Huge shoutout to **Cdm Drugs Compounding Pharmacy** next to the Port Theater for truly above-and-beyond care! After my pharmacy quoted $30 more for the exact same compounded mouth rinse, CDM Drugs not only crushed with a better price -- they delivered exceptional service yesterday. Rainy cold, I wasn't feeling well, the pharmacist personally dropped off my prescription after work. That kind of care is rare. Was told they accept most insurance plans (including Medicare), stay competitive on pricing, and make everything easy -- plus convenient parking and walkability in CDM. If you live nearby, or even drive through CdM regularly I can highly recommend this unique, lovely heart- centered local Pharmacy providing top tier Personal service you just can't find anymore plus seriously, competitive prices this is my new go -to small business to support, it's hard to find businesses that check off all the boxes ! Extraordinary service and low pricing! Check them out ! I'm believing you will be impressed by the obvious! read more

This pharmacy is not a friendly Cutomer service I was the last person in line and she' Daven' Closed the front gate. So she said the lunch time is 12:30 I was the last person in line and she was not friendly at all and did not let me go to the counter. Even store manager was not friendly and support her read more

Best pharmacy in Corona del Mar. The pharmacists are professional and caring. Not the disdain and attitude you get from your Ride Aid, Walgreens or CVS. At CDM drugs you are treated with professional respect. Proper attention is given to your individual pharmaceutical needs. I have been going to CDM drugs for over 8 years and am glad to have transferred all my prescription needs to this wonderful pharmacy. read more

Hands down the absolute BEST customer service I have ever experienced at a pharmacy.. heck, I worked in fine dining for years! Their ability to bring upon a smile and call us by our name while being timely and efficient is ABOVE AND BEYOND Not only do they take the time to hear you out, but they take the time to help with insurance approvals to put your mind at ease, while you are in need. In a time of reflection on how some people can just make things way easier for you~ Adelle, Sonnie, Gianna & Garrett & Adriana(?) Have a been SO thorough and kind. They even are providing fabulous patient consultations to assist with medication management appropriately and respectfully. I do not want to go to any other Pharmacy , ever! Thank you, team CDM for turning around my week you all are the best! read more

CDM is amazing. They are very responsive and knowledgeable. Always helpful when picking up my prescriptions. They also have cute things in the store. read more

My dermatologist Eric Sorenson recommended this pharmacy(which you can pick up your meds or they will mail priority), I have always had them mail so I have never actually been in the store. I have been using CDM for several years and they are awesome. SUNNY, has helped me with all of my prescriptions and always gets me the BEST price on all of my prescriptions. Sunny's personality reflects her name....she is always a delight, very helpful, knowledgeable, not to mention efficient! If I were any business owner I would hire her in a heartbeat! If CDM DRUGS is an option for your pharmacy I would highly recommend. My dermatologist Eric Sorenson is also amazing! Thank you Sunny and CDM for everything! DeLanie Borgman read more

This is probably my 5th time in for the rapid COVID test and they're fast, efficient and cost-effective. The gent who does the testing has great bedside manner and is always max professional. read more

CDM Drugs - Drugstores Near Me - Corona Del Mar, California

Wonderful customer service. The staff are kind and helpful. They are a step above most pharmacies.

CDM Drugs is fantastic. You rarely read a review about an outstanding experience someone had at a big chain pharmacy. Often you read how faceless and helpless people feel, especially in moments when they are nervous or scared. CDM Drugs honors a fundamental social trust between a pharmacy and patients. The team is personable and knowledgeable and will go the extra mile to ensure you are okay (you know who you are!). It's easy to find yourself lingering because of their friendliness and to explore their gorgeous space and amazing skincare line. Thank you CDM Drugs! read more

Hi, I get my COVID testing every 2wks due to a work requirement. I've been doing this for 6mos. now. It's so easy and quick to be tested at this site. Aden (tech) helps you out and is super friendly and knowledgeable. All the staff is friendly and I highly recommend this place for prompt COVID testing. Great job Everyone! read more

