Unfortunately, this pharmacy is no longer on the preferred pharmacy list with my health insurance. When I filled a script here recently, they could only fill one month's worth of meds, but I didn't find this out until I picked up. It would've been helpful if they told me when they ran my insurance and then give me a choice whether I still wanted to go through them to fill my Rx and get only 30 days of meds and then have to come back 2 more times in the next 2 months to get the rest of my full script of 90 days or to go somewhere else. I'm not sure if it's same cost to fill a 3 months script split over 3 times or not, but the inconvenience factor is a consideration for me. When I found out and the cashier explained why, she was not friendly about it. She was kind of curt and borderline rude about it, like I should've known (things could change even with the same health insurance every year) and that they have no responsibility to let me know ahead of time that they can only fill 1/3 of a 90 days script now. Anyways, they also started charging a surcharge for credit card usage and this wasn't always the case. It's only 25c for $10 charged for example, but it's the principle of passing on costs to customers when it's really the overhead that a pharmacy that's quite established should expect. Or only accept cash, but I imagine that would turn away many customers. In any case, I may have to find a new pharmacy now, unfortunately. Even though I want to continue to support a small business, the customer service piece should be as good if not better. We walked around a bit afterwards and although the gifts they sell are different and unique, the sticker shock was unreal. read more

See all

Excellent service! ! Great attitude!! Good service! Wonderful doorman great attitude!!

Parkside Pharmacy is truly a gem in Sacramento. The owners and staff are consistently kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely attentive--you can tell they care about the people who walk through their doors. It's also so much more than a pharmacy. Their boutique is beautifully curated with unique gifts, home décor, accessories, and special finds you won't see everywhere else. I almost always discover something I didn't know I needed. Supporting local businesses like Parkside helps keep our community strong and allows independently owned businesses that truly care about their customers to continue thriving! Parkside has exceptional service, a welcoming atmosphere, and is a wonderful local business that you will not regret supporting. I highly recommend Parkside Pharmacy for both your pharmacy needs and a little boutique shopping while you're there! read more

Wonderful service, excellent quality offered by friendly people. In addition, a very interesting gift shop lies within, proving unique expressions of thoughtful care for every occasion. Simply, it is a very nice and comfortable store to frequent. read more

It was a very easy process to get my prescription filled and quick! Also, very good people! Thank you!

10/10 experience with Parkside. great service & awesome care. Will recommend to friends

Love Lisa! She gives a great massaging facial and my skin always looks amazing afterwards. I go monthly.

I was in a bind and trying to get a new prescription filled that morning for my cat who just had surgery and it was a work day for me. They worked with me and got me my cats much needed meds as soon as possible. It really made the post surgery process easier and allowed me a chance to breathe a bit. Thank you all so much for working with me on this. read more

Parkside Pharmacy - Cat Tax! Omri Katz - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Sacramento, California

Parkside Pharmacy & Spa is a great place to get a facial. Lisa Austin does an amazing job. I see her once a month and my face has never looked better! Lisa always identifies what my skin needs are and approaches each appointment with what I would most benefit from. I trust her completely with each treatment and leave her relaxed and glowing. read more

The boutique spa located within the pharmacy is phenomenal. Lisa, the esthetician, is very knowledgeable and her facials will leave you glowing! I highly recommend experiencing one of her facials. She knows skin and particularly 'mature' skin! read more

