"They are a small family business"
"A+++! NO Appt"
"Don't go to this pharmacy"

"My first time using them since Fred Meyer is too busy now so I thought a small pharmacy would be faster"
They are a small family business. The pharmacy looks small and unassuming, but I love coming here. I am always treated courteously, like a human being, not an annoyance like at some of the large pharmacies. You get to know the pharmacists and staff and they know you. They have an app they use, RX Local, so I can just ask for refills online, which makes it easy. It’s not chaotic and disorganized like the big chains. I take ADHD medication and I don’t feel judged when I drop off my RX for refills or pick it up. I always felt judged at Fred Meyer. I use private insurance, but they take Medicaid also, which some of the big pharmacies don’t. And refills are quick to get prepared, even on short notice. Finally, I know they won an award recently for their fantastic efforts in getting the community immunized. Out of all the Portland pharmacies and hospitals and clinics, they received the award for their efforts. I know they offer walk-in immunizations for covid, which most places don’t. Their pharmacist told me about it and showed me the award plaque. I’m embarrassed to admit I was a total grumpo recently when I went and had to wait just a few min for my refill, and I was still treated very courteously. So I figured the least I could do is write this review. This place is a little gem :)
A+++! NO Appt., NO wait! Walk in service, and great care! Highly recommend! Everywhere else we had to go online, and search for an appointment which was usually weeks out. Le Care Pharmacy is the place to go! I took an immuno compromised person who was overdue by 6 months for their booster. They had lost their original vaccine card, and the pharmacist was even able to look up their name and see when, where, and what type of vaccine was originally given. Excellent, friendly and professional service! Actual shot only took one second! No pain at all! In and out in less than 10 minutes. It only took that long because we changed our mind on which vaccine to get, which the pharmacist kindly did. Fifth person in our family to receive their booster here. Four of those people needed last minute boosters to travel abroad, and we're all able to get booster vaccines without an appointment. Walked right in off the street. Convenient central location right off Sandy Blvd and 42nd Ave. Parking lot is across the street from Target. Thanks for the great service!
Don't go to this pharmacy. The reviews are not accurate. I have 2 necessary diabetes prescriptions that I needed by early this week. I submitted these prescriptions on Friday, was told they should have them filled by Monday. On Sunday at 630pm I get a phone call from the owner saying, he isn't going to fill my medications and I will need to find a new pharmacy. All because my insurance is new to them and won't pay him as much as if I used the generic prescription. I asked if there was something I could do, but no I was informed my business wouldn't be accepted here..... Talk about customer service. I get that the the pharmaceutical and health care systems are screwed up, but after the recent cvs closure I thought I would try to use my local and highly reviewed pharmacy. Jokes on me! Don't let the joke on you either!
Recently moved to Portland, and I chose LECARE as my pharmacy. This is my first time using an independent pharmacy, and so far everything's been great! One major advantage of independent pharmacies is that unlike the bigger chains (e.g. Walgreens, CVS), they can source medications from a variety of manufacturers and are thus less affected by shortages. Everyone that I've interacted with who works there has been super helpful and kind, and the app makes it really easy to check on the status of your prescriptions/view your medication info. You can even use it to message the pharmacy, which is really convenient. There's no dedicated parking, but you can park on the street or at the Trader Joe's next door. I don't have a TJ's near me so I like to use picking up my prescriptions as an excuse to go there.
My first time using them since Fred Meyer is too busy now so I thought a small pharmacy would be faster. Communication was terrible! I called at 11 something to ask them if they received my prescriptions and they said they will call me back if they need anything. My husband came to pick up my medications around 3pm and it wasn’t even fill yet. He had to wait for 30 mins and told they don’t even have one of the medicine in stock. Then after he left they called to tell me that. Their excuse was they were waiting for my insurance card. Whether I have insurance or not, it shouldn’t matter. It should have been filled a long time ago and at least let me know they didn’t have it so I can fill somewhere else in time before the other pharmacy store closes. I’m very disappointed in how they handle all this.
