"We (spouse and I) never had a need for a compounding pharmacy before as we have our typical prescriptions automatically refilled via another company. However, when our family need one-off prescriptions filled (after urgent care visits, etc.), we tend to go to either CVS/Walgreens and the likes.

Yesterday evening, after a Pediatric Urgent Care visit for our kiddo, we were given a prescription that was sent to CVS inside Target. They then told us they can't fill it and we need to go to a main store like CVS/Walgreens that is a standalone brick and mortar store (meaning not inside another store). After calling several nearby CVS/Walgreens standalone stores, no one can fill the prescription. Finally, someone mentioned to us that we need a "compounding pharmacy".

We Yelped for a compounding pharmacy and called Diablo Pharmacy, which was still open. Unfortunately, Diablo Pharmacy had one of the main ingredients listed in the prescription in powder form, which isn't the liquid form called out in the prescription (that's a no go for us since the Urgent Care physician confirmed the powder form wouldn't be as effective).

Although we didn't fill our kiddo's prescription with this pharmacy due to one ingredient needed that wasn't an exact match as the one prescribed, we felt that this business deserves the five star rating. They were great to work with and for that, we're grateful for."

"My dad goes to this pharmacy, and I'm writing this review on his behalf. PJ Jahan, one of the pharmacists here, is truly one of the best we've ever worked with. On multiple occasions, there were issues with my father's prescription refills, and PJ consistently went above and beyond to make sure my dad received his medication on time. His dedication, kindness, and professionalism made a stressful situation so much easier for our family. I sincerely hope his leadership recognizes his value--he absolutely deserves it, and honestly, a promotion too!"

"P.J. is great and open till 7pm (very helpful). Downstairs from urgent care which made it very convenient! I highly recommend this pharmacy! My insurance was welcomed too!"

"PJ goes above and beyond to service the needs of his clients/patients. He finds way and means to deliver on a timely manner and make all transactions easy and smooth sailing.
Thank you PJ and Diablo Pharmacy for your consistent care and service."

"I have been going to this pharmacy for 3 months now. I drive 30 miles just for the great customer service that PJ provides. He always greets me with a smile and good conversation."

"PJ The owner is amazing and has helped me time and again with my insurance. Anything I need! Much better service than I could ever get from a chain pharmacy. Highly recommend!!"

"Amazing that there's a pharmacy that really cares about you.Would you rather talk to an experienced pharmacist
About your meds or deal with the Giants staffed by uncaring people.PJ knows his stuff and truly cares about you. This is the only place I'm going to from now on.This is a family business.Im so glad I found this place.People need to understand the liabilities the these people deal with.Thats why many are hands off. If your lucky you will be able to use these people"

"Outstanding and very personal service . Outdoes any other pharmacy in the area . PJ is friendly and bends backwards to help my patients. All other larger retail pharmacies, especially the Pharmacists, need to get an education on how to speak on phone with doctors and patients who call them on phone ."

"This is by far the best pharmacy around. Excellent Personalized Service. PJ (The Owner) always welcomes you with open arms. It is the most pleasant experience you will ever encounter. He's simply the best !!!!
I highly recommend getting all your prescriptions here. You will never go elsewhere."

"PJ is the best. We were recommended by our pediatrician and he is really amazing when it comes to working his 'magic' so you don't pay those crazy prices on prescriptions even when the insurance companies may want to screw you over. He was able to get our prescription down to $100 less than what CVS or Walgreens was going to charge with a discount and now with COVID he was able to get us a special coupon to cut down our prescription down to double digit cost vs. triple digit costs! He is direct, informative and always willing to help or give advice. Some people (based on the reviews here) may need fluff, sunshine and glitter but he's straight to business and is a really nice guy...no fluff! Different strokes for different folks. For our family personally, he's been super helpful! He is the best and we're so lucky we found him...we're moving so we're sad to leave PJ and his amazing service but hope to find another great independent pharmacist like PJ. Thanks for all your help throughout the years!"

