I used the drive through to receive my medication yesterday and everything went fine until the…read moreDoctor came to the window to tell me how the medication was to be taken. She was speaking very fast and when I tried to ask her to slow down she continued to talk over me and even faster. It was like trying to communicate with a 16 year old girl. This has never happened to me at a pharmacy ever. It was as if she was only telling me the instructions because she had to. After she finished she told me everything she said was on the bottle. She also never iterated that I should spread out the two pills I'd be taking daily. I proceeded to read the instructions but still managed to take the medication wrong. I believe it was because of this incident. This was unprofessional as we are talking about medication here. I then called to ask if how I took the medication was ok and I know I the call was answered by the same woman doctor. She had no answer for me and again was rushing the conversation. Rather that she needed to call my doctor? This has never happened to me before. I believe a Pharmacist doctor should know the answer to these kinds of simple questions. She told me she would need to call my doctor and call me back. She did call back with decent news which was great. My only advise here is no matter how busy somewhere gets that the pharmacists take their job more seriously and take time in explaining how medication should be consumed properly. Also, it is unhealthy for her to be moving or talking that fast. No one should have to receive their medication this way!

My daughter got texts saying her meds were ready and if she didn't pick them up they were going to put them back. When they finally acknowledged us They said they only had one prescription ready and she had more than that that she was supposed to pick up.

It was extremely difficult to schedule an appointment with my own provider so I decided to pay out of pocket to get it done at a local CVS. Scheduling an appointment through the CVS app was super easy and the check in process was seamless. I received notifications on my phone with reminders to check and I was called into the doctor's office within a 5 minutes wait (walk ins are welcomed, btw!) The doctor was friendly and very thorough with the process. The test was quick and I was able to schedule a follow up visit to check the results the following Monday, and I received an email notification right away confirming my appointment. It was $35 for the appointment and it will be another $50 for the follow up. Definitely had a wonderful experience!

Arcadia Pharmacy Center is conveniently located in a plaza with Good Fortune Supermarket, right…read morenext to May Mei Restaurant, Yogurtland, and Chang's Garden, making it an easy stop during your daily errands. There's plenty of parking available in the lot, which is always a plus. It's also just across the street from a medical center that includes various clinics, Arcadia MRI & Imaging Center, and other primary care doctors, so it's a very convenient spot if you need to pick up a prescription after a doctor's visit. My family has been using this pharmacy for years. Their pick-up process is very efficient. The staff at the front are kind and helpful, and they have several people working behind the counter to sort inventory and make sure everything runs smoothly. They sometimes offer delivery services, which has been a big help on busy days. While they carry a selection of over-the-counter products like Solstice products, Tiger Balm, Cetaphil, and Vaseline, I do find that these items tend to be more expensive than at other stores, so I usually prefer to purchase them elsewhere. Overall, Arcadia Pharmacy Center is a reliable and efficient neighborhood pharmacy with friendly service. I recommend it for anyone in the area.

The community is admirably resistant to chain stores (the one survivor can be found dispensing charred, overpriced coffee worldwide), and if PAX had not decided to move here we may instead have had one of the indistinguishable chain drug outlets. Instead we now have a splendid example of a superior, locally-owned business that is both professionally top-notch (I'm a geezer; I know what I'm talking about) and exquisitely attentive to its clientele. The pharmacist/owner, Bella, has a comprehensive knowledge of pharmacy, naturally, but is attuned to her customers. She has retained the staff who have been here for years, and brought in some outstanding people as needed. In short, even if I lived in Pasadena, I would still trek to Sierra Madre in order to get the sort of personal attention you receive here.
