Online commerce is developing every year. Many local stores in San Diego open their sites to keep up with current market trends. Pharmacies, in this sense, are no exception. Due to the high competition, prices for ED drugs are decreasing, but only online. On the contrary, prices in local pharmacies are growing due to the costs of renting and maintaining premises and paying staff. Therefore, it is much more profitable to buy medicines online, and it is much easier to choose the right one by evaluating the rating and reviews of other buyers.

After waiting in line at Walgreens for 45 minutes to get a shingles shot just to find out that they have a policy that you must be over 65 years of age to get a shingles shot or a doctor’s prescription, it’s a corporate policy. My husband came down with shingles at age 62, and I needed to get the vaccine. I went to Balboa Pharmacy with no waiting and no prescription needed. I am 58 years of age. Great customer service! They also are the only compounding pharmacy in town. They are a real home town business. Which is nice to have in this small town.
Had a prescription called in here today, arrived at 10:08 am to pick it up. The pharmacist was extremely rude, yelling at me as I walked up to the counter we just opened. It’s not ready. So I had a seat and basically waited for someone to tell me that they weren’t ready to start work today. I have been coming here for almost 10 years, guess it’s time to find a new Pharmacy.

We have had a great service getting my son’s compounded prescription filled. If we call ahead as they request, they always have it ready when we get there. The staff works as fast as they can through the line. It is sometimes annoying when I forget to call a day ahead, but that is my fault, not theirs…
Carmel Valley Pharmacy is the worst pharmacy I have ever had to deal with. The lines are worse than CVS. The fill prescription wrong or not at all. The return meds back to stock after 7 days. They are never helpful and impossible to get to. The absolutely worst pharmacy and ridiculous to even try to deal with.

I had called in my prescription and was told that it would be ready by 3:45, I got there at 4:00 and was told it would take 10-15 minutes for them to get my prescription ready despite the fact that it should have been ready 15 minutes prior. So I waited longer, yeah, it took another 40 minutes. It was generic birth control, and I had been getting refills from this pharmacy for months.
Ralphs Pharmacy is a great little pharmacy on the north edge of town. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the pharmacist staff more than knowledgeable. I have known the head pharmacist (and owner of the pharmacy) here for over a decade, and he has always been more than helpful in so many ways. I take several medications on a monthly basis, and I can’t count the times he has helped make sure I get the meds I need and save me money if it’s possible. They even offer delivery when you need it at no charge. I have read some of the negative reviews of Mekason pharmacy. I just find some of the actions described are so out of character from my experiences that they are hard to believe. I’m not saying those reviewers are posting exaggerated stories, but after being a customer for a long time, and being in the store on countless occasions, I have never seen any actions by any staff member that even comes close to the actions described by those negative reviews. All I know is that they are a “small-town pharmacy” with personal customer service that offers high tech ways of helping you keep track of your medications and costs in the comfort of your home. If you’re tired of standing in line at Walgreens or Walmart for medications, give them a try one time, I think you’ll be more than pleased.

ViaQX pharmacy is beyond great. The staff and owners are very nice. The pharmacy Techs are super friendly. They care about the individual and provide a comfortable environment. I’ll never go back to a pharmacy chain like CVS or Walgreens. I much rather support local family businesses and receive great customer service. Keep up the great work, Viaqx, and thank you.
Over the top is all this place knows​ how to do. The staff always have a smile on their face. And most of all, this place is truly a blessing to the community that they serve.
