The best pharmacy I've ever been to (and as a 20 year chronic sicky - I've unfortunately been to a lot). Uyen the head pharmacist and owner is so kind, empathetic and smart - she goes above and beyond. It is a small business that is well worth supporting over the far more heartless chain pharmacies. 10 out of 10 recommend. read more

Southwood is a locally owned pharmacy that always has great prices for my prescriptions. The main pharmacist there is so sweet and really cares about the customers. The only downside is that the hours are more limited than a large pharmacy, but I still prefer the experience at southwood. read more

I love Southwood Pharmacy! Everybody that works there is so helpful, I used to get my medication at CVS but I am so glad I switched!

I love this pharmacy and its pharmacist so much it warranted a 2nd review. Uyen, the pharmacist, goes above and beyond for her customers. Just be patient when they're busy. Just know they genuinely care about you and not just the business they get from you. The best small pharmacy for sure. read more

Southwood Pharmacy - Southwood Pharmacy - Pharmacy Near Me - Torrance, California

See all

This pharmacy is simply invaluable. Pharmacist Uyen is most interested in helping me by way of indicating any conflict which might exist among prescriptions I get from my various doctors. I am treated as an individual person, not merely as a customer purchasing an item in an ordinary retail store. So glad, that even now with the change in insurance coverage, I will still be helped by Uyen and Southwood Pharmacy. read more

Staff is always so nice and helpful! Crystal is always so kind and goes out of her way for all her patients!!

This pharmacy is locally owned. The store is clean an inviting. Uyen and Maria, and the rest of staff are friendly and helpful. Although the pharmacy is smaller than the major pharmacies (CVS, WALGREENS), Southwood Pharmacy is efficient. They are very experienced and on top of your medical needs. Uyen is awesome. She not only makes you feel welcome, she is accurate, organized, and listens to your needs. I see her as a good friend. I would highly recommend Southwest Pharmacy. read more

I used to love this pharmacy, the main pharmacist is really sweet and cares deeply about her patrons. Despite their higher prices, they were my go-to pharmacy due to their customer care and convenient location. However, recently it has been an extreme hassle to receive my medications in a timely manner, despite requesting them well in advance. My medication became available almost two weeks after the initial authorization/request, and when it was time to pay for it I was charged a $25 delivery fee for a common medication they say they receive regularly. The staff was not helpful when I inquired about the fee or timelines for future orders and was borderline rude. I'm beyond frustrated and disappointed with my once loved neighborhood pharmacy. I will not be returning. read more

The pharmacist, Uyen, is a very kind, sweet soul. Uyen has educated me and my family about the correct way to take our medications. We are more organized. She gets to know her clients which helps to optimize their health. My brother is deaf/mute, autistic and diabetic. Uyen takes time, no matter how busy she is, to greet him and make him feel special. She was very patient with him each time he received his Covid-19 vaccine and boosters. With all the big box chain pharmacies today, her pharmacy has the feel of days gone by. We don't feel like a number on a prescription bottle. We feel welcomed and cared for. read more

Southwood Pharmacy - Uyen, Southwood Pharmacy - Pharmacy Near Me - Torrance, California

This is hands down the best pharmacy you will ever go to! The owner Yuan is caring and amazing! She will help you with ALL your medication needs! My hubby's medicine was in short supply...she investigated what was available and called the doc and between getting a generic and getting two smaller doses she made sure he got his meds! Go here...You will not be disappointed! read more

Out of this world! The best pharmacy EVER. Caring, concerned. They'll really go the extra mile for their patients. Highly recommended.

The best pharmacist/pharmacy I encountered! Always helpful, understanding, patient, and go out of their way to accommodate.

After I retired and signed up for Wellcare Value Script prescription drug plan through Blue Sheild, I was provided with a list of in-network pharmacies which included Southwood Pharmacy in Torrance, as well as the major retailers. Upon calling around to get information on the pricing, I was quite surprised that Southwood Pharmacy offered the lowest overall price for my 5 prescription drugs. Southwood Pharmacy is an independent family owned and operated pharmacy with an exceptionally professional and pleasant staff. There is plenty of parking and not having to battle other drivers for a tight parking space in a shopping center is a refreshing experience as well. Michael Cell (310) 941-6113 read more

A Locally owned pharmacy with great owner and pharmacist! Got my flu shot. It's a family effort and a warm environment!

