multiple pharmacies can be a stressful process for some. After trying nearly half the pharmacies in town, I am so thankful I finally landed here.

Plenty of parking spaces available in the parking lot. You can feel the lower income class folks and homeless population at times walking around asking for money in front of retail businesses. There are a few small restaurants options too. This Rite Aid location is easy to spot. Store was spacious to look around and pharmacy is operating. Grocery section is not bad. What I really liked was to be able to find the most Thrifty ice creams here with a huge variety of flavors to choose from. You can buy the 1.5 quart size Thrifty ice cream for $5.99 from the refrigerators, or go for over the counter Rite Aid ice cream which is my favorite. $2.79 for my single scoop cherry ice cream. Yes, plenty of mouth watering flavors to choose from. Delicious and special. Felt like a kid again, but it's no longer under $1 for sure. Two or three scoops would be too much for my appetite. Overall, good customer service at the ice cream counter. You have to pay for it at the cashier area in advance before they can serve you their ice cream. Lady was very helpful. Rite Aid had plenty of aisles to browse around for stuff. It felt empty in some aisles because most products are locked up or low in inventory. I still enjoyed my ice cream experience very much on multiple hot summer days, so I would consider revisiting next time. I'm glad that Thrifty ice cream still exists at this Rite Aid.

The only big issue here is the line that develops. I will say that the store is a bit cleaner, better stocked, and more organized than it has been in the recent past.

There are far worse locations to visit with a lot rougher looking patrons than this one. Overall I'm grateful it's right across the street from my apartment.

So a couple days ago I came into the CVS because I had my wisdom teeth pulled out and obviously I'm going to be in pain so my dentist prescribe me some pain medication and antibiotics so when I went to the CVS trying to fill up my prescription the Pharm Tech tells me that she cannot fulfill my order because this doctor supposedly cannot write this prescription out and I look at her in confusion like why can't he.. He's a dentist and he does have his medical license to write out prescription but you don't want to give it to me because you lost likely think I'm a drug seeking addict and she said I need to go back and get a prescription from a different dentist (which doesn't make sense because I'm also studying to be a pharmacy tech she) so I called my dentist office and see if it's possible to get another script from somebody else but when I called they told me don't go to CVS because they're weird about fulfilling prescriptions from any dentists. So instead of going back and forth to CVS I decided to go to Walgreens down the street from my house and they had no questions all they wanted was my ID just in case I was a drug seeking addict which was no problem but they fulfilled my script simple in 5 minutes and because of this process it took me 2 hours for me to get pain medication when I was in pain already so if you're planning to go to the pharmacy here and you have your pain medication fulfilled here don't bother they're probably going to make different excuses so they won't give it to you read more

My review focuses on the pharmacy here. I do most of my business here through the pharmacy. I don't like shopping here for items other than prescription meds because I find them to be rather expensive. I personally prefer Target for everyday things. The pharmacy here is super crowded during peak hours (i.e. 5-8pm). Waiting around an hour for your meds is normal. Worst of all, many of the pharma staff are down right rude, especially one older brunette lady that I don't remember her name. Of the countless times that I've been here to get drugs for my family, I rarely ever receive a smile. And I'm a very friendly dude! Too bad, this location is very convenient for me so I'm pretty much stuck with it. I try to come here earlier in the day to avoid the crowd, and that seems to help a lot. read more

I mainly shop here to buy liquor and/or household supplies. I find CVS to be an all around great drugstore for common needs. There isn't anything in particular that makes CVS stand out amongst the rest, but that doesn't mean it's not a convenient by store to have around. Being a night owl like myself, 24/7 stores like this are a huge plus in my book. Whether I'm in need of a midnight snack or need some serious cold medication because I can't sleep, I know where to go. As others have pointed out, there are obviously going to be a few weirdos hanging around especially during late hours. Although I've never had to deal with any weirdos approaching me, it's something to keep in mind. read more

The only reason I get my RX at this CVS is because it's close to my house otherwise I I would not go there. The people that work behind the pharmacy are rude. They're like college age girls or something. One is kind of chubby. I went up the counter - wanting to know where certain medications are - instead of stop talking to help me - they just ignore me and go on chatting....three of them. One is skinny. I had to raise my voice a bit - to get their attention. Everytime I go there - I encountered rudeness at that pharmacy. I wish I know of another pharmacy nearby. The Target at Capitol doesn't have a pharmacy -unfortunately. read more

This CVS Pharmacy being open 24 hours was a lifesaver. I left urgent care and went straight there, and the experience was incredibly smooth. I walked in, grabbed some tea, went to the pharmacy window and my medications were already ready. I honestly couldn't believe how efficient they were. The only downside is that there were quite a few homeless individuals lingering around the area, which made me not feel 100% safe. However, strictly speaking about the pharmacy service itself, the efficiency was outstanding. A+ for speed and convenience, especially for a late-night holiday prescription pickup. read more

Longs is a great place to grab your domestic beers. Anchor Steam, Gordon Biersch, Rolling Rock, Mirror Pond. We ran in here with a budget of 120 bucks, and we walked out with 80 long neck beers. If you take a look at the papers you can find a really good deal or two. Also, crucial 24 hours of operation! just be careful cuz they automatic doors only open half way so only one person can get in at a time. They should really have a sign warning people about that. Or not, and that's how you get to laugh about it all the way home. My friend's head is recovering nicely, thanks for asking. read more

Long story short, I have been going to Walgreens by my home for a while, but they have been slacking a few times and the people there seems miserable and unhelpful. My 4 year old son got an infection and needed antibiotics and Walgreens gave me the run around all day, till I finally came and said they were sold out and for me to call around and find a pharmacy that had it in stock to transfer my son's prescription. It's late and most pharmacies were closing so I was scared I wouldn't be able to help my son. I called McKee to see if they had the antibiotics in stock and they did, but was closing in 10 mins after I called around 6pm.
