Wellspring Pharmacy is a small, independent pharmacy in Oakland, CA, devoted to providing higher quality services for a fraction of the cost of larger chains. It is described as a helpful, kind, and extremely competent local business. The staff and pharmacists are noted for being very friendly, informative, efficient, responsive, and reliable. They take time to thoroughly explain everything, answer questions clearly and concisely, and run things quite efficiently. Many reviews highlight their patience and genuine kindness, even during stressful times. A significant bright spot for the community, especially during the pandemic, was their operation as a vaccination site. Their website was reliably easy to use for booking appointments. The vaccination process is noted for going smoothly, with pharmacists taking care to properly administer shots to minimize soreness. They were also helpful and patient in advising on specific vaccination guidelines. The pharmacy itself is clean, and they appear to be one of the few compounding pharmacies left, able to customize prescriptions. While most services are very affordable, they may not always match the price of every prescription available elsewhere. Overall, customers highly recommend Wellspring Pharmacy as a welcome alternative to corporate big-box drugstores, appreciating the skilled, personal care from a small business that provides great service to the community.
I cane in to dispose of sharps and the staff was very helpful and gave good advice even when I was frustrated.

Assistants polite, pharmacist is extremely rude. He gave a long, unwelcome lecture about how naive I was for having the vaccine passport QR code on my phone

I've been to this pharmacy previously (last year and prior) and again on October 12th for Covid and Flu vaccines. The staff is NOT welcoming or friendly at all. We're all living in stressful times and friendliness goes a long way!
