Walgreens

When I use to live in Studio City, this was my go-​to Walgreens. The staff here have always been exceptionally friendly. There’s always been a great selection to choose from, and they’ve never been out of stock. The manager is really nice and always remembered me which was lovely. The pharmacy was wonderful as well! I never had any issues with long waits or unfriendliness. All and all, it’s a great store!

Great service, and good selection. Very helpful pharmacists!

We come to this store several times a month with our daughter and enjoy the experience. She walks around shopping like a big girl; and it’s adorable. My wife bought a toy for $ 6.37 and left it at the store. She went back the next day with the receipt so get it back but the manager on duty had to check the video tape; which took forever. So we had to leave because we didn’t have 20 minutes to scroll through the tape. This happened several more times, eventually we went on a day when we had Romeo wait. Guess what?! We had left the toy there and they gave us a new one. As a manager I m ow you get a certain amount of comps. Why waste our time and yours. And the manager was negative about it.

I am giving Walgreens Pharmacy 5 stars. I have stage IV colon cancer and have been getting my many prescriptions filled at this pharmacy for the last 12 months. One of the doctors at Cedars Sinai, where I am getting my treatment, told me that this Walgreens is unusual and behaves like a small town pharmacy. They call with questions and care about their customers. They pay attention. When I walk in they know my name and say hello and always ask how I am doing. Their email service and automated prescription refill works really well. When you are sick it’s the little things going smoothly that help make your life easier. Thank you Walgreens.

Was accompanying a friend to pick up his prescription, my friend needed to have a printout of his year to date expenses and was told no problem and that it would take just a minute. Exactly that, she handed him the print out and asked if there was anything else !!! Now that’s GREAT service !!

This Walgreens is pretty bad. Had a prescription called in by my doctor– went in 4 times and only once was it actually ready for me. The other 3x’s they said I waited too long (2 – 3 days) and they ran out so it wouldn’t be available until a few days later. After the third time I said forget this and went back to CVS where I usually get my prescriptions and have never ever ever had a problem, not only does CVS send me text alerts and reminders to pick it up– the service is fast and I’ve never had an issue getting it filled even if I wait longer than 2 – 3 days. Oh well Walgreens.

This Walgreens location has the most helpful pharmacists I’ve ever dealt with. I don’t live in the neighborhood but it’s worth the drive.

Super friendly. Accommodated and worked extra hard to get scripts to me from out of state.

Normally I don’t review drug stores. But, I gotta say that the customer service at THIS Walgreens was amazing! They went out of their way to be helpful and friendly, including the pharmacist as well as the counter staff. I’ve never previously had any kind of service at a Walgreens. This crew was a cut above.

Pharmacy staff is nice but very slow. For example I go for a pick up i have two people ahead of me. Ok I wait 10 mins the clerk is still talking to one of the customers minding you we are all waiting. Ok 5 mins passes by & then someone else comes to help me. Ok so I give them my name & she goes to get my med. I’m waiting for her to hand me my med & all of a sudden she decides to help the person next to me & counseling her about her meds. Like I’m not even there. This has happened to me almost every time I come to get my meds. Nice & friendly staff but SLOW

After spending a whole day at the hospital I took my friend to pick up her pain prescription. This was the only store in the city that had the prescription in stock. The pharmacy manager told her that even though her name matched on the id he wouldn’t sell it to her because the address on the id was Arizona and the address on the prescription was in Cali where she had just left the er. Frustrated we came back with valid proof confirming her name and Cali address. There was a Hispanic tech working with brown hair a little over weight. First thing is that before we could even tell her that we had came back with valid proof she refused to get the manager for us and then lied and said he had left. Secondly she snapped at my friend who was in major pain and told her to «stop talking» and that «one person can talk» which is when my sick friend got irritated and said «what the hell kind of customer service is this». Lastly as my friend walked away the girl tech called her a «bitch». I have never seen worst customer service in my life!
*WORST PHARMACY EVER DO NOT GO HERE
* called after I left and the male pharmacy manager was actually still there
*would rather stick to the rite aid across the street

This Walgreens is absolutely great! It has a lot of space, plenty of selection, and everything is pretty organized and easy to find.
A lot of times with drugstores I feel that it can be very difficult to actually locate where anything is, and you spend a lot of time walking around aimlessly wondering what it was you originally came in for. NOT SO with this Walgreens! Everything is easy to find and is usually located in a place that MAKES LOGICAL SENSE! Take THAT every other drugstore ever!
Also, the actual Walgreens staff is exceptionally friendly! The people working the register always have a smile on their faces and seem genuinely happy to be there! There’s one gentleman at the front named Mel and Mel is absolutely great! Always has a smile on his face and a minute or two for some generally pleasant chit-​chat.
The private parking lot is also great! This way you don’t have to look for a place to park, or you aren’t sharing the parking lot with every other business on the block (I’m talking about you Rite Aid)
Now, I do feel that I have to somewhat explain why this Walgreens didn’t get 5 stars. And while this location is great, it does have some minor problems.
First of all, there’s a really weird situation going on with the doors that I don’t fully understand. There’s a door right on the corner of Ventura and Vineland, which if you’re walking up to the store looks like the best entrance, but it’s an entrance only, and half of the time it’s locked? I guess? So you’ll usually have to walk around to the back to get in, which can be a little frustrating.
Secondly, the actual pharmacy counter itself can be a bit of a hassle. They’re not always very helpful, and a lot of times you actually have to physically go in for them to actually check if they have a prescription in stock. But it all usually works out in the end. Also, they’re just not as friendly or helpful as the actual Walgreens staff. So, it probably wouldn’t normally be that noticeable but when you have the comparison of the other employees it just makes it that much more apparent.
So in summation, this Walgreens is a great location. Highly reccommend!