The store is clean, bright, and pleasant to shop in. It's next to the La Bou cafe and Sprouts in Land Park. We like to support local and this pharmacy is locally owned and has provided good to great services when we come in for our Rx. Sometimes they're a little bit backed up, but they usually keep you updated if you're waiting in person. If you call in your prescription or your Rx was sent in by your medical provider, then Parkside will call you and let you know when your Rx is ready to be picked up. One star deducted for the astronomically high prices at the front of the pharmacy. Literally everything is artificially inflated in price so that if you really needed an essential, it's truly a rip-off if you buy it here. Of course one must understand they are selling you these items for the convenience that you are already at the pharmacy and do not need to stop at a general store like Walmart or Target for more reasonably priced everyday items like toothpaste, OTC ointment, etc. So we only get our Rx here and that's it. The gift items are even more outrageously priced, but they are beautiful to look at, and they have a large assortment of gifts. They also have testers for lotions and such items and that's nice bc then you'll know if you will like the feel and fragrance of the lotion, cream, or other scented items. All in all, this is a nice pharmacy and we hope they'll continue to do well so those of us who really don't like getting our Rx from a corporate pharmacy can keep getting our meds here. read more

This part is the 5 stars for the pharmacy. Great service for my dogs medication. They made it easy to take care of. Called when ready and then delivered to my house the rest of the medication that was not available. They have treats for dogs and humans. The front of the store has amazing products and merchandise that I just wanted to buy everything. The only thing I didn't like was that the front store clerks kinda follow you around. Im not sure if they have problems with shop lifters but the constant staring had me a little tense. I did end up buying a couple of things but that detail had me a little frazzled and uncomfortable. The pharmacy section is in the back and they are a whole other operation. Plenty of parking across the street from the Sac Zoo and next to a diner and Sprouts. read more

AMAZING PHARMACY. The best staff and customer service! Highly recommend this pharmacy for prescriptions. They take care of all my pets' prescriptions read more

Called in two prescription refills on Thursday. By Monday, I received a text saying one prescription was ready. I drove over around noon thinking, "Great, efficient!" Nope. Was told the second prescription wouldn't be ready until the end of the day because "we just started to work on it", and I'd need to come back again tomorrow. Apparently "refill" means "surprise side quest." Now let's talk customer service. After standing in line for a while, the clerk, Giselle, finally looked up and hit me with a dry "Pick up prescription?" No hello. No eye contact. No "give me one moment." Just pure DMV-at-4:59-PM energy. To be fair, she did check on the second prescription status, so I'll give credit where it's due. What made the experience extra noticeable was watching the white customer behind me immediately receive a bright, cheerful: "Hi! How are you today?" Ah yes... so greetings are apparently a premium feature package. Good to know my POC money spends the same, even if my POC face doesn't qualify for basic warmth. Look, nobody expects a pharmacy to feel like Disneyland. People are tired, busy, and overworked. But basic courtesy costs nothing, and poor customer service leaves a bigger impression than people realize. Customers may forget the wait time, but they remember how they were treated. read more

Amazing customer service!! Bella did a great job with being attentive on the phone and answered all of my questions. This pharmacy takes care of my medications and medications for my pets! read more

John, Megan and the entire staff over at Parkside Pharmacy went above and beyond for me! I have been doing business with John and his staff since 2024. As a transgender person I had difficulty getting a much needed medicine. John was there to listen to my personal story/struggle and he was able to come up with a solution. He even helped me with understanding my medication, and finding more cost effective measures. Compounding Pharmacies are very much needed in my community. I am so lucky to have found John. I got a great price, understanding staff, courteous service, and honest business ethics. Best of all my prescriptions come right to my door! I recommend Parkside Compounding Pharmacy to anyone! You won't be disappointed. If you are looking for an honest business, with people who care, then Parkside is where it's at! I look forward to a seamless continuous relationship with Parkside! Regards, Raanan read more

Recently transferred my prescriptions to Parkside and they are the best!! Bella helped me out and she answered all of my questions. I love coming in here for last minute gifts and even got great suggestions from Shawn for my supplements! Highly recommend. Favorite spot in Sacramento read more

I love my facial from Lisa! She is kind, professional, and makes you feel comfortable. My skin always looks amazing after my appointments. I recommend to anyone looking for a spa in Sacramento read more

