Paul -- in one word -- customer service at its absolute finest!
Professional, knowledgeable, kind, caring, friendly (and so much more)...he patiently answered my questions and concerns (Medicare!) and it seemed like I was his only customer.
Watsonville Pharmacy hit the jackpot with him -- thanks again, Paul!

I was waiting over an hour for a prescription ready for pick up text or a call and never received one. I went in to ask directly if the prescription was ready for pick up, it was. I made sure they had my number before hand so I don’t know why they didn’t text or call me. With every visit, their eyes tell me they are dead inside but I don’t really expect them to fake a cheerful smile on their faces but I do expect them to at least be competent. My day started off good but was soured by this visit... I might be just harsh so take this review with a grain of salt.

Have worked with this pharmacy since the beginning with my adult residential facilities. They have always been responsive, helpful and professional. I have recently switched my personal meds as well as my husbands meds there and have found the transition seamless and easily managed. I prefer to support local businesses and Watsonville Pharmacy has not disappointed.

AWESOME customer service. Rachel in particular was incredibly helpful and kind. I ran out of one of my son’s medical items. I called a medical pharmacy in Santa Cruz and had to call three times to speak with someone who could help me. When I finally got ahold of the person she said she needed today check and would call back. I never heard from her.
When I called Watsonville Pharmacy, they connected me right away with Rachel. She placed me on a brief hold, got back on and told me it was in stock. Because of my son’s medical condition, she took all the information over the phone and then they

I try to shop local but this place always disappoints. I went to get some dressing and wrap for my foot. You would think seeing someone limping around you might get some help. Nope, this has happened before but I foolishly went back. The girls were unfriendly at the register too! I will make the drive to Santa Cruz and go to Horsnyders.

I went in here because it was recommended by a friend. I broke my tailbone and needed a donut cushion for my chair. I went in and they had a cushion but it wasn't a donut one. It did say it was for coccyx support which is what I needed but the cushion did not work for me. I called right away to ask if I could return it and they said because it has been opened, they could not take a return. Of course not, simply because it had been opened to test out, which is ridiculous. How would I know if it would work for me if I didn't get to try it? A waste of $35 for nothing. Needless to say I&apos

I give these guys a hard time but most of my many meds are ready on time and I love that they deliver. I'm not in their service area but they made an exception and deliver all my meds to me on a monthly basis. Their medical supplies guy is great and got me walking with my first walker. He was sensitive, caring and really helped me through this scary process.

I am switching to Watsonville Pharmacy just as soon as I can get my doctor to send in my medication list. The two scripts I brought in were filled with a smile. All the clerks were busy but they were organized and handled everything extremely well. They had time to introduce themselves and the pharmacists were friendly and professional. I called and a person answered the phone quickly and took care of me, no problems at all. Watsonville Pharmacy delivers if you need that service....free! They have a great selection of lift chairs, shower chairs and all kinds of first aid products. I picked

5 phone calls no answer let it continue to be on hold until the phone system said there was an error and they dropped me. Tried to call again and push the Spanish language button and had the same thing happen again and again and again and again. They might be closed today at 4 p.m. on a Thursday butt at this point it doesn't seem likely.

This pharmacy is the worst. Don't bother. The clerks spend more time talking to each other than waiting on the customers waiting in the super long lines. The clerks think nothing about waiting on someone who just walks up to them , making those in line wait even longer. Don't bother. No customer service at this place. Too bad.

I have been going to watsonville pharmacy for 2 years now and I have never had a bad experience. You never wait more than 10 minutes for your prescriptions and people know your name. They have a lot of different and hard to find products in there. All of the employees have been nothing but friendly and competent towards me. I love this place.

I work with a local clinic that serves a wide range of patient types, including private pay, MediCal, Medicare. I have to say that Watsonville Pharmacy has gone above and beyond for ALL of our clients since they first opened a few years ago. They are always willing to help us on the phone as well - when we are trying to help people navigate their complex insurance challenges. They even have home delivery service available for folks who can't get out.
For customers who have experienced les than friendly service, I would recommend you make a mental note of the name of person who helped you

Not 5 stars because of the "I hate my job" attitude of the register clerks.
Too bad, because it is wonderful to support an independent business .
I NEVER want to have to go into a big box store ( rite aid is so wrong!) and schlep all the way to the back of the store to be treated rudely. It's a lot easier to be treated rudely at the small local place.
Give the clerks some customer service training and it would be a perfect place!

I have been treated with only vague and unfriendly disregard.
If you need a working relationship with your pharmacist, as I do, DO NOT GO HERE!!
I was only given access to an actual pharmacist when I complained for the 4th time about something, then I was given the most rude of apologies "I'm sorry you feel that way". EXTREMELY POOR SERVICE.
Defensive and unhelpful all the way around.

I love this place. Everyone in the pharmacy is professional, courteous and have, over the past six years, gone above and beyond to make sure that I had my medications. I've come in with emergency orders at 5 mins before closing...they handle it like champs. It's the kind of family run business that you wish no one else knew about. It's that good. The only reason I'm sharing the info with yelp is because it seems that the secret is already out. Over the years, the waiting area has started to fill and now I'm seldom in there alone. It's the kind of place that
