I stopped by this pharmacy today to pick up a cough suppressant and ended up having one of the most helpful pharmacy experiences I've had in a long time. After I asked for suggestions, the gentleman behind the counter actually came out from behind the counter and walked me to the aisle instead of just pointing me in the direction. He took the time to ask what medications I'm currently taking and whether I have any allergies before recommending a couple of options that would be safe for me. It honestly felt like I was getting guidance from a personal nurse rather than just shopping in a store. I really appreciated how attentive, knowledgeable, and patient he was. Customer service like that is rare these days. Thank you for going the extra mile! read more

Extremely helpful. Even helped with recommendations Stella Our Customer Service. How do you recommended?

This store said I have to contact manufactory for return and exchange. And I got this email from manufactory. Who's responsibity for this? I am confused.

I love this place. They really take great care of you. They help keep me up on my vaccinations every year. They always explain new medications, and watch out for you. The staff are all wonderful, the owner is a sweetheart who really cares about her customers. read more

Dr. Shar and dr. Vera are so helpful. When you are going through a rough time the last thing you want to do is to worry about not being able to get your meds because of the insurance games. Dr. Vera and dr. Shar have always went out of their way to male sure everything is going smoothly and we always get our medications before they runout. read more

I had a MTB Accident, I decided to stop by this pharmacy to support a local business, but the manager Shar, asked me if the packet was open, when it was not, I didn't want my money back, just to exchange for something else, since I paid $18.31. But She asked me for the receipt, that I couldn't find when I was at the store, maybe, because I'm limping and I'm on pain. Anyway, I came home to find the receipt on top of my counter, but it's not worth it to go back, that woman is so mean and the customer service is the worse, everything at that place is trash, not worth the drive. Please avoid to visit this place. read more

This pharmacy has been extremely helpful and prompt with all of my moms prescriptions. My mom's health has been declining, and has been requiring more and more prescriptions. At times we would need somethings quickly, and MedLife Pharmacy & Compounding has been kind, and efficient in ensuring we get the the necessary items for my moms care. She has taken the time to speak with me in detail on items pertaining to my mom and provided detail instructions and information. Pricing is competitive and on point with other compounding pharmacy, and they work with insurance. The value she has added to my moms care has been extraordinary and we are so fortunate to have found this pharmacy. We live in Rancho Santa Margarita and make the drive because it is worth every bit of it. Would be happy to refer this pharmacy to anyone! read more

This pharmacy was very helpful to my mom when it came to filling her prescription when we couldn't fill or find it any where else. The pharmacist was very nice and explained to my mom all the things she needed to do for her to get prescription filled and picked up the next day! Such an excellent Pharmacy, that answered all our questions, and was able to give my mom what she needed when no other pharmacy could! Definitely could not recommend them enough to anyone who is in need of one. read more

My favorite independent pharmacy where the lead pharmacist Shar gives me a flu shot even though my new insurance didn't cover it! This is the neighborhood pharmacy where they remember your name. Very Persian friendly for those looking to speak in Farsi. For those working by Sand Canyon, this is a great place to get flu shots during work or basic medicine without going to Walmart. Shar will take of care of your needs - just ask for her if you have any questions about custom medicine or your prescription! read more

MedLife Pharmacy & Compounding - Lots of braces that rite aid doesn't have! - Drugstores Near Me - Irvine, California

See all

Very proficient staff there. Excellent knowledge of rare medications & compounding. They were very efficient in getting me the right medications, made generic options available where possible and made prompt delivery to my area. read more

I was in a tough situation when CVS and all the other generic pharmacies wouldn't take my prescription and I had surgery the very next day. Shar stepped up and stayed open - yes you heard correct- she stayed open and was able to help me. This is truly what you want in a business and something you can't get at generic stores. Thank you Shar for being a reliable, caring pharmacist. I will be recommending all of my friends and family! Also great prices if your insurance doesn't cover the meds! read more

