“A & O Peninsula Pharmacy is great. The pharmacist and staff are ALWAYS friendly, kind, and very helpful. They make it a point to know their customers' names which makes you feel welcome when going into their store. Keep up the great work A &O!”
“I've been using CDD Vault for a year now. As a researcher who generates a lot of data though bioassays i should admit that CDD vault is very user friendly with a simple interface, gets the work done quickly and its is also easy to retrieve data.”
“This pharmacy went above and beyond when it came to filling my prescription. I couldn't find any pharmacy that carried the specific brand I was looking for until I found this one. I called them and didn't expect them to have it as well. I received a call from them about 30 minutes later, saying that they had it. I expected it to take a week or two days to get this brand, but they were able to get it for me the next day! I will never return to the chain pharmacies (CVS, WG). Thank you very much!”
“For those taking care of a homebound person, I want to share how CVS helped me, especially the clerks and manages who understand the needs of the homebound, take care of my parents with all of their health needs when their own health care provider would not help In short, for dementia, they have "Bright Strong" with Ginko Biloba, and Choline, though not a cure, but it helps, and is much cheaper than stronger brands, which may be more effective, but are very expensive to use daily. Be aware that dementia can influence one's inability to walk or transfer. As my parents ability declined, CVS had canes, walkers, wheelchairs and commodes that were very helpful For skin cancer, "Skin Tag Oil", again, not a cure, but seemed to prevent my mom's skin cancer from growing, which became an open wound about 1 inch diameter, and keeping a stasis. It may be the ingredient "Thuja Occidentalis" made from conifer oils, that has anti-cancer properties. With this wound care with saline solution, sometimes hydrogen peroxide, which deeply cleanses and may have anti-cancer properties, yet, too much can prevent healthy skin from regrowing, and iodine, which may have anti-cancer properties, with rolled gauze used as a bandage and hold with clear or cloth tape. If wound is more serious then use gauze pads or adhesive bandages. For incontinence, 3x4 ft thick cloth pads which are washable were helpful at night and as padding on the wheelchair, and adult undergarments, be it Depends or the CVS brand worked well For bed sores, if minimal, like skin irritation, then Caladryl or the CVS brand are good, but they can get worse quickly and become an open wound, then use Caloseptine, a thick cream, which works well, and maybe cover with an adhesive bandage For bowel movement issues, to keep things regular and avoid constipation or diarrhea, daily probiotic yogurt, like Acitiva, with a good fiber cereal like Grape Nuts, which taste good together, and a spoonful of Metamucil (try different spoon sizes to find what works for the individual) helps a lot. For difficulty in urination, or prostate issues, especially if typical medication from doctors loses its ability, they say the issue is that the prostate has grown with old age and limits the urethra, which is true, but there are natural remedies that deal with urinary tract and kidney infections that result, and for women, not necessarily related to the prostate, but other factors. So, Saw Palmetto, one pill per day and maybe work up to two or three per day, find out what works for the individual, three may be too strong, but Saw Palmetto, I found, going back a century, made from the Palm Plant, has been used to decrease prostate gland, regulating the change in hormones that occur in old age, that cause the increase. Also, difficulty in urination is not only because of growth of the prostate, but of the resulting urine that remains in the gall bladder unable to expel, and can cause infection in the Urinary Tract System, including the kidneys 100 % cranberry juice (most are only 25%, so look at the label), about 4 oz per day and 8 cups purified water or 600mls water per day helps. Also, one or two garlic pills and maybe one tumeric pill per day helps prevent bacterial infections in the urinary tract system Again, thank you to CVS and all the staff who provide this service to those with health problems. I write this as a summary of online resources such as Webmed where doctors and homebound people give advice”
“This location is well run and very convenient. I also find the pharmacy staff excellent, and a standout is Rachel who is always going the extra mile to be helpful and professional.”
“Great pharmacy for deliveries and prescription fills, easily reachable and very responsive. I would highly recommend using their services if you are in the Bay Area”
“The staff members are helpful, convenient location. Some of the item needs to be restocked (make up, snacks,etc). I always would love to shop their discounts because the deals are really really good”
“Kristine on the wall screen delivered outstanding service! She was incredibly helpful, patient, and genuinely made my day. Truly exceptional experience — amazing job, Kristine!”
“Walgreens Burlingame has a fantastic photo department. The employees who work the photo station, particularly Kevin, are great. I have gone to the Walgreens on 3rd Street multiple times for orders and they are never ready. When I go to the Walgreens in Burlingame, they are always very prompt and helpful.”
“Went to Walgreens Burlingame/Broadway Store to buy a birthday present and wrapping paper and also had a rather complicated return. Darlene was the cashier that helped me and she was wonderful! She was professional, very friendly, very calm and a good listener. She took care of my transaction quickly and I was on my way. My return transaction could have been made complicated and stressful with the wrong clerk. Darlene was the best! Hope she continues to work at the Burlingame/Broadway store. Maybe she can pass her excellence in customer service on to her co-workers!!”

“Hospitals. It's often easy to find out what is wrong... so I understand harsh reviews. They are useful & that's great because there is the ability to improve! Mills has been around for a long time- and yet it is modern, tech-savvy and the doctors and nurses work as a team. Our stay is at Christmas-time. The most heart-wrenching time to be here. However, we have been happily surprised at the willingness to find out what is REALLY wrong. We are here for a cardiac issue, that means a BP check every 2 hours... that means lights on at 2am and 4am etc, with questions and possibly consultations. The staff and Docs are great! We appreciate their diligence and thoroughness. The meals are hot, tasty and well-prepared + big variety on menu. Delivered in about 30 minutes / or preorder. The Room is super clean and comfortable. I was invited to stay with my hubby- wow, a bed was made up for me! Variety oof rooms, clearly marked with cautions like "fall hazard" marked on the door. Nurse / doctor names are marked on a white board so changes are easy to see. I am so grateful that everyone explains what they are doing, in a courteous and thoughtful way. I am confident they will figure out the issues, but while that is on-going he is resting peacefully. this is the best place for him to be, safe and calm. Thanks Mills, it's our first time here, and you are super stars.”
“I want to give Nil and Rita a shout out. They went above and beyond to help me find the items I needed at Walgreens. They were kind, courteous, and genuinely friendly throughout the entire experience. Their professionalism and willingness to help made shopping easy and enjoyable. This is one of the best Walgreens locations I’ve visited because of the outstanding customer service they provide. Thank you, Nil and Rita, for making such a positive difference!”
“Having just moved to Burlingame from out of state, this was my first time in. I had called in my prescriptions and they was ready for me. It was mid-afternoon and I had just one customer in front of me. Within a couple of minutes it was my turn and the person behind the glass was cheerful and helpful. So, so far, so good!”