"PJ is my partner's pharmacist, and he runs a great business. he is smart, professional, caring, and most of all a good person. He is extremely engaging and thorough about information and I always look forward to visiting with him. this is a great pharmacy to go to if you're looking for great service."

"PJ at Diablo Pharmacy is truly one of a kind. He has a unique personality that contributes to a welcoming and approachable atmosphere. He is known for his sense of humor, his genuine kindness, and his strong commitment to caring for his customers. PJ is consistently helpful, highly knowledgeable, and readily available to assist his customers . In addition, he makes himself especially accessible by posting his cell phone number on the front door of Diablo Pharmacy so customers can reach him when needed. This is the best pharmacy in the area ."

"I highly recommend the pharmacy! The pharmacist take such good care of the patients that come in. I've watched him help customers in line before me and he will make sure you know how to take your medicine and if you have any questions you can call. He is very kind and cares about people."

""I've never seen a pharmacist work so hard to take care of their customers. It's a one man shop, so act accordingly. If you need to pick something up, be sure to call ahead of time to make sure he's there and available. PJ is a real guy, he doesn't put up with nonsense. He will take care of your prescription needs with ease. Support small businesses! Don't keep going to Rite Aid, Walgreens, CVS, etc. Go to Diablo Pharmacy, the best pharmacy in the Bay Area.

"Best pharmacy I've found in the area. The pharmacist (PJ) is incredibly helpful, can do compounding, and has always gone above and beyond for me and my family. Can't recommend them enough."

"PJ is absolutely phenomenal; he is the sole proprietor and pharmacist at Diablo Pharmacy. We've been going to PJ for six years and would not consider using another pharmacist. PJ treats all of his customers with good old fashioned and genuine customer service that seems so rare to find. He treats all of his customers with the utmost importance and concern. You will have a difficult time finding another PJ. He's a rare human and pharmacist indeed.

This is a small pharmacy owned by the pharmacist himself, P.J. He will go the extra mile to help you out!

I was visiting from out of the area and had forgotten my meds at home. I called Diablo Pharmacy to check if they were open. P.J. answered and said he was planning to close in 45 minutes. He asked what I needed so explained my situation. He called my hometown pharmacy and was able to refill my prescription. He waited until I was able to get there to pick up the meds. I was very grateful!

It truly is "A small pharmacy with a big heart!"

"The nicest, kindest, and brightest pharmacist you'll ever meet. And if you have time to talk for a bit, you will get some of the best medicine.......laughter. You also get excellent education about your medications, as he will take the time to answer all your questions. PJ also provides what's often missing in the medical system, personal caring.
He blends quality customer service with expert knowledge. Oh, and don't forget to ask him about the Warriors!"

"PJ the pharmacist is the most kind thoughtful person I have been a patient of his since he open his door. I have had to leave the area and PJ has continued to send me my meds always on time so I never worry if I will get my meds on time I highly recommend and he is worth putting your health in his hands!!!"

"PJ is the best! Personable, kind and generous person with extensive knowledge in his field!

I recently had emergency surgery for gallbladder removal. PJ personally drove to my home dropped off my pain medication. PJ is no ordinary pharmacist!

I give PJ 5 stars for great service and job well done on a daily basis!"

"This us my favorite pharmacy on the west coast. P.J., the owner and pharmacist is polite, funny and he knows my name. I moved here from NY last year and from my very first experience, I loved him and the service he provides! He fills the prescriptions right on the spot and keeps you smiling while he does it. In this day of factory type pharmacy's , its nice to be recognized as a person and not a name or forced smile. In fact, I travel 20 minutes to get my prescriptions filled because of him."

"Very knowledgable pharmacist and gives you
110% attention. Great personal service and PJ even delivers locally. Highly suggest Diablo Pharmacy over the big chain drug stores!"
