We (spouse and I) never had a need for a compounding pharmacy before as we have our typical prescriptions automatically refilled via another company. However, when our family need one-off prescriptions filled (after urgent care visits, etc.), we tend to go to either CVS/Walgreens and the likes. Yesterday evening, after a Pediatric Urgent Care visit for our kiddo, we were given a prescription that was sent to CVS inside Target. They then told us they can't fill it and we need to go to a main store like CVS/Walgreens that is a standalone brick and mortar store (meaning not inside another store). After calling several nearby CVS/Walgreens standalone stores, no one can fill the prescription. Finally, someone mentioned to us that we need a "compounding pharmacy". We Yelped for a compounding pharmacy and called Diablo Pharmacy, which was still open. Unfortunately, Diablo Pharmacy had one of the main ingredients listed in the prescription in powder form, which isn't the liquid form called out in the prescription (that's a no go for us since the Urgent Care physician confirmed the powder form wouldn't be as effective). Although we didn't fill our kiddo's prescription with this pharmacy due to one ingredient needed that wasn't an exact match as the one prescribed, we felt that this business deserves the five star rating. They were great to work with and for that, we're grateful for. read more

My dad goes to this pharmacy, and I'm writing this review on his behalf. PJ Jahan, one of the pharmacists here, is truly one of the best we've ever worked with. On multiple occasions, there were issues with my father's prescription refills, and PJ consistently went above and beyond to make sure my dad received his medication on time. His dedication, kindness, and professionalism made a stressful situation so much easier for our family. I sincerely hope his leadership recognizes his value--he absolutely deserves it, and honestly, a promotion too! read more

P.J. is great and open till 7pm (very helpful). Downstairs from urgent care which made it very convenient! I highly recommend this pharmacy! My insurance was welcomed too! read more

I highly recommend the pharmacy! The pharmacist take such good care of the patients that come in. I've watched him help customers in line before me and he will make sure you know how to take your medicine and if you have any questions you can call. He is very kind and cares about people. read more

PJ goes above and beyond to service the needs of his clients/patients. He finds way and means to deliver on a timely manner and make all transactions easy and smooth sailing. Thank you PJ and Diablo Pharmacy for your consistent care and service. read more

I went to Diablo Pharmacy this evening for the first time to pick up a prescription that was unavailable at our usual Safeway Pharmacy. Upon arrival, the Pharm Tech informed me that I would need to wait 15-20 mins as PJ, the Pharmacist / Business owner was out doing a delivery. PJ raced into the store in leggings and a t- shirt and started to cause havoc out back. He initially helped the lady ahead of me and then when it came to my turn started to yell at me stating that I needed to call my son's physician to transfer the prescription to their Pharmacy. After about 10 mins of diligence on my end, confirming that the prescription had been in fact sent to PJ's Diablo Pharmacy he started to yell and get aggresive toward me. Threatening to leave the store without filling my son's prescription if I did not call his Dr.'s office. I started to pull out my phone to share that the prescription had in fact been sent to Diablo, when additional threats / insults were hurled my way! At this point, I looked up at PJ's wife (a pleasant lady who was also at the store), and she started to make amends and apologize for her husband's atrocious display! "He's had a long day" she suggested, before PJ continued with his aggressive / barraging remarks. Save yourself the time and rude customer service. Go to a real Pharmacy! read more

Don't listen to any negative reviews about this place or the owner. I've never seen a pharmacist work so hard to take care of their customers. It's a one man shop, so act accordingly. If you need to pick something up, be sure to call ahead of time to make sure he's there and available. PJ is a real guy, he doesn't put up with nonsense. He will take care of your prescription needs with ease. Support small businesses! Don't keep going to Rite Aid, Walgreens, CVS, etc. Go to Diablo Pharmacy, the best pharmacy in the Bay Area. read more

I have been going to this pharmacy for 3 months now. I drive 30 miles just for the great customer service that PJ provides. He always greets me with a smile and good conversation. read more

PJ The owner is amazing and has helped me time and again with my insurance. Anything I need! Much better service than I could ever get from a chain pharmacy. Highly recommend!! read more

