Review by Kevin Jennier

We have recently been told by an employee at the store that the business has recently been sold to out of state (east coast) owners. The well-respected and well-liked previous owner, Diane, no longer owns nor operates the pharmacy. Instead the new owners have installed a man named "Eric" to run the pharmacy. Gone are the days of friendly and efficient service. Eric is lazy, rude, arrogant, unfriendly and unprofessional. Worst I have ever dealt with. In addition, the pricing policies are now very suspect. In addition, the new owners are apparently using photos of, and other information related to, the previous owner, Diane, to imply that the previous ownership is still in place. Seems like this might be fraudulent to us. WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT PATRONIZE THIS PHARMACY UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. There are other independent pharmacies in the area under local ownership where they want your business and will treat you well. One such business is Palm Desert Pharmacy on Hwy 111, where the owner is friendly, ethical and really cares about his customers.

The best pharmacy in the valley! Polite, speedy, friendly and prices are reasonable! The employees know you by name and help you with ANY questions you may have! I love this place!

Review by KING BLiZZY

I can never go to another pharmacy ever again. I use to go to CVS or Walgreens but I always had an issue getting my medication or having to wait hours just to pick up my script. Diane is amazing & the staff are always super friendly. Think the longest I’ve waited to get my meds is a couple minutes at most. Insurance is never an issue. If you want to pick up you medication fast or don’t want to deal with insurance issues this is the spot. I live in Indio so it takes me a good minute to get here but it’s sooo worth it. They also deliver. A++

Review by Fernando Perez

I love this pharmacy. Efficient and friendly always looking to provide the patient with the best cost. I changed business to this pharmacy hoping to avoid crowds and long waits. Mission accomplished!!!! They are also excellent at providing large quantities of certain medications that are utilized for office use. Jennifer P.

Review by In Sync

Excellent and prompt service. I also could discuss with the pharmacist about the list of my medications interaction. What a refreshing experience! It brings back memory of the nostalgic, local independent pharmacy, where the staffs greeted you by name, and understand your health challenges.

What is a Dispensary?

A dispensary is a store that sells special items or dispenses the specialized items. Cannabis or marijuana dispensariers started in the US some time in the early 1990’s when Dennis Peron opend the San Francisro Cannbis Buyers Club. Back then the cannabis dispensary faced a ton of hardships, but Dennis, his team and dream helped pave the future for all future recreational and medical cannabis dispensaries. In 2014 the first recreational dispensary, 3D Cannabis opened it’s doors in Colorado. As of 4-1-19 33 states have medical dispensaries and 10 states have recreational dispensaries.

At a dispnsary one will find many differnt kinds of cannabis flowers (buds) and concentrates, edibles along with smoking untensils, but have a limited selection compared to online shops like Elev8 Glass Gallery. The dispensary also will have what is called a budtender to help you find what you are looking for. If you need help with cannabis info Elev8 Presents is a good resource.

What is the difference between a medical or recreational dispensary?

In realtiy medical and recreational dispensaries are the same thing. This all comes down to the states laws on cannabis. We feel cannabis is just like alcohol and medical will happen first and then recreational will follow, and so far history is showing this. Dispensaries are an excellent place for patients and recreational smokers alike to find the cannabis that best suits their needs!
