CRAZY and I must post for the safety and well being of our community! I was prescribed a brand…read moremedication b/c I am allergic to the preservatives contained in the generic. Active ingredients are the same but the generic has preservatives that can land me in a hospital and near death. The prescription from the Dr had dispense as written (DAW) / do not substitute. The pharmacist filled with the generic. I explained that the script had a DAW b/c of my severe allergy and I needed the brand. They apologized and reverted to the brand. Next time they filled it again with the generic even tho it had a DAW. This time I was furious. Twice they could have literally killed me. And the pharmacist had the nerve to say that it is not the pharmacist but that corporate implemented a system that fills with the cheapest medication. I explained that I work in the biz and the pharmacist is required to verify the medication with the script before filling and after filling. The pharmacist argued and said the system does it and it is outside of their control and that the active ingredient is the same so there should be no concern. Well - the concern is the preservatives that are in the generic but NOT in the brand. Can you believe this - i am arguing with the pharmacist about the ingredients after working thru this with my dr already???? What is the point of having a pharmacist if the system does what the system is programmed to do? What about medication safety? There is no accountability and no responsibility. This is like me saying I am behind the wheel of a self driving car and when it crashes it is the car and not me. How and why would I not take control of a car if it is going to crash and I have the ability to mitigate a crash. I am flabbergasted. If CVS has no safety controls why would I continue with this pharmacy? I am switching pharmacies. If you prefer to stay with this pharmacy please understand what your Dr is prescribing and check your scripts to avoid safety concerns. Do not be afraid to stand up for yourself. Know the risks with this location. I no longer trust this location - risks are too high for me. CVS has lost me as a customer - period! I will look for a different prescription fulfillment company for my own peace of mind. Costco is around the corner and I am sure I can find others.

This review is specifically for Zahra Karamshahi (license 72291) who is one of the pharmacists at…read morethis location. I had a very negative experience when picking up my prescriptions. My phone was very quietly playing a prerecorded staff meeting that was time sensitive for me and she became very rude telling me to go and sit down and became very argumentative when I tried to explain that it was not a call. The volume was very low and did not interfere with our interactions and I was giving her my full attention and was not even looking at the screen. There are much more polite ways to address a customer if you believe they are breaking a store policy. As a RN myself, I am appalled by the dismissive and disrespectful tone she spoke to me with and cannot fathom treating anyone in my care the way she treated me. She continued to berate me as I turned and walked away from the pharmacy desk. When I told my husband the story later he knew exactly who I was talking about because she has also treated him poorly. There are many pharmacies in our community. I would recommend going somewhere else where you will be treated with dignity and respect because this pharmacist lacks the skills to do so. It's disappointing to know that someone in her position feels entitled to treat the people she is employed to help with such blatant insolence.

I looked online and saw that Albertsons and CVS offered it via walk-in. I don't use CVS anymore, way too expensive, so I gave Albersons a try.

It was free with insurance. - They have really good jalapeño cheese bagels and kaiser rolls here.

Smaller size Walmart, because most of the fresh groceries had to be put into a separate Walmart…read moreNeighborhood Market, due to a Vallarta market already being in the shopping center. Pretty convenient, because it's close to home. Originally Escondido didn't want a Walmart at all, but I guess they finally caved because of the tax revenue. It's usually busy, but not insanely so. You can get a parking place that isn't too far away, unlike the bigger locations. And checkout lines can get a little bit long, because there usually aren't many lanes open. Because it's smaller, it's not too difficult to find things. They have a few things that the bigger ones don't carry, and they may have things left when other locations are out. That happened during the pandemic, definitely.

Due to that, customer service lacks. If your insurance has a problem, the refill is or fill is canceled, or delayed: no call. The app is updated and it's super hard to get someone AT THE STORE, calls go to central Call center who have no idea. So pro tip - go inside, plan for 30-40 mins, and talk it out with them. And the pharmacist is on lunch for 30mins between 1p and 2p, so plan accordingly. This is a management issue, not supplying enough staff for this very busy location. The staff, very nice. And no one is intending to be rude or cause issue, they literally only have time to touch each script one time.. I also got my recent vaccines there. I wasn't sure what to expect. It was surprisingly great!! The appointment was exactly on time. The pharmacist explained everything to me, she was very clear, understood my allergic reactions and made sure I understood what the possible side effects. They really surprised me and went above and beyond for that service. The most important thing, is to have realistic expectations here. The interior of the store is well laid out, and in reality I visit the cosmetics section, which has a lovely drug store selection. So. Go here. But. Plan. Have extra time. Bring patience. And talk to the pharmacy in person.

I came in today Wednesday and they tell me that the medication was discontinued. First off if it's discontinued how can you place an order Monday? Second how can you place an order on a discontinued item that is "on the way" on Tuesday? Hmmm this is not making much sense. Third the doctor sent the prescription last Tuesday and it took a week for you to place the order? I had enough medication last week to last him a few days and now I'm completely out because of incompetence on the pharmacy staff.