I heard about lecare walk-in boosters in passing from aquaintances and friendly strangers, after a couple weeks of trying to make appointments for the booster through every major pharmacy and govt site, I finally decided to just wait in line. From getting in line to walking out on cloud nine, took about TEN MINUTES total. That included a pharmacist taking the time to elaborate on the most recent data on omicron. They are quick, professional, friendly, and patient. A couple VERY upset kids got their shots in front of me and the LECARE staff was calm, reassuring and efficient with them. This pharmacy is single-handedly picking up the slack our health systems dropped after the first round of vaccinations. I am forever grateful to LECARE for taking care of our community; thank you!!
I got my first COVID booster here after hearing about how quick and easy it was to do here - just walk-in. Had a great experience with that back in October of last year and as soon as I heard they had the new bivalent boosters I knew I'd come back. There was a line stretching over to trader Joe's, and it still only took 30 minutes to get my shot. They are very organized and efficient but also super nice (they grabbed some chairs for kids waiting just a few minutes for their parents to get their shots). It was just positive vibes all around and couldn't be easier. Don't waste time making an appointment! (I made an appointment for a flu shot the other day and it still took 15 minutes with no line!)
I received both doses of the Moderna COVID vaccine here. The pharmacy is clean and accessible (park at Trader Joe's; bus stops in front of the pharmacy). They are organized and everyone is friendly and helpful. The pharmacist administering the shots is very thorough and kind. If you are looking for a place to get vaccinated, this is it! There was a line, but it moved quickly. For all you pet parents out there, this is also a compounding pharmacy, so if you dread pilling your cat, contact them to see if an alternative can be developed. If I didn't already receive mail-order prescriptions through my health insurance, I'd get all my meds filled here. Glad they are in the Hollywood district.
My 3-year old son got his second Moderna shot here. He is terrified of vaccines and was crying and shaking even before we entered the building. The pharmacist couple were extremely sweet and patient with him and made the best of what could have been an rough experience. Afterward, the man said to my son “you were scared and brave at the same time. When I get shots, I can’t look.” In my opinion (and that of Daniel Tiger) it was the perfect thing to say. I would absolutely take him here again. Thank you!
I had a wonderful experience at LECARE Pharmacy when I needed an emergency Tetanus shot after scratching my arm on a rusty fence. Unlike other providers (I spoke with a clinic earlier that day that was very unhelpful), LECARE was available, kind, and slowed down to answer all my questions. He had a calming voice and wonderful bedside manner that meant a lot on a not-so-great day. Even though this pharmacy is across town from my house, I will try to support this place as much as I can in the future.
Major kudos to the folks at Lecare. Just received covid booster there. I was away from home for less than an hour. drive time is about 30 minutes, so i was there for only about 20; and in the chair for the injection for a bout 1 minute. several people in and out to handout and collect consent forms, leaving the pharmacists free to give and go. I appreciate the sense of urgency the staff had to get people in and out with a good dose of professionalism and efficiency as well. way to go Lecare.
Highly recommend! proactive, friendly, handled long lines of people with incredible efficiency during COVID crunch. I love this place. Support local and get your COVID vax, tests, or other stuff here! I tried the big boxes and they all failed me then found this spot, so glad I did. Ran my insurance cleanly, no fuss. I tried to get this same thing done at local ZoomCare and left with a $400 bill and no answers. Lecare got me a rapid test, friendly service and no charge. Great work Lecare!
I transferred to LECARE after service at Rite Aid was becoming totally untenable. I've been so happy with them for the past year or so. Staff is always so helpful and friendly and they always have my medications ready quickly. My favorite thing about them though is how excellent they are with the covid vaccines. My son got a booster from them and the doctor did a little trick and my son didn't even notice he'd gotten the shot! It was amazing! I highly recommend this pharmacy.
