I have been a customer of McCarthy Pharmacy for 20 years now. I couldn't be happier with their excellent standards of care. My meds are delivered to me on time each month, without a hitch, and the drivers are always courteous and pleasant. One of the best things about McCarthy, is their pharmacist, Marty. He has always treated me more like a long-time friend, than a customer. When I call to speak with him, I'm never put on hold. Marty immediately answers, expresses how happy he is to hear from me, and makes me feel special. In the early 2000's Marty threw wonderful winter holiday parties for members of my specialty health clinic, at Sportsman's Lodge. There would be live music and catered multi-course meals -- all in a beautiful and festive setting. It takes a special person to devote so much of their time and money into making so many people happy, whether they were his patients or not. Most of the patients at my clinic do use McCarthy Pharmacy, though, for the reasons I've mentioned. Living with chronic health conditions can be difficult and challenging, but Marty and McCarthy have done so much to make things easier for me by handling all my prescription medication issues in the best possible way. read more

This pharmacy sucks. They don't return off-the-counter products that are ineffective and don't work.

Welcome to Brentwood, McCarthy Pharmacy! You have quickly become my trusted neighborhood pharmacy and I love the ability to connect directly with the amazing pharmacist. Everyone here is so helpful, caring and professional! A+++ read more

why anyone would stand online at walgreens or CVS, where you are just a number, instead of using mccarthy pharmacy is beyond me. i used to be able to walk down the block to pick up my medication when they were in ocean park for decades. now drive up to brentwood instead, even though there are many more pharmacies in my neighborhood i could have switched to. fast, professional, and personal (they know their regular customers), i never worry about them having / getting my prescription right. the prices are comparable to the big chains and i prefer dealing with local people who know me. read more

So great they finally opened in this location. Friendly staff, prompt service. Parking adjacent to Vicente Foods!!!!

I've been going to McCarthy Pharmacy to pick up my prescriptions for years. Mordechai always puts my health needs first and treats me with so much kindness. The staff is also very helpful and the pharmacy is extremely organized. read more

I have had very pleasant experiences in this pharmacy. This is one of the few pharmacies left in town that has a consistent staff and most of all the pharmacist knows his craft. Every time I've gone in it's the same pharmacist and he is so intelligent and helpful. He takes his time with me and makes sure I've had any questions answered. Good old-fashioned customer service. Such a refreshing experience. Also each time I've gone in there, I've been in and out within 10 minutes. The parking is abundant and this place is just so thorough, convenient and pleasant. Glad we have them. read more

We have been using McCarthy Drugs for a very long time now. This small and friendly drug store reminds me of what going to the pharmacy was like when I was a kid. They may not have every size of Mylanta and they may not sell potato chips, but they are a genuine, down-to-earth, real drug store, with a real pharmacist who talks to you and is concerned about your health. They take my insurance, so they probably take yours. And they call you up! When was the last time a chain called you to let you know they got your order? Help keep them around and bring your prescriptions here and while you are here picking them up, buy your other drug store items from them too. Make sure we have a neighborhood drug store in the future. read more

I love McCarthy pharmacy! How often do you that about rite aid or one of those huge conglomerates? McCarthy treats me like the human I am, not some number! Their home delivery service is immaculate and timely. I suggest you transfer all of your scrips here! You will not regret it. read more

McCarthy Pharmacy has excellent customer service and get your prescription out to their customers on time.. Maria has been delivering my prescription on time and is always on time!! I'M a value customer and will continue to use this pharmacy. read more

McCarthy Pharmacy is a pharmacy that stands above the rest when it comes to providing great and efficient service. Not only do they deliver your medications directly to one's house. Marty and his staff members are always eager to go out of their way to make your experience pleasant and hassle-free. If anyone is on the fence or seeking a new pharmacy to fill their prescriptions, I highly recommend McCarthy Pharmacy. I have been with them for more than ten years and have yet to be disappointed.

I've been going to McCarthy Pharmacy for almost ten years now. The staff is always pleasant and the main pharmacist is the sweetest man. I no longer live in the Santa Monica area and I still travel to this pharmacy because they are that good! read more

I highly recommend McCarthy pharmacy. The pharmacist Mordecai is very helpful and the staff is great. It's such a relief to just call in your refill and not wait on hold for a long time or have to punch a bunch of numbers. If there are any problems with your prescriptions, McCarthy has answers. Great location in Santa Monica at Ocean Park Blvd and Lincoln Blvd-huge lot and you can always run in for groceries at Gelson's. Never a long wait line at pick up. You do have to be mindful of their hours as they are not open late at night like the big chains. The tradeoff is well worth it. read more

I found out why they continue to OVERSEND my perscriptions my Dr said because of the $$$$ They receive & bill the insurance for.

