Ocean Park Pharmacy

Love this place! So much better than the chains!

A great local business. Bob is awesome. So is the rest of the staff, which I don’t think has really changed since I first started coming here about 7 or so years ago. Walk-​in prescriptions are filled within 5 – 15 minutes. A real dying breed.
The parking can be a bit nasty, but they have no control over this.

Small pharmacy but quick and easy. They have the same copay as all other pharmacies but does a better job keeping everything in stock.
Extra bonus: I always buy my greeting and special occasion cards there because they have a wide variety to look through while you wait for your meds. They’re hilarious and pretty unique. They also rotate their cards as relevant for the holidays and have good seasonal stock.
Bob is an awesome pharmacist.

They are a dying breed; small scale, personal, and professional. They provide a level of service you are not going to get from CVS or mail-​order. There is very low turnover amongst the staff, so you’re not starting from scratch every time you go there. They recognize you and take initiative to help out whether it is about a prescription or finding something in the store. In addition, they have the best greeting card selection, ever!!!

Wonderful, friendly customer service. They will go the extra mile for you, for example nagging your doctor’s office to send over your prescription. You’d be nuts to go to a big box pharmacy when OP Pharmacy is around.

The last couple of times I called to refill a prescription they’ve said it was ready and I came in and it wasn’t even ordered. I always have to wait and shouldn’t have to call twice to make sure my medication is ready.

Color me shocked.
My new insurance didn’t cover a brand name medication so they called my doctor and asked for a new prescription that had a generic version available. Saved me $ 90 per month and didn’t have to do a thing.
Can’t recommend OP Pharmacy highly enough. Truly thankful for people like this.

Over priced goods

EXCELLENT customer service. I work right next door and have three monthly prescriptions that they fill for me. My Dr. is a pain about the refills but every month the staff here patiently call him and get me my refills on time. Occasionally they have even provided a few pills so I don’t have to skip a day when the Dr. doesn’t call back.
The pharmacist and his staff are all warm, professional, kind people. Support this local business!

Great Prices, great pharmacists, nicest people in the world. Extremely fast and accurate. I love this place. Those huge pharmacy chains are nightmares to deal with compared to this gem.

Best local pharmacy. I love bob he is the best! All of the staff is wonderful here and they are super quick and have easy parking, I definitely recommend ocean park pharmacy!

Excellent service and great customer care.
Getting the prescription to pick up process is very quick and easy. Your doctor can fax the prescription to them and the meds will be ready soon after.
And best of all, the pharmacist is very caring and willing to listen to you and answer every question you may have. He’s very kind and nice it’s relieving to talk to him about your symptoms and medicine.

Excellent pharmacy with great customer service. I used to fill my prescriptions at CVS, where there was always a long line of disgruntled customers, and I couldn’t get any questions answered by their impatient, unfriendly staff members. I do need to drive a bit farther to get to Ocean Park Pharmacy, but it’s worth it for an enjoyable experience. As advertised, co-​pays are the same (or a tad lower, in the case of two of my rx) as in chain stores.
Bonus: there’s a vegan grocery store right next door, where I can pick up some free trade coffee and healthy snacks if I need to wait a few minutes for my prescriptions.

Bob is an excellent pharmacist. Very patient and caring. Always offers great advice. Don’t know what else to say that hasn’t already been said.

A great local store. I am a big fan of local businesses. I buy my greeting cards here as there is a nice selection. The clerks are always helpful. I mainly come here to pay my utilities bills and for my lottery needs. Utility cash payments are accepted up until 4 pm. The counter for that is to right of the entrance. Left side counter is for pharmacy and regular purchase.
There is a good size lot and it is next to Viva La Vegan. The lot can get busy but I never had a problem finding a spot, just be patient.
My rating isn’t for the pharmacy as I have never used it. I will update.

I’ve been to this pharmacy once at the time of reviewing. I’m never going back to a chain again, they hooked me immediately. The staff is the FRIENDLIEST I’ve encountered, not just comparatively to other pharmacies, but in any retail location. They will ask you if you have anything to ask regarding your medication instead of assume you don’t have questions or have taken it before. The focus is on the relationship with the patients (who the staff know on a first-​name basis generally) and not on the turnover of prescriptions filled per shift or however other pharmacies quantify their employees performance.
Being a mom and pop shop, they don’t necessarily have what you need or the quantity of it on hand. That alone docks a star off the rating… except… staff to customer relations are so important (not because of a desperation to stay competitive or have returning customers — they don’t even offer a loyalty card like EVERY chain does; but because they truly care for the health of their customers) they will go out of their way to make sure it’s available for you when needed, given enough notice. I called about a Subutex prescription my doctor was to call in and have me fill the next day, and it was not in stock. Distressed, I thanked him for checking anyways and he sensed the importance of this situation, then immediately…
«Wait. How many is he going to call in? I’m already preparing the order and need to know how many bottles to expedite overnight. You still need this by need this tomorrow, right?»
No. Freaking. Way. The pharmacist did not consider the profit loss or gain but simply that i get the medication in time. Going to work on my prescription with no guarantee ill show up to make this expedited order worthwhile besides my word over the phone, he went above and beyond any expectations I’ve ever had of a pharmacy.
Understanding.
Compassionate.
Knowledgeable.
Trustworthy.
Friendly.
Reasonable.
I don’t think i can say all of the above for any other business I know of let alone all the employees. I’m now heading there with my $ 10 copay in hand to pick up the medication that’s saved my life, from the pharmacist that’s saved my time. I’m sure I will return in the future.
Everybody within ten miles of this pharmacy who is anything but extremely pleased with their current pharmacist, give them a call. You won’t regret it.

Fast, reliable, friendly and personable service. I feel good supporting this business, but I go because I get better service than at any of the chains.

I have no idea why I suffered for years through long lines and terrible service at CVS when I could have been going to Ocean Park Pharmacy all along. Everyone who works at this pharmacy is cool and awesome to deal with. They’ll do all the annoying stuff like call your doctor or call your old pharmacy to transfer your prescription. As a bonus, they also have a great greeting card selection.
The vibe is friendly and chill. You call for a refill, and rather than get a cold robo-​phone-​system where you have to enter your Rx number, you get a nice person who says hello, you tell her who you are and what you need, and she says we’ll have it ready in a few. Then when you go over, they open their Mead notebook where you sign next to the X they just wrote in there.
So, stop going to CVS, go to Ocean Park Pharmacy instead, and instantly make one little part of your life stress-​free :)

I really like Ocean Park Pharmacy, it’s an old timey type pharmacy store that you might see in the midwest. The people are friendly, and they have all sorts of random little things and gift items for purchase.
The one thing I would say is that they could be a bit better with confidentiality, and be sure not to call out names of medications that are being filled, or ask a person when they are waiting ‘for the (insert name of medication)”. I have seen this happen a few times to me and to others, so that could definitely use improvement.
Overall though I still use them regularly.

I decided to boycott Walgreens and CVS forever! Those places are like pill mills and the wait-​time and attitude isn’t worth it to me.
I found this place on Unilocal and decided to give it a try. Bob Rosen is hands down the best pharmacist EVER and the service is excellent. I can’t imagine going anywhere else.
It’s a mom and pop type place with all kinds of cool little gifts you can look at while you’re waiting.
Stop giving money to the big corporate pharmacies who don’t care about you at all.
When I walk into Ocean Park Pharmacy, Bob says hello and asks how I’ve been. That, my friends, is what they call excellent customer service! Very hard to find these days.