My husband and I tried to make an appointment to get the booster shot and none of biggest chain pharmacies were available. somehow my husband found lecare pharmacy where we can jwalk-in and get the shot. Luckily there wasn't line, so we could get the shot right away. It took only about 2mins to get the shot. I thought it's convenient and efficient. The staffs were very kind and quick. I would like to recommend lecare pharmacy if you are planning to get a booster shot or etc.
They were busy. But also was kind. I heard about them online. Initially it was to stay open till 9PM trying to fill 4 vaccines they had to not go to waste, and then all this week had been open availability. Walk in, provide some information (for government and such, is my understanding), and get your shot. I DID feel slightly rushed, but then, there was only one person attending, and 4 people waiting, so I get it. Overall, the person was super kind.
I've been coming to LECARE ever since my previous pharmacy shut down in the height of COVID, but it's been one of the best switches I could have made. The staff here are great, efficient, and put a focus on your needs. They'll go out of their way to find you the best deal on your prescriptions. LECARE's quick and easy COVID shots and boosters have kept me coming back every time I need to be boosted, and every time I've had a quality experience.
Well organized, kind, and as quick as one could ask for for a walk in clinic's COVID-19 boosters! I had learned about this walk in booster option from the Portland Subreddit, and I cannot recommend them enough. It took about 45 min on a Monday afternoon in early December to get from the back of the line to the shot in my arm. They have both Moderna and Pfizer options, and shots for both adults and kids. I highly recommend this pharmacy!
Bivalent booster walk in. The line moves fast, they're really efficient and fast. After not being able to find appointments for weeks at other pharmacies, being unable to even CALL other pharmacies to ask about walk-ins, and driving around to others unsuccessfully, LECARE answered the phone with a real person, said yes walk right in, and we were in and out within 15 minutes. We will always come back here after this positive experience.
Found this place during COVID, when the owner made masks for the kids. Small place with exceptionalservices (efficient, fast, and friendly). The owner and staff are knowledgeable, nice, hard working, honest, and compassionate of what they do. Our new favorite Pharmacist "Sandy" & Pharmacy. Thanks you for all your services especially for giving the CoVid vaccines to the community.
Staff are super professional and really nice. came in for COVID shots and they made the experience pleasant. they opened in 2020 and they are small but they offer the personal attention that the sprawl-mart monster pharmacies cannot provide. (if I relied on big pharm to get me a COVID shot I would still be waiting!!) I don't get meds much but I will make LeCare my regular pharmacy. Give them a shot :)
Boy, I thought it was too good to be true after I had spent hours trying to find appointments for booster shots for my husband and I, when a friend told me about walk-in booster shots at Lecare! I went on a Monday morning, there was basically no wait and I was in and out in 15 minutes. Super nice staff and they seem really organized. I don't have any prescriptions but if I did I would fill them here!
I'm so glad I switched my prescriptions over to LECARE. I feel like this is what a Pharmacy is supposed to be like. You can get to know your pharmacist and feel like they know you too. The staff go above and beyond. It's super easy to refill a prescription on the app, and I get notified when it's ready. Also you can park at the Trader Joe's parking lot which makes it super easy!
Came in for the COVID booster shot. Easiest thing in the world! Friendly, knowledgeable and efficient staff. I hadn't given this place much thought before because I didn't really know what a compounding pharmacy was. Really, this is just a small, independent pharmacy. If you live in the area (or even if you don't, I suppose), check it out. Had a great experience.
Listen. Thanh and his people are amazing. When they say "walk in COVID vaccines", they weren't kidding. I got my second does today and was out of there in 15 minutes. 10 of those were spent waiting after the shot to ensure I didn't have a reaction. The people are friendly and real. Qhat an addition to the community. Thanks Lecare! Ya'll are making a difference.
This is the only pharmacy in the area that I've found that reliably carries COVID vaccines/boosters, and doesn't require you to be immune compromised or elderly to get one. They are quick and professional, and deal with some of the most impatient people yet always deliver a positive experience. Thank LeCare for helping keep our community safe and vaccinated!
