So I looked and found this nice local Rite Aid and was able to park right by the entrance and lave my little dog in the car for a few minutes (I shop in the morning when I bring my dog so I can get my errands done before things really heat up). I was able to get all the items I needed in this small and not crowded store. Though they were clearly running at bare bones staffing I was still able to get my items and to checkout in less than 15 minutes. My dog was neither uncomfortable nor anxious since my trip was so brief. Nice place, clean, intuitively organized, with polite and knowledgeable staff. I had only come for some antacids, a few batteries for a radio, and an impulsive candy bar but that would have taken much longer at the CVS and, maybe I'm imagining this, but the Rite Aid staff seemed somehow happier than the CVS folks who, in my experience seem pretty unhappy with their jobs. So, shorter walk, easy parking, had what I came for and got my errands done in record time. Yay, Rite Aid.

I am writing this review after an extremely frustrating experience at this CVS. On February 16,…read more2026, shortly after moving from Massachusetts to California, I visited this location to transfer a prescription from a CVS in Massachusetts, a process that should have been straightforward. Because the prescription had expired, I contacted my provider in Boston, who promptly sent a new prescription to CVS in Massachusetts which had to be transferred here in CA. I spent nearly four hours at this pharmacy, during which staff repeatedly gave me incorrect information, claiming that "laws and restrictions" prevented the transfer. This was not true and appeared to mask an inability to process the transfer correctly in their system. When I contacted the CVS in Somerville, MA, they confirmed the prescription had already been transferred to this CVS on Mendocino Ave, CA. A nearby CVS also confirmed they could not assist because the prescription was stuck in this store's queue. Having run out of this medication and unable to obtain it due to this delay, I was forced to seek care in the ER. The lack of competence and accountability at this location is alarming, especially given that similar complaints seem common. I have since transferred all my prescriptions to Walgreens.

I switched health plans last year and cleared that up at the time and have gotten refills twice since then. But I go back a third time to pick up what my new doctor just called in and they said there was an insurance issue and to call the insurance company. Again?!? Did the system revert back to my old insurance? I should have asked which insurance they were referring to but I shouldn't have had to. I thought we cleared that up already but here I am without my medication having wasted a trip. Very frustrating and I have had it and I am done with this pharmacy. I thought this would be a convenient location for picking up my prescriptions but apparently not. Nothing but a frustrating hassle.

I told him I know it's a disposable camera, I'm old enough to know. His response??? "Whatever man." No polite customer services, no helpful suggestions. This location either needs to be closed or action needs to be taken on the manager. No amount of training will help.

Then they say to call ahead next time, but it's a 10-15 minute wait on the phone and it's still not ready! The pharmacist is nice, but all the other employees are cold and unpleasant.

Someone needs to look into the problems there.

The line was very long for their Western Union about a 40 min wait but within 5 mins of reaching the counter, I had my issues SOLVED!

Despite a line of impatient customers forming, the employee remained calm, composed, and attentive. He spent about 20 minutes helping me resolve the issue without letting the pressure affect his professionalism. Once everything was fixed, I was very satisfied with the service provided. His patience, dedication, and quality of care truly reflect a level of service that stands out--qualities that deserve recognition, and in my opinion, make him a strong candidate for a raise or management consideration. That's the kind of service and quality care is needed, and I felt well taken care of. Thank you Dominic!

One star for a few reasons:…read more 1. They provided conflicting information. Their staff seems confused and disorganized. I had a specialty prescription that needed to be filled here and they told me it could be filled at a regular pharmacy. I waisted days going in circles to find that the prescription needed to be filled at a specialty pharmacy like this. It was a headache for me, our typical pharmacy, our doctor, and my infant who was in pain. 2. They don't take Cigna insurance. They are also less than helpful with information on getting the insurance to reimburse the cost. They also don't take good Rx or any other discount support. 3. Price - Paying out of pocket they charge more than other specialized pharmacys around. The speciality drug store in Windsor was at least $30-40 less and willing to find creative ways to help decrease the cost. (by $130) 4. Wait time - They called to say our prescription was ready but then we had to wait another 15 minutes for them to mix it when we got there. 5. Lack of awareness - while I'm rocking my sleeping baby in the carrier trying to get in and out as fast as possible the staff approaches me to loudly chat. The awareness that I'm hiding in the corner with a covered baby away from the noisy register should give them a clue. I waited months to post this draft because we needed to come back for refills and I was hoping the experience would change. It didn't. Having a baby with both colic and reflux is hard and the pharmacy didn't make things easy on us. Fortunately the medicine did help so it was all very worth it!