The owner of the pharmacy is very rude ! Good luck to get any information out of her about your prescription. By law the pharmacy is required to give you all the information about your prescription and provide consultation if you need one! She doesn't seem to care what Country she is running the business at. She is not following the FDA laws about the disclosure of the ingredients. I would not recommend to give this lady any of your business. read more

We came here for a PCR COVID test and Adel kindly greeted us as we turned into the parking lot. He was extremely friendly and gave us clear instructions on how to do the test in the car. My 75 year old mother said that he was "so nice and gave us such good instructions that it was easy". We heard horror stories from people who got tested so we were so surprised to be in and out of there within 5 minutes (literally). Make sure Adel is there if you're taking an elderly parent because he takes his time in making sure they understand exactly what they have to do and how to do it. read more

Although making an appointment was simple and quick, getting the test done was not so much. There are no signs to instruct you what to do or where to park. The girl on the phone was rude and sounded annoyed that i called to ask for clarification on whether I was in the correct area. The employee handing the test out is working alone and running around the entire parking lot. I had a scheduled time for the test but was basically treated as first come first serve, and even then was helped after people who got there later than I did. I also work in healthcare so I empathize but both people I interacted with were rude and clearly frustrated. This place could do a lot of small things to make this process easier for their staff and the people coming to get tested. read more

We had a rapid COVID test here and the whole experience was pretty painless. It was easy to make an appointment, the testing was safe and easy (tech, Adel, did an incredible job- the swap was quick and he was very kind). Their pricing was also pretty competitive (another location in Newport was 2x the price for the same test). I highly recommend this location. read more

Came for a covid test for my young child and they could not have been more supportive and helpful. My child was VERY afraid of the swab going in her nose and the med tech helped talk her through the steps to do it herself which made her feel much calmer and more in control during an out of control situation. (Shes under 5 btw) we will 100% return because of the great staff and service read more

Wonderful neighborhood independent with friendly and helpful staff. I've utilized their Covid testing services several times during the pandemic and have each time been so grateful for their easy online booking, accessibility, and friendly and helpful customer service from Aden. read more

It really does take a lot for me to leave a bad review, and I will start by saying that most of the staff here are very sweet and kind. However, that is absolutely not the case with their manager. As a front office medical professional myself, I was absolutely appalled with her lack of professionalism, to the point where I acted a bit out of character myself out of pure shock. She has no qualms about talking over you when you attempt to correct her, she is condescending at best and has no issue flaunting that she is doing well enough during a pandemic to where she does not need your business and that you can go elsewhere. After returning because my prescription had been filled incorrectly the first time and having had her argue with me about it, being scoffed at and told my insurance would not cover my prescription (mind you I had already made it clear I would pay out of pocket if that was the case), and having my prescription sent to an address where I no longer live even though she made a huge point of showing they have the correct address on file (hello HIPAA violation), and continuing to talk over me, I asked to have my prescription transferred to another pharmacy, and had to raise my voice to be heard over her. When I advised I would wait until she had done so as I did not trust her to take care of it in a timely fashion, she threatened to call the police on me. (As I was leaving, three separate people said that her actions were completely uncalled for.) After calling another pharmacy myself and my doctor's office to make circumvent this woman and make sure everything was transferred elsewhere, I learned that the other pharmacy, my doctor's office, and even my surgeon have heard many, many complaints about her. If you have no issues dealing with a condescending snob and feel free to go to this pharmacy. If you would like to be treated with any kind of competency or compassion I suggest going elsewhere. Was I mad? You bet, but how do you expect people to be when you behave like a complete elitist? Oh, and to add to that, they are unnecessarily expensive. I am now getting my medications elsewhere, with better service and for far less than what I was charged at CDM Drugs. read more

Super Friendly, Very Professional, Time Conscious! Simple Quality Pharmacy without the food and toys!

