Had a appointment for my second dose of the covid vaccine and they refused to give it to me. A GOVERNMENT issued appointment at this location and they REFUSED to give it to me. CDC even says that you can get the second dose 4 days before or after the 3 week mark.

HORRIBLE!! DO NOT USE FOR COVID TESTING!!!! I had to get a rapid covid test for an event. I booked an appointment online on Saturday for Monday. On Sunday, I found a place that does it for free (orange county covid clinic - GO THERE INSTEAD). I tried calling to cancel my appointment on Sunday but they are closed. I sent an email reply to the email address that sent the confirmation. I called first thing in the morning on Monday to confirm the cancellation. They said they didn't get an email and I would get charged a $25 late charge fee. They said they cancelled the appointment and I called

Independent pharmacies are the way to go. Corporate pharmacy has broken ethical and safe standards and overall human interaction at this point. Also, they have no time to have a human interaction. You can find a personal experience here.

Customer Lacking for Healthcare Provider
If less than 1 star were available, this place deserves it. They are the worst, UNLESS you like spending unnecessary time on the phone, being passed around from person-to-person, being talked down to while the next person repeats the same thing that the last person said, having to repeat yourself/answer the same questions you already answered. (Not a joke. Happened on more than one occasion.) And don't be fooled by "ADVERTISEMENTS FOR FREE DELIVERY" (That's only if your insurance pays enough for the med or equipment.) For most, the delivery service charge
