I came to Walgreens to have some lab work done, and overall, I've had consistently positive…read moreexperiences at this location. One important tip: try your best to arrive before 2:45 PM--and honestly, even that may be cutting it close. On my most recent visit, I checked in around 2:40 PM and was informed that they wouldn't be able to accommodate me that day. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, though, and they referred me to another nearby location. Unfortunately, when I arrived there, the line was even longer, and they were unable to fit me in as well. Despite that experience, I still prefer getting my labs done at this Walgreens because the process is usually quick and efficient. Check-in is simple, and when timing works out, I'm generally in and out without any hassle. A few helpful tips for first-time visitors..... -Bring your photo ID and insurance card. -If you have a lab requisition from your physician, bring it with you. -If your provider submitted the order electronically, they can typically pull it up in their system. I've never had any issues receiving my lab results, and the staff have always been professional and courteous. My only suggestion would be to consider accommodating patients who have already checked in before the cutoff time, especially those who arrive before the 15-minute mark leading up to closing. It can be disappointing to complete the check-in process only to learn there isn't enough time to be seen. Overall, this is still one of my preferred locations for lab work because of the friendly staff and efficient service. If you're in the area and need labs done, just plan to arrive early and you should have a smooth experience. As always, you can thank me later!

Apparently it didn't register after I submitted my info but that's okay, I still had to wait about 20 more minutes. I was there at least an hour after my appointment. I understand they were short staff but it would have been nice to not have to wait that long. I have to say though they were very nice to me and I was very patient.

Came into this store for a prescription and walked around to see what other items they offer…read more Lots of food, cosmetics, seasonal items (Easter) , snacks items, candy, oTC medications, hygiene items, etc. The store a little messy. A/C units all around the store. Lots of promotional items. It's pretty busy inside the store. Downside to coming into the store is, if you're picking up a prescription you can't help but look to see what else you need. Convenience is always a good idea.

However, the new phone system will not transfer you to a live person, you're caught in endless questions and finally leave a message?

What is with CVS stores in general, does all of their pharmacies just suck? Granted the only reason…read moreI'm giving this location an extra star compared to the CVS on Chase & Avocado- is because they treat you like a person and don't judge you on your prescriptions. I had a horrific nightmare happen at the other location, the 2 Arabic pharm.techs decided they wanted to make fun of the fact that I'm on a certain prescription(no I'm not a dirty girl or on anything scary), they called me some really harsh things in Farsi. So when I turned back and retaliated at them , it shut them up fast. Yes, growing up in East County you too can learn other languages, and when your step father was always in in Iran, trust me you learn alot more than just the bad words.. But back to this location, its pretty much in the heart of the valley , filled with crackheads, weirdos, and people trying to constantly re fill their xanax prescriptions and pay for it with food stamps card. So no wonder there is always such a long ass line . The poor techs have to deal with everything and then some. But for the most part if you drive thru the drive thru , you are handled with care and with someone who is courteous and nice. Id say there are about 3 nice people that work back in the pharmacy other than the pharmacist himself. But it must be the location to put them in such shitty moods day in and day out. Sucks, but don't take it out on someone somewhat normal like me! Props to the little gay man with the curly q mustache, hes always uber nice. If you aren't gay, sorry , you just seem it , and there ain't nothin wrong with that! CVS is always gonna be an interesting joint, especially this one. Note to you: Don't sit on any of the chairs , or sit at the high blood pressure machine, Ive seen people puke, pee and poop themselves in all of those chairs. Just walk around til your name is called . Good luck and feel better!

In the midst of record high numbers with people testing positive for Covid and the Omicron Variant…read more Long lines for tests, cold medicine shortages and long waits for vaccinations is the current state. I decided to go online and book an appointment then go for a little drive East to get to this Pharmacy. At the entrance of Wal-Mart they have signage that says "Walk-Ins welcomed." That's great! I find the Pharmacy and there's only one person in front of me and one behind me. I check in and sit in a designated area. The person behind me was a walk in. Soon as my info has been entered in the system I'm told to breathe in and exhale. Somewhere in-between that few seconds I was given the booster. I didn't feel a thing. Unlike the first two shots there was the initial sting at the point of contact. This time nothing at all. I like when health professionals know what they're doing and cause no pain. The walk-in behind me gets their vax straight away and off we go to the 15 minute holding area. What a great experience. Online appointment process was easy and short to fill out. Easy to understand. The actual visit was quick and painless. I did notice a shortage on cough drops but this Wal-Mart location still had full stock on their cold and flu medications. If you want to avoid long lines this is a good place to go. Mel M Yelp 22:08
