Friday, April 17, 2026 Just now had the delivery of a prescription from Fireside Pharmacy. This is one of the greatest businesses in the desert - IMHO. So great to see how busy they are - I have not been in there for a while, they have been delivering the prescriptions. It's amazing, just call and press the buttons and it works out better to let it go to "the system" and then they get it all filled and on the way. It's "old fashioned" service but I am sure Yemi and his staff are utilizing every technological means available to keep things going smoothly. I really appreciate it! read more

great place very attentive. As a new patient I appreciate that, meds were ready expediently

Very busy.... But I was able to pick up my meds easily... girls at the front desk were efficient....parking in front is tough but plenty of spaces in the back... Call in refills... makes pick up easy... read more

Fireside Pharmacy - Growing since I've been here - Pharmacy Near Me - Palm Desert, California

Today 5/15/26 I picked up a 2oz compound RX. Yesterday the pharmacist told me it was good for 21 days. When I got home with the compound RX it saids the end date for this RX is 5/20/26. The sate it was made is 4/14/26. I immediately called the pharmacist and now it tells me it is good for 6 months. I received two different answers from the same pharmacist. I would never deal with them again. I am afraid to use this $118 cream past 5/20/26. read more

Amazing customer service. Only took them 10 minutes or so to fill my husband's 3 prescriptions. So much better than the big name pharmacies. So nice to be able to talk to someone! We will definitely be back! read more

We have been using Fireside for many years for our compound medications. Everyone is very friendly and Barbara does a great job on making sure our deliveries are sent out. Also, Olivia, our personal Fireside employee is outstanding. We so appreciate being able to talk with her and re-order our scripts. she does a great job! And a special thank you to Chris who gets out our deliveries right to our door! Thank you all. read more

Olivia is always very helpful. The staff is great too very welcoming. I've been going there for over 3 yrs.

Just needed to commend the wonderful pharmacy staff for their kindness every time I visit. They remember my name (and my husband's, too) and I appreciate the personalized service Fireside Pharmacy provides. read more

I've got to say I'm disappointed. I lived in Houston and received my tri-mix medication from a local compounding pharmacy and was so impressed with HOW the medication was provided. Because of how HOT the climate was in Houston, the vials were provided in powder form and once received, we added the water and THEN the refrigeration was needed. I'm 120 degree weather, I'm handed an already prepared vial and I mini ice pac that's tossed in the bag and, not even fully frozen. It was thawed before I got home to Cat City. Come on Fireside! You can do better. Then that gets me to what you sent me home with. You put the liquid in a 5ml vial that was MAYBE 1/2 full... And for what you charge I used to get a large vial in TX. And they KNEW I needed syringes and alcohol wipes. You had to ASK at the counter? No discretion, nothing... The whole process just seemed unsettling and dirty. You included a QR code in the bag to provide a Google review that's not even valid! Was that by design? I just would like the whole process retooled. Let us reconstitute at home. Have a nice package all ready and prepared with the powder and water vials added upon arrival and send us off. Your process and lack of discretion is making me hunt for on line alternatives who seem to have a greater attention to detail and privacy practices in place. But should you agree and make changes, please DO LET ME KNOW. I prefer to do business with local businesses. Thank you read more

Great service! Olivia was very thorough, explained well the dosage and sequence and so forth.

I absolutely love this Pharmacy they are always so helpful I've always had a good experience here I've been getting one my Perscription here for over a year I'm very thankful for Fireside Pharmacy care read more

I work in the healthcare field and my bio identical hormones were called into this pharmacy. 20 plus years ago this pharmacy was stellar. Now it is borderline dangerous. When filling my bio identical hormones that were to be straightforward hormones the pharmacist took upon themselves to add DHEA, melatonin , l Theanine and GABAPENTIN to my prescriptions. NONE of what was asked for by my provider. I had a TERRIBLE reaction to all of the added compounds the pharmacist took it upon themself to add. When I spoke to the pharmacist and shred the reaction ( server times) they dismissed my reaction and refused to make it correct. An important note is that Gabapentin is a prescription pharmaceutical with huge side effects. Initially I was told they added " gaba" which is a natural supplement, then learned it was Gabapentin. DO NOT TRUST THIS PHARMACY. AND IF YOU DO USE THEM PLEASE TRIPLE CHECK WHAT THEY PRESCRIBE TO YOU!!!! read more