Very very rude, man pharmacist is telling me which clinic I should go see so he can get prescription easier. Man is very hyper every time. Hope he go check his heart condition. Rude, unfriendly phone manner, too. read more

McCarthy Pharmacy: Is fabulous. I have been using them for all of my prescriptions for at least 10 + years. Have called Marty for advice and information on new drugs that have been prescribed for me. The best part is that I can count on my prescriptions to be sent out to me on a regular basis. Maria always contacts me before she makes delivery. Works with my schedule to make sure that I am at home. Has offered to come back after another delivery. Maria is very reliable, always pleasant, always a smile when she comes to make a delivery. Have always been able to forward scripts for refill or new via email to Marty and always gets included with next delivery. Very helpful all of the time. The staff is always helpful and efficient. Maria is a gem! Jesse J. read more

I love this Pharmacy! Marty and his staff are wonderful people. I get my meds delivered monthly or when needed and I have no problems with the deliveries. read more

We've been going to McCarthy pharmacy for several years and wouldn't dream of using any other pharmacy. Marty and his staff are a true neighborhood pharmacy where they know you by name and take as good of care of you as they would their own family. From the very start, they were friendly and instrumental on sorting out some complicated paperwork on some high-end medication that I would never have figured out were it not for them. McCarthy pharmacy is the best pharmacy you'll ever find. read more

I've been with these people for about 18 years. I have come to realize how good they are at what they do. They have been helpful and patient with me (I'm not always the easiest customer) and have gone the extra mile many times. They have also understood and explained how Dr.'s office staffs mess things up and how to fix a problem re: insurance etc. One time they made a mistake and were quick to fix the problem when it was pointed out. I switched to a mail-order pharmacy one time for about three months and ended up so confused and so often without my meds being delivered on time that I switched back to McCarthy Pharmacy and I'm much happier calling in and then going in to pick up. A great Santa Monica business (there are still a few.....) read more

Truly a Good Neighbor Pharmacy. Marty and friends have been taking care of my needs two years now. Even though I have multiple options closer to home I trust this place with my life. Nice easy parking too. read more

I have been a customer for 10 years and the care, concern and service Marty gives is unmatched; so much so, that I refuse to patronize any other Pharmacy. I think Marty and his team has spoiled me. :-) read more

I've been going to McCarthy Pharmacy for more than 10 years, and they are always friendly and efficient. Everytime I have a prescription to call in or pick up, I am so grateful I don't have to deal with one of the large chains. Our neighborhood is lucky to have McCarthy Pharmacy. read more

I have been using McCarthy pharmacy for over fourteen years, since 2007. Although they are not "next-door", they do provide "next-door" type service, with free delivery and very personalized, "old fashioned" service. When I moved to the area 14 years ago, I tried the local, chain pharmacies. CVS was the worst, despite being open late, they were always too busy and rarely treated me like a person. Once I heard a pharmacy supervisor telling a doctor's office off, over the phone. I asked to speak with her, to tell her that I thought that it was both inappropriate the way I heard her talk on the phone to them, and near the counter where other customers could also her her foul language. She told me off, and that I only heard one side of the conversation. I tried, to no avail, to tell her that even hearing one side, it was still inappropriate. Then I tried Walgreens. Their pharmacy system would call to tell me that my medication would be available at 4:00 PM, even when I showed up hours later at 7:00 or 8:00 PM, it would not be ready and I'd be asked to wait another 30 - 40 minutes. Once they lost a triplicate prescription that they could not fill. The regular pharmacist was on vacation for over 2 weeks, and no one knew where to find it, till the regular pharmacist was back. It turns out, ALL the prescriptions were in a large drawer, under the counter at the drop off window, directly in front of anyone helping you. Really??? Then there is Rite Aid, which is better, and Mr. Greenly, who recently passed away, would do his best to help, but was often over worked, and understaffed. If he was not on duty, or at lunch, I'd often have to come back another day. But, with McCarthy Pharmacy, I have NEVER had any problems or issues in all these years. They even deliver. Marty, the main pharmacist, always takes care of filling out any paperwork for prior-authorizations between my doctor's office and the insurance company. I only know he has done it, when I get an automated phone call from Express-Scripts, telling me that it was approved. Marty works well with all my doctors; they often comment that they wish other pharmacists were more like him and things would be so much easier. Marty also makes things extremely easy for me, he often makes calls himself to me, reminding me that my new prescriptions for the month are ready and asks when I would like them delivered. Marty is always extremely polite, pleasant and accommodating, both on the phone, or if I am in the area and happen to stop in. Marty & McCarthy have always provided me with "personalized", kind, very caring service, and know me. I don't feel like "just another customer" with them, they know me and know me by name. I am 65 years old, with several medical complications, some of which i have had for years, including a compound cervical fracture that was fused incorrectly, which necessitated it being chiseled out and redone a year later, leaving me with permanent nerve damage and spinal problems. I have never had such a great pharmacy and pharmacist in my life. I don't know what I would do without Marty & McCarthy Pharmacy. They make my medically complicated life, so much easier to deal with. read more

I love this Pharmacy and their service. Very friendly group of people. Marty, Christy, Maria....good job guys! Ample parking area.

