This is going to be the pharmacy I go to from now on, everyone is so attentive to your needs. I was so impressed with the customer service usually other pharmacy's are so rude but not this one. They helped me with whatever I needed. Definitely recommend this place. read more

Great service, staff is very friendly definitely recommend, all staff wear mask, and super knowledgeable

Pax Pharmacy is the absolute best!!! When dealing with the stress of family sickness their professional, knowledgeable and compassionate attitude is very reassuring and calming. They always have prescriptions ready in a timely manner as well and their website is super easy to navigate. Now with COVID they are taking extra measures to make sure everyone is safe while still providing the utmost care. They are pillars in the community. Highly highly recommend. read more

I cannot speak enough about the amazing customer service that was shown to me and my family at Pax Pharmacy. My uncle was in need of a medication that was unavailable at his usual pharmacy. Dr. Daher and the rest of the staff made sure to get the medication for my uncle on time - they even delivered it to his home! I truly appreciate how family friendly this business is. He has now transferred his entire medication profile to Pax and depends on them for his monthly fills. 10/10 would recommend to anyone in need of prescription and over the counter medications!! read more

Words are not enough. Mike and his staff are the best! I've been a customer for years and I'm so grateful to city of hope for recommending Pax! Thank you! read more

The pharmacist is obnoxious. I heard him being disrespectful to one of the nuns from the convent up the street. They made a mistake on my prescription and wouldn't admit it. read more

Pax Pharmacy is the Best. The C/S is 5 ***** . Ed and Mike the pharmacist are extremely helpful and if you can't get a medication due to back order in the chain pharmacies, Pax can find it . They also have. Delivery service if you are with in so many miles.. If your tired of waiting in huge lines at the big pharmacies take a visit to Pax.They are located in the Santa Teresita Medical building on Buena Vista in Duarte. . read more

Great Pharmacy staff. Everyone is super friendly and helpful! I would definitely recommend if you live in the area to come to Pax.

terrible communicators and wont transfer a prescription or answer the phones good luck with these guys

The review is based on my last 5 years. Pax Pharmacy has exceptional customer service. They treat me and my family members like VIP. Refills on time and delivered for free to a neighboring city where I live. I have changed my insurance a few times the last few years and they are very fast with updating my patient file and very patient with explaining my copay. Finding a professional doctor, dentist, chiropractor, pharmacy, etc can be stressful but it gives me sigh of relief that I have a neighborhood retail pharmacy I can trust and rely on. I also like how community-oriented they are. It says a lot when you go to nearby hospital and medical offices and everyone knows Pax Pharmacy. I always support local family run businesses. Pax Pharmacy and their staff go the extra mile and make sure I understand even the O.T.C medications I pick up. The best part is I wanted a particular ankle brace from a specific company and there able to special order it for me with their next day order. BONUS: They open on Saturdays for the last minute pick up before a trip or even worse when I need cold medicine! Very convenient and free parking.That's always a plus! read more

Love that all the staff were wearing mask and gloves. Everyone was friendly and so helpful. The shot was so easy and so fast and the doctors are just #1. Everyone should come here. read more

Had a great experience getting my COVID vaccine here. The process was quick and easy and the staff were super nice!

I don't usually leave reviews on businesses but I had such a wonderful experience here that I had to share. I was very nervous to receive my covid vaccine but the staff at Pax were so friendly, they made the entire experience seamless. Upon arrival, a gentleman helped me fill out a general intake form and within minutes, the pharmacist Mike came out to give me my shot. He was pleasant and friendly and stayed with me for 15 minutes after my shot to make sure that I was feeling okay. I would recommend this pharmacy to anyone looking to receive their covid shots! read more

Pax pharmacy and there staff are amazing. Especially the owner Dr. Daher! They've been helping me with my complicated prescription for years and I can't say enough about them! There slogan should be "come in sick and leave with a smile" Love the Pax crew! Great merchandise to! read more

Thank you so much to Pax and all of their staff. They are so helpful and professional. I never have to wait for anything and they always do everything they can to help, even for the smallest thing! read more

Great experience at Pax! Just went in for my covid vaccine and they were very quick and professional. Will be making this my new local pharmacy. read more

