“I love westside Pharmacy. When you call you get a real person, the staff is warm and welcoming, my prescriptions are always on time and the Pharmacist available to answer questions.”
“Store open hours are a bit to limited, however the staff are stellar, they always look you in the eye and you can feel they are doing the very best they can. They're the most comfortable shop in town to do business with.”
“While I love going here for my prescription meds, I wanted to highlight how helpful their manager was today when I needed to file a police report for my stolen bike that was taken from the front of their store. Their cameras DO WORK!!! And they let me use their private office to file my report, and even offered me a courtesy ride home. Literally more helpful than the police in this case. Thanks Horsnyder Pharmacy!!”
“I have to give a shout about the young lady at the pharmacy register. I haven’t seen anybody multitask so effectively and efficiently for so long! And she does it with a smile. A true gem in this era - 5-Stars!”
“The staff here is amazing. They are beautiful, kind women who value customer service above all things. I had a photo order issue and they resolved it for me no questions asked and made me feel respected and valued by doing so. We need more people like them running stores. Every customer they came into contact with they made small talk with and ask if they needed help. You could see the impact of their service on the customers' faces. They felt taken care of, something that's become more and more rare as time goes on. Thank you SV CVS for all you do and those you help!”
“I would give more than 5 stars if possible. Knowledgeable, friendly, service with a smile. I'm so grateful to have a compounding pharmacy that goes above and beyond.”
“The staff at the Rio Del Mar CVS are very friendly and helpful. The pharmacist in particular that attended to me today is very kind and professional! This is my favorite location for my shots and supplies. Keep up the amazing job!”

“5 stars!! Kesha and her colleagues went the extra mile to get my mother her medicine when she was discharged from an invasive surgery. Despite the need for a quick turnaround, the staff banded together to get her what she needed to rebuild her health in record time! So thankful to have a service of this quality available in our community.”

“Years ago, I was directed by a clinic physician to a local, privately owned pharmacy in Santa Cruz. Two of the techs and then a pharmacist treated me horribly when I was in obvious need of my medication. I switched to CVS in Target and have never been happier with a pharmacy.”
“Jackie the Pharmacist is incredibly kind and thoughtful. She has always made herself available to answer questions and provide support when I needed it. Leticia is always really friendly and helpful too!”

“Kaiser doesn't have a strong footprint in the Santa Cruz area. These offices fill a gap that is left by the lack of a full hospital. Your only other option for full medical serves is to "go over the hill" (aka through HWY17) to reach the San Jose facilities. If you're willing to wait longer for an in person appointment then Scott's valley may be worth it.”

“i normally hate cvs environments, lol, they always feel emotionally draining and soul sucking, HOWEVER! cashier nyal was awesome, he was so funny and helpful with the coupons, honestly first time i’ve enjoyed a cvs experience”
“Kaiser is and always has been amazing to me. Medication is way more affordable. $10 versus $600 elsewhere. Also Kaiser's more organized about recordkeeping and all the doctors know about other doctors I've seen and my results. I find them to be kind and caring. It's true that you have to stay at Kaiser offices but if you have an ER grade emergency you can go to any non-Kaiser hospital and they will cover it.”

“From out of town, had everything we needed. Nice clean store, isles marked well, found items needed online, with isle # assigned. Items found where assigned. Staff friendly.”
“My vet prescribed an Rx for Methimazole Anhydrous PLO for my 19-year-old cat who was recently diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism Disease. This Rx originally came in pill form but it was ' high drama' for both me & my cat each time she was dosed which was every 12 hours. So the vet changed Rx to accommodate a different application which made it possible to administer the medication successfully w/o the drama. YAY! She directed me to this pharmacy where they hand-prepare the Rx. I highly recommend this pharmacy not only for their ability to prepare medication for specialized cases but their staff was amazing. They are very knowledgeable & gave me very clear & thorough instructions on how to apply & answered all my questions. I was impressed with their professionalism, patience & overall passion for the good care of the animals we love, our precious pets. My cat & I are most grateful to this business. Refills are a breeze AND they deliver. Cool huh?”

“Kesha in the pharmacy is an angel! She has earned this pharmacy its five stars and then some. She and the pharmacist are courteous, respectful, helpful and professional.
Customer service is not easy anywhere and is particularly brutal in Santa Cruz where many jobs are understaffed and the public is, in general, preposterously entitled. I deeply appreciate how genuinely kind and friendly Kesha is, going above and beyond what I would consider adequate service for a transaction. I very much appreciate that both the pharmacist and Kesha are respectful on the phone and in person, even when I have prescriptions that have to be special ordered. This is the first pharmacy I’ve been to that was willing to make a special order.
They do not treat me like a criminal or a bother and it keeps me coming back here. I hope the managers of this pharmacy take note and do what it takes to retain the high quality staff! If you are currently suffering from mistreatment at Walgreens, I highly recommend switching to Safeway on Mission.”
“This CVS location has an excellent salesman and saleswoman. They proactively ask customers if they need help, demonstrating genuine care for everyone who enters the store.
However, I wish this level of customer service was consistent across all CVS stores in the North Bay, especially the Greenbrae CVS. The salesman and saleswoman there seem to hide from customers, making it difficult for us to seek assistance.
On the positive side, I highly recommend the CVS at Rio Del Mar location. I hope every CVS in the nation learns from this store’s commitment to customer hospitality. It truly matters.”
“Costco pharmacy has been way easier for us than the national chain drug store near our house. Wait times are easy to manage when you use their call/text system and the hours are terrific. No complaints. We had vaccines here too with no problems. Staff seem friendly and competent though different every time I go in. Some of the one star reviews are years old… check the dates!”

“This is the best CVS in Santa Cruz. Not only do they have a great selection of items, the store is clean and the staff is friendly and helpful. I'm also especially grateful for the manager Fernando who has cleaned up the parking lot situation and clearly takes pride in making sure his customers not only feel welcome but safe. I can personally speak to this as a female shopper, thanks to Fernando I can once again feel safe and secure parking and shopping at our West Side CVS. As a matter of fact, I pick up everything from grocery items to my favorite skin cleanser in one stop! We need more managers like Fernando in Santa Cruz county!”

“Janeva is the best. Normally I use CVS in Scotts Valley out of habit. They couldn’t get my prescription for some reason yet didn’t notify me about it. I went in and they suggested trying Walgreens. Walgreens faxed CVS for the transfer which CVS didn’t respond to. Then Janeva talked to them on phone and got it transferred. CVS said I could only do a 3 month supply but I’m going out of the country for 4 months. The prescription was for 6 months supply. Janeva not only was able to do the 6 month supply but for cheaper than CVS! Normally it’s $120 for 3 months but she figured out how to do it for $80. Not only is she amazing at her job but she’s nice and funny too.”
“Nothing but good things to say about this place. I had a canvas print order that got mixed up, Vicki was very kind and professional in handling the whole thing. 10/10 for customer service I will be coming back for more prints!”

He guided me through the app process and had me in and out of the photo lab in 10 minutes with the most beautiful picture of my grand dog!”
“I like the Safeway Pharmacy on 41st because it is convenient and fast - there is usually a very short line unlike other pharmacies. There are also private rooms to get vaccinated. The staff is mostly polite and attentive. You can easily get someone on the phone when you call.”