This place is amazing! Family run and they are prioritizing giving out the vaccine to the community. You can either sign up on their site or walk-in (if you sign up online and see the confirmation just go show up they are so busy they won’t get to email or call you)! Even without an insurance card they gave me the vaccine they are really amazing ❤️✨
The experience I had at Lecare Pharmacy was wonderful. I got my COVID-19 vaccines there and both times were quick, well organized and painless! The staff is very friendly and helpful and the pharmacist made me feel at ease. So happy I heard about this place and will be recommending it to all of my friends + family. Thank you Lecare Pharmacy team!
Best place I've gotten a vaccine ever! There was no wait, it is small and cozy with a heater near where you sit. The pharmacist was kind and let me warm up the injection in my hands as it just came out of the fridge. She did the injection slowly so I had significantly less arm pain than with the other two shots I got elsewhere. Thank you LECARE!
I didn't realize you could get service like anymore! They went so far beyond expectations I'm still surprised. I went and received the Anti Body Therapy, the pharmacist is the most dedicated person I think I have ever met. I don't know his name, but I can't thank him enough, everyone there worked so hard to make this happen! Thank you brother.
We first went here for their walk-in vaccine clinic and we’re so impressed! We highly recommend this pharmacy. They were well organized and professional and clearly committed to serving the community. What a great resource for NE portland: a trustworthy neighborhood pharmacy providing personalized service. They fill prescriptions for pets too!
Came here for the COVID vaccine booster and wow. These folks are fast, friendly, and efficient. There was a line of about 30 people in front of me but I got my shot only after 15-20 minutes of waiting. They’re ridiculously fast! We had the option to choose between Pfizer and Moderna. Thanks to LECARE staff for supporting your community!
I received my COVID vaccine here. I was able to book an appointment online at a time when finding available appointments elsewhere was difficult. The whole process went very smoothly—getting my second shot took fewer than five minutes! The staff is very friendly, and this will definitely be my pharmacy of choice from now on!
Yes, I came from Reddit! Support this pharmacy! Get your Covid vaccine here if you want a smooth, easy process. I was able to book my first appointment online easy peezy and plan on going in tomorrow morning for my 2nd dose! Family and minority owned, this pharmacy ROCKS. Thank you for all your hard work during this time!
Came here for my booster shot in November. Waited in line for 30 minutes in the rain, under cover. One of their employees came out handing everyone sheets to fill out for their shots. It took me no longer than 10 minutes once I was inside. Will infinitely recommend this place to anyone who still needs a booster.
Transferred my prescription here a few months ago when I moved to the neighborhood. It is a family owned business that has won awards for how many people they have vaccinated and will figure out your insurance and how to get medication cheaper. I love this pharmacy so much, and I can not recommend it enough.
The staff is so friendly and patient! And so good with children! While waiting for my booster and flu vax, there was a mother and two young kids ahead of me, the man administering the vaccines took such care joking around and asking them math questions to distract them. No nervous tears only smiles.
Very friendly neighborhood pharmacy staff! Needed a COVID booster last minute, calling the pharmacy they were able to have me in immidiately and out within 15 mins. I plan to move now fill my Rx here. They also were very kid friendly from observing them providing booster during my visit.
I went and got my Covid booster here because I had heard of Lecare through word-of-mouth and knew they accepted walk-ins. I had my vaccine within 10 minutes. They are efficient and friendly—I’m considering switching my prescriptions over. I would recommend the folks at Lecare any day!
I found this place after hearing they offered all vaccines and boosters. No appointment was necessary so I walked up and I only waited about 15 minutes in line to get my booster. We need more neighborhood pharmacies like this, run by kind local folks who truly care. Thank you Lecare!
Came with my two high-school-aged children for Covid boosters. Such a better vaccination experience than Safeway or QFC. There was a short line, but it moves fast. I've been the only customer at Safeway, waited for 45 minutes, and then been scolded for asking what the deal was.
