Community Pharmacy

This pharmacy is absolutely the best. Friendly staff that know you by name, when you call, a tech (or the pharmacist) answers. Can’t imagine going to a chain pharmacy after being here.

This review is long overdue. When i stopped going to Walgreens because Anthem was longer supported there i made the switch to this small friendly pharmacy. I wish I would have done it sooner. In the last few years they have bent over backwards to help with any kind of problem. They really do go out of there way to help you. I totally love the staff there. They are really the best. They almost feel like family. You really feel the love going there.

I can’t believe I did not come here till today !
What a nice place !
Peter is so professional and very nice.
Thank you for a great experience
Highly recommend it !

When I moved to the neighborhood, I was in need of a new pharmacy and I’m so glad I chose this one! While their hours aren’t as long as your typical Walgreens or CVS, the outstanding service provided by Peter and his staff make it worthwhile. They were extremely helpful in everything from transferring in my prescriptions, handling my change in insurance (twice) provider, and making sure everything was as easy as possible for me.
They carry your basic pharmacy items: vitamins, pain relievers, toothpaste, etc. I’m sad to leave them behind now that I’ve moved away. This place feels somewhat like a hidden gem.

…peter, the pharmacist, goes out of his way to make every encounter pleasant even when there is a problem with the insurance and/​or the doctor’s office… i recommend…

Who’d a thunk I’d like a pharmacy enough to review it, but these guys deserve acknowledgment for their fine work. We live in a world where goods and services are usually provided through a chain of events that invariably involve the mechanization and dehumanization of society in general. This pharmacy is unlike EVERY OTHER for the following reasons: They treat you as if you mattered. They remember you and your name. They’re willing to spend time on the phone w/​ass-​hole insurance company’s until whatever problem is worked out. The workers appear to fond of one another and so there’s a warm feeling you pick up on.
These may seem like little things but they are not.
As the world continues in the shitter because of greed, power and the ideas of separation and self-​importance, it’s nice, uplifting even to be treated well even in the midst of our most mundane tasks.
Thanks Community Pharmacy for not being a corporate giant and for retaining you humanity.

Peter Cruz and his staff are awesome! They are attentive, patient, and caring. Peter always puts in the extra effort to help you out. He is persistent and, quite honestly, brave, dealing with the insurance companies and their BS. I highly recommend Community Pharmacy!

Always professional, courteous and accurate with their scripts. very convenient in the mission. I can always walk in and be taken care of quickly. great place and independent.

This is my go-​to pharmacy. They are very friendly, helpful, and efficient. Bilingual too.

When Walgreens and Anthem got a divorce I picked Community Pharmacy. Hours are shorter, and once in a blue moon they have to order something and you come back the next day. However, they are not Walgreens (or Rite Aid or Costco), which is reason enough for five stars.
But they get five stars anyway, because they are awesome. You can tell how much they care. They greet me by name, and know my prescriptions. They are kind, and friendly, and patient, and professional.

Just moved in a few blocks away, and I seriously lucked out. This is precisely what a pharmacy should be: Friendly, helpful, quick, and run by neighborhood folks. If this is on your radar, come here before walgreens/​CVS/​etc.

New in town, I was looking for a local pharmacy. Walgreen’s didn’t take my insurance plan and referred me here. I’m grateful because now I’m a convert from the CVS’s and Walgreens of this world. [Sidebar: CVS robots in Boston still call me at 8 a.m. EST, 5 A.M. MY TIME, reminding me to refill prescriptions. GRRRR!]
This pharmacy is small and has excellent, friendly, personalized service. They helped sort out a complex prescription refill without any of the snafu’s I’m accustomed to from the chains.

This pharmacy is great. The employees behind the counter are very knowledgeable and considerate when it comes to your specific medicinal needs. Everyone I have encountered has treated me with the same respect as any other patrons who enter looking for their prescribed dosages.
This place isn’t very large and doesn’t carry everything anyone needs but for the efficiency and speed of their service it is well worth my 5 star rating.

Señor Peter Cruz provides superior customer service to the Latino community.
I am not Latino, but I came in Wednesday to look for some specialized medical equipment for a family member. Peter checked the availability of the equipment and was able to have it shipped to his pharmacy by 10 AM the next day.
Muchas gracias, Señor Cruz.

i like community pharmacy. it’s closer to my place than W and they carry all the druggage you would need without the distractions of snuggies, frozen foods, or christmas cards. plus, i was able to pick up my husband’s prescription, something i’m pretty sure i couldn’t do at W.
