on July 24 my doctor called in a prescription for clindamycin. I went to the pharmacy and they said…read moreit isn't ready yet. Come back later. We came back later and she said there's not enough in stock so we have to order it and it can take a couple of days. I asked, why can't you borrow it from the Chester CVS because when I was a pharmacy technician we could borrow it from our sister stores. they said it takes a couple days ma'am will call you. being that I had a raging infection and I didn't want it to spread in my upper arm or wrist. I called the store manager to get through because otherwise you cannot.. I made the complaint that why can't they borrow it from another sister store or call my doctor and ask for a replacement of another sort. The pharmacist finally got on the phone., Live and said, we can give you smaller doses to replace the one big dose for your daily needs and I asked why didn't they tell me this yesterday? she said well I don't understand why they didn't offer that to you. I did not work yesterday. This is a matter of seriousness because I could lose my hand so within an hour they gave me smaller doses. The robotic system called, says your prescription is ready you can pick it up so I believed it yesterday and it was not complete because it was not in stock. Miscommunication is a very bad thing in this business. . I was a pharmacy technician and I know the seriousness and we would always borrow from another pharmacy or sister store there is no reason why any drug stores should be out of stock for a simple common antibiotic the pharmacist apologized and it was great to get through to speak to the pharmacist when I called the store manager. If you rely on them to call you back in a timely manner, you have to wait till the end of the day. I had a lot of pain, suffering, and swelling for the past two days without having the antibiotic. I find communication very poor you cannot get through to the pharmacist, directly or the staff you must leave a voicemail and I could not drive to go and personally I had to send somebody but they do take my insurance and the manager did get me to the pharmacy so at least I'm grateful for that. in the picture, you will see my swollen hand. I could not use it cannot drive cannot function. I needed the antibiotic as soon as possible Before it spread.

I witnessed the pharmacist making a racist comment about a customer who asked if she spoke Spanish…read more She didn't think anyone noticed, but I did. I couldn't help translate for the customer because he left quickly after she told him no. I didn't confront her or report her at the time because I don't like confrontation so I decided to leave this review instead. I will file a complaint with corporate regarding the situation because her behavior made me very uncomfortable as a Hispanic person myself, and she shouldn't be working there. She is an older white woman with blonde/gray hair and it happened on 2/19/26 at 8:43pm. I don't expect anything to be done about it because it's her word against mine, but what goes around comes around and justice will find its way to her. I find it unacceptable that people have to deal with that kind of nonsense this day and age, but here we are. I won't be coming to this location anymore.

I had no idea that this pharmacy charged me $95 for a medication that my insurance said was a $30…read morecopay! When I called Monroe Pharmacy to complain, and asked for a reimbursement, they explained that the reason for this was that they do not get the manufacturer's discount that larger chain type pharmacies (CVS and Walgreens) get. I wish they would have been transparent all along and told me that I would be paying more with them as a result, $65 more. I cannot afford to pay more than my insurance copay. Also, I want to feel safe and trust the pharmacy I do business with. Now, I understand that it's important to shop around and make sure the pharmacy you choose is offering you the best price in accordance to your insurance and neighboring pharmacies. Going forward I will call my insurance to ask what the copay is for each medication to make sure I'm not overpaying. Very disappointed and truly felt taken

Quick & friendly service. Very helpful staff & Pharmacists…read more Central Valley Pharmacy also has much quicker service than at any of the chain stores! It's not even close, they do the same work in a fraction of the time at the same cost. I'd go out of my way to go to CV Pharmacy. They're excellent as a Pharmacy and store. Central Valley Pharmacy, aside from being a great Pharmacy, I find they also have a lot of everyday items, deodorant, toothpaste, Q-Tips, etc, priced competitively with any of the chain stores like Walgreens or CVS. They also have a Hallmark Birthday/Anniversary/Get Well Soon, etc cards & I find all of this extremely convenient. (Big family, always a Card to send.) The staff & Pharmacists are always friendly, courteous & prompt. I've never had to wait more than a few minutes to checkout. It's almost a pleasure, which is why I am giving them 5 Stars. Hands down the Best Pharmacy, with the best staff around!

Signing up for the rewards program is easy and offers up many discounts, we saved about 1/6th of our bill this way. Money is money. I'm not sure if they double coupons like their competitor ShopRite. They offer a variety of fresh produce and organic foods. I personally felt the meat department was lacking.. BUT I was reminded it was the END of the night.. oh yeah heh *blush*. So we'll have to try that again when it's daylight. They also have a floral area and I think a Pharmacy. The isles are wide enough without being huge. And all of the staff is very helpful if you seek assistance. I'm not yet sure which grocery store will be my store of choice but we shall see in the future =) Oh and a tip, at the end of the night the left door (facing the building) is locked so you probably want to park near the other door, especially if it's raining.