Unfortuneatly, I will not be returning. I say "Unfortunately", as I have been there before and got good service. However, one time a while ago, just as I got there, he ran out the door to go chat with someone. Minutes later he finally returns, saying he hadn't seen that person for a while and needed to chat with her. I'm left thinking "uh, wow, really. So chatting with a friend is more important than taking care of a customer?" What happened today though made it the last straw! Just as I got there, he was walking out the door to go chat with a couple guys. He held the door open for me, so obviously he knew I was now a customer. I stood there in the shop watching him chat with two guys outside that were apparently delivery guys for the pharmacy. I waited a full 2 minutes, at which time I figured enough is enough, and I walked out. He said something to me and I just waved at him and kept walking. I mean, what a joke! it's like chatting with a couple of guys is more important than taking care of a customer! Apparently, HIS time is way more important than MY time! Yep, sorry to say I'm done with that place. read more

I brought my non verbal autistic son to a doctors appointment on 7/16. After we were done, he wanted to go into the little pharmacy near the front of the building. He found some candy ( the cheap giveaway kind for kids) on the side of the counter and proceeded to grab the two containers. The woman working there didn't seem to mind. Admittedly he was taking a lot but it was hard to stop him. In time I would have got most of it back but i never got the chance. Just then, this man comes out from the back and proceeds to yank the candy containers away from my son. He seemed very angry about what he was doing and was absolutely terrible to deal with. I have NEVER dealt with someone like this before. You DON'T JUST GRAB things from a person like my son, he doesn't understand, and it could cause other issues. In 34 years nobody has been as outwardly annoyed and angry at my son like this man was. If you have a special needs child - do not take them into this pharmacy. It is a hostile environment. This guy should be ashamed of himself. You would have thought I had a weapon and was robbing him. SMDH. read more

Phenomenal service. They were super fast, very polite and extremely helpful. Thank you!!!!!

PJ is the absolute best. A+ for service . He always goes above and beyond for his patients! Good old fashioned customer service.

Diablo Pharmacy is fantastic. Personalized service with a smile (and laughter). PJ, the pharmacist, goes above and beyond to make sure your prescriptions are available and ready for pickup when you need them... which isn't a guarantee at some other pharmacies around town. read more

Don't waste your time. He's rude. His hours are a joke, he says to call him and he will meet you. What a waste of time of your customers, why not just be there? Came here to support local but that was a huge mistake. I called him many times before he closed and her never answered! read more

I was discharged from the hospital and the pharmacist did a special favor and filled a medication for me CVS could not. When the medication ran out I called and spoke with the pharmacist to see if I could I have my doctor refill it with him and he said he did not want my business. He was very rude to me and I told him I would be writing a bad review. read more

Amazing that there's a pharmacy that really cares about you.Would you rather talk to an experienced pharmacist About your meds or deal with the Giants staffed by uncaring people.PJ knows his stuff and truly cares about you. This is the only place I'm going to from now on.This is a family business.Im so glad I found this place.People need to understand the liabilities the these people deal with.Thats why many are hands off. If your lucky you will be able to use these people read more

Outstanding and very personal service . Outdoes any other pharmacy in the area . PJ is friendly and bends backwards to help my patients. All other larger retail pharmacies, especially the Pharmacists, need to get an education on how to speak on phone with doctors and patients who call them on phone . read more

This is by far the best pharmacy around. Excellent Personalized Service. PJ (The Owner) always welcomes you with open arms. It is the most pleasant experience you will ever encounter. He's simply the best !!!! I highly recommend getting all your prescriptions here. You will never go elsewhere. Lea P read more

PJ is the best. We were recommended by our pediatrician and he is really amazing when it comes to working his 'magic' so you don't pay those crazy prices on prescriptions even when the insurance companies may want to screw you over. He was able to get our prescription down to $100 less than what CVS or Walgreens was going to charge with a discount and now with COVID he was able to get us a special coupon to cut down our prescription down to double digit cost vs. triple digit costs! He is direct, informative and always willing to help or give advice. Some people (based on the reviews here) may need fluff, sunshine and glitter but he's straight to business and is a really nice guy...no fluff! Different strokes for different folks. For our family personally, he's been super helpful! He is the best and we're so lucky we found him...we're moving so we're sad to leave PJ and his amazing service but hope to find another great independent pharmacist like PJ. Thanks for all your help throughout the years! read more

