Since 1972, Garden Grove Pharmacy has been providing Orange County residents with personalized care and excellent customer service. We are located in the lobby of the Grove Medical Arts building, next to Garden Grove Hospital.
Garden Grove Pharmacy is proud to offer:
  • A caring and compassionate staff. At Garden Grove, you are treated like family. We strive to provide incredibly personalized service while maintaining our patients’ confidentiality.
  • Extensive insurance contracts. We accept Medi-Cal, ADAP, Medicare Part D, and all other major insurance plans.
  • Insurance gap assistance. We can help if there is a lapse in insurance benefits, or when coverage is pending. Our staff understands that sometimes there is a need for some extra help during insurance transitions and renewals; we work hard to provide medication coverage during any transitional periods.
  • Collaborative healthcare. We believe that working together with patients’ physicians, case managers,advocates, and family members is the best way to help our patients stay healthy. Once you let us know who is a part of your care team, we’re happy to work with them to make sure everyone is supporting your treatment program.
  • Multiple delivery options. We make sure that you have access to your medications at home or on the road.
  • Pharmaceutical consultations. Individual medications profiles and detailed medication and supplement assessments are done on site.
  • Adherence programs. Our treatment adherence programs are individually tailored to meet your needs - one size does not fit all! We offer many options for adherence including packing pill boxes, bubble packing, timers on pill bottles and more. We will work with you to make sure that your adherence program fits your personality and your lifestyle.
  • Online refill requests and automatic refill programs. We make it easy to refill your prescriptions, helping to ensure that you always have your medications when you need them.
  • Insurance authorization specialists. We work hard to obtain insurance coverage for new or specialty medications. This saves time for both you and your doctor and helps get you the medication you need without delay.
  • Community support. We value community involvement and support HIV/AIDS awareness programs. A few programs that we are involved with are ACTION, AIDS Walk, ASF, Delhi Center, and Shanti. See the Our Community page to learn more.
Pharmacist’s Corner:
Lord is our pharmacist-in-charge and is ecstatic to call Garden Grove Pharmacy his home store. He began his work with patients living with HIV/AIDS while still a student at UC San Francisco Pharmacy School.
“Providing personalized patient care is my top priority. I feel fortunate to be acquainted with the physicians, service organizations, and other HIV/AIDS care providers in the area, working together to ensure that our patients get the continuity of care they deserve.”
During his free time Lord is very skilled at maxing out his credit cards at South Coast Plaza.
