I've been doing regular business with El Tejon for many years, and having my items shipped to me for close to 5 years. Their online service works flawlessly; I don't believe I've experienced one instance where it hasn't. I get calls directly from the pharmacist if there will be any delays, so we can work out what to do. Everyone there has been nothing but courteous and helpful all these years. I should also add that I'm still using El Tejon, and not a pharmacy closer to where I live, because they compound my items in a way that I prefer, which my local compounding pharmacy will not. Can't recommend

They are always so kinda and patient. I suffer for anxiety so the fact that they have an app where I can easily just get my medication refilled is so convenient for me. I haven't had a bad experience with them and every time something changes with my medication they make sure to inform me. Best service I have ever gotten from a pharmacy!
