This place has gone downhill since I last wrote my review many years ago. It was once a 4 star place, now it is a 2.5 star rounded to a 3 star. The good - - For loyalty customers - Weekly specials on things like soda and detergent. I wait until their Tide or other variety are heavily discounted, i.e. sometimes from $5 each to 4 for $10 but you must buy 4. - Some groceries like frozen dinner items, ice cream, canned soup, nuts, cereal, etc. They have limited electronics and printer inks, and the usual cosmetics and over the counter medicines and prescriptions - A pharmacist is usually available to discuss your medications with you regarding use instructions and side effects The bad 1. Wait time for prescriptions can be very long. even hours. Granted the fault is sometimes the customer who doesn't have the insurance worked out or the doctor's office. The drive through is great only if you're the first or second car, but not necessarily so if they're understaffed at the time you're there. 2. Biggest complaint in addition to the wait times is that someone will call saying the prescription is ready but you get there, and it's not. 3. Not Walgreen's fault but there are often homeless people hanging around the premises and sometimes panhandling. Also be aware that when the Tustin Brewery or other businesses across Newport Blvd. have no parking, people will park at Walgreens and walk across the street. Parking is better now that they've taken away the EV charging stations. read more

The pharmacy at this, Walgreens is highly professional, responsive, and always willing to personally help with any prescription issues. I am seriously baffled why waiting for this Pharmacy is so low because their community located, open 24 hours a day and every time I have a silly thing popped up with my insurance or with a prescribing medical provider they always help me figure it out. People here are always very kind and helpful and Text as well as the pharmacist themselves are always very knowledgeable and believe an answer questions regarding choosing over-the-counter medication's so it's a whole package in my mind. read more

No reception in this place! Walked around the area still no reception. If you need to return something that requires a QR code, take a photo of it first before even heading here. The workers are miserable and do not know how to smile. Never come back here again! read more

Super convenient location for us. They even cooperate with online companies to be a distribution hub. Picked up some wine I ordered online there. read more

Soheil in the pharmacy department is amazing! The best service and she's so sweet! Thank you!

I came in for my scheduled vaccine appointment at 8:30 AM and stood at the pharmacy counter for 8 full minutes without a single acknowledgment from the staff. During that time, three employees, a pharmacist, and even the store manager walked back and forth behind the counter, yet no one said hello or even glanced in my direction. As someone with a disability who cannot stand for long periods, this was extremely frustrating and disappointing. I finally had to speak up myself just to let them know I was there. Whatever happened to basic customer service, like a simple "Hi, we'll be right with you"? It makes a big difference. Unfortunately, the staff was not friendly at all, and the lack of acknowledgment made me feel invisible. Please; do better. Be better. Customers should be treated with respect and basic courtesy, especially when we have appointments and medical needs. read more

PHARMACY **HONG MANAGER & UPPER CORPORATE MNGMENT to Walgreens Pharmacy I had a vaccination that I needed to get for travel and I arrived early for my schedule appointment at 9:05PM. I waited until 9:30PM since no one called me after i checked in. Just to be told after waiting 25 mims, that the pharmacist scheduled to fulfill this left early. The new pharmacist for grave yard explained he was alone and couldn't vaccinate without other another pharmacist WHICH I UNDERSTAND BUT SERIOUSLY???????.... The pharmacist who was schedules 5/25 left early and DIDNT DO HIS JOB. I was on time and early. I literally saw him leave. He didnt check the vaccination schedule and left. This is actually insane and there are no words to describe how upset i am at this. The manager needs to enforce: scheduling and following simple guidelines for operation. Its unfair to consumers that count on Walgreens Corp for services when they cant even fulfill appointment times. I WAS ON TIME, CHECKED IN & PATIENT. Waste of time. If youre reading this, dont bother going here. Youre better off going somewhere to save yourself the stress for others lack of work ethic. DO BETTER. OR CLOSE. read more

Drove to the store 9:45 pm to pick-up a 2 item mobile order and there was a very long line at the drive thru. Store was closed! It shows 24 hours! I got in the drive thru line and I had been waiting 20 minutes and only moved 2 car lengths. Was scrolling through Yelp and noticed someone left a review (thank you girl!) that they do not give mobile orders in the drive thru. I left. Big waste of time. I will have to come back tomorrow. My order is ready but only can pick-up at the photo counter. Would like to have known this before I drove to the store. My original confirmation showed drive thru available 24 hrs. Communication is so important especially when you are a large chain drugstore. Please do better Walgreens! read more