John, the owner, states he doesn't care if he closes for the holiday and delays your prescription. Then whines about bad reviews for such practices. read more

i have used parkside happily for over 20 years. maybe more, because we lived in another state for awhile. i am just going to warn you. when you call, be sure you have close by: something to drink something to eat kleenex paper and pen to doodle on leave the tv on with voice leave notes on the door that you are present also, leave a phone message. "please leave a message. i am home and well, but waiting for parkside pharmacy to answer". the message is . . . so your loved ones know you are ok and not lying on the floor unconscious and not to call 911 even though it has been over an hour since they dialed your number. i would find a picture and attach, but only one hand works as the other is clutching the phone and has clamped. read more

Thank you for all the medical support you've given to my family and I. The pharmacists are always so kind and understanding. The owner, John, has done a great job with his facility and his pharmacists & staff. Great little gift shop inside as well. read more

I am extremely disappointed with Parkside Compound Pharmacy and feel obligated to warn anyone who relies on critical or time-sensitive medication. We placed an urgent order and paid an extra $20 for same-day delivery, something they promised would happen. The medication never arrived. When we called the next day to check the status, we were suddenly told it had been "shipped," even though we were originally promised direct delivery. This wasn't just inconvenient, this jeopardized our health. When you depend on medication, delays are dangerous. What made the situation worse is that they shipped the medication to an address we never authorized. We gave them the correct delivery address, NOT the billing address on our card. Their mistake caused even more delays for something that was urgent and medically necessary. When we asked if we could pick up a new batch to avoid waiting even longer, we were told the medication "wasn't available." But just minutes later, suddenly they did have it and could "fill it as soon as possible." The inconsistency, disorganization, and back-and-forth stories were extremely concerning. There is no need to lie. All we wanted was honesty and accountability especially for something directly tied to our health. Instead, we dealt with miscommunication, false promises, and zero responsibility taken for their errors. If you have chronic or critical health needs, I strongly advise staying away from this pharmacy. Their lack of organization and transparency can jeopardize your wellbeing, and no patient should have to experience that. read more

We decided to get our cat's medicine here because after calling around they have the best prices. They are also very friendly as well.

Great shopping for jewelry, crystals, body care items and more! Bought the most stunning statement ring yesterday! Staff is a helpful and personable. Very pleasant experience. read more

1st time using a pharmacy for a compounded cat medicine. I was able to text over the scrip & they texted back a price. (Pucci needs an in person visit so they lost out). This pharmacist gave me thorough instructions on how to administer & also made me aware that I could use 2 different methods - transdermal once a day & liquid once a day! That will really help when I'm traveling! read more

I got a gift card for a facial last December for my birthday. I called and made an appointment. They called and cancelled it informing me their hours or staffing changed. Then I rescheduled for the day after thanksgiving. I confirmed when I made the appointment that they would be open that day they reassured me. Days before the facial I got a call telling me they would be closed and informed me of their new more restricted hours. I let them know I gave up and would be giving away the gift card to a family member. They called me and reassured me we could reschedule it. We ended up rescheduling it for 10 am on Xmas eve which also happens to be my birthday. I confirmed the appointment the day before. I show up on my birthday only to be told they over booked and would have to cancel my appointment and that it was their error. I am not going back and would not recommend. Free gift card up for grabs for someone who has the time for this silliness read more

I am a new client with Parkside i am very pleased with the over all treatment I feel very comfortable with the staff they treat me like a person not just a person needing there drugs. I can't wait to explore all the wonderful and specialty items they have in the beautiful environment. I live in south sac and believe me it is worth drive!!! read more

The only compound pharmacy that I know about in Sacramento. Took my prescription in on a Wednesday and there was a question about an ingredient that had to be confirmed with the vet. Then I guess they were busy, then it was the weekend and not ready yet, they are closed on Sunday, then Veterans Day so it was not ready until Tuesday. By that time my dogs collapsed trachea was not treated for a few days. read more

