Pacifica Compounding Pharmacy

Poor service by the manager. I came to pick up a package from FedEx, but without listening and…read morecareful review, he sent me away... good thing, I double checked my text messages. Another person showed up and said the same thing and said that "if my manager already checked it, then we do not have the package and here is the telephone no of FEDEX. I refused to leave until they double checked again and told them again that I was the sender and it was for another person, then he looked again. I peaked through their packages and can clearly see my packages and then finally the guy (not the manager- he did not show up anymore, hiding at the back of the store) looked again and said, "yeah your package is here. I am glad I insisted them to check otherwise I would be going around for a package that is already 1 week late in delivery. Sucky service.

I'm more of a CVS kinda guy but I do use this Walgreens as a pick up spot ( no not that kind of…read morepick up!) to get my FedEx packages whenever I'm not sure I'll be home to receive an important package I don't want some hoodlums to grab. It's kind of weird to see so many complaints about the service here. I've always been treating pretty well here. Even taking my passport photos. There was a mom with a young infant taking a passport photo on the counter on its back with the mom shaking a foil bag of snacks to get him/her at the camera. The worker was very patient and I was entertained though I had to wait. They haven't lost any packages or manhandled anything yet so I've got no complaints.

But as luck would have it, I came close to running out, so I needed to make a pharmacy run for more. I had a bit of time to lookup where I'd find what I needed most affordable and CVS came up. This happened to be conveniently located nearest where I was at the time. So I came through. found what I needed immediately, went to the self-checkout and scanned my items. And even a nicer surprise: the items I got had an additional discount simply by adding a phone number (being a CVS shopper and all.) TIP: expect a really long receipt if you opt to have it printed. But take a few seconds to look through it - you can avail even more discounts for future purchases. It was a convenient and good first run. Will come through again should I find myself in this neighborhood with a pharmacy need in the future.

Our dog Domino is highly energetic, very strong for his little body and so smart. He recently got bit by some kind of bee or other insect and it turned into a hot spot because he won't stop licking it. It just got worse and worse, so a new vet gave us a prescription for antibiotics for him, but no matter what we do, he won't swallow them when they are in a treat or his meals. We would have to chase him into a corner and shove it down his throat to get him to swallow it, which is so agonizing to see him in discomfort. Pacifica Pharmacy was able to make it with his specific dose and flavor it so he would swallow it without strain. Now it's like a treat for him and his hot spot can finally heal! I highly recommend Pacifica Pharmacy for veterinary medicine, for any medicine for that matter. The staff was great- letting me know as soon as the medication ready. Jeff was patient and knowledgeable and you can tell he cares. read more

As a healthcare professional, I was VERY disappointed back in September to get my Covid booster. Only to find out they were providing an updated one within days and I was never told when I came for my shot. So I got a useless vaccine and now have to wait until AFTER Thanksgiving to get the current one. On top of that, I'm reading information about how poorly matched this year's flu shot is at actually tackling the mutation that is becoming dominant. I wanted to ask if there were any supplemental boosters in the works. The woman I talked to kept saying "we are just told....". She finally put me through to a temporary manager. And the moment I started asking HER questions, she said "well, you can talk to the manager in charge tmrw". I joked that was an easy way for her to shove me off onto somebody else too. She said "corporate sends those texts about calling if you have questions about vaccines. WE don't send them." (Implying she doesn't want to talk about any of this). I said OK. She hung up.

Since my child had already been running a fever for four days and was diagnosed with bronchitis, I wanted to get the medication the same day. I told them to forget it, and they didn't say another word--just gave me cold stares as I left. Also, they did not transfer our prescription to Ralph.
