Rego Park has more pharmacies per block than almost any neighborhood in Queens. Walk Queens Boulevard from Woodhaven Boulevard to 67th Avenue and you pass independents, a supermarket pharmacy, a hospital-system pharmacy, a chain and a warehouse club, all within about a mile. That sounds like a good problem to have, until you actually need one. Which one delivers for free? Which one is open on Sunday? Which one will take a no-fault prescription after a car accident instead of asking for cash? Which one has a pharmacist who will sit down with your mother and go through her nine medications?
This guide answers those questions for seven pharmacies in Rego Park, NY 11374. Every address, phone number and hours listing was checked in October 2026 against the pharmacy’s own website or, where a pharmacy has no website, the most consistent directory listings, and the source is noted when it is not the pharmacy itself. One pharmacy on this list, MedAid Pharmacy & Optical, sponsored the article. It is ranked first because it covers the widest range of what Rego Park residents actually need, and the other six are described on exactly the same terms, strengths and weaknesses both.
How the Pharmacies Were Ranked
Five things mattered, in this order. Free delivery, because Rego Park’s population skews older and a large share of residents in the co-ops along Queens Boulevard and 63rd Drive would rather not walk to a counter. Weekend hours, specifically Sunday, since most independents in central Queens close for the weekend. Breadth of service beyond filling bottles: blister packaging, immunizations, consultations, supplies, optical. Specialty billing for workers compensation and no-fault, which matters more in Rego Park than people realize because of the volume of accident and injury cases flowing through the Queens Boulevard medical offices. And transparency, meaning the pharmacy publishes enough that you can act without calling first.
1. MedAid Pharmacy & Optical
98-32 Queens Blvd, Rego Park, NY 11374. Phone (718) 516-0000. Open Monday to Thursday 9 am to 7 pm, Friday 9 am to 5 pm, Sunday 10 am to 5 pm. Closed Saturday.
MedAid is the most complete independent pharmacy in the neighborhood, and the only one on this list that combines a pharmacy and an optical department under one roof. On the pharmacy side, delivery is free, same or next business day, with no minimum order and no membership, and it covers all of Queens and the five boroughs. The pharmacy has specialized in workers compensation and no-fault prescriptions for over fifteen years, billing the carrier directly and taking the claim on assignment so approved medications and supplies have no out-of-pocket cost; for injury patients it states a 24 to 48 hour delivery window once the claim is confirmed. The full process is laid out on its workers compensation and no-fault pharmacy page, and attorneys and medical offices across Queens use its dedicated referral pages.
The service list runs deep. Blister medication packaging sorts a patient’s medications into sealed, dated compartments, which is the single most useful service for the neighborhood’s older residents and the adult children managing their care from Brooklyn or Long Island. Walk-in immunizations including flu shots, private pharmacist consultations, specialty medications with prior authorization support, surgical and orthotic supplies, and specialty vitamins round it out. The optical department carries a selection of frames including designer options and offers DMV vision testing, so a prescription pickup and a new pair of glasses happen in one visit.
Then there is Sunday. MedAid opens Sunday 10 am to 5 pm, which puts it in a small minority of independents in central Queens, and the weekday hours until 7 pm Monday to Thursday work for commuters coming off the M and R at 63rd Drive. For anyone who wants to move everything to one place, the pharmacy in Rego Park page explains the neighborhood coverage and the transfer process.
Honest limitations: closed Saturday, which is a real gap, and no overnight or 24-hour line. The website lists two phone numbers, an 800 line in the header and the 718 number elsewhere; use (718) 516-0000.
2. NetRx Pharmacy
9710 Queens Blvd, Rego Park, NY 11374, inside NetCost Market. Phone (718) 685-2553. Open Monday to Thursday 9 am to 7 pm, Friday 9 am to 3 pm, Sunday 9 am to 4 pm. Closed Saturday.
NetRx publishes the most aggressive delivery promise in Rego Park: free same-day delivery across the five boroughs and Long Island, with orders called in before noon arriving that evening. For a resident who needs a refill today and cannot get out, that is the strongest stated commitment on this list. The pharmacy also lists a New York no-fault accident service and workers compensation support with claim-based processing, and sitting inside NetCost means a patient can combine groceries and medication in one trip, which matters for anyone with limited mobility.
