Ben is the absolute best you could ask for from a Pharmacist. He is knowledgeable, he knows his patients, and he and his entire staff go out of their way to make filling your prescriptions as easy as possible. They deliver if needed and they've always handled everything with refilling any Rx smoothly and have truly made my life easier. This place is night and day from a mega-pharmacy like CVS where no one cares, you wait forever, and they constantly create hassles. I moved years ago from TO to LA County and still use Ben/North Oaks because of how great they are.

Ben is the best pharmacist! He's both knowledgeable and friendly. He truly cares about his customers and goes above and beyond to provide great service. He greets my husband and I by name every time we come in. It's the little things, you know? He's also given us some information on vaccines for our international travel which was super helpful!

Ben and his staff are absolutely amazing! We have never felt more cared for at a pharmacy. The service is impeccable and it is clear that they truly care for their customers. My husband was discharged from the hospital late and Ben stayed open just so he could get the medication he needed. Each time a prescription is ready Ben or his staff personally calls me to let me know its ready. BEST pharmacy in town!