This is the second time in just a couple months that Parkside pharmacy closed well before closing time, in this case 30 minutes early. Completely unprofessional given that people count on them for prescription medications. If you have posted hours, you should honor them!!! read more

loved shopping here for christmas! had a great selection of gifts and their staff was very sweet

Parkside is one of the only compounding pharmacies in the city and its centrally located in Land Park. It's family owned and operated so the customer service is excellent. Their products in store are specialty and a little pricey, like fancy soaps etc., but the products just cost more to buy in general so I don't think there's much they can do about that. I've noticed there's lots of employee turnover here for what it's worth but it is retail after all. The pharmacists themselves are very helpful and take time to explain your medicine. read more

Really cute variety shop which is great for unique gifts. They are also a compounding pharmacy so I am able to get my cats steroids in liquid form. read more

Jackie, Alex, and John are gems of pharmacists. I can't ask for better health care professionals to take care of my prescriptions for my cats. Jackie specifically always makes sure to return my phone calls when I'm anxious about how to give my cat a capsule. Whenever I'm in line, Eric remembers who I am and greets me with warmth. Telling all my friends and family to transfer their business here! read more

Parkside Pharmacy - He loves his chicken flavored gabapentin - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Sacramento, California

Such a wonderful neighborhood place to not only utilize as your pharmacy but also a great place to pick up a special gift for someone. I went in with my elderly father to pick up his medications. We were immediately greeted warmly and asked if we needed any assistance. Incredibly friendly staff. John, the pharmacist and owner, was so sweet and kind to my father. When reviewing his new medications, he recognized my father and acknowledged him by his first name. He was thorough, kind and patient. read more

First of all, I can't say enough about the lovely staff that works in the gift shop portion of Parkside Pharmacy. They are extremely friendly, helpful, and kind. Same goes for the staff that works at the counter in the pharmacy portion of the business. Unfortunately, one of the pharmacists has been continuously rude and has made really unprofessional comments to me in regards to my medication(s) and the history of my illness. I was diagnosed with Stage 3c breast cancer 2 years ago at the age of 39. My children were 1 and 4 years old at that time. I went through neoadjuvant chemotherapy, a bilateral mastectomy, and 33 rounds of radiation. I am still going through reconstruction procedures and have encountered numerous complications along the way. I also have chronic pain issues associated with my surgeries and radiation, which I take pain medication regularly for. Throughout my cancer journey, I have been extremely lucky to have the privilege of working with wonderful health care providers. This is the first time I have ever been treated poorly by a "professional" or made to feel badly for needing pain relief. I have thought about changing pharmacies, but the location factor is so convenient for my family, and my children and I really do love everything else about Parkside Pharmacy. I'm choosing not to name the pharmacist; but I think it's worthy of people being aware of. read more

I also have to agree with others here. The owner, John, just told me he wouldn't refund me for a prescription I just refilled for my sick dog, who passed away before we could use it. I understand you can't restock meds, but Chewy and others show empathy and refunded me for their meds without asking for it back. I had to call four times to speak with the owner who never even offered his condolences. In my opinion, we don't need someone with his lack of integrity in our community and I will never support his store. read more

I needed a prescription for my cat and was going to all the Walgreens and CVS looking for it. I was thinking I wouldn't find the medicine. I called Parkside and they said they also didn't have it. Then she said something amazing..."But we can make it". I thought I heard wrong. She then said to text the prescription to their number so they could start on it saving me a lot of time. She also asked what flavor I wanted out of chicken, tuna and I forgot what else I was so blown away. An hour later I had my kitty's meds and also a pharmacy I could rely on. Thank you Parkside! read more

I showed up today just a hair after close and was so disappointed when I saw the OPEN sign dim. However, Alex saw me peeking in and once he heard I was just trying to pick up some Children's Tylenol he opened up, gave me some advice and checked me out in a matter of minutes. As if you needed another reason to avoid the big box pharmacies, it is the kindness and personal touch you find at a locally owned store like Parkside. Thanks, Alex! read more
