Shangoo Pharmacy

I stopped by the store this morning to pick up my prescription. The pharmacy was really busy, but…read moreeveryone there was very kind. I also loved the new self check-in pad at the pharmacy -- no need to give your information verbally anymore, it's all electronic now. Such a convenient upgrade! I also want to give a big thank you to Josh (I hope I have the name right), the security guard. There was a lot of theft going on for a while, but since Josh has been there, he's always doing a great job, and his customer service is 5-star. Please give him some recognition for helping keep the store safe and enjoyable to shop in. To the managers: keep up the good work, and thank you for being there for the public. Tarzana CVS gets 5 stars, and security is #1. The female security guard is also always very nice and attentive. Thank you again!

You've seen the neon that the Tarzana CVS pharmacy is open 24 hours?…read more Don't believe it. Consider it closed between 1 and 4:15 a.m. I've gone in twice around 1:40 a.m. and found the shutters closed. On the first occasion three or four people were waiting for 2:10 a.m., when a sign says someone will be back. My visit wasn't urgent, but I wonder if some of those people were coming from ER. Supposedly, I learned on my second visit (thinking the first closure was an aberration), the pharmacy closes from around 1 to 2:30, reopens for a half-hour, then closes again from 3 to 4 for computer update. Supposedly they reopen at 4, but I remember a time when it was closer to 4:15 before my shuttle-banging got them to open. (I repented my annoyance when I talked with the attendant.) I don't know how they rationalize such dismal service -- if the 1 a.m. closing is for lunch, why can't they have lunch at 3 when they're forced to close for computer update? -- but I do know my current impulse is to seek another pharmacy, even if it forces me to venture out on hot days to get in long air-conditioned lines. PS: I suppose some attendants will say "I'll starve if I have to wait until 3," but I've learned that even a cup of water or a quick nibble of something will appease the hunger. The delay, for me, makes lunch all the better.

The store is very cleaned and organized inside. There wasn't that many guest inside and their pharmacy area was very quiet.

At the same time, I was also prescribed calcium and vitamin D as separate medications. When I picked up my prescriptions, I received the calcium and vitamin D, but I never received the prenatal vitamins. Since I had never taken prenatal vitamins before, I genuinely thought the calcium pill was my prenatal vitamin, so I had no reason to think anything was missing. I didn't discover the mistake until about 4 months later, when I was 32 weeks pregnant. After I was diagnosed with anemia, my OB asked whether I had been taking my prenatal vitamins and iron. That's when we realized I had never been given the prenatal vitamins that had been prescribed. When I contacted the pharmacy, I was told they had two profiles under my name and that the person handling my prescriptions didn't see the correct one. At no point was I ever notified that my prenatal vitamins had not been dispensed or were still waiting to be picked up. Learning 4 months later that I had never been given my prenatal vitamins was heartbreaking and extremely concerning. While I understand that mistakes can happen, medication errors involving pregnant patients can have serious consequences.

I needed to pick a few things from CVS, but the pharmacy didn't have the prescriptions I needed. It felt like a nightmare when I first started. The wait time at CVS took almost 20 minutes then I couldn't get what I wanted. After what felt like months, I was told it couldn't be completed. I walked to the other side of the street and found Tarzana Plaza Pharmacy. I was greeted by Michael at the door. He was friendly, warm, and welcoming. The first thing he asked was what do you need? Truly I wasn't sure, I got this prescription and didn't know much about it. He took a look and started explaining how the medicine works. Within a few minutes, I felt better just knowing that someone was there to help me and not just give me what I needed. The pricing was modest, but the service I received was above and beyond anything I could ask for. Michael truly cares about his employees and customers. To the other reviews, give him another chance and try Tarzana Plaza Pharmacy read more

The owner of this pharmacy, Michael, is horrible. I had a prescription for 120 pills. He did not have them all but he had 55 of them. I said fine, I'll take them. But he charged my insurance for 65 pills! Not 55! This is insurance fraud and when I called him on the phone, he was extremely rude and threatened to call the cops if I showed up there. i now have my insurance company investigating the situation. This guy is a LIAR and THIEF and likes to commit insurance fraud. DON'T GIVE HIM YOUR BUSINESS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!! read more
