“Feels great to be supporting a small pharmacy over the big chains, and the service is infinitely better on all fronts because they seem much better staffed! So grateful they’re here and it seems like they’re not prioritizing profits over their workers. Not to mention how clean and organized everything is in the Pharmacy, easy parking, and quick service for meds and vaccines. I also appreciate their direct text line for patients and their openness to answer questions! Very professional. Almost my whole family has switched over now.”

“It’s odd to tank a pharmacy, but this one has been SO impressive. They have a great text system that reminds me of refills, takes information and payment. Then they ship within a day or two and it shows up at my doorstep. I love the ease it takes to order prescriptions and the great customer service they provide. Highly recommended.”
“Alto Pharmacy is very easy to work with, their staff are very professional and caring. Their delivery service is on time and they have good communication as to when the package was delivered. Overall a very good experience with this company. Thank you.”
“Found this place while doing a Google search for one of my most expensive supplements. I'm trying to move away from Amazon and looking to support small businesses. Arcana was the closest location to me (I'm in LA) so I decided to give them a shot.
I was going to save maybe a couple bucks compared to Amazon but I was more concerned with shipping. I made sure to order my supplement with good time, well before I finished what I had left. Well, let me tell you, I didn't need to do that. My order arrived NEXT DAY! I'm going to check and see if they have any of my other supplements (or substitutes) because I am very happy with their service. Thank you!”
“We’re long-time customers of this friendly, professional pharmacy. We are always treated with respect by the staff and if they don’t have a product, they will get it for you.”
“I love this Pharmacy as they deliver and Gary is the best with customer service and helping with prescriptions. I'll not go anywhere else for medical needs for the dog I took in, and for me! And they have great cards!”
“Shoutout to Arnold in the deli section! He was extremely friendly, helpful, courtesy, and overall just had a great attitude. Excellent customer service. I really appreciated it. Give this man a raise!”
“Another Big W in the area. It’s in Encinitas but riiiiiight on the border of Carlsbad. Came by to get some filtered water, hairspray, and screws to nail something in. No long lines. Friendly employees. Everything is clean and well stocked and not a madhouse like some other Walmarts. Produce needs some love. Lots of parking out front too.”
“Excellent service provided by Kadence and Michele on Thursday 12 June 2025. They are very well trained, pleasant and explained the 20% MCAS Miramar benefits, which my son and I we were very happy to take part in.

“My experience with Cortex Wellness Pharmacy has been consistently outstanding. Almaz, along with the rest of her staff, have handled my compound prescriptions with the upmost care and professionalism. Always prompt and courteous. I recommend them with no hesitation for anyone needing compound prescriptions.”
“The pharmacists are extremely kind and helpful. Having had kidney transplant and always not in a great mood they are extremely patient. Also cheaper than CVS! It's worth the ride to La Jolla not to wait in understaffed long lines and having people who know what they're doing.
Another plus is the swiftness of their telephone service!
Thanks guys and girls! Keep up the great job!”

“Best pharmacy. Sharon is always so pleasant and helpful. She's responsive, knowledgeable, always willing to look into something and call back to answer questions. It's like having my own small town pharmacist with big chain advantages. Love it!”
“Once again, a review of my favorite pharmacy in the world! This place goes above and beyond— efficient, smart and friendly. I love that the staff is always so welcoming and Justin is super pharmacist supreme! Thank you!”

“Pharmacists and staff are friendly and knowledgeable. It's a quick and easy process to pick up prescriptions or get vaccines. You can use the app to order a medication refill if it's not on auto-fill or check past prescriptions, etc., and you can get text updates for when meds are ready. They are often ready earlier than expected too.”