I've been coming here for a while now and I absolutely love this place. The staff is very friendly and helpful; they have the best customer service than any other pharmacy that I've been to. Though I moved to a different city, which adds an additional 20 minute drive (each direction) to and from MedLife Pharmacy & Compounding, I still come here because of their highly competitive prices. I highly recommend price comparing your current compound and regular prescriptions to MedLife's. read more

Strongly, strongly advised. Dr. V is very understanding of your demands. He would even deliver your medicines for free if you have several from his pharmacy. read more

I have been going to MedLife pharmacy for several years and Dr Shar and her team have been very helpful and I am very grateful for their hard work and helpfulness. Thank you again! read more

I am happy to do business with MedLife Pharmacy. Their attention to detail has been second to none. I will continue to use them moving forward. Great Job - MedLife!!! read more

I am very happy doing business with them nice customer service and on time free delivery to my House

I just shifted my prescription from CVS to this pharmacy and today I just received my medicines package which was delivered by Medlife pharmacy for first time and i just surprised when I received my package which was so organized and all medicines came in a cooler box with a ice bag to keep medicines cool. Really nice job read more

Wow- I've never used that word to describe a Pharmacy but that is the least I can say about Medlife. The people are amazing, kind and understand how difficult it can be to navigate insurance coverage to get the right medications. Not only do the people there help, they actually care about their customers and how to save people money on their Rx. This is worth finding in Irvine. I've used their services from everyday RX to compounding and more. The are INCREDIBLE- don't go anywhere else. People make the difference, try them and you'll see. read more

The female pharmacist was very rude. I went in to fill a prescription and she's asking me what the problem is and not willing to fill. I just left the doctor and went here thinking they would be helpful but the lady was very rude acting like I didn't just see the doctor and it made me feel very uncomfortable. I would never go here. read more

Dr Shar is an extremely rude person, my Fiance just picked up a prescription from this pharmacy and was yelled at in the pharmacy parking space for parking in it by this woman. First off you have no idea what patients/customers are going through when they are picking up pharmaceuticals, secondly you should show kindness and respect to all people especially if they are your customers and thirdly she was parked in the pharmacy parking spot picking up medication from your pharmacy. Dr Shar went out of her way to yell at her for doing exactly what she was supposed to be doing. I dont know what kind of operation this company is trying to run, but this kind of behavior is unacceptable. read more

Please ditch the pharmacy chains like CVS, RiteAid, Walgreens... and come to this place for your RX needs and more! The team members here are very friendly and easy to communicate with. Viral, you have been amazing! I found this place by accident when we were looking for sterile gauze. Viral and Dr. Shar took interest on the reason for the visit and answered our questions. I didn't end up needing to buy anything that day, but I switched my mother's pharmacy to them a few days after. Few weeks went by, I went in to pick up my mother's post surgery prescription, not only they remembered me, they also wanted to know how my mother's surgery was and how she's recovering. They also gave me tips and answered my questions about her other medical conditions. It is rare to encounter folks with such compassion and empathy nowadays. Thank you all for taking great care of my mother's needs. read more

These folks are wonderful. I'd recommend this to anyone I know and would entrust them with the care whom I've gotten to know firsthand: Shar, Josh, and John. They are all-stars. Shar has worked with me with deep care, and has revived my belief in pharmacists in how she genuinely asked about my needs, worked with my doctor, and went over-the-top in making sure I was cared for in the ways I needed. If you're in need of a stellar pharmacy team, go there. If you're in the area and want to see some lovely faces with smiles - they're you're team! read more

I cannot recommend them more highly. They are so efficient at keeping my refills current. They are always on top of things and I will never go back to a chain pharmacy! The personal service I get is above and beyond what you might expect. If you are tired of poor service and high prices give MedLife a try. read more

Shar is one of the greatest pharmacists that I have ever met. She is caring, knowledgable and passionate about her work. She takes the extra step to help, educate and take care of you in any which way she can. It has been a pleasure meeting her and discovering the pharmacy. A definite pharmacy to visit when in need of expert hep. Thanks Shar. read more

