This Pharmacy went above and beyond to do my free style sensor insert. When my own pharmacy would not do it for me. Thank you very much

Nancy Parker

The pharmacist, John, is one of the kindest people I've met! He truly goes out of his way to make you feel welcome as soon as you walk through the door. Came in for a vaccine and felt right at ease and had some great conversation! We need more people in the world providing great experiences like this!

Nichole Geleta-Weal

This is the best pharmacy I’ve had the pleasure of using. The level of care John and his staff give goes above and beyond the ordinary.. I rest easier knowing John and his staff are my health advocates. If I could give 10 stars, I would! Thank you ever so much John for your excellent care! It has had a great impact on my health!

Ellen Taylor

John the pharmacist is one of the kindest people I have ever met. He does refills and new prescriptions very fast and will talk you through your medications to make sure you understand the possible side effects and how to mitigate them should they occur. He is always happy to see me and I'm always happy to see him. He has even changed my dosage because I am on the smaller side and knew the prescribed amount would be too much for me. Hands down the best pharmacy I have ever been to.

Exceptional customer service! From start to finish, they made the entire process easy and convenient. I appreciated being able to scan my prescription rather than mailing it in. As a result, I was able to get my medication much sooner than expected.