“Easiest vaccine I've had in both time and administration. I was running late to make the family Dr. appointment to get our flu vaccines, and decided the drive from Miramar to Mission Valley for a 1 min appointment wasn't worth it. So, I booked an appointment to get the flu shot at the CVS since that's where I get my prescriptions and knew our insurance was accepted.
All in all, a great experience. I made the appointment online for the next day with plenty of times to choose from (vs 3 weeks out and before 4pm for the Dr office), got an email notification with a calendar link and a text notification the day of, thanks!
I walked up to the counter with two people ahead of me. A pharmacist behind the counter asked if I had an appointment and checked in yet. Yes to the appointment, not to checking in. She checked me in while in line, told me to sit down, and within 2 minuets was there with the shot.
The least painful shot I've ever received and it was done. Maybe 5 min total from walking into the store to leaving. I'm pretty sure we'll be going there from now on. Thanks!”
“I sincerely believed that establishments with a personal touch were a distant nostalgic memory... but this pharmacy changed that belief. Jason and his team are professional, prompt and knowledgeable. Their service is absolutely fantastic and they manage to go the extra mile on every ask. I appreciate the transparency, the support and the patience this group offers. I wish every business was this dependable!!! Jason, you are THE BEST! Thank you thank you thank you!”

“My new favorite pharmacy. Staff is super friendly, competent and knowledgeable. Short wait times. Honor GoodRx coupons and even look for better discounts for you. No long times, voicemail refill reminders, which you can opt to get via text. Can’t say enough very different the standalone CVS pharmacies. The service is excellent!”

“I am beyond impressed with the way the employees of the CVS Towne Center Dr have handled the transition of the closing of RiteAid on Governor Dr!! They have taken on all of the prescriptions for the now closed RiteAid and they are doing a phenomenal job!!! Bravo!! Hoping everyone has patience during any transition of this magnitude. Would love it if CVS took over the old RiteAid space!”
“I highly recommend La Jolla Discount Pharmacy. The owner, David, went out of his way to find a medication prescribed by my fertility doctor that he did not currently have in stock. Including visiting multiple pharmacies to pick it up for me. David spent time reviewing with me how to use the meds and provided his number in case I had any questions, especially after hours. The pharmacy has demonstrated that they care about their patients, and their actions prove it. Don't hesitate to take your business here.”
“Jackie went above and beyond to help me with a homebound patient's needs with items that are typically very difficult to order. I would highly recommend this pharmacy!”

“While I have been tenuously cautious about medication delivery, I gave this company a try and they made a wonderful first impression. The receptionist over the phone was very kind and showed great attention to detail, to the point of respecting my questions and preferences enough to have a transparent answer to them. The dealer or delivery driver was also nice, and after signing for the meds, I found a stress ball and a pen included with my medication. I'm very happy with this company and I look forward to teaming with them in another couple weeks. My insurance paid for everything so there was no mention of payment at any time when interacting with Genova. Great people, great company, great care.”

“Mintra (the lead pharmacist from what I can tell) is awesome! She helps when there are hurdles and is warm and caring. On a recent prescription the provider made a mistake and she proactively reached out to clear it up and checked in about solutions. She is a GEM! The team that works with her most seems to take her lead and gives the same warmth and care to patients. I wish I knew their names too. Three cheers for Mintra!”
“They are great! The people working behind the counter were very nice and helpful. When I selected to have my prescriptions delivered they actually called me to see if I had any questions. I also like how when I called the pharmacy I was able to get through quickly and easily to speak to someone in the pharmacy. So much better in every way than the previous pharmacy.”

“I had prescriptions refills I needed that were backordered at two different pharmacies, and this Costco had them. The woman who answered the phone both times I called on Thursday and Friday to request rx transfers, was super kind and helpful. I received texts when the rxs were filled and ready, and went in on Saturday morning and was able to get both of them. The staff was very pleasant helpful and answered my questions clearly. The size of the Costco shopping crowd was pretty intense, but the line for pharmacy was relatively short, moved quickly. Out of pocket prices using my Costco membership discount beat GoodRx. Very satisfied with my experience.”
“I came here for a last minute item (around 8pm on Tuesday night) and couldn't find it for the life of me. The employee stocking shelves (older gentleman with glasses - I forgot to get his name) who was stocking in the plumbing fixtures section was extremely helpful and very courteous. He went out of his way to help me, and was very friendly, and knew exactly where the item was that I was looking for. Despite it being on the other side of the store. I wish I got his name, but hopefully based off of the information I provided you're able to narrow it down and recognize him for going above and beyond.”
“Mary, the pharmacist, is exceptionally knowledgeable and very caring. She runs a tight ship and her team rocks! I have never experienced customer service this great at a pharmacy. Hats off to Mary for her compassion. She took the time to help me find an affordable alternative and educated me about my new prescription. I didn’t feel like a number and that means a lot.”