PJ is absolutely phenomenal; he is the sole proprietor and pharmacist at Diablo Pharmacy. We've been going to PJ for six years and would not consider using another pharmacist. PJ treats all of his customers with good old fashioned and genuine customer service that seems so rare to find. He treats all of his customers with the utmost importance and concern. You will have a difficult time finding another PJ. He's a rare human and pharmacist indeed. read more

Best pharmacy I've found in the area. The pharmacist (PJ) is incredibly helpful, can do compounding, and has always gone above and beyond for me and my family. Can't recommend them enough. read more

He is also very open in helping to understand the products.We all know that either people don't know or choose not to help .PJ is a good soul,I'm so happy to have found him. Thanks PJ. You will not be dissatisfied with this business. read more

Pj talks too much and is never in office during his hours. Save yourself the hassle and just get your medicine sent to a real pharmacist.

This is a small pharmacy owned by the pharmacist himself, P.J. He will go the extra mile to help you out! I was visiting from out of the area and had forgotten my meds at home. I called Diablo Pharmacy to check if they were open. P.J. answered and said he was planning to close in 45 minutes. He asked what I needed so explained my situation. He called my hometown pharmacy and was able to refill my prescription. He waited until I was able to get there to pick up the meds. I was very grateful! It truly is "A small pharmacy with a big heart!" read more

PJ the pharmacist is the most kind thoughtful person I have been a patient of his since he open his door. I have had to leave the area and PJ has continued to send me my meds always on time so I never worry if I will get my meds on time I highly recommend and he is worth putting your health in his hands!!! read more

The nicest, kindest, and brightest pharmacist you'll ever meet. And if you have time to talk for a bit, you will get some of the best medicine.......laughter. You also get excellent education about your medications, as he will take the time to answer all your questions. PJ also provides what's often missing in the medical system, personal caring. He blends quality customer service with expert knowledge. Oh, and don't forget to ask him about the Warriors! read more

This us my favorite pharmacy on the west coast. P.J., the owner and pharmacist is polite, funny and he knows my name. I moved here from NY last year and from my very first experience, I loved him and the service he provides! He fills the prescriptions right on the spot and keeps you smiling while he does it. In this day of factory type pharmacy's , its nice to be recognized as a person and not a name or forced smile. In fact, I travel 20 minutes to get my prescriptions filled because of him. read more

I drive 50 miles to have PJ fill my prescriptions. He is the owner and pharmacist and is the nicest guy you'll ever meet. He actually cares about you, as a patient, customer, and as a human being. I cannot say enough about this place. I'll never go to a big retail pharmacy again. PJ is my pharmacist and Diablo Pharmacy is my pharmacy for as long as I live here in this area. read more

PJ is the best! Personable, kind and generous person with extensive knowledge in his field! I recently had emergency surgery for gallbladder removal. PJ personally drove to my home dropped off my pain medication. PJ is no ordinary pharmacist! I give PJ 5 stars for great service and job well done on a daily basis! read more

Very knowledgable pharmacist and gives you 110% attention. Great personal service and PJ even delivers locally. Highly suggest Diablo Pharmacy over the big chain drug stores! read more

The owner is very nice. He is the only one the works there. It's like old world customer service. I think he would literally bend over backwards for his customers once you are established with him. It's nice to see that in this day and age. With big national chains disappointing customers left and right more people should return to the smaller neighborhood dependable pharmacy. read more

