Neighborhood gem. For years, I sent my prescriptions to CVS and Rite Aid. But it is *so much easier* dealing with a small business. Whenever we are prescribed a medicine or need a refill, we call Roselyn and she handles our prescriptions immediately. She knows her stuff, she cares, and she is on top of it all!!! She knows our names, anticipates our needs, and is just a good person. Thank you, Roselyn!! The pharmacy is also stocked with OTC for kids and adults, first aid stuff, all the essentials. It's also at a perfect location for running all our errands. Near groceries, the library, coffee, restaurants, post office. But there's also plenty of parking, if you drive in. read more

I moved from Los Feliz to Echo Park two years ago and refuse to change pharmacists. Roselyn is incredibly prompt, responsive, knowledgeable, and overall just a delight to work with. Every time I get a prescription filled at R&D it feels like there's a part of the healthcare system that actually has my back, and the whole neighborhood feels richer for it. read more

When we heard our Rite Aid was closing, my mom and I transferred our prescriptions to R&D Pharmacy, and we're so happy we did! We already knew Roselynn from her years at Rite Aid. She really made the transfer simple. She walked us through every step and followed up to ensure we had no problems. Recently, after a small grill accident, I needed a tetanus shot. Roselynn got me in right away, and I genuinely didn't feel a thing - no pain, no worry. This kind of personal, attentive care is exactly why we chose a local business over another big corporate chain. At R&D Pharmacy, they not only know your name and have your medications in stock, but they also have all the essentials we need - like cough drops, bandages, and allergy meds - right there, easy to grab, not locked behind plexiglass. It's truly a relief and a wonderful change! Jacob and Sue G. read more

I am so glad I found R&D pharmacy a couple years ago. Roselyn is the best. She is professional and knowledgable and very friendly and prompt. I appreciate that she quickly picks up the phone to call the doctor for inquiry, if needed. They have a useful text system that alerts you in real-time when your prescription is ready. Also, the environment is simple, very clean, and a one stop shop for all the over the counter things you may need in addition to your prescription. Roselyn has created a true feel-good neighborhood pharmacy. I recommend stopping by to meet Roselyn and trusting her as your pharmacist! Thanks R&D! read more

Such an amazing little place - definately that neighborly feeling. Roselynn is the best, she is friendly and always gets me everything I need quickly. This is a great little pharmacy! A big bonus that we get to support small business and keep our magical little neighborhood in Los Feliz thriving. read more

Roselyn, the pharmacist is fantastic: she listens to you and give recommendations and suggestions. She has also great positive energy. In brief: you are getting great customer service that you don't get nowhere else! Switch to a local pharmacy and go talk to Roselyn! read more

See all

I drive an hour each way to keep Roselynn as my pharmacist. She was the head pharmacist at my local RiteAid before I moved to the other side of the city and she went out on her own. The drive is worth it. She's always able to straighten things out or get the meds I need when other pharmacies have failed. There have been occasions in the past where a medicine I take has stopped working as well as it used to, only for me to discover that the pharmacy changed the brand of generic it uses. (Not all generics are created equal--the amount of active ingredient can be anywhere from 80-125% of the name brand to be considered "bio-equivalent.") Roselynn always makes sure to give me the brand I request whereas other pharmacies are only allowed to work with suppliers they have arrangements with. The point being: you're not just a name and and a prescription number to her. She's going to look out for you and if there's a way to get it done, Roselynn will figure out how. I've tried closer pharmacies, but two RiteAids and a CVS have gone out of business on me. They were often understaffed and I'd wait on long lines. My prescriptions wouldn't be filled until I called and asked after them, and when I'd go to pick them up, they still weren't filled. So I will continue drive an hour each way to pick up my prescriptions once a month. The peace of mind and quality of service I get from Roselynn is worth it. read more

Love this neighborhood pharmacy and the pharmacist is a great person! When you get your flu shot it won't hurt!