Covid testing no fun BUT Adel is a ray of sunshine making a rough situation simple. His kindness made my day. I watched as he hustled to open doors for elderly too. I felt him smiling through his mask. read more

This pharmacy is the best in Southern California - hands down. Sunny is absolutely amazing and has gone above and beyond every time I've needed a prescription. CDM has saved me time and (a lot) of money. Could not give this place higher accolades. read more

I have always received outstanding service from CDM Drugs. My prescriptions have always been filled promptly and correctly. Sunny is always pleasant and kind. She works to make sure that she can get your prescriptions at a good cost. Thanks Sunny and CDM Drugs! read more

Dr. Laleh Ford - or as I call her "L" has been my pharmacist for just over 3 YEARS now and I a Very Grateful Customer. I have a very serious back condition and have so appreciated her going out of her way to special order medications that I desperately need to have a quality of life that has made my life worth living. Forget the big box pharmacy stores - they take NO PERSONAL INTEREST in YOUR QUALITY OF LIFE! All of the CDM STAFF IS COURTEOUS, KIND and after Years of being a CDM PHARMACY CUSTOMER I SAY "THANK YOU"! If you go elsewhere you will never experience the type of Great Customer Care that this Pharmacy and it's Staff offers. Plus I never have to stand in any lines. BRAVO ! Jack read more

Staff are very nice and Adel is always been polite, and always on time in coming out for covid test.

So glad to hear that CDM Pharmacy is selling N95 masks!!! I plan to buy several and donate them to my healthcare providers. My only complaint would be the hours of operation. The store does not open until 9:30 a.m. read more

Got my covid test here super quick and the guy Adel who did the test was awesome !! He made it easy for me specifically that it was my first time thank you!!! read more

I've had more than a dozen COVID tests and CDM Drugs was the only place that wasn't hellacious. Easy to schedule same-day, gentle method that did not impale my brain, and quick results. Highly recommend! read more

Came for a rapid antigen test. Friendly and professional staff. Entire process took 14 minutes from arrival to departure.

I have been going through a really extensive time with my lung at the moment. I do not feel well at all and on top of it, this place gave me the worst customer experience I HAVE EVER HAD. The owner/pharmacist woman that answered the phone should be reported to the US Bureau of Labor and Statistics. She YELLED at me and hung up the phone. The problem is, this is the only pharmacist that sells the syringe that I need for my medical issue. She is refusing me service. Once I threatened to report her, she called back and apologized. Please do not use this pharmacy. read more

The owner of this pharmacy (( I believe her name is (ELL) is the most rudest pharmacist and disrespectful business owner I've ever met. She treats her customers as if she is doing a favor for them. I have had a few situations over the past year or so where I was taken back with her nastiness...but the last incident was the final straw. There was some difficulty with an insurance card that needed to be updated with the insurance carrier but a new card was not sent yet. All she needed to do was contact the Anthem Blue Cross to learn it was all up to date. When I began to explain I would come back in an hour after an appointment she rudely interrupted me to be quiet and not be stressed in her store. I said mam, I'm just saying that I can come back later after you verify that the insurance is valid. When I left, I called the Doctors office to ask for them to just call it into Rite Aid instead. The nurse, Carol at the Doctors office said that the owner was also very nasty to her on the phone and she had never been talked to by such a did respectful pharmacist/owner. I highly recommend to steer clear of this business. I am all for supporting smaller businesses in the community which is why I went there to begin with. However, when they treat their customers in such a horrible rude way they are not deserving of the business. read more

The level of service and attention is truly exceptional. This is a VIP experience for a pharmacy. I cannot imagine ever going to an impersonal chain pharmacy after the customer service at CDM. So glad I transferred all my prescriptions there. read more

CDM Drugs is my neighborhood pharmacy. A gem. Here, you'll find the friendliest staff, that always have smiles on their faces. Also, there is never a wait. NO WAITING. We are traveling abroad and needed last minute vaccinations (yes because I too believe in actual science and actual Tetanus, no thanks...I'll take the shot). Laleh, was very knowledgable yesterday, immediately took out her chart, asked for a brief history and I got stuck... with a needle... to prevent the Tdap and flu shots. Totally covered by insurance. Laleh did an excellent job at that, no blood, no pain. I didn't know that I could walk into a pharmacy and get shots, immediately, without even having to make a reservation or an appointment. I was even more surprised to see that by the time I was done, there was already a young girl who had been watching me and seemed not so scared and ready to go and happy to do her shots as welI. That's the effect that the friendly staff and clean, modern environment at CDM know that I can walk into a pharmacy and get shots, immediately, without even having to make a reservation or an appointment. I was even more surprised to see that by the time I was done there was already a young girl who had been watching me and now seemed a little less scared for her own vaccines. I think that's the effect that the staff and the environment at CDM drugs has on patients. It really is a great little Pharmacy. Forgot to mention, Laleh also made me a nice package of potential things I may need like pepto, tums, dulco etc. That is certainly above and beyond. 5 stars hands down. read more