Yuen is not only very kind and personable, she is also one of the most capable and helpful pharmacists in the world ever. She is very thoughtful and deliberate with understanding our needs and always provides additional information to support whatever comes up. She communicates with our care team and makes sure that we have what we need in a timely manner. A treasure in the South Bay! read more

I love this tiny pharmacy. The pharmacist calls you by name, makes suggestions, and it is truly a personal experience. I visit her every week for my new "blister" pack. If you don't know what a blister pack is, visit the pharmacy--you will be glad you did. read more

Very sweet people but undependable. More than once they have not filled a prescription that was called in by doctor five days prior and then do not have it in stock. I would not recommend this pharmacy to anyone that depends on their meds to be filled in a timely manner. read more

This is how pharmacies should be ran. Uyen and her staff are completely amazing. She truly cares and wants to make sure you are doing right by your meds. I've been going to her for 2 years now and I have to say CVS has nothing on her. She packages my meds every month and has been supportive as a friend. She is like family and I wouldn't have it any other way. She's fast, accurate, and extremely personable. She truly cares about each and every one of her clients. I moved to San Diego and she still does my meds. What does that tell you? No I'm not dumb. read more

If you are going to any other pharmacy you are making a mistake. The lead pharmacist and owner here is seriously the kindest soul ever. She truly cares about each person - not making automatic judgements and assumptions like some pharmacies. She knows everyone by name and truly takes the time to not only make sure you get what you need, but also to brighten your day. If you are dealing with long term health issues and more serious prescriptions - finding people with true empathy in these roles is rare and special. I cannot recommend this pharmacy - as well as returning the respect and kindness given - enough. read more

Going to a small independent pharmacy is such a lovely experience! This pharmacy actually answers the phone and returns phone calls. I had an amazing customer experience here and will be transferring my prescriptions here moving forward! read more

A great place to pick up your medication. The pharmacist, Uyen is very helpful. Highly recommend!

After being treated like a criminal at CVS and Walgreens for years I switched to here. Even though I pay a bit extra for some medications, they are always in stock and I'm treated like a human being. Well worth it, wonderful owner and team!!! read more

I will not be back. They are short staffed and too busy answering phones while customers in store are waiting. Prescription was 5x more expensive then my previous refill at my other pharmacy who was backordered. Not a good first impression, overall. read more

Easily the BEST pharmacy in the South Bay. My son has a rare disease and requires lots of meds. I moved back to America and was at my wits end within the first year with CVS- they were a nightmare. I discovered Southwood Pharmacy and our lives changed. The ease of accessing medication. The pharmacist has gone above and beyond to help advocate for my son's needs with insurance. One of the medications is an injection that must come from a Federal pharmacy due to high price of the product, she helped navigate the difficulty getting it delivered to our house even though there was no gain for her Pharmacy. She checks in on my son, she knows the whole family by name. When we had covid they delivered medication, vitamins and all of our needs and let me come in to pay for it once we were better. I truly couldn't imagine ever stepping foot in CVS pharmacy ever again and I'm so incredibly grateful for Southwood Pharmacy. read more

The whole staff there is really amazing. Uyen, Krystal, Yvonne all are hard and dedicated workers who really care about your medicine and health. Also a great place to go to get vaccinated without having to wait in line. Proud to be a lifetime customer. read more

It never occurred to me to provide feedback on a pharmacy before but Uyen and this business are far beyond what I ever thought a pharmacy could be. When my doctor dropped the ball on filling a prescription I called Uyen - she had already followed up with them. When I was ready to get a COVID booster she told me I should consider waiting for the updated booster, which became available 2 weeks later. She's knowledgeable and caring, she knows and asks about my family, she gets my monthly prescription ready before I even contact her about it... I'd do my taxes and get my oil changed here if I could. This place is the best. read more

I just happened to accidentally stumble upon this hidden gem of a pharmacy. The pharmacist, Uyen, and her absolutely lovely staff make every experience so pleasant. They go above and beyond and they basically become your extended family. We moved all our prescriptions from mail order to Southwood and we have not regretted our decision one bit. read more

