I live in the city, and have a prescription that can be pretty hard to get filled sometimes. My doctor and I decided to send it here to see whether they could fill it on short notice, before a trip. Not only was the prescription filled the next morning, but also at a very fair price, and when I picked it up today it was even lower than expected (I get the feeling they may have proactively applied a coupon?). The pharmacist was also courteous and professional when I picked up. Great experience! read more

The most recent and an exodus of customers from this once highly reputable pharmacy say, due to the obnoxiousness of the pharmacists who apparently believe it's appropriate to comment to one another about their customers within earshot of the customers themselves (including, occasionally, customers who are physicians themselves!) read more

I unfortunately take a lot of medications and they are obviously important. It never fails to amaze me how CVS or one of the others have long lines and could care less about the "person" standing in front of them. When I go to MY pharmacy (Ocean Breeze) they make a note to remember my name! They ask how I'm feeling. Yeah it's a small thing but it's really not to me. When my prescriptions are due to be renewed my pharmacist Kim or one the other amazing people that work there get it done. If there's a problem with my insurance or Prescription they call and fix it. I live in Great Kills and it's probably 1/2 drive on a good day, and I have 5+ other pharmacies within walking distance but I'll never go anywhere else. If I'm having a bad day they will deliver my medications for free as well. I remember when I was young the pharmacist was a part of the neighborhood. Well! Ocean Breeze is my Neighborhood pharmacy and I'll never switch. I just sorry it took so long to write this review I hope it helps their business because they're great. read more

One of the workers was rude & when I questioned her she came outside & threatened me. When I called the manager the manager said I was rude. Having an opinion & telling her to be nice is not rude. So they don't have the customers back. I guess the customer isn't always right in this establishment. So they lost 1 customer read more

After finding out I had Diabetes my Dr put me on meds that changed my life. Almost every Pharmacy gave me the run around regarding filling my prescriptions. My Dr then referred me to Ocean Breeze Pharmacy and with the help of Kim was able to fill my meds every month without issue. She fought with my insurance company to get my injections covered. Kim is a true asset to Ocean Breeze Pharmacy. Thank You, Excellent Pharmacy !! read more

Ocean breeze pharmacy is a very welcoming cute place. Treated me with care any questions that I had where answered straight away. This is now my go to pharmacy. read more

This is an old school pre-CVS looking pharmacy. Kinda standard stuff, bloss pressure cuffs, canes, glucose monitors, etc. read more

Ocean Breeze Pharmacy - Drugstores Near Me - Staten Island, New York

If I could give my experience with ocean breeze a zero star review I would. I normally use my local CVS or Walgreens for all my prescriptions however this Tuesday I saw my doctor and needed a medication that most big branch pharmacies aren't able to supply. My doctor told me they use Ocean Breeze or Delco to provide patients with this particular medication. I live in Grasmere, so Delco pharmacy is about a 30-45 minute drive for me at any point in time since it is across Staten Island, in Eltingville. So my doctor sent the prescription to ocean Breeze because it is 10 minutes, probably less, from where I live. I called ocean breeze once it was sent to ask them what time they were open until (because I am a nurse and I work 7a-7p but needed to pick up the medication that night to start it the next morning). The woman who picked up the phone was very nasty with just that simple question, stating 7pm and then basically hung up the phone on me. So I called back, because I had more questions, and asked how much the medication would cost and if it would be okay if my manager approved it, I left work early and arrived around 6pm to pick it up. The same woman, again with a nasty tone, looked up my prescription and said she couldn't make it for me until 10 am the next day and I should go somewhere else anyway because it was going to be expensive. I told her I couldn't just go anywhere else because only two pharmacies on SI make the medication I needed. And that I didn't care how much it costed, I needed the medication. Then I explained to her how I needed to start taking it the next morning, and that I cannot leave work at 10 am the next day to come get it at my leisure. She stated "I don't know what you'd like me to do I can't help you until tomorrow morning." This medication is a vital mediation for a health condition I am dealing with so telling me she's not sure what she could do to help me was a very rude, disappointing and inappropriate response. My doctor ended up calling the prescription to Delco, leaving me no choice but to drive for over an hour (I left work at 5pm instead of 7pm because my manager understood my dilemma) from Brooklyn to the other side of Staten Island. Delco was able to make my medication ready an hour after I called them and held it for me until I could arrive after work. If they were so willing and able to help me, the woman working in ocean breeze should have at least tried to do the same. She was so uninterested in helping me, and did not care at all for my concerns. I would NEVER recommend anyone use this pharmacy. The lack of compassion or care for a new customer was disgusting to me. And I will never ever give this place my business for as long as I live on Staten Island. read more

Somehow my prescriptions were sent to this Pharmacy instead of my usual. Called and ask them to release my scripts, gentleman on the phone said he did and hung up before I could continue. They never released my prescription and closed earlier than expected. Now I'm out of medication with no one to help. Horrible service. read more

I have been working with Ocean Breeze pharmacy since my pharmacy was purchased by them about ten years ago I was concerned about the change of course. they have been wonderful to work with. friendly, informative, service-oriented, and efficient. it's tough to find such good service providers. relying on Ocean Breeze has been easy from day one through today when they got me a delivery sorely needed. month in and month out they have been there. they also have hours that are client friendly- Sat, Sund, and hours running late on weekdays for we full time workers. They are easy to reach. read more

Clean store with friendly and efficient staff ! Very accommodating , and live to be able to support small business.