Medlife has gone above and beyond, for our family. SHAR is a compassionate, understanding person, who had a delivery made from Irvine to Hollywood Hills on a Friday Night. Simply amazing, their Products are superb every time. We are getting a Homeopathic mix. Thank you, Medlife. read more

I originally posted a one star review. I was then contacted by the pharmacist owner to ask me about my experience. She asked me if I had previously been on long acting or immediately release that this would make a difference. I told her I would find out. ***************************************************** I am modifying my review come to find out I had previously only been on immediate acting progesterone which I do well on. The progesterone I was on through MedLife was long acting not sure if this was my particular issue in experiencing negative side effects mainly an exacerbation of estrogen dominance symptoms which is why I take progesterone to counter act. I have returned to the previous formulation through another compounding pharmacy. read more

Great customer service! I get my pets compounding medication here. My dog is on a LOT of different medications, Shar goes above and beyond to help me understand if I have any questions about a new dose/ medication. Her staff calls when my dog is about to run out/ and if I need to refill. My dog is a senior dog who is also diabetic and her staff answered all my questions about ordering Freestyle Libre for my dog! She's amazing, they all are! I've always had a great experience there. Even during Covid, they have been nothing but helpful. I highly recommend this pharmacy to anyone else with or without pets! But if you have pets, they can compound the meds to taste like chicken /fish and other flavors! My pet loves to take her medicine! It's like a treat for her! Hight, highly recommend! 100% read more

Just wow, the lady (apparently Dr. Shar) on the phone was in denial and very rude when I stated the medication we received had fewer doses than we ordered, even though I don't care about the replacement or discount. I just wanted to let them know that they made a mistake which is OK; it happens; she accused me of being a liar in response. Wow really? Is that how you treat your customers? We've been buying a medication here for more than a year, and once we had a hiccup, the reaction from that lady was bizarre. I moved on and called again one month later to order the medication and spoke with a lovely gentleman; however, she jumped on a call and started arguing about that again and telling me that I was wrong. Again! So unprofessional. Just so confused by such a bizarre treatment. Customers, please beware! read more

I love this pharmacy! I have never been to any location with this personal and loving costumer service before. I have been looking for a smaller retail pharmacy that I trusted and had convenience for so long, I have had such bad luck with chain pharmacies. When I found out about MedLife and went to pay them a visit I was overjoyed to meet the owner, Shar who was so accommodating of my needs and answered all my questions! If you are thinking about making the switch from a chain pharmacy (like CVS or RiteAid) I strongly suggest you go through with it and give MedLife a try! read more

Dr shar I like you as a good person until this happened I got so very upset because I was thinking about you completely deferent until that happened. You could remind me one time than confirm to me if your insurance do it the same sorry can't help you find another pharmacy. My dear 3 times telling me and thirds time the way you talking with loud voice and so harsh I got insulted me. Always treat you and your staff with really good manners because I like you and your staff . You was good just for max $35 you shouldn't show me that behavior. Even in first time I asked you ho I can help you Dr? I was ready with my happiness feeling pay back to your Pharmecy? You said nothing and second time sending message through my husband and thirds times you really bad , kind of rude , harsh and loud voice treated me and another things you said I don't want say here. Anyhow today CVS will call you to transfer all my med . Wishing you all the good for you ! Still emotionally not good. I didn't edit my post. Fakhri Kehari read more

My poor dog Arthur got diagnosed with having an inflamed liver and part of his cocktail of medication included compounded medicine. I did a quick search and Medlife popped up on the radar. It's a very clean and well-organized store and they even have really cute cards and stuffed animals in the front. I knew I was in good hands once I walked in with my dog's prescription. The people there were very attentive and the pharmacist was very kind and sweet. She was a little surprised when I told them Arthur wasn't a human but didn't skip a beat in their service. They even waited for me a little bit past closing when I called ahead to say I was running behind to pick up the medication. Arthur loved his medication and maybe it's because it was made so nicely; it certainly made my job easier. :) I returned once I used up all the medication after a month and the pharmacist asked me how he was doing! It's so nice she remembered him. :) No one likes having to get medicine, but Medlife makes it less stressful and even a little pleasant. read more