Mariah at pharmacy is amazing. I unfortunately had to be on hold with insurance for a while so I spent a while in the waiting area. I saw her deal with a really rude customer, handle long lines, and for myself, she prepared for success by telling which numbers to request when I finally have a hold of my insurance. Extremely please. Ps: people on the floor were really kind. Xotchil, asked me if I was finding everything okay and if I needed the bathroom door opened. read more

It's simply not that hard to run a pharmacy. Constantly getting calls that they can't find my prescription or they fill the wrong quantity from an old prescription. You call in and get sent to a "care center" aka call center that can't actually do anything. I just tell them to immediately transfer me to the actual pharmacy I am calling now. I don't appreciate having to do this for every single med I take. It takes upwards of 20 minutes each time. And don't get me started on how long it takes to pick up in the store...... read more

Oh my God!! I wanted to print out few colored flyers and Raj Birla walked in like a God sent angel. He stood with us for the whole time until we got everything done. Do know this location has the worst of WiFi but this guy helped us through it all and made this trip such a sweet experience which could have been a disaster. He definitely needs a raise and is an assert to the store! read more

NOT 24 HRS. Worst Walgreens. I had to pick up emergency meds. My doctor submitted the prescription at 11pm, I'm sitting here in the parking lot at 2:40 am and come to the store front with a sign saying they aren't open and to go to the pharmacy drive thru. I drive to the drive thru and there's a sign that says "Closed, will return at 3:30". Like are you serious...? I don't anticipate a ton of people coming to get meds late into the night, you graveyard pharmacists can't stay open and serve those few people? I waited in the drive thru for 35 mins, pressing the call button, and nothing. If you're looking for a 24 hr pharmacy, DO NOT look here. They apparently need a 2 hr break from serving that 1 customer. Terrible. read more

This place is literally the worst. From waiting over two hours for a flu shot with an appointment to hours in line to PICK UP a prescription. They usually have one person (or sometimes no one) working at the pharmacy. I only use for emergencies. And even then I would Get faster medicine in a crowded emergency department read more

who TF is running the pharmacy dept?? the main pharmacist here is a whole JOKE. She is super rude and does not know how to interact with humans. She doesn't have a sense of urgency ,yet always acts like customers are inconveniencing HER she doesn't honor vaccination appointments so what's the point of forcing ppl to make one? the female technician is the only saving grace in that department. AVOID THE PHARMACY HERE AT ALL COSTS read more

The worst place ever. They claim to be 24 hours but beware because they aren't. They have a huge sign in the front saying they're open but their team needs a break so whatever your needs are you can go through the drive thru. I went and waited an hour only for them to tell me the team for the specific department isn't there and to come back tomorrow where "they open at 6 but the team doesn't come in until after 8". Biggest waste of time and worst communication from this business read more

Absolute shit service at the pharmacy. Always takes forever. Pharmacists are always rude. I was going out of town for the holidays so I came to pick up my meds 4 hours before my month supply was due to refill since I wouldn't be able to make it. Now I will be a week without my meds (even Though my doctor included a note describing this). Would not recommend Walgreens to anyway. CVS, Costco anywhere besides them. If you have to go to a Walgreens. Avoid this one! If I could give 0 stars I would read more