Always courteous and professional. They remind you of your refills thru text and deliver to you anywhere on Staten Island. Which is very convenient versus others that mail it to you and days if not weeks go by. I highly recommend them and always ask for Kim. She is the best. read more

Just want to give ocean breeze the credit they deserve I used to use cvs for convenience being so many but always had a problem even with meds I've been taking for years but always kept going till I couldn't deal with them anymore. So my doctor recommended ocean breeze pharmacy they are on the north side of island and m on the south side but I switched anyway and for the last couple of years it's been a pleasure dealing with them I hope they stay open for the rest of my years thank you so much guys you guys are great. I would sit in traffic on Hyland Blvd for hours to get they are worth it. Been there for years and not one problem and even suggested things that are easier for me without even asking. Keep it up and always looking forward to seeing you guys once a month fot my meds Thank you again Daniel Pearce read more

Ocean Breeze Pharmacy - Clean and nice place - Drugstores Near Me - Staten Island, New York

That are very attentive and always courteous. Always follow up and take time to explain and answer questions.

I have been using this pharmacy for years. I noticed lately the reps are rude and abrupt. Not all of them but most. I just got off the phone with Amy, who called me about my delivery . She was very rude. There's no need to be rude. Quick talking and rude. You need to screen the people your hiring better. read more

THIS PLACE IS DISGUSTING AND COMPLETED FRAUD!!!! So i made an appointment for this place to get the j & j vaccine just incase this place by me didn't have it. I made my appointment on Sunday September 19 for today, September 24th. THEY BILLED MY INSURANCE ON MONDAY SEPTEMBER 20th. FIVE DAYS BEFORE I GOT THE VACCINE. I never stepped foot in the office. I tried to get the vaccine in a different pharmacy here in Brooklyn and told me I received a dose on September 20th. When they we're putting my insurance information thru. How do you bill insurance before someone steps foot into your office. When i called this place the man didn't know what to say and said "this is what we do!" What kind of business does this??? A bunch of crook scammers. read more

Truly -0. Unprofessional. Rude. Waiting for over one week for prescriptions. Lies about when delivering. Calling "managers" is a joke. Horrendous!!!!!!! read more

The Pharmacists @ Ocean Breeze Pharmacy are like no other! They become part of your family! They give you a heads up on prescriptions that they are able to fill and on those which may be difficult! They let you know which herbs are not good with certain medications! They welcome your calls even when it's Not time to fill your Rx's! I' am blessed to have them in my life and would hope that others, who want people who care about them, to let them be part of your life and the lives of your family & friends! -Your neighbor, Lorraine read more

Great service by Kayla....amazing customer service. We need more people like her in the customer service industry. Everyone needs to go in and ask for Kayla. read more

Great place. Kayla Valentino was so helpful and kind. She is such a valuable employee. She knew the store very well and was instrumental in helping me locate the products that I needed. Great help is hard to come by! Thank you Kayla!!!!! read more

Ocean breeze pharmacy is the best I had the best service tonight by Kim iquan and Anna. They really care about me and it's so nice to have an independent pharmacy unlike CVS and Walgreens that really cares about their patients. I've been to other stores and no one really compares to ocean breeze pharmacy I come here every time and every time I'm treated like gold. Thank you so much ocean breeze!! read more

Great service, friendly staff and very helpful in making medication decisions! Would highly recommend all to utilize this location as their primary pharmacy. read more

Great pharmacy and staff! Always made their customers feel safe during Covid! VERY caring and attentive to any concerns I had. Prefer this pharmacy over any large retail. read more

There is a complete lack of customer service here! The clerks are curt & abrupt with customers & the staff isnt able to answer the most basic questions about their products. Even asked to speak to a pharmacist who wasnt helpful & referred me back to the same rude clerk who i just left because she didnt help me. save yourself the time & aggravation and go somewhere else. read more

