"Deb and Chris are legendary for their contributions to the practice of pharmacy. Their dedication to health is remarkable and will continue to be manifested at Strive - La Vita. I am humbled and honored to be the new Pharmacist in Charge to lead the Strive - La Vita brand into the future. I have worked for Scripps Health, Rady Children’s Health, Providence- St. Joseph Health, and CVS/Coram Specialty Infusion to name a few. The staff at Strive - La Vita are phenomenal in the interactions with customers. The staff are passionate about their desire to compound and provide the best products for customers. I have been in pharmacy practice for almost 20years, and I am very proud of the highly competent staff that work at Strive - La Vita. I encourage everyone to stop by and say hello and feel the energy!! Be well!"

"Unethical, unprofessional and getting worse rapidly. I was a customer here for a few years. I had poor customer service that was unethical as it prevented me from getting my needed medications which in turn caused me to suffer. It was a mistake made by La Vita and they refused to acknowledge their mistake. Ive been told University Compounding Pharmacy is a better alternative. Ill be giving them a try. Ill also be reporting this pharmacy to governing agencies."

"Very compassionate and professional staff. I appreciate the work they do. We had a hiccup with one of my regular prescriptions and the staff and pharmacists worked with me to resolve it. Very grateful! They send prescriptions to me in Northern California. I see other reviews about shipping practices not being up to par. I have not had this experience. It is a compounding pharmacy so one does need to plan ahead - it takes a few days to make the medication, and depending on where you live, add days for the medication to be shipped to you."

"First I’m a regular customer. They have my shipping address on file and check it each time I call and speak with them. I called to refill two prescriptions as they had been left in a hotel abroad so it was urgent. They told me no problem. 4 days go by and then I get a call a week later telling me that they can’t ship to my state any longer but it was temporary and I could just wait for my medication. Uhm yea the pharmacist I originally spoke to confirmed my address when I first called. And to get a phone call a week later sayinf they can’t ship to me and was there another state I could go get it in? Huh? No. There isn’t. They apparently let their license lapse to ship to my state. Shoddy business practices. Not to mention putting their clients health at risk while they twiddle around. Would suggest another place. I will be transferring mine elsewhere. Somewhere who actually doesn’t let their licenses expire for example."

"Awful pharmacy. I called to refill my prescription, and they told me I would have the prescription in "3-5 business days." I had exactly 5 business days worth of medication. Called back on the 5th business day, and they had not even started on my medication. The guy on the phone clarified that "3 to 5 business days" is the processing time and does not include shipping because they are too busy. If they would have told me that in the beginning I would have had my doctor call in the prescription to a different pharmacy. Now I don't have the medication and I am going to have to deal with the side effects. I am a attorney - this is borderline negligence."
