They kept me on hold for a long time and then told me I've never been prescribed that medicine before and I said that's because you guys were always out of it so my doctor changed it, and I started going to another pharmacy after having my doctor call. They still did not fill my prescription when I called back the lady on the phone said a lot of people don't have their prescriptions right now and they're learning how to live without them. Basically she said I don't need this and then she tells me there's lots of other pharmacies and I can try calling them but calling this one was absolutely worthless and unprofessional telling someone that's been on medication their entire life since childhood to stop taking it and just deal with it. Tough it up. What a crappy Pharmacy zero love or care I remember when the Asian family that owned it before the store was remodeled they were so nice and always kind and even called me on my birthday or sent a card this kind of service does not exist here anymore and I will never ever even try to get a prescription from this pharmacy. Totally disgusted on how I was treated and talked toby staff member on the phone. They should be working. At a gas station or somewhere where they don't have to give a care about what they're doing or how it affects peoples lives. I hope they have the same situation happened to them someday and go through what I did maybe then they will have some compassion for others.

I'm feeling better now that I went to a different pharmacy

My pharmacy at the time was closing and I needed to find a replacement. I had all my current info sent over and they started filling immediately and have been providing needed refills since. I have been with them for about 5 months and have not had any issues so far, they seem friendly and accommodating to my needs. It's been a few things that I was not able to refill but it's not their fault, it's an insurance thing.

My pharmacy has been great but said I will have to start thinking about changing some of my prescriptions to another pharmacy as they are having trouble getting them. Mom and pop places struggling to get product. I stopped here near my doctor to ask a few questions. The place is clean and convenient. There was no one else inside when I went in but when the pharmacist came over she seemed rushed and made me feel as if I was bothering her when explaining. She just asked me what meds and I told her two of several and she said no they don't have them. I said I understand are you referring clients to chain pharmacies as well then or what are you guys doing. She just said ya like she had no time for me and turned away. I didn't even have a chance to thank her for her time of less than a minute. I can see why the rating is what it is and I should have checked before going in. This just solidifies the so so rating. Sad cuz I want to give my business to these places but they don't seem to want it. I'll still with Torrance Pharmacy and compounding and when I have to they will help me find medication elsewhere.

In the front, they sell various gift items such as cards, figurines, plush animals, and more. There are household items, over the counter meds, and general goods similar to a Walgreens or CVS. They also offer services to pay utility bills. Anyway, I was there for the home health items. The pharmacy clerk also inquired if I needed any assistance. I was good. In between picking up items, I checked my blood pressure at the machine. After that, I picked up the items for a family member and checked out in the front. Parking in Old Torrance is not really that easy. There are lots and a structure which may involve a little walking. I was fortunate to have parked at SBHH and walked over. Great experience. 4 stars.

The two workers there were not friendly at all. When I asked for my son's prescription, (antibiotics and inhaler) they told me they didn't have and that I would have to wait until tomorrow . 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. For this event, we call our Doctor's office for many times and wait until almost 5 pm but still no show of it. Finally, the lady call the Ralph's for sending prescription.

IS THIS HOW YOU TREAT YOUR LONG-TERM CHERISHED CUSTOMERS?? NO, I THINK NOT! this is how u LOSE CUSTOMERS! is SHE paying for their medicine, their rent, bills, etc.? or are the customers? this woman is VERY naive, very cruel, very cold and very uncaring. this is my legal RIGHT to my now overdue prescription plus a new one i needed today as well AND the other 1 that i'm out of that i need as well. i'm not allowed to get it OR them! WTH!? if you want good, reliable, consistent care, DO NOT GO TO THIS PHARMACY until she is fired!! which should be soon. i don't even live in carson, i have had san pedro pharmacies beg me to transfer to them (when i have called to see if THEY have something in stock that i need) (ones down the street from me) & i have refused saying that i'm not thrilled w/my pharmacy at all times, but i feel like i should be LOYAL to them. apparently, they don't feel the same! BEWARE of this witch! oh & the COVID shots!! lest i forget. i am texted by them that they have the covid boosters IN stock Right now! i call & am told they are in stock as well. i drive out to carson, from SP, not down the street. after i wait awhile (cause nothing is ever filled when u ask for it or when it's promised to be), i then wait for my covid booster awhile too. then as i'm finally about to get it i'm told "oh we are out". the male pharmacist (much nicer than the witch) tells me he will check w/other pharmacies for my booster & let me know in a few days. his words. i NEVER heard another thing about it. WHY text me AND tell me on the phone that it's THERE? neither brand was there. none. nada. zero. why did i drive out there? oh & they open at 9:30 am. what pharmacy opens that late? i have been out and about at 8 am & such & wanting to run there to pick up countless times, but no, they aren't open at even regular biz hours! there's a hospital right across the street, they don't care to be open to people from the hospital even? no wonder it's like a ghost town in there almost every time i've been there. people went elsewhere, as i'm about to!
