    I come here too often... *hack cough* ugh.
    Raymond L.

    El Monte Pharmacy is one of the quickest places you could drop off your prescription and pick up your medications. As a business, El Monte Pharmacy does the community good as well by taking on a LOT of interns from UEI, ACC, nearby adult schools, etc offering Pharmacy Technician programs that require an externship. But don't worry, the staff of permanent pharmacy technicians and pharmacists are always watching and making sure everything is done correctly and swiftly. Pick a language, they speak it. But you have to pick from one of these: English, Spanish, Cantonese, Mandarin, Vietnamese, other languages that are unintelligible to my untrained, albeit quite large (sad face...) ears. They will fill your prescription very quickly 90% of the time -- the pharmacy itself is very spacious, so they should have all of the most commonly prescribed drugs on hand. On rare occasions, you will have to come back as they will need to order a drug for you. And if you're here, why not stop by Ocean Bo Dim Sum in the same plaza just across the parking lot? You might be sick, but that wouldn't stop you from eating good food now, would it? :)

    I have lived around the Neighborhood. In recent years (talking about more than 2 years), I have…read morevisited here more frequently. The location is convenient with special holiday deals. The services aren't the best but the employees try to do the best. It was two days ago, I had encountered a problem with the check out station. I checked myself out everything smoothly! After I made the payment, the employee who assisted the lady at the self check out station next to mine made a mistake. He scanned her coke with his hand held device, but the device had my station number on it. My transaction couldn't complete with the receipt printed out. He didn't even notice the problem until I told him the coke transaction had added to my transaction. He did apologize and tried to fix the problem - which was to restart the machine and redo the whole transaction! I was held up for another 20 mins for all restart matters when the machine took another 10 mins to be back to normal. He ended up seeing my transaction could not complete with the machine that he would need to direct me to his supervisor at the checkout counter. The supervisor didn't know what to do, so she ended up honor my transaction. When I filled out the company survey online, I did request the store should have more employees doing the real transaction than having the checkout machines.. however, please have your employees train for professional work with customer service manner! As a long time customer, I'm so fed up to have all these encounters after a driving trip with extra 30 mins spent in the shop. A customer is here to make a purchase, not a tester of your employees' work quality! Please do not have a rude supervisor or employees who doesn't/don't know the company policies to take a work shift!

    This is the worst CVS pharmacy drive thru…read more Went to the drive thru pharmacy. The associate at the window was just not on top of it and wasn't helpful at all. Told us to come back for my brother, which we did, and came back. Arrived at the window with no acknowledgement from the pharmacy tech who was standing by the window and gossiping with her coworker. We could hear her talking thru the mic talking crap about someone until I said hello. I had to get her attention and ask her if his prescription was ready. After asking for his info, she grabbed his items through it into the window drawer and walked away. Worst customer service ever and gives CVS a bad name. Do people not need their jobs??? If you hate your job, then find a different career!

    Horrible pharmacy. I always run into issues here with lack…read moreof service from the pharmacy. It's currently 2:10pm, they were supposed to be open at 2 o'clock yet they have the curtain shade down over the window so you can't even see inside or ask anyone for help in the drive-through pharmacy. There is a seven car line already built up as everyone has been here since before 2 PM waiting for the pharmacy to open back up after their late lunch. Currently have been waiting for over 10 minutes after their opening time with a screaming baby in the car. Not the first time with this issue, it's often. Truly terrible. Came back and the person at the window did not want to do his job or help at all. I think his name is Adan. He first said my prescription for a very generic, routine medication would be $183 because insurance won't cover it. That couldn't be possible so I questioned him. Turns out they didn't have my insurance on file, not sure why that wasn't mentioned first. So I gave the insurance card. Was told it was inactive, which also isn't possible because it is active and my husband used it for the same medication earlier in the week. He tried to turn me away or make me pay out of pocket. To which I said no, you need to contact the insurance and provide service. He said "you need to call", to which I very politely asked "isn't that your job?" I am a nurse myself, it is part of their job. If I go home and call and the come back, it's the same thing as my just telling them the insurance is active and them ignoring me. It's not the same as them calling insurance and verifying so they can render services. Which is what they are supposed to do. Anyways the worker told me to get out of line and get back into it again, wait through 8 cars of other people being serviced first, instead of finishing my transaction. I questioned this, so he finally agreed to have me pull over. After 8 ppl being serviced while I waited I walked up to the window where he told me he never called. The male pharmacist with glasses gave me the same runaround. I had to wait through 6 lines with a screaming baby to get help. I went inside, didn't tell them what was going on and just said trying to fill a prescription as a test. Finally Minlan provided incredible service, called the insurance without me even asking, and solved the whole issue in less than 5 mins. After my spending an hour there due to no other staff wanting to do their jobs. No one should have to wait in 6 lines, with a crying and screaming baby, being constantly shrugged off, while staff refuses do their jobs. I am transferring all my prescriptions to another pharmacy immediately. No wonder they have SO MANY people working inside, it's because no one is actually doing their jobs. This is the LAZIEST staff I have ever encountered in my lifetime. I plan on filing a complaint.