I just want to thank Pax Pharmacy and all of their staff for being so valuable to the community. They have gone above and beyond trying to get the vaccine in the arms of the members of the community and have done it with kindness and grace. I have never dealt with a more compassionate and generous small business. We are grateful that we have them to rely on for our pharmacy needs. read more

It's taken me two days to write this. Unfortunately it's going to be a terrible review. Not for the pharmacy itself. I have no opinion about the pharmacy itself. This review is for the pharmacist named Mike. In all fairness this guy may have been having a bad day. I don't know because I don't know him and I don't know what he's like. But I can tell you this- I picked my 86-year-old mother up from City of Hope, which is just down the street. When she was discharged, we were sent to Pax pharmacy to pick up pain medication which was called into them. Being from Upland, California which is 35 minutes from the City of Hope, and the need for the medication right away, I decided to travel the four blocks to pick up the medication once we left the hospital. I walked in to the pharmacy and saw about a half dozen employees behind the counter. The one next to the register turned out to be Mike. Standing for two minutes, 2 feet away from this individual, I never received a "Good Morning," or, "I'll be with you in a minute," or any other salutation. Instead he continued looking at his computer screen ignoring me. When I said excuse me, his demeanor was agitated and said "What do you need?" Wow! What do I need? I need to get my 86-year-old mother home laying down after her major surgery, not to forget the stage four cancer that won't be going away. But I maintained my composure and smiled letting him know that I needed a prescription filled. He snatched my prescription that I had placed on the table, put it on the counter next to him, and said "It'll be five minutes" and to go have a seat in the hallway. He turned and started looking at other prescription bottles that, I'm sure, we're waiting to be filled and looking at his employees and talking about unrelated things. After two minutes, I asked how much longer it would be. My reasoning for asking was because he didn't seem to be doing anything else that seemed too important. He looked at me annoyed. I explained my situation with my mom in the car and needing to get her home. There was no apology or "I'll get right on it." Instead, he continued to disregard me, grabbed the medication for my mom, and processing it. Some of the other employees kept looking at me with expressions indicating they felt bad for me and that they were sorry things were happening the way they were. One of the employees even brought me a bottle of water and said, "Please give this to your mom." Pharmacist Mike finished my order in less than one minute, blurted out that it would be $85, and -without saying another word- we completed the transaction. I walked out knowing that I would never walk back into that pharmacy again. Although this is the pharmacy that, apparently, City of Hope uses and, knowing that there will be many more visits for my mom, it is the last place I would ever want to feel bad about being a customer. For Mike, you're not all that, friend. You're attitude and demeanor was very much not needed. You, of all people, should understand that the patrons who enter your pharmacy are usually not in the best place because of needing medicine that you provide. Perhaps when you get a little older you will find your compassion and not have an attitude that the world centers around you. As for the gentleman who handed me the water for my mom, she very much appreciated it and drank half the bottle before we even got on the freeway to head home. Thank you. read more

This pharmacy is focused on the most important principle in business, "the customer/patient". All other pharmacies should take note!! They serve there patients with speed, accuracy and compassion. I hope more patients leave the chain stores like I did so they can see what a pharmacy experience should feel like. read more

They gave me the WRONG medication! Thankfully, we spotted it in time. Sorry, don't think I trust this pharmacy!!!!!

love this Pharmacy, in the past 5 years I been getting my medication for my Parents and I have never had a problem. They have reasonable prices compare to other pharmacy's. The owner Mike has always been very helpful. I highly recommend this pharmacy. read more

Mike and his team treat me like family every time I go. I Live in Pasadena but drive all the way to Pax Pharmacy in Duarte because of the amazing experience, privacy, and customer service I always receive. read more

I have trusted Pax Pharmacy to fill my prescriptions since they opened. Pharmacist Michel Daher has always been professional, inquisitive, and prompt in answering any questions I have regarding same. The type of customer service that Pax Pharmacy exudes is being lost in the digital age. It is a pleasure to be a Pax Pharmacy patient. read more

