One important tip: try your best to arrive before 2:45 PM--and honestly, even that may be cutting it close. On my most recent visit, I checked in around 2:40 PM and was informed that they wouldn't be able to accommodate me that day. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, though, and they referred me to another nearby location. Unfortunately, when I arrived there, the line was even longer, and they were unable to fit me in as well. Despite that experience, I still prefer getting my labs done at this Walgreens because the process is usually quick and efficient. Check-in is simple, and when timing works out, I'm generally in and out without any hassle. A few helpful tips for first-time visitors..... -Bring your photo ID and insurance card. -If you have a lab requisition from your physician, bring it with you. -If your provider submitted the order electronically, they can typically pull it up in their system. I've never had any issues receiving my lab results, and the staff have always been professional and courteous. My only suggestion would be to consider accommodating patients who have already checked in before the cutoff time, especially those who arrive before the 15-minute mark leading up to closing. It can be disappointing to complete the check-in process only to learn there isn't enough time to be seen. Overall, this is still one of my preferred locations for lab work because of the friendly staff and efficient service. If you're in the area and need labs done, just plan to arrive early and you should have a smooth experience. As always, you can thank me later!

What is with CVS stores in general, does all of their pharmacies just suck? Granted the only reason…read moreI'm giving this location an extra star compared to the CVS on Chase & Avocado- is because they treat you like a person and don't judge you on your prescriptions. I had a horrific nightmare happen at the other location, the 2 Arabic pharm.techs decided they wanted to make fun of the fact that I'm on a certain prescription(no I'm not a dirty girl or on anything scary), they called me some really harsh things in Farsi. So when I turned back and retaliated at them , it shut them up fast. Yes, growing up in East County you too can learn other languages, and when your step father was always in in Iran, trust me you learn alot more than just the bad words.. But back to this location, its pretty much in the heart of the valley , filled with crackheads, weirdos, and people trying to constantly re fill their xanax prescriptions and pay for it with food stamps card. So no wonder there is always such a long ass line . The poor techs have to deal with everything and then some. But for the most part if you drive thru the drive thru , you are handled with care and with someone who is courteous and nice. Id say there are about 3 nice people that work back in the pharmacy other than the pharmacist himself. But it must be the location to put them in such shitty moods day in and day out. Sucks, but don't take it out on someone somewhat normal like me! Props to the little gay man with the curly q mustache, hes always uber nice. If you aren't gay, sorry , you just seem it , and there ain't nothin wrong with that! CVS is always gonna be an interesting joint, especially this one. Note to you: Don't sit on any of the chairs , or sit at the high blood pressure machine, Ive seen people puke, pee and poop themselves in all of those chairs. Just walk around til your name is called . Good luck and feel better!

We were far away from our usual CVS near our home, and my wife had accidentally forgotten to bring her medication with her. I explained the situation and asked if they could provide just enough medication for one day until we could return home. A man who introduced himself as the supervisor spoke with me. He refused to help and told us that we had to contact the doctor. What was most upsetting was his attitude. He was extremely rude and showed no understanding or willingness to help. I then went to a different CVS, explained the same situation, and they were able to help me get a one-day supply. I understand that there may be policies and requirements regarding prescription medications, but the way this supervisor treated me was completely unnecessary. Even if he could not help, he could have explained the situation politely and professionally.

The first time I…read moretransferred money, everything went smoothly--the process was easy, and the front desk staff was very kind. The second time, there was a bit of an issue, but I was able to resolve it by speaking with a front desk and called Western Union representative, so that turned out okay. The third time, I'll admit the issue was partly on my end. I contacted Western Union and tried different locations, but unfortunately, the maximum pickup amount here is only $300. To be honest, I have a health condition--something you wouldn't notice unless I explain it. I survived a ruptured brain aneurysm, and while I may look fine physically, it's still a struggle. That's why I was really saddened by the way one of the front desk staff treated me. I don't remember his name, and I found his behavior to be very unprofessional. I had already spoken to three other Walgreens employees who were helpful and easy to communicate with, so I was surprised and disappointed by this experience. I know Walgreens is a clean and well-organized store with a lot of great products, but I hope staff can be more understanding, especially toward customers who may be going through things they can't see. Respect and calm communication can really make a difference.