My doctor prescribed a compound mixture sent to Eisenhower hospital, so the doctor could give instruction how to inject the medicine once i received the medication so the next day when i was going to use the medication i discovered there was no medicine in the vile. So, have tried for a week now to talk the pharmacist and haven't yet returned my call. i very disappointed and angry at this point. i guess when they get their money they care about customer service. Once i finally resolve this issue i will find another pharmacy for medication. read more

I had a prescription filled here and went in to pick it up, once I left I realized they filled it for the wrong mg's. I called immediately, as the script was expensive and notified them of their error. They told me to bring it back the following business day and they would refund me. When I went back, they said they couldn't because it left the pharmacy. While I understand that if it was my mistake, the fill was in their error and they should have eaten the cost. I'll be moving my business to Ambrosia and advising my holistic doctor to suggest another vendor to their patients. read more

We get a compounded Rx for our dog. They are so amazing and helpful. We love this place. Never had a problem, and Rx is ready when promised every time! Thanks read more

Olivia is wonderful . Always patient and helpful. I have sometimes had problems with refills, everything was eventually resolved.

I need to bring your attention to Fireside Compounding Pharmacy... Palm Desert!! They have been "OUTSTANDING" with their organization of deliveries ..... through (multiple locations) I've needed to receive my medication. Even out of state!! They have further educated myself and caretaker with regards to shelf life and symptoms if I were to have any! (Sophie) ... she has been on the spot!! Thorough!! Detailed!! Polite!! and organized....hats off to you Fireside!! Sophie has given me hope in customer service once again thank you SOOOO much Jon L read more

Fireside compounds prescriptions for dogs. Based upon my experience, do not trust in their competence. They recently made changes to my dog's prescription that caused him to experience the same symptoms he was being treated for. After two courses of antibiotics, I finally realized there might be something wrong with the medication. My vet recommended trying Wedgewood pharmacy and, after only one dose, he was markedly better. Wedgewood is mail order, which is not as simple as using a local pharmacy, but I received the new medication within 3 days and the ordering process was very simple. read more

Excellent staff. I'm prescribed a controlled substance that must be submitted as a new script each month (versus refills). Until I moved to Fireside, it was a hassle. Fireside works with me and is sure to order the medication in anticipation of my new monthly prescription. With other pharmacies, I experienced a lag time. One time the Pharmacist actually spoke to my Doctor when there was a shortage of my medication, so they could substitute an appropriate in-stock medication in a timely fashion. Another time, they coordinated with each other and me (what documents I had to provide) to authorize an early fill of the controlled drug prior to travel. I couldn't ask for more caring, personalized service. Now, I only use Fireside for all my prescriptions, even though my insurance pushes me to use their mail order service. It feels good to support a local independent pharmacy - especially now that the insurance companies have purchased conglomerate pharmacies and are trying to put the "mom and pop" pharmacies out of business. read more

Horrible business practice and it starts with the owner. Our insurance changed how they billed our prescriptions and he decided he would no longer bill our insurance and instead would require us to pay out of pocket. When questioned about why he would not bill our insurance anymore he became irate and began yelling. He has no concern for patients or his business. read more

Olivia and the rest of the Fireside staff helped me expedite an Rx that my doctor's office was dragging its feet on. Very helpful, quick to answer calls and respond to emails and my Rx was finally renewed. In fact all my interactions with Fireside have been great, staff is very responsive to special requests! read more

Fireside is always a great place for your compound pharmacy needs. They have helping me through my cancer treatments as well as my daily supplements to maintain a healthy life.

I have had long Covid for over a year and a half. One of my doctors at UCLA's long Covid clinic prescribed a compounded medication. She sent the prescription to Fireside Pharmacy and I was somehow worried that it was going to be a problem to get the medication because of the reviews I read. I was shock and amazed of how professional and diligent the pharmacy staff is. As soon as they received the prescription they call me to tell me that the medication was ready. All of the staff couldn't be nicer and professional. I wish all pharmacies would treat me the way I was treated at Fireside Pharmacy. I will continue to get my medications from them and I will recommend it to my family and friends. Good job. Thanks for all of your help. read more

I had two generic prescriptions for pick up and they told me they wouldn't fill them and they wouldn't help me send the prescriptions over to a different pharmacy. I would not recommend trying to get a prescription picked up here read more