Medlife Pharmacy has blown us away. We're so grateful to Dr. Shar and her team. My young son needed medication and we were looking for a compounding pharmacy that could make it without sugar (sugar could exasperate his symptoms). Dr. Shar not only worked with our special request with such care and understanding, but also tried a few different "recipes" to see what my little one would like the taste of best. So much more than just a pharmacist, Dr. Shar asked about my little one's progress, shared advice when I needed help with navigating doctor's visits, was very empathetic, and shared her vast knowledge and experience with us. Also their system is so efficient...  I've never had to wait long for the prescription to be made and receive a text message as soon as it's ready. All of the employees are kind, gentle, and knowledgeable. Thank you, Dr. Shar and your team, for such heartfelt care and dedication. This is what sets you apart from the rest! read more

This pharmacy is amazing! They are so helpful and responsive it is unbelievable. I have never used a pharmacy which is more proactive about following up and also helping to navigate the issues surrounding insurance coverage. I cannot recommend highly enough! read more

Dr shar is one of the best Dr pharmacist that I've seen, she's very friendly, helpful, nice and professional in her industry. In addition all the staff are very friendly and wonderful. I'm really happy to meet them and I recommend here to all y friends and family. read more

Really great pharmacy full of kind and knowledgeable people. I get medication both for myself and my puppies here. When they can they always try to help me save money by compounding the medicine, which is useful for prolonged medication. read more

We've had some very stressful experiences with CVS so we decided to transfer everything over to Med Life, and so far we're very pleased. They've worked with us whenever they can and are very professional and friendly. I'm so happy already that we've changed pharmacies and it's only been a few weeks. It's made a world of difference since we have a lot of prescriptions to fill for our family. Highly recommended! A+ read more

I will never go to another pharmacy. I put up with the long lines and rude service of CVS and Walgreens for so long. But Medlife is completely opposite. They remember you by the name, remind you if you haven't picked up your meds, and are just always friendly, fast, clean and there is always a parking spot right there. read more

This Pharmacy is a very elite and service driven group of professionals who sincerely care about the customer and their patient needs. I am a mother of a special needs child and there were complications with my child's insurance, doctors and correct medicine. The staff listens intently and would take multiple phone calls and immediately offer solutions, service and delivery. It was at crucial times that I needed their assistance and they provide above and beyond service, care and detailed explanation of the medicine that I was able to understand and then make serious decisions when it came time to move on to better doctors for my child who were providing the human concern to my son's medical needs. If you would like to experience being treated as an important person who deserves support for your medicine needs, I can state enough how amazing this Pharmacy provides service and a welcoming environment and says hi to you personally and genuinely cares about families. Irvine is very fortunate to have this business in the heart of Irvine with Saturday hours for working professionals. Please release yourself from the pharmacy chains who have long lines and tell you what they can't do or what blocks they have due to insurance. Med-Life Pharmacy breaks through those blocks for insurance and helps educate the customer for the medicine needs. It is beyond professional and friendly. They truly care about each person that walks into their business. Sincerely, Jennifer read more

Although they didn't have the medication that I needed when I was unexpectedly ill, the pharmacist was kind enough to follow up with me. She called me back within 24 hours which I thought was good customer service. It's unfortunate that she couldn't have answered my questions any sooner, however, since by the time she'd called, I'd already gone with another pharmacy. Still, "Shar" seemed quite friendly and knowledgeable. If it was convenient, I'd definitely return, but she'll have to move faster so that I can give her my biz another time. read more

My pregnant wife just took a DTwP vaccine here and feel pain free! Awesome job! Shar! We definitely recommend this pharmacy. read more