Went in today around 3:30pm and had a great experience. There was only one person ahead of me. By the time I finished filling out my form, they had gotten their booster and I was up. In and out in maybe 5 minutes. Friendly staff doing great work! Thank you for taking walk ins!
Got my bivalent booster here after a friend told me about it - there was a bit of a line but it went quickly and took about 5 minutes total, they were so efficient and friendly! Highly recommend over the bigger pharmacies, way better experience than CVS or Walgreens.
Wanted to get the COVID booster and the VA couldn't schedule me for over a month. Found out about LECARE and went down the same day. One line for Moderna and one line for Pfizer...Got in the Moderna line and was done in about fifteen minutes. These guys are awesome!
Walk in vaccine and boosters available here. The mornings have crazy long lines. The afternoons are dead. Around 3pm the line is 10 people. Around 4pm and later it might be 5-10, tops. In and out quickly. Pfizer and Moderna offered. Get your firmware updated.
I spent hours hunting around online for a covid booster shot. Wasted time on websites that promise appointment and you do so much data entry, then they say not available. I heard about LeCare, waited 20 minutes in line, and got it done same day. Thank you.
LeCare is such a hero. Every time I go for a vaccine I'm in and out of there in 15 minutes or less, they're amazing and fulfilling your prescriptions. It's just a lot less hassle than anyplace else. The people that work there are truly wonderful.
LeCare pharmacy is awesome! . There is very little wait time for your prescription. It’s not like Fred Meyer when you have something called in and then two to three days later you will get your prescription. Same day service unless you have
Got my booster shot done here and it was so fast and easy, and the pharmacist was so good about making me feel relaxed during the shot! He was informative and so so so sweet. 100% switching to this pharmacy, CVS decided to stop recognizing
I shop around here and never noticed this place until people started lining up. Was surprised to learn that it's a pharmacy, and a nice one at that apparently. Decided to get my booster shot here. Overall, good and convenient experience.
I went here to received my COVID-19 vaccine booster. It was quick and easy. They picked up when I called and confirmed that the booster I needed was available. Thank you to the people over at Lecare for making it a pleasant experience.
Came for the new bivalent booster around noonish, and despite a 5-8 person line I was through in under 15 minutes. They are clear, organized, and get you through fast. Note that they may not be doing other vaccines at the moment (I
These folks are running a slam-dunk vaccine and booster operation right now. If you're having trouble getting an appointment elsewhere, they're doing all walk-ins and get you in and out as fast they can. Super friendly folks, too.
I went here to get my moderna booster shortly after it was approved. It was a very busy Saturday morning but the staff were lovely and kind although I'm sure they felt frazzled internally. Would definitely use this place again!
One of the nicest guy I think I have ever met. Was a pleasure having you do my antibodies. I'm will forever be at your mercy for leaving. Thank you. This man really cares about the people that he helps a breath of fresh air.
Best small pharmacy experience ever! They are very kind, personable, and professional. I've never had to wait in line to pick up a prescription--they're so efficient. Convenient location, in the same complex as Trader Joes.
Super nice owners that clearly care about their customers and community. I was able to easily walk in for a Covid booster and it was a very timely and painless experience. I plan to switch my prescriptions to this pharmacy.
Got my first two vaccine doses here. Decided to come back for the walk up booster. Had to wait in line for about 30 minutes outside, but they were very quick and polite. Would highly recommend you get vaccinated here!
Went here to get our COVID vaccine and it was such an easy, quick and seamless process. Family run pharmacy, very friendly staff in an easily accessible location in Hollywood. Will definitely come back in the future!
Fast. Kind. Walk in covid booster. Had Pfizer and Moderna. Took my insurance with no questions. I definitely recommend this spot for those who just want the shot and not a lot of run around, scheduling, and waiting.
amazing place, took all my family to get the bivalent booster here and the whole process could not have been easier. We walked in with no appointments on a weekday afternoon and were in and out in 15 minutes
Great little pharmacy, very friendly, customer oriented, and helpful. Daily walk-ins for Covid shots and boosters. Took me 15 minutes total on a weekday. Best to park at the Trader Joe's around the corner.