This business is a business worth visiting. The owners are smiling and courteous people. I felt so comfortable and welcomed right when I walked through the door. I came to visit them for my vaccination for COVID-19. It was so pleasant and clean. The pharmacist were so good at explaining everything to me and also made sure I understood. The atmosphere was so private and clean. It made me feel protected both physically and mentally. The whole visit felt private and personal. Thank you for the experience and your welcoming atmosphere. I really appreciated how understanding they were also. I was a little worried and unsure. read more

We were trying to get a prescription filled and literally my son went to five different pharmacies and no one had the medication he was prescribed. Finally, he tried Southwood... and the pharmacist there took the time to explain to him why no one had what he wanted and help him resolve the problem by getting a slightly different Rx from the doctor. Thank you Southwood Pharmacy. We'll be trying you first from now on! read more

Worst place ever done go here. The lady barely speaks English. She thinks she's a doctor and she isn't. She's slow and will help another customer if someone else come into the store. There are plenty of other places to go. That's what you get for a small store. read more

Was referred to Southwood by my physician. Unfortunately they couldn't fill my script. Too bad because I always support the small businesses. I have a lot of business for them. Wish Southwood would work with me. Take Care read more

Got referred by my neighbor and I'm glad I made the switch. Do you remember how it felt to go to a neighborhood doctor who knew you on a first name basis and how safe you felt? This is that place. The Dr. takes the time to explain everything in detail. She is a pharmacist that used to work at Walgreens but they kept moving/ rotating them far away so she decided to set up her own. I love supporting small businesses without sacrificing quality so this is the best of both worlds. Good value great smiles and guarantee quality of product and knowledge. read more

Absolutely wonderful neighborhood pharmacy! The pharmacist is so very kind and extremely helpful. Had all my prescriptions transferred here, will never go to a big store chain pharmacy again. I encourage people to stop by and meet the owner. read more

Nice to have a wonderful new user friendly pharmacy. If your tired of the chain pharmacies Southwood Pharmacy is a very professional and refreshing experience. Very personalized service. read more

This is such a breath of fresh air in providing pharmacy services! This highly educated, experienced, and knowledgeable pharmacist opened her own pharmacy providing professionalism and personal service. She interacts with your doctor, tracks your shots, offers holistic options and will have them delivered to your door, if necessary. I've received a personal call that the second shot in a series is due - I had completely lost track. Be sure to stop in - she will take the time to talk to you and you'll never go to the big stores again. read more

This is a great pharmacy. I wish people would realize that they can use their insurance cards at other pharmacies besides CVS or Walgreens. I guess they must like waiting in long lines or stay on hold for 30 minutes. Southwood Pharmacy is a wonderful place where the Pharmacist and staff really care about you. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM read more

I just want to give a shout out for Southwood Pharmacy. The pharmacist and owner, Uyen Tran, is such a lovely person. We followed her here from the big chain pharmacy where she worked previously. She goes above and beyond to help her clients. The pharmacy is at 22220 PV Blvd at the corner of Sepulveda in Torrance. Highly recommend. read more

If you are looking for a Pharmacist that really cares and that is extremely knowledgeable and professional then I highly recommend Southwood Pharmacy, Uyen is the owner and is always there to answer your questions and always goes out of her way to help. It is great to help support small businesses and I hope everyone will support Southwood Pharmacy. read more

This is the old neighborhood pharmacy you had when you were young. Yen and Dewy, the owners always have a smile on their faces and welcome you. They go out of their way to help you if you have a problem or question. If you want to be treated special come to Southwood. read more

Our family is so happy we found this neighborhood pharmacy. We have used them a few times now and they already know us by name. They always ask about the health of our kids and offer help and advice to keep us healthy. My husband and I are both nurses, and my husband has been working directly with COVID patients during the pandemic. We had a possible exposure scare and they reassured us that they are there for us for every step of the way. They even stayed 30 minutes after they closed so we can pick up his prescriptions and vitamins and offered extra n95 masks to keep him protected. They genuinely go above and beyond for their patients. Thank you for all of your services! read more
