My old pharmacy closed, I don't go often enough to know when, but I had a prescription and decided to try this one out since I buy groceries here anyway. My doctor's office sent in my prescription and insurance information making it easy. I just want to say that I appreciate not having to wait for 30+ minutes to be acknowledged, or get my prescription. A lot of other pharmacies I've tried have been just ridiculous with the wait times. My doctor always sends the prescription in and I call to make sure it's ready before going to pick it up, yet I'm forced to wait 30-45 minutes to pick it up? This place is way more efficient. The pharmacists are very nice and helpful, a refreshing experience for me. I also booked an appointment online through the Albertsons app for a vaccine and it was super convenient and easy. They already had all information and insurance and I only had to sign a form and was given a coupon for groceries afterwards. I shop in the store regularly and have never noticed a line at the pharmacy when I've been in, which is why I wanted to try it out, it's definitely a massive improvement over CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreens etc. The pharmacy is located at the end of building, in the corner of the parking lot. There's an entrance to store over there, just go in and head to the right, you can't miss it. They have chairs available if you're waiting there for a prescription to be filled. read more

I'm sitting here at 9:10 am on a Saturday, they are supposed to open at 9:00 am! Not sure how much longer I can wait, I made a special trip to pick up my medication so I am not happy! read more

I have been getting my various vaccines here. Everything is run with efficiency and it is not too crowded. There are insufficient handicapped parking places out front. However, the parking lot is large, so there is much of a walk from wherever you park. For the COVID-19 variant vaccine, appointments are necessary. Just go onto Albertsons.com to schedule your visit. Easy as pie. read more

Albertsons Pharmacy - Receipt of purchase - Pharmacy Near Me - La Mesa, California

Some of the dumbest people work at this pharmacy, or they're just plain shady. Not sure which one. I unfortunately got a script filled here and it was nothing but a nightmare. Originally I asked to have my prescription transferred to Allen's Pharmacy cuz they deliver via mail which is super convenient. Sav On said "well we can do that." So they decided to send it to my front door and I have to be home. Which is NOT convenient. So they continued to do that for a few months. After no longer needing the prescription I called to cancel and the prescription and the guy said "Oh your good. There's nothing pending for u." I said NO I WANT TO CANCEL THE ONLY PRESCRIPTION I HAVE WITH U AND DON'T EVER WANT IT REFILLED. I NO LONGER NEED IT. I DON'T WANT IT DELIVERED TO MY DOOR ANY MORE. He then said he canceled it but we'll see. I have no faith they can do even the simplest tasks. read more

This place is the worst pharmacy with the most disrespectful staff. I went to this place I was waiting at the window for a long period of time and the Lady with with the ponytail was on the phone chatting and laughing I felt so ignored . She told me that she didn't see me, how could you bring up such an irrational argument . This is supposed to be a pharmacy and public health service. The next time I will use other pharmacies in my area. read more

I highly recommend this pharmacy for many reasons. When I came to San Diego to help care for my Mother who was dying, this pharmacy worked with me on transferring my existing prescriptions from NJ to SD, that was 3 years ago. I have since moved back to San Diego and the two Pharmacists that work there have gone above and beyond helping me with some new medical issues and prescriptions all during COVID. They have worked tirelessly for the Customers who they serve. Though there are waiting periods at times to receive your medication, they are doing the best they can and I feel that, We as the general public need to keep in mind that they are dealing with so many things due to the Pandemic and it is our obligation to be patient during these difficult times. I just want to say a big THANK YOU to the staff there at Albertsons in the Pharmacy Department. Diane Leuty read more

I have had nothing but positive experiences at this pharmacy. Technicians are always pleasant and helpful. I receive automated notification that my prescriptions are ready--and they ARE ready when I arrive. I do not understand why people get so annoyed when they have to wait in line! Almost anywhere you go, you have to wait. Relax and wait patiently. read more

Don't get why people hate this pharmacy. I've been coming here for years. They always have my scrips on time, and are spot on with pricing/insurance copays. Everyone who works there is very nice and makes for a pleasant trip! read more