I have had the pleasure of having an outstanding business relationship with Pax Pharmacy for a little over 3 years, they truly are a "breath of fresh air". Working in healthcare for over 11 years, I have had my share of ups and downs with chain pharmacies, specialty pharmacies and good ole privately owned ones such as Pax and by far Pax Pharmacy ALWAYS exceeds my expectations. The consistent level of outstanding customer service they provide on a regular basis is what sets them apart from every other pharmacy. It is very evident that they just flat out CARE about the importance of their patients health, well being and overall care. Mike (Pharmacist/owner) and his awesome staff are ALWAYS my "go to" for anything pertaining to pharmacy questions/needs. If they can not help me out with something they will always guide me in the right direction or lead me to folks that can help me. A staff member is always there to answer my calls promptly and with very little wait time, which is a HUGE deal on my end. So many thanks to ALL of the Pax Pharmacy employees. Several of my patients and their families have expressed their gratitude towards staff members making life a little easier for them during rough times and you sure do make my job/life a lot less stressful, so for that THANK YOU! Keep doing an outstanding job providing my office and patients excellent service and care. read more

I would give this pharmacy 10 stars if I could. First of all it's like the old sitcom Cheers you walk in and everyone knows your name its like family to me, they are extremely helpful with customers and they go above and beyond for your business. Mike is truly the best pharmacist I have ever met. He truly cares for his patients. Ed, Mauricio, Danny, and all the other staff are truly wonderful and helpful. I highly recommend this pharmacy! read more

Everyone here is very helpful and they work hard to get your medication quickly. Great staff who is always providing everyone great service. read more

It is very cool. They are really nice to the people. It is the best Pharmacy that I know. The staff is really nice to Me and my Little brother. Dr. Daher is The best Pharmacist In the world He is nice he has a special place in his heart for everyone. The Pax crew is nice to everyone . read more

If I could give this family business more stars I would! I spent a week at COH a few weeks ago and my parents were there during all my allowable visiting hours. They were so exhausted and running on fumes by the day of my discharge. I was concerned about them trying to locate my local pharmacy to have my prescriptions filled. After all they are from out of town and between unfamiliar territory and complete exhaustion every little task was extra challenging. Our case worker offered delivery by a local pharmacy so I would not be without my pain medications. I thought this was a great idea. It didn't take much time and Eddie at Pax came to the rescue. He promptly showed up in my hospital room with my bag of medications and a big smile. He took the time to go through the prescriptions and we were able to handle the copays bedside. Eddie was a complete professional and seemed to genuinely want to help us minimize our tasks. I never knew a service like this existed. It saved so much time and headache for all of us. Eddie told me there is a lot going on so if I forget the details of my medication I could just call for another explanation. Eddie also mentioned that when I need a refill to give them a call and they would deliver to my home. I explained I am 40 miles south and my insurance probably would not cover home delivery. Eddie told me that Pax wants to help make life easier for patients going through difficult times so delivery would be free of charge. So here comes the end of my first week and I am low of multiple meds. I called Pax back for refills. It turns out most of my refills were over the counter and not covered by insurance. I offered to get them local to save them a 40-mile one-way drive. Mike said it was not a problem and not about making money from my insurance; and that he would be happy to deliver whatever I needed at no charge for the delivery. He also told me he would be happy to support delivery for as long as I needed. On Saturday, his sister and father ended up coming to my home to bring my medications. Isabella gave the medications to my family and was a very pleasant lady. My experience with Pax has been wonderful. They have a family feel and treat me like family. That's very rare these days. I hope other people will support this small family business. They have a heart of gold and make you feel special. I went back to COH this week and my nurse commented that she was in awe and shock of my pharmacy. Apparently, one of my refills was a controlled substance and required an in-person pick up of the prescription. Mike, the owner of Pax didn't want us to have any delays so my nurse said he sent a courier to pick up the prescription. I would not have known they went the extra mile if my nurse didn't mention it. Pax is clearly in this not in it for praise but they clearly do care about patient/customer service and satisfaction. I wanted to take the time to review this business because all too often we overlook the positive experiences we have and only take the time to write about the ones that upset us. Thank you to the entire team at Pax. Your professionalism, care, and superior service are very much appreciated. read more