Was immediately greeted when I walked in. Grab a few items on my list and proceeded to check out. At the register, I saw a brochure about immunizations and I was going on a trip to Africa in a few weeks, so I asked the cashier a few questions about it. He showed me the brochure and didn’t have the answers, but gave me contact information so I could have all my questions answered. I really appreciated him doing that and not just saying he didn’t know and leaving it at that.

This Walgreens is aesthetically pleasing and for the most part the staff seems friendly. My issue is some of the pharmacy dept workers seem to lack good communication skills. They aren’t friendly and when having concerns with meds sometimes you need that person to listen and explain. I want to give them the benefit of the doubt and go back so I hope for a more positive experience in the future

I love this walgreens & pharmacy.
great customer service.
inventory is great — good snacks, misc items, cosmetics, everything.
cashiers are enthusiastic and welcoming (at least the guys who are working the register every time i enter).
pharmacy is usually open until pretty late– the only downside is that there is usually a single person working in the pharmacy, so service and pick-​up can be slow at times (almost every time i’ve gone…) BUT the sincerity and good service (when it is given) is great, so no big qualms about the wait :)
AH, NO liquor license, so they don’t have any alcohol in stock … … but, who needs to buy alcohol here when there’s a ralphs, a rite-​aid, and bars in the vicinity???
the establishment itself is pretty new, so you dont feel like you’re getting dirtier just being there and won’t get creeped out walking around.

They refused to check if they had a medication in stock. All because I wasn’t physically there to show them my prescription… you want me to drive all the way there when there is a chance you might not even have it? Makes sense.
CVS, on the other hand, was more than happy to oblige. Rite Aid took it a step further and they let me know another location that did have it– that ended up being only a few more minutes away.
Sorry, Walgreens. See you never.

There’s a RITE AID right across the street, but I prefer this Walgreens. It’s a little packed, but very organized and clean. They’re always well stocked and have great offers if you are a member. It doesn’t cost anything to join, basically just a rewards program.
I come here a lot to print photos off my iPhone… what should only take an hour as stated on the computer screen ends up taking much longer every time. I’ve come back even later than stated and my photos still weren’t done. I’ve never seen anyone using the computers since I’ve been going there so it’s hard for me to believe they’re THAT swamped. Is there an overwhelming amount of people dropping off film or using disposable cameras non-​stop?
Cashiers are friendly. My favorite one is an older gentleman who is always in such a great mood and really cool! We talk about tattoos :)
Also, there’s plenty of parking: meters along the street and free parking in the back.

This is hands down one of the nicest drug stores I’ve been in. It’s clean, organized, well stocked, and the employees are friendly, happy and knowledgeable. The line is never long and even when it is there’s a bunch of stuff surrounding you to look at.
I haven’t had a chance to really use this Walgreens for anything other than my prescriptions, but it’s definitely going to get my business over the Rite Aid across the street which is old, disorganized, dirty, and almost always has a five minute line.
The parking lot is a great size and I always find a great spot.
The pharmacists are smart and friendly people and I always get a person almost immediately when I call. You can get a $ 25 Walgreens card when you move your prescription over here, too!
All in all, I’m not easy to impress when it comes to drug stores, but this Walgrees is top notch.

Band new Walgreens located on Venura Blvd. Very compact but its very CLEAN and Organized!
The employees are very friendly.

I enjoy the fact that this isn’t Rite Aid. I pretty much view all of these stores in a similar light and haven’t acquired preferences shopping them, as I know some people do. I do however live in the area, and feel I have let the nearby Rite Aid have its run.
Anyone that has been to the Studio City, Rite Aid knows all to well how long the lines tend to be. And since I can’t enjoy the occasional tasty scoop of ice cream on a sugar cone; Rite Aid is gonna have to play second fiddle to Walgreens.
This Walgreens is brand new and has a nice parking lot. They seem too stock more than enough of the necessary items you’re looking for. Like a better variety of lotions, deodorants, first aid, nail polish… you get it.
While I was heading out of the store I spotted a display of t-​shirts for $ 3.99. I figured why not get a inexpensive well made t-​shirt. It will come in handy. Plus it sports a Studio City, Walgreens logo with a Hollywood theme. I mean sure, why not. The shirt is comfy and can make a souvenir for someone. Plus this seems to be the store I’m giving my loyalty to; so why not represent?
I think a new sheriff is in town and her name is Walgreens.