I went to go get tested and the guy who got me tested was the absolute best i believe his name is Adele he was very professional and got me super comfortable thank you Adele read more

I had my covid test here plenty of times throughout the entire pandemic. It was handled very professionally and went extremely smooth. There was almost always no wait, just drive in, test and then your out in no more than 5 minutes. The gentleman handling the covid tests was very friendly and walked me through the entire process. Highly recommend! read more

Owner is very condescending and outright rude! I will not go back!! Too bad there's not a lest that ")" score!

Lana Perkins just now I came to pick up my prescription numbing cream that was compounded by the pharmacy. I was given the cream but there were no ingredients listed. I asked the pharmacy person about the list of ingredients because I am allergic to some preservatives that are used in some creams and cosmetic products. The person couldn't give it to me and called I believe the Lady that is the "owner"of this pharmacy. She refused to give me the list of ingredients even after I told her that I need to know because I am allergic to some ingredients. I said that I believe it's a law to list the ingredients because of the allergies issues. She was very rude and said if I don't like it to go somewhere else. She said that The ingredients are proprietary and she is not gonna disclose what they are. I couldn't understand why. I told her I have no intentions to make a numbing cream and I believe it's FDA requirement to list both active and inactive ingredients. I couldn't not believe how rude this Lady was. This is United States and this is a pharmacy where people should feel safe to be able to use what they are prescribed . I had to report this pharmacy for bad business practices. Would not recommend to go there. Take your business somewhere else. I am so upset especially knowing They charged me whopping $80 for a tiny jar of numbing cream. Complete rip off! No wonder they don't want you to know what the ingredients are read more

Great pharmacy! Sunny is the best, always friendly on the phone and she gets my order mailed out quickly. Switching to CDM Drugs from a big pharmacy was a refreshing change. CDM Drugs knows what they're doing, has very good prices, and is very knowledgable when working with insurance companies. I highly recommend them. read more

This place is awesome. My doctor recommended this place to me and they're level of customer service is by far the best. I would recommend them to anyone who needs their prescriptions refilled or ordered. They offer free delivery as well. read more

I was extremely impressed at how they handle their Covid testing. While we are experiencing a post holiday surge, it is extremely difficult to get a Covid test without a long wait and usually a couple of days advance scheduling. I tried several places. Eastbluff Urgent Care has people standing in the rain waiting for Covid tests (not in their cars). This is for a rapid test that is approximately 75% accurate. The line was approximately 1 hr long. Marque is a little better, but they are roughly 45 minutes behind schedule and you must have a virtual nurse appointment. You cannot get in line until you have this appointment. I did not get a call until 45 minutes after my appointment time. This is not a repid test. Rapid tests are $60 with insurance. CDM Drugs, scheduled my appointment for the next day. I was in/out in 5 minutes. No wait, no line, no prescreening. Great friendly service, free! This is not a rapid test. Results in a couple of days via email. read more

This place was amazing. Stopped by Christmas frenzy for my husbands prescription. They were going to be closing in a couple of hours and I was nervous it wouldn't be ready and then close bc of my experiences at a different local pharmacy. They assured me they would get it to me and they were true to their word. Above and beyond. We are so grateful!!! Picked up a great candle and some curious melatonin sleep patches, too!! read more

The Indian lady (she refused to give her name because she did not want to be named she had some type of Indian sounding accent) answering the phone was so disrespectful and rude and hung up the phone and me two times she should be fired. I've never experienced such awful customer service. I was calling to see if a my prescription would be in stock she mocked me and did not let me speak or ask any questions and kept slamming the phone and I called and asked to speak to another person and she refused to and hung up the phone. I really hope the head of the store sees this and contacts me the phone calls are all recorded. I am not exaggerating that she was one of the most rudest ladys I've talked to I was so shocked. read more