This whole thing played out like a fairy tale for me. Bear with my storytelling as it is a happy ending. My family & I moved to San Ramon a month ago. I have depended on my neighborhood CVS / Longs for over 10 years with only the occasional issue maybe once or twice every year or so. Well, after establishing a physician's care here and obtaining my needed monthly scripts, I then naturally deferred to the closest CVS as my pharmacy of choice. CVS Diablo Shopping Ctr. on San Ramon Valley Blvd to be exact. Well, they had only a portion of my meds, the one not available was a critical one. They said if they ordered it that day they could have it in 2 days. Hm. Sorry, that's a terrible option. I asked her what other options do I have? Could she call another location? She obliged. Fast forward to me driving AWAY from CVS DANVILLE without the medication because they did not have the generic less costly version, but they DID have the brand version which would have cost only $500. Danville WAS kind enough to call their OTHER Danville store on Camino Tassajahara to see if they had what I needed but they too were out. They were EXPECTING a delivery the next day but could not guarantee it. OK CVS. Three strikes and YOU'RE OUT (in more ways than 1)! I'll give credit to the ladies that helped me as they did seem willing to be of some help but it was one of those "out of their control" scenarios so unless they were outright rude or unhelpful with me there was really no issue with their customer service. Side Note: I have to divulge that while waiting in line at BOTH CVS stores I overheard comments from other customers about their disgruntled opinions of CVS. Long waits, Understaffed, Incompetent Pharmacist (I over heard this, this does not reflect my CVS experience), Always out of what I need. GEEZ!! Get me out of here! After 10 years of loyal personal investment, I said goodbye to CVS. The inventory issue is a big one. You don't mess around with people's meds without having to pay a consequence. Whether it's an issue of poor inventory /ordering techniques at the store level or a bigger corporate issue, I'm not hanging around to find out. It gets better/worse. I then decide to try Rite Aid (the one in Crow Canyon Place with the Ice Cream counter). Surprise! THEY didn't have it EITHER! So now I'm starting to feel like I'M the unreasonable one because I have this unique Script request! NOT!! The clerk said that I was like the SIXTH person that day that needed something they were out of. OOPS! I can't believe she said it out loud let alone to my face. She ALSO said they could have it in 2 days. Nope. I'm done with Rite Aid Pharmacy now as well. I should really call it NO Aid Pharmacy. They DO have awesome ice cream though so my trip was not a total bust. This was all on a Wednesday. Next day I decide to try this place (Diablo) as I noticed there were no reviews or ratings so I assumed it was relatively new and worth a shot. It was also on the way home from my kids' school so also very convenient. (this is the Fairy Godmother part of the story) It is important to mention that this store is in the Bishop Medical Offices Park on the ground level of the 2301 building. Truly a hidden gem. From what I understand is effective signage is an obstacle for the business as they are not allowed much. Strict guidelines as per property management which is understandable for a medical community. I walk in and am IMMEDIATELY greeted by Operator/Owner/Pharmacist P.J. Jahan. Mr. Jahan was friendly, extremely informative, and helpful. Not only that, they HAD what I needed in stock. I was immediately put into the system and he generated my prescription in less than 10 minutes. Faster than any Big Name Pharmacy and charged the minimum Co pay for script. The business is only 7 or 8 months old so they are still settling in to some degree. I leave this LONG review in hopes that others will see the importance in supporting our local independent pharmacists vs. Giving your hard earned dollar to the Corporate Super Massive Black Hole. I will be leaving my Yelp feedback for CVS and RITE AID on the flip side. I will also be using Diablo Pharmacy & Wellness from now on. Thank You Diablo Pharmacy and it's Owner Mr. Jahan! You rock! read more

Diablo Pharmacy should be the model for how every privately owned pharmacy should be run- with individual attention to the patient and creating a sense of community in an area where it is much lacking. I found Diablo Pharmacy online years ago after the apathetic and utterly indifferent treatment I received from the major chains. The owner PJ is one of the hardest working people I've met and he will do everything in his power to make sure you receive the treatment you need. I moved a few cities away recently, but i still make the effort to come here whenever I can. 5 stars. read more

PJ is awesome and I always leave cracking up with a story to tell at home! I had surgery recently and the nurse called in a prescription from the desk for me. I could see a smile grow on her face and she said, "Yes - she's fine - I'll tell her." She hung up and came over and said, "You can NEVER go back to CVS - I've never had a pharmacist react to my phone call like that." Don't worry, I won't. read more

PJ at Diablo Pharmacy & Wellness in San Ramon. PJ is the sole owner and pharmacist. He treats all of customers with good old fashioned genuine customer service that seems so rare to find. He treats all of customers with the utmost importance and concern. You will not find another pharmacy or pharmacist like this one. I formerly used San Ramon Custom Care and had horrible experiences and customer service there. I was so lucky to find PJ! read more

THE BEST service I have ever received! This was our first time to go to this pharmacy to pick up two prescriptions for our son. One was ready right away, but one we had to wait for. We told them we needed to go to another appt, but we would pick it up the next day. The pharmacist said they would deliver it to us later. We live in Livermore, he said no problem. I was shocked that he really did deliver it to our home 2 hours later! Plus we owed $6.50 and he said do not worry about it. To pay it the next time we were in. Unbelievable service, the kind you wish you had everywhere! 5+ stars! ! read more