Rosalyn is the best of the best, you won't find better. You if your looking for a pharmacy, you can consider your search done, this is where you want to go. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Roselyn at R&D Pharmacy. She is not only a kind and empathetic person, she is also an amazing pharmacist who goes above and beyond to advocate for her customers. She always has my prescription ready within 15min of me letting her know that I need a refill and oftentimes is the one who calls and reminds me that my refills are due and ready for pickup. She helped me get a refill while I was out of state during a family emergency and my prescription had expired and was not even due for another refill. She is a breath of fresh air in the world of medicine and I'm grateful to her every time I need a prescription because she makes it all feel so seamless and stress-free. I cannot recommend her enough and am always raving to my friends about her! read more

I love Roz. I'm so glad I have a local pharmacy where I get treated like family. Discount Medical on Griffith park blvd is also the best but R&D is closer to me now. Either way, I feel proud to support local business, and I feel grateful to know that me & my family will be taken care of at these establishments. Meanwhile, Rite Aid of Vermont looks like it's closing. Good Riddance. read more

THE BEST PHARMACY I'VE EVER BEEN TO! this is a huge compliment coming from someone with decades of chronic illness experience, I've been to a lot of pharmacies over the years, this kind of attentive personal service is unparalleled. 5 stars! health care can be soooo miserable and bureaucratic, but R&D pharmacy is human, friendly, kind, and caring. seriously this is the best pharmacy around, don't ever look at CVS or Walgreens again read more

Roselyn is the best! I've been getting my prescriptions and seasonal flu shots for over a year. You truly feel like you're in your neighborhood pharmacy and Roselyn really cares for you and makes sure you're taken care of! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a pharmacy. read more

Roselynn is the best. R&D makes me feel like I'm part of my community and that I'm cared for. The other week, I had a problem with my meds and she got on the phone with the doctor immediately and figured it out. Best pharmacy and best people!! read more

It would honestly be impossible for me to say enough good things about Roselyn and R&D. I followed her here after 20 years of being our family pharmacist in another location. Not only is she one of my very favorite people, she is kind, compassionate, attentive, knowledgeable, and an excellent communicator, whom I trust implicitly. Our prescriptions are filled unbelievably quickly, and if something needs to be ordered she always lets us know. She has synced our monthly medications to refill at the same time in order to minimize our trips - which are always a pleasure because we adore her! If I could give 50 stars I would. read more

This pharmacy reminds me of the old Sesame Street song "Who Are the People in Your Neighborhood?" At R&D I am recognized with a smile and greeted by name.... Rosalyn makes sure I am getting the best price possible, texts me when my refills are in and she also takes care of my yearly flu and covid vaccines. This place is the antithesis of impersonal and chaotic corporate chain drugstores. She goes the extra mile! read more

really , this is hands down the best pharmacy I have even been to for several reason. The main is Roselyn herself. She is such a kind lovely person but on top of that she knows her stuff and is like a magician of prescriptions ! she can find what you need and always calls back and gives you all the relevant information . I used to go to CVS on Chauenga and it would stress me out just having to even walk to my car ...its just so nice walking in the door here ( there is a parking lot as well ) I never thought a trip to the pharmacy would be so nice : ) read more

It's so nice to have an alternative to the big grocery store pharmacies in the neighborhood. The staff is helpful, communication and prescription fills are fast, and the whole experience is about ten times as pleasant as going to Albertson's down the street. read more

I didn't know pharmacists like Roselyn at R&D still existed, she genuinely cares about her customers and is the hardest working pharmacist west of the Mississippi (and probably the rest of the country, too!). Every experience I've had with R&D has been exceedingly professional and I've never felt like just a number like I do at Walgreens or the other national chains. I will be an R&D customer as long as I possibly can-- by far the best pharmacy in LA! read more

BEST pharmacy around! The warmth and friendliness of a ma+pa but with the proficiency (even more so) of a CVS! Roselyn (the owner and pharmacist) is AMAZING. She has such a great energy, always smiling face and there to help. Will never change pharmacies again as long as I live in LA! :) read more

For years I've gone to CVS for my medications. What a pain! Long lines and long waits on the phone when I needed to talk to a pharmacist. Roselyn is the exact opposite. There's two way communication which is prompt and knowledgeable. Picking up prescriptions is easy and enjoyable. I would highly recommend switching over from any of the grocery stores or big pharmacies. It's simple to switch and I wish I had done it so much sooner! read more

I would like to recommend this pharmacy. Rosalyn is the owner and pharmacist and worked at the big chains (cvs, rite aid) for years before starting her own business. She is thoughtful, diligent and communicative. She fluidly navigates insurance and communicates about costs for brand v generic and is delightful. I really appreciate her knowledge and professionalism and it feels great to have such a nice store and resource in the neighborhood with the service missing in the larger chains. read more