Warning to anyone wanting to book a vaccine appointment with Walgreens. . .DONT. I made an appointment for myself. Showed up and was sent away bc even though I had scheduled my appointment over a week before, they didn't have one of the three vaccine available. I said ok give me the 2 and I will reschedule the third. The pharmacist told the tech to tell me i needed to get them all at once and couldn't get them individually. Im a registered nurse and that is a flat out lie. He didn't want to be bothered. I said nothing. No sorry for wasting my time and gas. A simple instruction to reschedule. I did make another appointment but at a different location (not Tustin again). At this location it took the technician over an hour to process my insurance and understand what vaccines I needed even though it was clear in my appointment. Finally got my needed travel vaccine and left happy this was over and done. Story far from over though. Made my husband an appointment a week later and a week in advance to the appointment hoping this went better. Showed up to appointment in Irvine. The pharmacist let us know that we were at the wrong location and to go to the other Walgreens in Irvine. I asked if we could receive the vaccine at this location since we were already here and he told us no bc we checked in for the appointment and they were already processing it at the other store. Drove 18 min to the other location. This site let us know that they did not have the vaccine for the appointment we had made over a week ago. Told to make another appointment on line. Ileft the store very frustrated. Decided (hesitantly) to call Tustin location. The Pharmacy tech that answered the phone had poor communication skills and was the most unprofessional call I've had in a long while. She did however confirm that they had the 2 vaccines needed on hand. I thanked her and made yet another appointment on line for the same day to have this finished. My husband and I arrive and were told they have the vaccine but neither one of the pharmacist working were qualified to administer the vaccines. We were told to reschedule again. At this point I voiced my frustration and asked the tech to make me a new appointment for all the inconvenience Walgreens had caused today. She reluctantly did it and did apologize. I still don't understand why Walgreens online site allows you to make an appointment when A) they don't have the staff to administer B) have the vaccine to give you and C) don't bother to call the customer before they arrive. So the next day my husband drives to Tustin for hopefully the last time to receive his vaccine. 5 min before his appointment and arrival to store. .they call to tell him they don't have the vaccine any more and need to reschedule him yet again. I have never written a yelp review good or bad. But this has to be the worst experience I have ever had with any establishment in my life. Such poor service and customer service. I will never give business to Walgreens ever again and am shocked they even have any. As I was sitting for hour waiting for my injection I saw customer after customer that were turned away or something with their prescriptions was wrong. Again and again. The tops was this elderly man (mid 80s) with his walker and caregiver. Barely able to make the walk to the back of the store to get to the pharmacy area. He told the technician he received a call that his monthly prescriptions were ready for pickup. No meds were ready. He asked why they called him then. The technician shrugged her shoulders and let out a lite laugh. No sorry, no trying to understand what happened or try to make it right. The poor man. Walgreens is a joke and I wouldn't trust them with any of my health needs. Warnings to all that read. Steer clear for your own sanity and and probably your safety. read more

Please find a way to make that drive thru pharmacy go faster! I was the fourth car and i waited 45 min. I wonder if they prepare the medication when you go to the drive thru. I think if the medication is not ready they should tell them to go inside or go back in the line. I dont know...its supposed to be fastee because its drive thru but its not. Please find a solution. Thank you! read more

If you are in a hurry to get photos, try someplace else. They do not fill your order until you come in to pick them up, even hours after they say they will be ready. This has been the case for a few years. I was told they have other orders to fill but there is never anyone working to fill those orders either. Also, check your orders before you leave, mine included other people's. read more

The old lady at the cashier didn't want to help you at all and she is quite rude. This is the first pharmacy location I went.

If I could leave 0 stars I would by far the worst Pharmacy in the world Everyone is rude They never claim to receive the RX call the Dr and they say the same thing about this location . Every client they have says the same thing not sure what this review will do because we seem to keep coming back my wife likes the drive thru service . read more

I like the people that work here. Just not how they work. Lol. It's ok. Their pharmacy is sometimes disorganized. IMO. Waiting on a prescription takes forever and sometimes the ins and them don't get along. When I've gone outside of them I find out that I can get things a bit cheaper. And if I'm prescribed something and it's over the counter they won't fill it. Telling me to pay for it retail. Ehhh isn't this why I have insurance? The parking lot could use some help too. For being in the middle of Tustin it's not up to par with cleanliness. read more

Worse pharmacy ever. My partner went to this pharmacy after going to the dentist, he's been in excruciating pain. He went to give his prescription and waited for them. As he was getting checked out he asked if his insurance covered the meds. The person who was helping him had previously done it without insurance and said it was going to be twenty something dollars. So then once they did his insurance, they told him it didn't cover it. My partner then asked them if he could just pay cash. They told him they couldn't give him the medicine even if he wanted to pay for them because it was going to flag the system. He went to a different Walgreens after that and he did the exact same thing and they gave him his medicine even though he had to pay. The CVS pharmacist literally said some random law but again makes no sense because the other pharmacy had no issues. Avoid this pharmacy at all costs. read more

Absolutely, the most dysfunctional pharmacy on the planet. Wait times, lack of communication, customer service... Anyone reading this right now knows exactly what I'm talking about here. read more

Randomly closed at 10:30p on a Sunday for no apparent reason. When printing the sign, no one, not even a manager in sight spell checked the simple form for errors like simple street addresses like Chapman in our neighboring City of Orange. Joke? Maybe... But honestly not sure if we should be alarmed or worried if someone is tied up in the back. Weird stuff from our local drug store off Newport and Old Irvine. Maybe a sign the recession is actually here? You tell me. read more

