Marina Del Rey Pharmacy

A great place to get my medications filled.
Super friendly and knowledgeable. And will fill while you wait in a timely manner!

In response to the review NIKKI, of the pharmacy’s Manager Angel, obliviously, you didn’t read it correctly. Once again, I said she was MISERABLE at her job, and most likely OUTSIDE of her job she would be a decent, happier person… people are extremely dissatisfied in their work environment, in this case it was painfully crystal clear… I understand the need to defend your friends, but a intelligent person would look at a situation with diplomacy and realize that if a customer went out of their way to write a negative review, who doesn’t normally write reviews, there is a TRUTH to what was being said. I am mother of beautiful twin boys, I don’t have time for pettiness, if something happened that merits a negative Unilocal review, you better believe, its the truth… oh and BTY, the medicine you were referring to me picking up, antibiotics for my very sick son… Feel better now? Or maybe just a bit embarrassed?

I’m new to Unilocal and happened upon this review of my favorite pharmacy, Marina Del Ray. I don’t usually write reviews and neither does another reviewer on here, named Rena. I think it’s a little coincidental that you don’t usually leave reviews but you went out of your way to leave a contradictory one about the manager, Angel. I have been coming here for years and Angel is always so pleasant and amenable, not just to me, but anyone who is there the same time as I. You yourself acknowledge that she is a nice person, but then you want to insult her by calling her «miserable and unhappy» and saying she spreads it to her staff? That’s quite slanderous of you and makes one wonder what kind of medication you’re picking up.

The pharmacists sometimes lie about losing your prescription just because they do not want to fill it. They question on why you are taking certain controlled medications and state that because of your age you should not need them. They will only fill a prescription if it’s coming from one of the doctors in that medical plaza. They put you on hold on for a long time and will not compromise with your needs.

By far the best pharmacy in LA. I like to support small businesses, and not horrible massive corporate conglomerates.
Customer service here is excellent. The space is very nice. It’s also on the water in MDR. First name basis.
Not sure what else to say. They’re a brilliant business.

Love love love Marina Del Rey Pharmacy. THE Best!!! The staff is very professional and kind! Especially the Manager Angel, she went out of her way spending a lot of time on the phone with my insurance to help me save money. Thank you! I really appreciate you! It’s great when the staff greets you by your first name after only seeing you a couple times. The pharmacy has also helped many of my local patients in MDR that have been going there for years! They are truly your neighborhood kind of pharmacy! Thank you also to Jim, Stacey and the rest of the wonderful staff.

Marina Del Rey pharmacy is the only place I get my prescriptions filled. Moving to the Marina, I just went to CVS because it seemed easy. ⁹⁄₁₀ times there was a huge line with rude people and rude pharmacists that didn’t seem to really care about you. It was like a drug assembly line there.
I needed a certain medication, so I went to Marina Del Rey pharmacy. It was so calm and pleasant, I went once, switched all my prescriptions, and never turned back. They are great! The people that work in their are top notch and they care about every single one of their customers.
I walk in and they know me on a first name basis, and they were amazing when I had to switch insurances. I couldn’t thank them enough.
And on a personal basis, they have gone above and beyond the call of duty to make sure I had my medications on time. When they talk about having a «family neighborhood pharmacy,» Marina Del Rey pharmacy is the place to go.

When three other pharmacies in the area were out of stock of my medicine, this pharmacy really pulled through. Parking was super easy and 30 minutes free! I will definitely be back.

Great customer service, the manager Angel was an angel! Great prices also! Plus they validate parking!!!

Super helpful pharmacy that’s basically the anti-​CVS in terms of service. Nice, knowledgeable staff, free 30 parking with validation and QUICK! It’s never been crowded on my multiple visits.

Bad costumer service.
Not friendly at all. The lady at the cash register is extremely rude and don’t you dare asking her a question about your insurance, she’ll snap at you in a very passive aggressive way. But the message is clear. She doesn’t care.

Need to work on customer service! Used to be better?

I’ll take my business elsewhere. Worst customer service EVER. Bought a defective product and tried to exchange it and their attitude is that it’s my fault for buying a faulty product rather than making good on the fact they sold me a faulty product to begin with.

Small quirky pharmacy but the staff make this a great place as they’re always friendly and fast. There never seems to be too much of a wait and if you call your refill orders in they’ll get you in and out in just a few minutes. I don’t expect much from a pharmacy and you don’t get much from any of the big pharmacies close-​by. Here they make you feel like you’re valued and your time is important.

Marina del Rey Pharmacy is the best! They carry items that other pharmacies do not carry. good quality items too. Best service.

This place used to be great, but they now have the RUDEST manager I have ever met. Everything is a problem for her. You would think I asked her to give me a pedicure when I asked her to have a prescription transferred there. She seems to HATE her customers and her job. I used to get my prescriptions filled there twice
monthly. Since this woman arrived, there is an very hostile vibe and I go somewhere else. Always.
No one needs a smackdown at the pharmacy. Try Drug Town in Santa Monica. They still have good service.

I absolutely love this pharmacy!!! It is the best mom and pop pharmacy around. The staff knows your name as soon as you walk in the door. Jim the owner is awesome. He has a wonderful crew working for him. They can order medications for the same day if they don’t have it in stock. They deliver if necessary. You will be in and out in no time and they validate parking.
I felt it was necessary to post this comment in defense of my pharmacy family as they were just attacked. First thing that she needs to understand is that CVS, Costco and other chains can charge cheaper for the drugs they dispense because they pay less because they buy in large bulk for all of their stores. Small pharmacies pay much more because they buy in smaller quantities. This is why small pharmacies don’t exist anymore.
I know each and everyone of the employees at this pharmacy and they are the most loving people that I have met. They take the time to listen to me and know all of my children by name. They even give treats to Dogs for goodness sakes. I totally believe in treating people the way they treat me so if anyone in this pharmacy had the need to get hostile, aggressive or yell at you I’m sure you must have done something to deserve it. I alway love it when people start stuff then they are shocked when they are put in check. I would love to hear the whole story about what happened with Sharone L. I have witnessed everyone in there be talked to like crap by customers that feel that they have right to do this because the «customer is always right» and I don’t agree with that at all. I even interjected once when a customer was losing it one day. I wish the employees at Macy’s, CVS, Ralph’s and other stores could set the customers straight when they are out of line.

This Pharmacy gets our highest rating: «As Good As It Gets,» because it does what Target, Walmart, Costco, Ralph’s, Vons, Albertsons, CVS, Walgreens, RiteAid, and all other independent Pharmacies in California can’t seem to do: Sells the Original, and Best Underarm Deodorant for Men on the market for many years running: ARRID XX DRY ROLL-​ON ANTIPERSPIRANT DEODORANT.
Go ahead – try to find the ARRID ROLL-​ON anywhere in California, and let me know if you are successful! (You will find the sticky stick, and the gassy spray, but never the ROLL-​ON.)
If you are in NYC, the ROLL-​ON is all over and super popular – but in Southern California – only the small circular MDR Pharmacy sells it. Go figure?
PS. You get 30 minutes free validated self-​parking next to the store.

Grate service, plenty of parking, nice staff real friendly and helpful.
keep up the good work.

A great local antidote to the extensive waits and incompetence at CVS. No line, I was helped immediately, it only took 5 minutes to transfer my prescription and get it filled. Support and save our local small business pharmacies! Marina Del Rey Pharmacy rocks.
