“I just adore this Pharmacy. I always feel like Family whenever I call or get my prescription. I wish we had more Mom & Pop type stores. A wide selection of products that aren’t normally found at a Pharmacy. The staff are really helpful and very quick.”
“I get my prescriptions here, and I can usually get them relatively quickly. They give me Chinese explanations that I can't read, so would recommend both English & Chinese. They have most of the basic toiletries & first aid that I need, and appreciate having a pharmacy in the neighborhood. You just need to go during business hours.”
“They are friendly, thoughtful, and provide easy to understand explanations to questions. I've gotten my COVID and flu vaccinations here and would highly recommend them.”
“It's the best pharmacy I've ever been to. They make you feel like if you're home on a name basis. You must give them a chance and they will prove you, right?”
“DR. CELESTE ALLEN is God's Angel! Truly & honestly. My kids have been seeing Dr. Allen for over 10+ years. She is attentive, caring, and truly an amazing person. They started seeing Dr. Allen when we lived in Oakland. We moved to Hercules & then Pittsburg and I still drive 30-45 minutes so they can see her. She is that good. My oldest daughter is now 23 and still sees Dr. Allen. She dreads turning 25 because she will not be able to continue as her patient. I have been holding off on writing this review because I really didn't want to share Dr. Allen but I'm realizing that others need her as well. DR. CELESTE ALLEN IS THE BEST!”

“The nicest pharmacy staff ever. Always call me when I need my Humira shipped. They always take care of any problems. I appreciate them so much. Literally I am lucky they care about their customer. I used to go to CVS and no offense to them but holy cow night and day difference. Crazy how customer service can go such a long way. With me being chronically ill, they make getting my Humira so less stressful and always on time”

6310 College Ave, Oakland“I started filling meds here after a few years of trying to make it work with Walgreens, CVS, and then Alto - all three of which consistently messed up orders with delays, system errors, lost orders, it was always something. This Safeway pharmacy was one of the last local pharmacies I hadn't tried yet. I was starting to wonder if I was just naive to expect a pharmacy should be able to fill medications consistently without constant issues. It turns out that's a completely reasonable expectation - which this pharmacy is able to meet. The staff is polite, knowledgeable, professional, and they treats their customers like human beings.”

5100 Broadway, Oakland“Staff here is great! Smiling, cheerful, polite, knowledgeable. Prices (use a coupon from GoodRx or another app!) are consistently lower than CVS or Walgreens. Drop your scrip then do your shopping while it’s filled!”
“I've always been a fan of mom & pop shops and this pharmacy in particular reminds me of an era where something as simple as refilling a prescription or buying a cold compress is on a more personal level. I stop by here regularly and the owner and pharmacist always greets me by name and generally remembers my order of allergy medication and electrolytes, and he is always willing to take the time to find the best product to match the customers needs. They can fill just about any prescription here and their prices are always competitive with Walgreens and Safeway. One of the greatest aspects of this place is their alternative solutions section, they offer a huge variety of herbal teas and roots that have been used for centuries to combat common everyday ailments like sleep deprivation and loss of appetite. If you try any of their teas, I highly suggest buying something with Valerian root, it not only helps improve mental wellness but also works great as a sleep aid.”

Even With my busy schedule with work And I just wanted to remind you guys that you really are helping save lives like mine. ?”
“Exceptional Service at Montclair Village CVS Pharmacy
I recently visited the CVS Pharmacy in Montclair Village and had an outstanding experience with the pharmacy manager (I regret I didn’t catch his name). From the moment I walked in, he was incredibly kind, helpful, and accommodating. His friendly demeanor and straightforward approach made the entire process smooth and stress-free.
This was a stark contrast to my experiences at the CVS Pharmacy on 41st Street in Piedmont Avenue, where I often encountered long waits and less attentive service.
Despite living in Grand Lake and not owning a car, the exceptional service at the Montclair Village location makes the bus trip worthwhile. I’m definitely planning to return!”

4184 Piedmont Ave C, Oakland“Everyone in this pharmacy has been helpful, kind, and extremely competent (more than I can say for some bigger box competitors!). I've always gotten questions answered quickly and they run things quite efficiently. I have to highly recommend the pharmacist from whom I have received my last two Covid vaccinations (and I'm sad to say I did not ask his name, but have learned through reading reviews his name is Andrew. Thank you Andrew!). He takes time to properly place the shot in your arm which can minimize soreness -- something I have never had another vaccine provider do. He throughly explains everything and I always walk away knowing a bit more than when I came in. Thank you Andrew and team!”

301 E 18th St, Oakland“Great shopping experiences here. We are living in tough times, were stores are closing and wages don't reflect the current cost of living. These workers arrive to this business everyday to help it remain in the community. A little kindness and compassion can go a long way for improving our own shopping experiences.”

3232 Foothill Blvd, Oakland“Growing up, I used to come to this, Walgreens, and it was always packed with things ❤️ ? ? This time around, multiple years later, I noticed many of the isles were unstocked and empty ? The floors were a bit scuffed and the energy was low. I came to the pharmacy to pickUp a prescription and after a few attempts was able to get my order filled.What happened to the vibe?”

“I was suffering from pneumonia and doctors gave me asthma and the meds to go along with it. I've never had asthma in my life. I was taking five different meds, I was overweight, my entire body was retaining water, and I couldn't stop coughing. I found out about Draline Tong Herb. I went in and had my blood pressure taken, they man looked at my hands/fingernails, eyes and tongue. He asked a few vital questions and wrote out a remedy and told me to come back in a week and tell him how great I was feeling. And that's exactly what I did. This guy is the truth. I lost 10 pounds and three inches all over my body. Stopped taking the meds and was like a brand new person. Don't let this be your last resort, forget the mainstream doctors... they're practicing. Natural healing herbs work! Thank you!”