My husband has been going to Oceanbreeze for years. He gets 1 prescription from one doctor for all of this time. We pay cash for this medicine because the insurance company wanted my husband to get a weeks worth and go once a week and his job makes that impossible, so we pay cash to get around the head ache. When we first started getting the medication it was $80. And it stayed that way for a good long while. Then one day last year it went up to $100. I didn't make a big deal because I understand medicine goes up sometimes so I didn't say a word. THEN in March, at the beginning of the pandemic I waited outside for the girl to bring it to my car and it went up another $20. So now it's $120. I had no choice, I didn't say a word and paid it. Since March they have consistently every month tried to raise it another $100. 6 months ago they said it was $210. When I asked to speak to the pharmacist, they kid on the phone literally put the phone down for 30 seconds, picked it up and said "It's still $120." Then the next month the same exact thing. When I said something again they said it was now $150. And that's that. Still every month they tried to charge me $210. Only when I would protest it they would say it was $150. Then THIS month I called the next day after it was sent over to see when to pick it up. They said "ohhh....sorry. They supplier doesn't have it and they don't know when they'll get it." So I know that was their way of getting rid of us because I wouldn't let them take advantage of me. The week after hurricane Sandy they were able to get it! I never ever ever had a problem with that. But now because they want to charge what they want and they don't want to hear me they got rid of us. I should thank them tho because my doctor sent it to Walgreens and with the GoodRX coupon I got the SAME medicine for $18.00. So from $150 to $18.00 Don't go to this pharmacy. read more

Horrible pharmacy staff. Manager doesn't care and basically does whatever she wants. Good luck to anyone trying to talk to her!

I really liked this pharmacy's service for a very long period of time. For some reason, recently, I've been having bad experiences with getting my medication delivered. I did speak to someone who went over and beyond to make sure I received my medication. Her name is Equan (hope I spelled her name correctly). Thank you Equan! And GOD bless you! read more

Horrible customer service I was there with one other customer Guess who took precedence. Then the cashier took 10 minutes looking for a piece of paper left near the register. Then she does not know the price for the item-needing another one to find it else where before ringing me up what should've taken 10 minutes took over 1/2 hour of my time read more

Won't be going there again. Not friendly or helpful at all. Went their to buy some supplies for my mom and there were no other clients yet I got no help. I was given looks as if something was wrong we me since I had to going up and asking questions. Never have been made to feel so uncomfortable but my mom needed these supplies. Go elsewhere. read more

Be careful if you need to buy anything in this pharmacy besides medication they don't follow their return policy & the manager is nasty. The worst pharmacy I ever dealt with & won't recommend to anybody. read more

Over the last year, the customer service has improved dramatically. I feel so well taken care of and like a person, not a number on a screen. They provide genuine care, and this is something you want as part of your healthcare. So grateful to fill my prescriptions here! read more

The absolutely worst! Purchased an air nebulizer. My mother is 96 years old with asthma and uses it twice a day. It broke after a month and a half. Went back to Ocean Breeze to return it. Clerk (SB) tells me since I purchased it a month ago I would have to go through the manufacturer to get a replacement. I told SB it was for a 96 year old woman with asthma so he goes to (the pharmacist I guess) and comes back and tells me he understands but that's our store policy. For a pharmacy that deals with people with medical needs it is totally unacceptable for the lack of compassion and caring exhibited by the employees at Ocean Breeze Pharmacy. read more

I have been a customer of Ocean Breeze for many years and I have to say the service is outstanding! The pharmacy is clean and the staff if so attentive. The Pharmacist are a pleasure and so professional, especially Kim! I would recommend this pharmacy to anyone. They are like family! read more

Extremely rude staff. I called prior to going to pick something up. The person on the phone was annoyed by my call and told me they had what I needed and my insurance covers it. When I arrived employees were robotic with no personality. I waited at the drop off desk for no one to acknowledge my existence. Then I went to the pick up and the lady told me she'd be right over --- she never came over and forgot. Then I get told to go back to the pick up to start my order. And THEN after taking all my information they don't accept my insurance. Could've avoided all of it if the person who answered the phone has 1% of good customer service. read more

I have a handicapped daughter with many medical needs. Both nebulizer supplies and medicines are quite costly. Besides always being courteous, the pharmacists work hard to get us our needs in a timely fashion, offer helpful advice when needed and show a true concern for my daughters well being. Bottom line they have worked extremely hard to keep our monthly costs as low as possible at a time where costs just keep rising. Her needs are many and specialized. Perhaps it's their true compassion for people they serve in this community says it all. Our eleven year relationship should say more then words and Ocean Breeze will continue to be a place who is consistently reliable. read more

Over the past year, I have seen such an improvement in the customer service. The staff has so much compassion for me due to my illness. They treat me like a person and not like another number. You will not find this kind of customer service in a corporation or a chain pharmacy such as a Walgreens or a CVS. Everyone is so hospitable they will order you anything you want and they have a free delivery service including delivering to all five boroughs .... for free! This includes all over the counter products especially when I run out of my specialty items. I can't think this pharmacy enough for helping me with my medications - I am never going back to CVS!!!! read more

Horrible!!!! This place doesn't accommodate for anything!! One time I got prescriptions filled and the lady said 10 mins. 25 mins later it wasn't even placed to be processed. This store is pathetic! read more
