Jefferson Plaza Pharmacy

This is why he is «retiring» — yet another filthy drug dealer peddling prescription drugs. Stop writing 5* reviews for this place. It is appalling that he was allowed to stay in business as long as he was.

Oh no! They were bought out by Rite Aid! Longer wait time on phone and mess up on my prescription already.

John Chan and all his associates at Jefferson Pharmacy are as good as it gets
My wife has several health conditions and needed medications prescribed by her doctors over the past 20 years and I have been to all the Pharmacies from Belmont to San Jose and John/​Jefferson Pharmacy are head and shoulders above the rest
1) typically carry items that take 2 weeks at other places
2) many time can fill RX in 10 minutes time while I get a soft drink next door
3) Can order any item we have RX for versus again many others, i need to stop at 3 others to complete doctors rx list
4) Very knowledgeable as to their use and what not to mix with
again I have been to Hospital Pharmacies, Walgreens, CVC, Rite Aide, Safeway, Costco you name it in 20 years and Jefferson Pharmacy are the best
I travel 30 miles
Happy customers

Good service, fast quick and good explanation on my medication. I have gone to other pharmacies like Walgreens and cvs and never had a pharmacist actually go over my daily habits that may effect medication. Thank you! The pharmacist here actually did and showed me they care about clients. Thank you!

Take my advice, because I learned the hard way: don’t even think about going to any other pharmacy if you live within 10 miles of Jefferson’s. I’ve become a devoted customer and don’t mind the extra 5 minutes because the service is so amazing.
There really is no substitute for good service, or a neighbourhood pharmacy who gets to know you so well they go to retrieve a waiting prescription for you the second you walk in the door.
I’ve tried Walgreens, CVS, and Pharmaca; Jefferson is the best!
The one small downside is that Jefferson has shorter hours, usually closing at 6:30, and they aren’t open on Sunday. HOWEVER, if they are out of a medication, they can order it for you and it will arrive the next day; the chain pharmacies to do as well (except for most opiod prescriptions, which they order a set number of each month, and refuse to order more if their stock runs out before the month’s end. To be fair, not all of the chain pharmacies have this practice, just the larger ones). When chain pharmacies order a medication, they don’t have Saturday or Sunday delivery; this means that is you get a prescription from your doctor on a Friday morning that the pharmacy does not carry or is out of stock, you won’t be able to get it until the following Monday. What’s so great about Jefferson is that they have Saturday delivery. That more than makes up for not being open on Sunday.
I guess it boils down to this: do you want the impersonal service of a pharmacy that is open longer, but is much more likely to have problems filling your medications timely, and communicating this to you, or do you prefer the warmth of another human being who recognises you, cares about your well-​being, and works hard to ensure you have an easy, timely, and hassle-​free experience. To say nothing of the importance of shopping local. Do you make sure your strawberries were grown locally? If so, why would you act any differently when it comes to getting products for your healthy?
So thank you, Jefferson’s. I can’t say enough good things about this pharmacy, except that they have a customer for life, and I will be filling all future prescriptions with them.

I rented a knee scooter for a month and bought a pair of forearm crutches. I used the crutches for about 5 minutes and lost my balance and fell. Did not use them again. When I returned my scooter, I asked to also return the crutches. Even though they were unused, the pharmacist would not take them back because more than 7 days had passed. I was not told of that policy when I purchased the crutches wanting to try them out. It would have been easy to take them back and resell them… –and have a happy customer. Unfortunately, greed won out,

Great service in person and on phone. Needed a knee caddy/​scooter when I broke my ankle and thought I might break something else trying to use crutches. They had good selection. Easy parking and store access for shopping with limited mobility.

This family-​run pharmacy is quick, efficient, friendly, and lucky for me, convenient. After years of waiting in lines and dealing with aloof employees at big places like Walgreens, it’s nice to have a local place that is so attentive and welcoming.
If you’re nearby, come and get your pharmacy needs met here, they’re fantastic.

There are not enough stars to give John and the entire Jefferson Plaza Pharmacy staff. He is amazingly quick, accommodating, courteous, attentive, and knowledgeable. The staff all recognize my family and are so pleasant to deal with. Mary called me just last month to make sure I knew a medicine my dr had prescribed might cause an allergic reaction for one of my kids! She actually took the time to check our record. I was so impressed. When my husband was deployed overseas, John offered to deliver our prescriptions. They can order many different over the counter items, and are prompt and reliable. Again, if more stars were only available…

I come here for work.
We just love Jefferson Plaza Pharmacy.
They attend well to our needs, as we have 11 individuals who get their prescriptions here.
They are;
— quick on ordering & filling
— attentive to getting a hold of your Dr to get more refills
— will get you an alternative medication quickly if they do not have it or if they are back ordered.
–they have a great selection of OTC, other medical items, & greeting cards, & gifts.
–John, Joseph, & Mary are such a pleasure to do business with.
Thank you for all that you do.

Thank God for Jefferson Plaza Pharmacy. My husband had surgery and he was feeling sick and he needed meds. Since I do not drive, it was hard to find someone who would deliver prescriptions on a Saturday. When I called their pharmacy, they were able to help me and deliver the meds for my husband and they were very friendly and were able to give me answers to all the questions that I had. I highly recommend this pharmacy.

These guys are the best: 1) timely service 2) knowledgeable staff 3) convenient location 4) continued attention until you get your RX filled. Believe me I worked in Pathmark pharmacy even before there was a Pharmacy technician degree. I have been to other pharmacies (chain of stores/​drive thru operations) where service is impersonal, the pharm tech. looks overworked and automatically says your prescription will take «a couple of hours.“One time one of those chain pharmacies even closed the door on me one minute before closing saying-«sorry, we’re closed” – typical chain pharmacy:– employees wanting to get home and not help customers. Not these guys at Jefferson Pharm-​this is independently owned – the pharmacist is the hardest working guy I know (not owned by a corporation) so they take care in your health and well being. – they will give you an honest time for pickup and will even see if your prescription is in stock. Lastly, for that important script for heart meds., etc. they’ll give you some tabs to hold you over the long wkd. Take it from me – they know what they’re doing-​Enjoy!

We needed help getting a wheelchair for a neighbor and the guys at Jefferson were honest and helpful. Thank you!

This is the pharmacy that Pathways Hospice used for my elderly father. Jefferson Pharmacy was quick to fill his prescriptions and there was no paperwork to fill out. They stock many items for old and disabled people. In other words they are a combination of a medical supply store and a pharmacy.

Both Joseph & John will bend over backwards to help you get what you need. They are quick curteious and always will to do what it takes.