Honest limitations: the no-fault and workers compensation descriptions are brief and do not say whether the pharmacy bills the carrier directly. Friday closes at 3 pm, the earliest on the list, and Sunday closes at 4 pm. Like most of the independents here, it is closed Saturday.
3. Queens Pharm Rx
96-01 63rd Dr, Rego Park, NY 11374. Phone (347) 730-5115. Open Monday to Thursday 10 am to 6 pm, Friday and Sunday 10 am to 4 pm. Closed Saturday.
Queens Pharm Rx is the classic neighborhood pharmacy a few steps from the 63rd Drive station, and its service list reads like a community bulletin board: free pickup and delivery, free pharmacist consultations, immunizations including flu and shingles, surgical supplies, a no-fault service that includes help with the claim itself, workers compensation support, notary, copy and fax, free blood pressure readings and money orders. It accepts most insurances and runs a 24/7 customer hotline. For residents of the 63rd Drive and Saunders Street blocks, it is the closest full-service option.
Honest limitations: the shortest hours on this list, with a 6 pm weekday close and 4 pm on Friday and Sunday. The website does not publish a delivery timeframe or describe how no-fault billing works.
4. Ready Rx
9516 Queens Blvd, Rego Park, NY 11374. Phone (718) 275-5300. Hours per directory listings: Monday to Friday 10 am to 6 pm, Sunday 10 am to 3 pm, closed Saturday.
Ready Rx is a small independent on the Queens Boulevard strip near 95th Street, directly between NetRx and the Northwell building. It is included here because it is one of the few independents in the neighborhood listed with Sunday hours, even if short ones, and because it gives residents on the Elmhurst side of Rego Park a walk-in option without crossing to 63rd Drive.
Honest limitations: Ready Rx does not maintain a website with published services, so delivery, immunizations and specialty billing could not be verified; the hours above come from directory listings rather than the pharmacy itself. Call before relying on any of it.
5. Vivo Health Pharmacy at Rego Park
95-25 Queens Blvd, Suite GFL03, Rego Park, NY 11374. Phone (718) 395-1980. Hours per directory listings: Monday to Friday 7 am to 7 pm, Saturday 8 am to 4 pm, closed Sunday.
Vivo Health is the retail pharmacy brand located inside Northwell Health hospitals and ambulatory facilities, and this location sits on the ground floor of the Northwell medical building on Queens Boulevard. Its strengths are the ones you would expect from a hospital-system pharmacy: specialty, acute and chronic medication services, help with insurance benefits investigation and prior authorization, patient assistance program support, a 24/7 clinical call center, automatic refill reminders and free home delivery for specialty medications. For a patient whose doctors are in the Northwell building upstairs, it is the obvious choice, and the 7 am weekday opening is the earliest in the neighborhood.
Honest limitations: closed Sunday, and the free delivery is stated for specialty medications rather than for routine prescriptions. Hours come from directory listings. It is not a no-fault or workers compensation specialist, and a patient with an injury claim will have a smoother experience at MedAid, NetRx or Queens Pharm Rx.
6. CVS Pharmacy
9710 63rd Rd, Rego Park, NY 11374, corner of 97th Street. Phone (718) 896-2484. Hours per third-party listings: pharmacy Monday to Friday 8 am to 9 pm, Saturday and Sunday 9 am to 6 pm; store open daily until 10 pm.
The chain option. CVS wins on raw hours, the only pharmacy on this list open seven days with a Saturday pharmacy counter, and on the convenience of a full store around the counter. Prescriptions sent by any doctor’s office land here without friction, the app handles refills, and vaccines are available by appointment or walk-in. For a Rego Park resident who needs something on a Saturday, this is often the answer.
Honest limitations: everything that makes chains frustrating. Weekend staffing is thin and lines are long, the pharmacist on duty does not know your history, and CVS does not specialize in no-fault or workers compensation billing, so injury patients are routinely asked to pay cash. Hours come from third-party listings and should be confirmed on the CVS site, since chain pharmacy hours have changed frequently.
