I used to frequent this pharmacy because it's located in the same building as my OB-Gyn and my son's GI doctor.  Not only was it convenient, but they validated parking.  I went there for years and endured the LOOOOOONG waits (even when I called my refills in ahead) because I thought that the convenience of not having to drive somewhere else and saving money on parking was worth it.  Unfortunately, the last time I was there, the pharmacist brought my son's prescription in liquid form, though his doctor told me that it would be in capsule form.  When I asked the pharmacist about it, he was very condescending and when I asked questions, he started shouting at me like I was some sort of idiot.  Needless to say, I told him to keep his medicine and promptly transferred my family's prescriptions to a pharmacy closer to my home.

When I went to pay for the prescription at the new pharmacy, I was charged nearly $10 less than what Mission Medical Pharmacy had been charging me.  So the money I save in gas and in drug costs greatly offsets what I saved in parking for the past 3 years.  Don't waste your time at Mission Medical Pharmacy -- it's totally not worth it.

I think that might be a really long drive from North Carolina.

Small world! I was at a small pharmacy and usually like the Mom & Pop approach. CVS is good about that even if a big company. They know me when I go in and are always nice. The drive through was what sold me on trying them though.

That's actually the pharmacy where I transferred all my prescriptions! I've been pleased with them so far and their prices are a lot lower.

If you have CVC out there, I really like them. The big plus is a drive in pick up window. I just them off and drive through later to pick stuff up.