So friendly and efficient! I walked in for a COVID booster shot on what they considered a busy day for walk-ins and I received the jab within 30 minutes of getting in line. ️➕ ❤️❤️❤️ …
People in this place are a o kind! The loveliest man gave us our booster shots even though it was already late. He wanted to make sure that vaccine doesn’t go to waste and he was just amazing!!!!
They saved my life. No one would treat me for COVID. But LECARE Pharmacy did late on a Monday evening. The Pharmacist is a wonderful person who truly cares about life. Thank you LECARE PHARMACY.
I waited only a few minutes for my booster vaccine. The office was run as efficiently as any pharmacy I have ever visited. Professional, compassionate, everything you would want in a pharmacy.
They have a great stock, so I didn't have to wait for them to order anything in. Dropped off my prescription, picked it up a few minutes later. I haven't had that fast a turnaround in years!
Easy walk in COVID shots!! I checked with CVS, Safeway, RiteAid and none of them took walk ins and none had appointments today. A friend told me about this place. Easy, friendly, efficient!
I visited this pharmacy recently to receive a Bivalent COVID booster. The wait was ~30 min at opening, but by 10:45 I waited for less than ten minutes. Very efficiently, friendly, and easy.
Walk-in COVID booster shot with 3 vaccines available! Friendly staff, barely felt the shot. I really appreciate how Lecare is doing this as a walk-in thing -- this was so easy and so good.
Best vaccine experience I have ever had, everything was done within 10min (That is with me filling out my form). Super friendly staff, and efficient. I will transfer my prescriptions too.
So grateful for their COVID vaccination service. Quick and efficient, with a very kind staff. Saved hours vs. other options. Highly recommended for anyone still looking for a vaccine.
Prescriptions filled faster than any of the big pharmacies. Never a wait. Friendly, helpful staff. Have an app that makes refilling and communicating easy as possible. Very impressed!
It seems like they really care about getting people vaccinated quickly and safely. Both doses were so fast and easy, and everyone there is very friendly. You are in good hands here.
Have gone here for Covid boosters. They are very efficient, fast, and friendly. I live on the other side of town but I prefer going here and supporting a locally-owned pharmacy!
This is the place to get your COVID vaccine and boosters. They provide extraordinary care, are kind and so welcoming. I can't recommend them enough, they are wonderful.
Quick, professional, friendly! Super easy vaccine process. Walk-ins welcome and plenty of parking available in the Trader Joe's parking lot (yes you can park there!)
Le Care Pharmacy was easy and simple to get a booster shot with no appointment needed. They were fast and efficient as well as friendly. Thank you for your service.
Great experience getting my Omicron booster here yesterday on a walk-in basis. Easy-breezy experience, friendly and skilled staff. This place is excellent!
Great, locally owned pharmacy with friendly staff! I got both of my COVID vaccines here and the process was fast, efficient, and easy! Highly recommend.
Honestly, this is the best pharmacy I’ve ever been to. Everyone is so incredibly kind and I love supporting them! I highly recommend checking them out.
hands down best pharmacy ive ever been to. they also do covid vaccines so quickly and efficiently you can just walk in and get your booster!
Arrived 5:30 on Friday for walk-in booster. Very organized. Everyone had a good attitude. Was through the adults only line in 40 minutes.
This was the best place in the world. It was great because when they gave you the shot you couldn’t even feel it! -Lucas, 8
This is a child speaking and usually it hurts but this time i barely felt a thing when they gave me a shot …
Great service. Friendly pharmacist and techs. Had a couple of minor mishaps, but they worked hard to fix it quickly.
Efficient, friendly, organized. The best pharmacy ever. Very organized and up to date information on their website.
Friendly and professional. This is the only pharmacy that doesn't require an appointment for vaccinations.
LeCare has the best customer service and care! Just like their name implies!
Fairly quick walk in covid vaccines. Very friendly staff.
Always friendly, efficient, and attentive staff.