McCarthy Pharmacy is the best! They all was make sure I get my medicine no matter where I'm at in the city..... very friendly and work with any situation. Thank you all for your service. -Michael read more

The best pharmacy ever! The pharmacist is so friendly and helpful and very knowledgeable. I was struggling with a cold sore on my lip. He saved my life by giving me a medication that within a day completely cleared my lip. He is very caring and professional and even called me the next day to check on me. I found a pharmacist for life. read more

Super helpful, knowledgeable , and always friendly. Everything that's missing from the big faceless pharmacy stores. read more

Honestly, not impressed with McCarthy's. Not very friendly staff in person or on the phone. Did not follow up with me to update me on my prescription status -- glad I didn't need it that badly! For a local mom and pop shop, you'd think they be more cordial. Oh well, I'll give my business to CVS :/ read more

Simple, to-the-point, and they have a lot of elderly customers that come in there which to me seems to attest to their staying ability. They are on a first-name basis with the elder customers, which also gives it a 'mom and pop' type feel. Completely different than any Walgreen's or Rite Aid where I have ever filled my prescriptions. The younger help is not always as eager, but they are working on it...For as long as I am in the area, I will get all of my prescription work done here. read more

Not great experience...spoke with pharmacist who was rushed (understandable) but was also impatient and discourteous . He told me up "be more specific" with any questions the next time I phoned . I'm a medical social worker.....would have to say this fellow does not have good bed-side manner. This will be unfortunate for any seniors that may be intimidated by this man's curtness and may not reach out for assistance in the future, if/when needed. read more

I love Mc Carthy Pharmacy! I don't say that lightly. The relationship started with many question and concern. They have proven themselves time and time again. I receive many many medications and the staff are always helpful. They don't just hear my problems they find solutions! Marty and all the staff are knowledgable, loving and a blessing. I recommend their service 100%!! Let them help you be well! Thank you! read more

Best pharmacy anywhere! Personalized service, no waits, easy to deal with insurance and most honestly ran business ever. Will never go to a big chain pharmacy again. This is a truly outstanding local business I've been using for years and have NEVER had a bad experience, mix up with meds or insurance and cannot recommend them highly enough. Make the switch and once you experience the personalized service, no waits, hassles and trusted advice on meds - you will be a customer for life! Thanks McCarthy Pharmacy - you guys are awesome! read more

I have been coming to this pharmacy for 5 years now and I cannot speak highly enough of the dedication Marty has for his clients. This pharmacy has helped me navigate complex health plans and when uninsured helped me get medications I needed through various programs to help the uninsured. Now that I have insurance and expensive copy as - Marty even found a coupon for me to help offset those costs. With all that is wrong with the healthcare system it is good to know there are still great pharmacists like Marty at McCarthy's pharmacy who are about people and treat you like a real human being - not a prescription number. Thanks Marty! read more

Amazing pharmacy! They are always friendly and so incredibly helpful. Marty is the man and a lifesaver!

Was starting to feel sick yesterday, today I am not! Thanks for your recommendations McCarthy!

McCarthy Pharmacy is undoubtedly the most compassionate and professional pharmacy in LA if not the universe! Marty and his entire staff are always understanding, helpful and work hard to help people when they need medication to get better. They understand how to communicate with doctors and the complex nuances of health plans and insurance companies too. I've been well taken care of for a long time because they understand me and the medications I need to be healthy and get better when I'm not well. Marty especially works hard all the time and is genuinely enthusiastic, understanding and always helps me get answers and communicates things in a way I can understand. If there's a true standard for how we are to interface with getting medicines when we need them - the whole McCarthy Pharmacy and the way they work as a team exceeds that in all ways possible. I'm very thankful and hope anyone who wants to be treated like a person rather than an Rx number to see switch over from the bigger chain pharmacies than are more concerned about long wasteful rolls of coupons than real service and commitment to a very honorable profession we need to be healthy. They also deliver, open Saturdays until 2 pm and in a great location with easy parking. read more

McCarthy Pharmacy is a neighborhood pharmacy with great service, friendly and very willing to help customers with prescriptions and advice.

It's a great local pharmacy. The pharmacist is always very helpful and I appreciate being recognized when I come in. The staffers are helpful, but could be a bit more friendly. Overall, it's important to me to have a pharmacy where I can get proper one-on-one attention. I don't feel like I get that at a CVS or a Walgreens. read more