7. Costco Pharmacy, Rego Park
6135 Junction Blvd, Rego Park, NY 11374. Pharmacy phone (718) 760-6479. Pharmacy hours per Costco: Monday to Friday 9 am to 7 pm, Saturday 9 am to 6 pm, closed Sunday. The pharmacy may close for 30 minutes between 1:30 and 2:30 pm when one pharmacist is on duty.
Costco’s Rego Park pharmacy is the price play. Members who take maintenance medications in 90-day supplies often find the cash price lower than their insurance copay, and the pharmacy fills for non-members as well under New York rules, though you need to ask at the entrance. For a household already shopping at the Junction Boulevard warehouse, folding prescriptions into the trip is efficient.
Honest limitations: no delivery, closed Sunday, a possible midday pharmacy closure, and the Rego Center parking situation on a Saturday. It is a volume operation with no consultation culture, no specialty billing, and no reason to choose it unless price is the deciding factor.
Choosing the Right Pharmacy in Rego Park
The right answer depends on what you need most.
If free delivery is the priority, MedAid and NetRx both deliver free across Queens with no minimum, MedAid same or next business day and NetRx with a same-day promise for orders before noon. Vivo Health delivers specialty medications free. Nobody else on this list states free delivery for routine prescriptions.
If Sunday matters, MedAid is open 10 to 5, NetRx 9 to 4, Queens Pharm Rx 10 to 4, Ready Rx 10 to 3 and CVS 9 to 6. Vivo Health and Costco are closed. If Saturday matters, only CVS and Costco have a pharmacy counter open, plus Vivo Health until 4 pm.
If you have a no-fault or workers compensation prescription, MedAid is the specialist, with published direct billing, claim verification before dispensing and a 24 to 48 hour delivery window. NetRx and Queens Pharm Rx both list the service. The chain, the warehouse club and the hospital-system pharmacy are not built for it.
If you are managing an older parent’s medications, MedAid’s blister packaging and consultations, delivered on a schedule, are the strongest fit on the list. Queens Pharm Rx’s free consultations are a good second.
If price on a 90-day maintenance supply is the only question, Costco.
What Rego Park Residents Should Know About Transfers
Moving prescriptions between any of these pharmacies takes one phone call to the receiving pharmacy, which contacts the old one and the prescriber. Independents such as MedAid handle the transfer through a prescription refill and transfer request by phone or on the website, and the new pharmacy can set up automatic refills and delivery from the first fill. The only situation where a transfer stalls is when the sending pharmacy is closed, which is why Sunday transfers from a closed independent do not complete until Monday; in that case, ask the prescriber to send a fresh prescription to the open pharmacy instead.
A Note on the Neighborhood’s Pharmacy Density
Rego Park’s concentration of pharmacies is not an accident. The neighborhood sits at the center of a medical corridor that runs along Queens Boulevard from Elmhurst Hospital to the Forest Hills medical offices, and it has one of the highest proportions of older residents in Queens, many in the large co-op complexes between Queens Boulevard and the Long Island Expressway. That combination produces steady prescription volume and a patient base that values delivery and personal service over a store with a candy aisle. It is why the independents on this list have survived next to a CVS and a Costco, and why the best of them have built services, from blister packs to no-fault billing to on-site optical, that the chains have never bothered to offer.
Conclusion
Seven pharmacies within a mile of each other, and no two alike. For most Rego Park households the decision comes down to the independents, and among them MedAid Pharmacy & Optical offers the widest coverage of what the neighborhood needs: free delivery, Sunday hours, injury-claim billing, blister packaging, immunizations, consultations and an optical department, all at one address on Queens Boulevard. NetRx is the pick for the fastest stated delivery, Queens Pharm Rx for the 63rd Drive blocks, CVS for Saturday, Vivo Health for Northwell patients and Costco for price. Whichever you choose, call first, confirm hours, and ask whether delivery is free; in Rego Park, it should be.