Never go here or buy rx at this pharmacy. Please educate your delivery person (Ed) to have a better attiitude when delivering rx's to City of Hope patients. He can be heard complaining by the patients on the way out. He was irritated in delivering rx's. If he's not happy with his job and being in contact with patients he should find another job. 5/13/16 Follow up call from the Mike (owner): Thank you for getting a hold of me regarding the situation. My attempt was not as you mentioned to tarnish the family business, for all i know you provide great customer service to other patients, but unfortunately your business customer service was tarnished by your employee (Ed). Irregardless if he's having a bad day and had to deliver rx's to far areas, each encounter with patients reflects your business. You should never bring frustrations from previous patients to another patient its not professional, especially dealing with the elderly and cancer patients. It was unfortunate and its sad that you have someone like him working for your family business, and actually he is the one to blame for tarnishing your family business, not me. And plus, it is not my obligation to call the owner of the business to complain about the service we received, thats what YELP is for.....right? Its the consumers reviews on the business and what customer service they received. Thank you and God Bless read more

Dr. Daher (Mike) and his staff at Pax Pharmacy go above and beyond when it comes to customer service and the care of their patients. My parents live in Port Hueneme, CA and had a problem where their pharmacy increased their co-pay to something they couldn't afford. Mike went out of his way to find a local pharmacy that covered their medication at a lower cost and even offered to drive their prescriptions to them (over 70 miles) every month at no additional cost. He and his staff care about the well-being of their customers/patients over anything else and I would highly recommend them to anyone. read more

The pharmacy and staff especially mike take great care of me, thank you for all you do. Highly recommend!!

Unfortunately Pax Pharmacy refused to fill my pain prescription issued to me from City of Hope, (where I have been a patient for the past 9 years), proceeded to mention the DEA to me , Pharmacy shopping and treated me in a judgemental way and insinuated I was attempting to do something shady at their pharmacy. I am a City of Hope cancer patient who lives with chronic pain daily and unfortunately I am used to other pharmacies refusing to fill my pain scripts, but never had this experience at this pharmacy before. For 2 years straight, I had no previous issues, was treated kindly and with respect at Pax Pharmacy. Each month, I would need to get 2 DIFFERENT pain medications filled ON THE SAME DAY, and they did this for me with no judgements..until a few days ago. Because I had gotten one of my other pain medications filled at City of Hope, within a day or so before going to Pax, they began to question me as to why I was there to get my different pain medication filled there at their pharmacy. I explained why to the Pharmacist and owner,who knew me as one of his customers, he seemed to think I was there to conduct a shady transaction. As I mentioned before, I had been going to this pharmacy for years, getting BOTH filled on the same day with no problems. I have no idea why I was harshly judged, especially since this pharmacy deals with a clientele of many other City of Hope patients. I returned to City of Hope Pharmacy immediately afterwards very hurt to be treated this way, explained to them what had transpired at Pax Pharmacy and THEY apologized to me for experiencing that, and proceeded to fill my second pain prescription with kindness and understanding. I do hope that no other City of Hope patients will experience what I suddenly did at Pax, as it is hard enough actually finding a pharmacy that won't look at you sideways because you need to take pain medications. I know this pharmacy, being that it is a family run operation relies on it's reputation for doing business, but I as a human being care about MY reputation too. I am completely disappointed I was treated in such a judgemental way, turned away, and told to go to COH to get my scripts filled. The reason I give 2 stars instead of one, is because I can't forget how they used to treat me..but apparently times have changed now. It is still all the same personnel, in case that is a question. I wrestled with even writing a review, it was a struggle, but I do not deserve to be treated in such a way that I was. read more

Love this pharmacy! They are always on top of my mother's medication and reminds us when it's time for a refill! The pharmacist Michel is amazing and truly cares about his patients! The care we receive makes me feel special and I know and trust that he has my mother's best interest at heart. I highly recommend Pax Pharmacy rather than the BIG chain pharmacies where you are just a number. read more

Amazing pharmacy!!! I love this place it's a great family oriented business they go above and beyond to accommodate our deliveries. They're always super helpful and friendly every time we make an order. And they are personable and efficient in their work!! read more

I've never written a review on Yelp, but just had to for Pax Pharmacy. My family and I can't thank them enough. After an unexpected serious illness in our family we've had to purchase many medications that are very expensive and didn't have insurance coverage. The wonderful folks at Pax were not only able to help bring the cost down, they were super helpful, kind, courteous and even deliver the medication right to our door. It has been three months since our first prescription, and we've since filled at least fifteen more. I can honestly say that every transaction has been pleasant, quick, easy, and they continue to keep the cost down. Great family friendly pharmacy that I would highly recommend to all! read more