I've been going to Sav On at this location for many years and have always had good knowledgeable and courteous service at this pharmacy. I guess this is a case where the only people that review are the ones that had a problem or had unreasonable expectations. I would recommend this place any time. read more

Slowest and worst pharmacy every. I've called and been put on hold, after being on hold 5 minutes, I call from another phone (while still on hold with the other phone) and they will answer. If your Doctor calls in a prescription don't assume they will fill it. They wait until you show up 4 hours later and then tell you to wait an hour. The staff could care less how long someone is standing at the counter, they completely ignore you. Worst service you can encounter! Albertsons needs to restaff and start over here. read more

I'm middle-aged, and this is the slowest and least competent pharmacy I have ever seen. I have been informed on the phone that a prescription is ready, stopped in, and then been told to come back because it isn't ready. Always slow, and often delayed further by false starts and mistake corrections. For months they blamed the problems on a new computer system. Months. The staff easily fall into a condescending arrogant attitude. If they sense that all the waiting is getting to you, they'll retaliate by making you wait some more. Avoid this place. read more

Just left this pharmacy today and went to Village Rose Pharmacy. The staff here at Sav-On is nothing short of a complete clown show. The prices for medications are different every time I walk in, a couple of their staff are rude and act put out when you ask questions. Today, they tried charging my mother $85 for a generic medication that I knew was overpriced so I went to Village Rose and surprise, surprise, it was only $10. The only reason I ever went to this pharmacy was due to location but never again. I'll drive 2 more miles to get a competent pharmacist and I'll do it gladly if it means never dealing with this Sav-On again. read more

Slowest pharmacy I've ever experienced. Ridiculous, truly. Some of the staff is great but if you don't get them you can wait 3 or 4 days to get your prescriptions. read more

Just went to this pharmacy for a prescription and had the worst customer service ever. If your Doctor calls in a prescription don't assume they will fill it. The staff could care less how long someone is standing at the counter, they completely ignore you. I had been there twice before and was unable to pick up my prescription because they said the doctor had not called in. So I contacted my doctor and they said they had called it in the day before but they would try for me again, So I gave them a day and went to pick up my prescription today. When I got there, there was a lady chatting with the pharmacy tech. I asked if I could check and see if my prescription had been filled. So they checked..the PT said something to the lady that was waiting about some people being so impatient and looked in my direction. I explained to her I had already tried to pick up this before but it wasn't ever there. The pharmacist then told me this prescription could not be filled again so soon. I told her it was a new prescription and I had never picked it up even once. So I waited another 20 minutes while she tried to figure it out. At the point I asked her if I could go get some shopping to do at the store ...she said to come back before 6 as they would be closed.it was 5:30 by then. I came back 15 minutes later and she was still staring at the computer...and didn't acknowledge I was there ....so I asked her if I should come back tomorrow. Her only reply was "I am working on it". So I waited again, and told the couple behind me I had been waiting for a while...they said last time they were there they waited 40 min for a single prescription. At 5 minutes to 6 she went to the shelves without saying anything to me , got the medication and came to the register. This time she said to me "the price for the medication would 49 dollars because she could not get my prescription to work" I think she meant insurance. which didn't make sense to me. I know my insurance would cover it. How could she sell it if she didn't get the prescription.. I left after almost hour without my prescription again. No apology or help from this uncaring and incompetent pharmacist. Rudeness prevails here. Avoid this place! read more

It is the best pharmacy I have ever had. The staff is wonderful and always helpful. They always have my medicines ready for me on their automatic refill systems. I never have to wait longer than 1/2 hour for a new prescription. They are the best. read more

In efficient and unhelpful people at this pharmacy. I have had to return at least five times for one prescription because they did not follow up with the doctor then today when I finally went to pick up my prescription they told me that I had to wait for the pharmacist to give me "instructions". Even though I have been taking this medication for at least 15 years. It seems the doctor might have adjusted the dosage. The pharmacist showed up but said she was still on her break and could not help me. So I have to go back tomorrow! This is the last time I go to this awful Pharmacy with very unhelpful people. read more
