I recently have found this little gem of a pharmacy. The people who work here are very nice, helpful and it actually looks like they love their jobs. Thank you to all who work here at the Central Drugs in La Habra.

I live in SF and get a prescription filled through Central Drugs that I can't get anywhere up here, and they are GREAT! Every single customer service person I've ever spoken with is helpful and pleasant. Today, Denise went above and beyond to help sort out an insurance issue. Once, they helped get my Rx shipped to a Vintage Trailer resort in Oregon, and helped troubleshoot the delivery issues with FedEx...They are awesome. Shipping is timely and they offer an inexpensive 2-day option if you are in a pinch. If you require a special med, get it from Central Drugs!!

Do not get your COVID vaccine here. The person administering the vaccine did not change their gloves before giving me the vaccine. Said person was wearing the gloves at the reception area, touching things there, then never changed it when they got to me. Also everyone in the front wears gloves and I have no clue if they are ever chang them after touching everyone's IDs and credit cards. I'd prefer if they just didn't wear gloves and used hand sanitizer in between customers.

This pharmacy is horrendous. Last month I order medications through their automated dial-in system. A day or two later, I get a phone call telling me the prescriptions are ready to be picked-up. However, when I arrive, I'm told they couldn't fill all of the prescriptions. Why wasn't I informed of this during the phone conversation. Now, this month, I go to pick-up a prescription only to be told the pharmacy is unable to fill it because a particular drug is on back order. Okay, that happens. But, then I'm told I was called and so informed. Unless that call was made in the 1:45
