You cannot beat North Coast Medical Pharmacy for all your prescription needs…read more I was in a very serious car accident 11 years ago and Justin caught medications that were prescribed to me that would have interacted with a current medication I was on. I will be forever grateful for that. Justin and his staff always go above and beyond. You will never ever get service and personal caring like that at CVS or Walgreens!

Coming here can be inconvenient for me sometimes, mostly for hours, but I love supporting a "moms…read moreand pops" business and Justin is amazing. He's not only super friendly but also very smart. Always took me back when I walked in and he remembered my full name. On top of that, the technicians and other pharmacists are always so nice and helpful. Its a perfect example of a locally owned, "moms and pops" business I continue to use over the connivence of the "big box stores". Any problems, they will call you. Wait times are far less than CVS or the pharmacies in the grocery stores. Moira is also awesome and answered all my questions. I prioritize efficiency in my life and they are a rare example of being all aspects - efficient, knowledgeable, friendly, and so welcoming.

Just a heads up, this is not a review of the pharmacy, this is a review of the store itself. I have…read morebeen coming here for a few years and the staff in the store is always helpful and friendly, especially the lady working in the cosmetic section.

Honestly, this CVS pharmacy is disgustingly dirty, but what really prompted me to leave this review…read morewas the unprofessionalism and lack of communication. I received a phone call stating that my prescription was ready for pickup. When I arrived at the pharmacy, I was told they couldn't find me in their system. So why was I contacted and told my prescription was ready? This was extremely frustrating and a complete waste of my time. The entire experience was very unprofessional and poorly handled.

It honestly seems counterintuitive to leave a review being that their rating is so low and the…read morestandards there are just awful. And I don't necessarily mean from a service standpoint because I feel great empathy for the employees. It's the company's lack of care for the customer experience overall. From pharmacy to convenience store, they are terrible. Overpriced, out of stock, under trained, unreliable, inconsistent, and do not care. Selling bad gift cards, damaged goods, expired convenience grabs like milk (if they have it in stock) and expired health care and wellness vitamins and supplements. It's deplorable! You never know if your item was merchandised correctly so always have to triple check the size and brand against the signage, can't trust that it is going to ring up at the correct price. They're the only drive thru pharmacy left since Walgreens and Rite-Aid both closed but it is hit or miss whether it's open or not. The phone system is terrible, literally impossible to speak directly with a human and they have the worst inventory control ever. Can't keep 4x6 photo paper in stock for their very busy 1 hour photo business... More importantly, they're out of prescription medication all the time too. How irresponsible to be out of stock on life-saving prescriptions, especially for patients who have regularly monthly refills that are easily tracked by a POS system. They should never be out of stock unless all manufacturers are out of stock but it happens all of the time. Planning systems easily predict buying needs to near perfection, evading loss and keeping stores stocked even in the event of an influx of use. Why aren't patients needs top priority? And why is the restock time unpredictable and unreliable and often requiring the patient to follow up via a phone system that doesn't work?! As one of the largest Distributors of drugs, having bought up so much market share why aren't they being held accountable to responsible health care? Gelsons was amazing... closed. Vons was great.... Closed I really don't like anything CVS because of how much joy & time I know they're going to suck from me every time. They even make shopping for greeting cards miserable. (Horrible selection and disorganized) Hard Pass!

The supermarket portion is great as well. I'm the only carnivor in the house. So getting meat in small portions works out well. I must say, I do make sure that the expiration date is far away.

If you're into arts and crafts like me, they have a great section and variety of brands. I've always had a great experience shopping here.

This Walmart keeps almost everything in their beauty, toiletries section, totally locked up. Even nail polish remover which is around $2, which is what I came in for. Seeing whole sections of inexpensive products locked up is annoying and ridiculous. I bought a couple products in the grocery area (one 12 pack of soda that I didn't have to buy 8 other 12 packs for to get a good price) then went to self serve to ring myself up. If I only have 3 things, I'm not going to wait in a line for an actual cashier. There were 2 employees standing right next to my self serve line. They were two busy flirting with each other than to acknowledge any of the customers or actually do anything. This store is the worst. However, it is very close to Target. Which is also on the should avoid list, but at least they don't lock up the nail polish remover.

They are super helpful, patient, and available. They pick up if you call. They answer your questions. And they are pleasant.

I highly recommend Vons Pharmacy.

The folks working in the pharmacy had already closed and locked up shop early and were heard giggling behind the screens. I had hurried down there after work to pick up important medication I need immediately. I even called to check on my way, and knew they'd be closed Thursday. All I got was the token "sorry we're closed now" and not even a person sticking their head out the door to see my distress and maybe help me find an alternative pain reliever since the two packages they had right there waiting for me were too much trouble for them to hand off. I will not be using this pharmacy again.
