I have been to this store twice in my life. The first time was over a decade ago when it was called…read moreShoppers Home Health Care. Some Shoppers Drug Mart (SDM) stores have a home health care store that is separate from the drugstore and is often next door. It appears that these home health care stores have been rebranded and are known as Wellwise by SDM. After my doctor's appointment, I was in need of a wrist spica splint for my slightly swollen wrist and irritated thumb. My go-to drugstore did not carry it. I visited the SDM at highway 7 and Warden. I got a helpful pharmacist who said that he only had a finger splint. He recommended visiting this Wellwise store. He pointed me into the right direction. The store is two doors down from SDM, which is next to T&T. On a Saturday, the parking lot is super busy with folks who cannot back out of parking spots to survive. After seeing a woman take her sweet time backing out and leaving in front of me, I swooped into a spot closer to CIBC and walked over to Wellwise. I saw the splints at the back of the store. Never having worn one, I had no idea which one I needed. I lined up at the front and a female staff member was great helping me out. She recommended the longer wrist-thumb splint. She gave me a medium to try. It fit, but I needed something larger. The one that I settled for is black with red trim, which reminds me of my high school colours. The other one that didn't come in a large was all black. I tried the former on and it was comfortable considering how crazy it appeared. It looks like a mini straitjacket. I had a prescription, so the woman took some time to create an official receipt for me for my claim. She was great. My local pharmacy gave me a photocopy of my prescription, which was faint. I helped the woman with my address and phone number, as they were difficult to read on the prescription. This woman was thorough. She wanted to make sure that spica splint on the prescription was okay for the splint model that I was about to purchase. She checked with her colleague and it was all good. Yay! I paid with a debit card. There is no tax on this type of splint. You can also use your PC Optimum card here to get points. Bonus! I thanked this woman for all her help. I walked out with my new splint in its box. I am probably different when it comes to looking forward to wearing a splint. I simply wanted some relief and help. I got to my car and immediately put it on. I've had it for almost a day now. It's comfortable to wear. I drove fine with it on. I do need to adjust how I type, which keeps my left thumb off the spacebar. I like it. I slept well in it. I also feel like I have superpowers with it on, but I don't! I had excellent help getting a wrist-thumb splint. I got great care and customer service. I also learned so much about splints. It was quite the crash course to find one that suited my ailment. I hope that I don't need to return to this store, but know that you are in good hands if you do need something here. (202)

They sell a lot of home health equipment such as walkers, large comfort pillows, sleep apnea masks, bath tub handles, and even a hospital bed. The atmosphere is similar to a hospital with the white floors and the white walls. It felt very medical but at least it felt clean and professional. Almost every item had a tester product, which we really appreciated. There was quite a few people working, and most of them were knowledgeable about the products. They helped us choose the appropriate equipment and answered almost all of our questions. I caught wind of someone having an appointment here. I'm not sure what it was for, but if you have any health issues it's worth checking out. Surprisingly it was quite busy at the time we came, but that's probably because it's one of the very few in the area. 4/5. Clean. Good experience.

Shoppers Home Health Care does not look like a normal Shoppers Drug Mart, because it is totally…read moredifferent. First impression is that the decoration is boring 4 walls, a boring ceiling and a boring floor. For merchandises, you won't find flu medicine, beauty products and groceries here. Instead, the store is filled with health care supplies and equipment such as electric scooters, walkers, canes, Don Joy hinged knee braces (the types that look like the one Terry Fox wore), other types of knee braces that are for medical/physiotherapy purposes, a full rack of Obus Forme products with selections I have never heard of, etc.. In short, this is a real health care store that carries supplies and equipment that are too hard core for Walmart and PharmaPlus, and a pretty looking store is not required for marketing purpose. The services experience I had was good. This had something to do with the high staff/sq footage ratio. This services level was necessary because most new customers need assistance to choose the right product, the right brand of product, or in my case, custom fitted the product. At least for the product I was buying, the sales lady was obviously trained to perform the fitting. I can imagine that certain staffs are assigned to support 1 department only because of the customized training and experience required. SHHC will provide you with a receipt for insurance claim purpose. Please remember to check with your company insurance for documentation requirement, such as medical doctor prescription note. The reason I deduct 1 star is because SHHC does not do custom order. It only sells the brands they have on floor. They won't entertain orders of special brands. Before this visit, I wondered if Shoppers ran this business line as a public services, because I thought only a small percentage of population bought these stuffs. The truth was the store was busy during my visit. There were many customers of various age groups. They were all there to buy things to make their lives easier or to recover from injuries.

I went to this location of Wellwise to find compression socks for my leg problem…read moreI was prescribed these compression socks from a physician at NYGH. First off, the female employee treated me respectfully and courteously right from the start. I showed her my prescription and she led me right away to the product I requested. It was an easy sale. But On top of the great service, she mentioned that this would be tax free because of my prescription!! I was not told of this with my previous 2 purchases at another location. Now $6 is not going to break my bank either way but any savings no matter the $$ amount is extremely gratifying. Shame on the other store as I also showed them my prescription. I may have to leave another review on their page only with 1 star. Horrible store. But, this store gets my 5 star treatment from 5 star service. Thank you so much superb employee! Great selection of products too. Here's a pic of what I bought.

This SDM is on the southeast corner of 16th and Bayview avenues. It's next to a Petro-Canada that I also used to frequent often years ago. I parked steps away from the main entrance. I walked in. This SDM is organized like most of its stores. You get the beauty section first. I needed toothpaste, which was a couple of aisles over. I was pleased that there was a sale on a variety of toothpastes. This store has a post office at the back. I had no idea. I do now! What's interesting about this SDM is that it has a drive-thru pharmacy. At first, I thought it was a drive-thru for Tim Hortons... haha! You can indeed pick up your prescription without leaving your car by heading over to the drive-thru pickup window. I've only experienced pharmacy drive-thrus a handful of times stateside. It was the only way to get COVID-19 tests done at CVS. It was my first time seeing a pharmacy drive-thru in York region and in Canada. My friend at work has been getting a carton of strawberry milk whenever we have lunch on Wednesdays. I saw one-litre cartons of strawberry milk at this drugstore and decided to give it a try. It's surprisingly not as sugary as I had anticipated. It was pretty good for someone who hasn't had some version of it since I was a kid with powdered strawberry Quik. This version wasn't lumpy, which I appreciated. This store has a good selection of Squishmallows. I was pleased. I used the self-checkout kiosk to scan my items. It took no time for me to scan my PC Optimum barcode on my phone and pay with a credit card. There was one human staffer at the checkout. She was dealing with a Chinese couple who were challenging a price on an item. It goes to show you that you still need a human and self-checkout kiosks won't dominate the world. There was plenty of parking when I was here on a Saturday evening. It was nice to return to this SDM after many years. I had a good shopping experience. (201)