This pharmacy is the best I've ever used. Pleasant staff and pharmacist. They have helped me in many ways of my health. I'm healthy now than in the past. Thank you, Sherry Mesa read more

My experience was, that I spent a lot of money, and was told after a month I would see results on the concerns I had. 3 months later, nothing has changed. Very over priced on the care you receive. read more

Waste of time and not worth the money. Not even worth one star. TLDR; They started asking for credit card info & charging before making the prescription. Then was told it was ready for pickup so went to pick it up....IT WASN'T EVEN MADE. I've been using this pharmacy for the last few years for my dog's prescription eye drops and I've always paid in store once it was ready for pickup. In the past, my mother's phone number was used to notify us when the prescription was ready but she is not reliable with reminders so I've REPEATEDLY provided my phone number as the point of contact. Every time I've called about the prescription, I'd still have to remind the staff to specifically call my phone number instead but the voicemail and text message continuously ended up on my mom's phone and these type of small things don't ever bother me. Until now. Yesterday, they said they needed my credit card info in order to fill the prescription *and then* the pharmacist would start making it. Apparently, they've had issues with other customers not picking up their medication so now they charge before making anything. I don't know when this started to become a policy and I should've listened to my gut that this was not going to work out but I gave my credit card info anyway cuz my dog needs his medication. I waited all day for a phone call from Fireside but never received one at all. Lo and behold, my mom texted me (late in the evening when they're already closed) that she had a voicemail from them saying the medication was ready for pick up. But when I went to pick it up this morning, IT DIDN'T EVEN EXIST. They hadn't even made the eye drops at all and the payment was already processed on my credit card! So are people really forgetting to pick up their medication or is it the staff's own incompetence and carelessness?! It takes a lot to disappoint me. I work in service so I'm usually understanding and I would rather not raise hell. But the incompetence speaks for itself. This place has always been underwhelming and they just further proved that they are a waste of time and money. Luckily, my vet has recommended another compounding pharmacy to replace this mess. read more

Hands down best experience with any and all other pharmacies. Always a hello, no waiting in line and no mistakes! Let's all support small businesses read more

My doctor faxed in my prescription to Fireside Pharmacy after my visit. I called them to verify my prescription and they told me that my prescription will be ready in 10-15 minutes. As I get there, I was greeted by Kris. She is very professional, did not waste any time in getting my prescription expedited. She was very friendly and helpful and she went above and beyond by making sure that one of my prescription stayed cold until I got home. Jane answered some of my questions. I was in and out in 5 minutes. Thank you Kris, Jane, and staff. Great service and friendly staff! read more

See all

Great staff and a convenient location in palm desert. Very friendly and kind pharmacists.

Fireside is brimming with staff however they are not very organized. They need a better system for customer service. For instance, I was asked if I would like a text when my order was ready. I said yes, and waited 3 days and nothing. When I called, the order had been ready, but no text. I asked then for my meds to be delivered - this was 9 a.m. - I had been out for 2 days and couldn't make it for pickup. I waited till 3 and still no meds. I called again and was told they were out for delivery by 5:30 p.m. At 5:30 I reached out to the driver and he said he couldn't make it, and I would have them by 10 a.m. the following day. Still no meds by noon. They finally arrived around 1. This is frustrating because when I run out I don't feel great, and it's best to keep my levels stable. If Fireside could just adopt an automated communication system ( this is 2024!) via text messaging it would save them and their clients oodles of frustration, and diminished jamming of their phone lines. Everyone would be much happier. How's this: the pharmacist completes the order, then hits a button on his/her computer and a text is generated - or an automated phone call. Prior to the driver leaving he/she texts the list of customers with a 4 hour window saying the order is on its way. Fewer follow up call and holds, and looking for orders, and chaos. Easy peazy. Systems are a great thing people. read more

Exceptional. Fast and courteous service! I recommend them to everyone. They even deliver at no cost

They may be more expensive for cash customers (or customers who get medications j no or covered by insurance), but they're worth it. I can call them up for a refill of a compounded medication I use and instead of having to wait a week, they usually have it within a few hours. They also deliver (although I don't think they come as far as I am. read more

The absolute best! A special shout-out to Eddie who is always so kind and helpful. Everyone there goes above and beyond. I was struggling with hormonal imbalance (starting the dreaded life change that women go through) and the bioidentical regime they crafted for me has made me feel human again. Just a top-notch group of people. Five stars all the way. read more