I have read some reviews for this location and surprise to see such negative reviews The location is a good and drive thru is not a hassle. Easy access! Every time the I've come in for my prescriptions the pharmacists and staff are good. I had issues with CVS, with all the bad service they gave me and to others, that's really shocking. I decided to switch pharmacy and chose this Walgreens location . To start off their app is easy access and notifies you. Not only that but you get a call, and if there's issues they help you out. The pharmacy at times when busy I've gone they greet and thank you for your patience when your in line. Also when stepping in, you get greeted. Today I spoke with a lady that her name sounded like Cheryl, but not sure. She we were discussing about my insurance coverage, not being accepted at Walgreens. She suggested RX coupon which which I have. I called back and the same lady answered. I wished I would of taken her name. She took her time and checked if there's a better price for what I for prescribed. After knowing the amount I'd payed out pocket. I decided I'm still going to stay do to service. I let Cheryl know how it's a good feeling to know that you're being taken care of, providing great service is very rare. I thanked her for what she did today. I had to come here and give credit when it's deserved. Yes, the customers might be interesting to look at, and at times can be questionable. The feeling of being acknowledged and given great service, now in days you just don't get. Overall whether it's for pharmacy or location. I'm satisfied with the service I receive when I walk in or even do drive thru. Pharmacy and staff are great. Remember the pharmacist can't control what your insurance accepts, and subscriptions they receive and don't have, it's out of their control. You can partner up with your doctor, insurance or pharmacy of what locations accept or have what you need. But remember it's a 24 hour pharmacy, most likely be busy and will be on the go. Just be patient and see what can be done if there's an issue. Thanks again Cheryl for you assisting me with my subscriptions. read more

Really disrespectful worker at pharmacy (on the picture). Started taking to me really rude, when I said that I waited for one hour with an appointment!!! Then another assistant give me application (what they should do one hour ago), and make me wait another half hour (btw, assistant in blue uniform was really sick with constantly blowing nose). Pharmacist who provides me vaccination was really nice gentlemen. read more

Had to channel my inner hostage negotiator to get a simple antibiotic. The pharmacist was on some kind of power trip. We were filling a kid antibiotic while on vacation. He claimed he didn't have the med and refused to call the urgent care to discuss a substitute med. He insisted the clinic call him. Kept having to call the urgent care to try to reach the PA in between patients. The urgent care staff had never seen anything like this. If you need a 24 hour pharmacy, try CVS on Brooker instead. read more

I work in health care and called the pharmacy for a new RX for a patient having surgery- RUDEST PHARMACY TECH- JULIO! I even had to ask him if I was bothering him!

Long waits, poor customer service, our neighborhood doctors advise against using them.

Pharmacy review only! Went there on a Sunday at 5pm I'm the only patient there, not counting the drive-thru pickup. Took 40 minutes for them (two pharmacists, plus a tech) to figure out how to bill my insurance since I apparently didn't have the right card on me, just my medical card. This was for 2 new prescriptions which were already called in advance and ready. And I'm already in their system as a patient, just no insurance info. So don't go here if you can help it or it's late. I actually had to call Express Scripts and have them explain to me that the same information on my medical card needs to be given over the phone by a pharmacist to their 800 number if they need to look me up and charge me the right out-of-pocket amount. You're a major Pharmacy and you don't know how to bill or look somebody up who has Express Scripts?? (a major insurance provider). Insane. read more

Lisa the cashier has amazing customer service! Shout out to Lisa.! I came looking for wireless speakers and even though I didn't find the ones I wanted, she still stopped to give me details about the ones they have. And she didn't bother me when I was looking up reviews. She is the prime example of how people should be treated by a business. With love and respect. You go girl! read more

I complained that they changed the diabetic needles on me without telling me. It was for my cat and the Needle Gauge, was much larger than what was prescribed. I didn't notice it initially and it must have been painful for my cat and I told these idiots over and over again to make the correction and they would not. Finally I changed to a different drug store company that knew how to get it right! These people are just horrible and I am so disgusted with their lack of care. Why are they even still in business. read more

Absolute worse pharmacy ever. I literally dread every time I have to pick up medication. Unfortunately, this is the pharmacy that's closest to me so I have to suffer from the worst customer service rotten attitude from the little girls that work here. Each and every time... like there hasn't been one time I've picked up my medication without issues. These little girls seem like they hate life and don't want to be there. You can hear it in their tone and see it on their face. Any one seems to be an inconvenience walking in or driving up. read more
