Lucky to have a neighborhood pharmacy that strives for good service and good counsel.

Sajid and the staff at Ballard Pharmacy are world class! Super convenient and very helpful -- so fortunate to have them in our neighborhood

do not print here. they tack on a $3 charge just to use the computer even if you are only printing 1 sheet (at $0.25 per black and white sheet) read more

Ballard has it all! Pharmacy, drug store, and UPS store. The team here really works hard and will go above and beyond. The pharmacist and team are always helpful, kind, and more than accommodating. They even do prescription delivery for no extra charge. Cannot recommend them enough. read more

Ballard is a throwback to the good old days when the pharmacists gave their patients personal service and treated them like friends. The personal service here is absolutely outstanding. I was visiting from out of town and ran out of my medications because of the February blizzard. However, Sajid Patel ("Saj") was extremely attentive to my situation and got directly involved so that I could have my much needed prescriptions despite the weather conditions. The store is also very clean, offers a large supply of day to day needs and services, and has a friendly, helpful staff. read more

Ballard Pharmacy could not be better. They treat you with respect and kindness. They always want you to have your medication without paying out of pocket. They will help you figure out how to make sure it's covered by insurance and give you information on how to do so. They genuinely care about your needs and make sure you get exactly what you are supposed to get and make sure it goes as smoothly as possible. They tell you about the medication you are getting and the potential side effects. All the staff will get to know you on a personal level and make you feel comfortable and cared for. There is not one negative thing that I can say about Ballard Pharmacy. They do delivery's for people that are in the radius (not sure exactly, but they do deliver to my apartment building which is about 7 blocks away). They always answer the phone and do not leave you on hold for long if at all. They are the perfect definition of a local mom and pop pharmacy that makes sure all your needs are met. I highly recommend Ballard Pharmacy to anyone new in the area. No other pharmacy comes close to the care and respect you will get from Ballard Pharmacy. 5 stars doesn't even do it justice for a review they would get an extra star if that was possible, but since the max is 5 they meet that mark easily without question. read more

I don't know many people that would say that they love their pharmacy, but I'm one of them! I love these guys. Always helpful no matter what you need. A great local business read more

After dealing with some other national chain pharmacies in the neighborhood over the years, I switched to Ballard. Unlike CVS or Walgreen's, I've never had to wait on line for more then a minute and my RX never gets lost. read more

Ballard Pharmacy is the kind of incredible local business you think doesn't exist anymore. The pharmacists here, particularly Saj, go above and beyond to make you feel cared for and get you what you need as efficiently as possible. To share a personal experience, after giving birth I needed a slew of medications. I was in bad shape. I called the pharmacy to get them and they told me they were already on their way to be delivered to me and wished me a speedy recovery. I burst into tears at this act of kindness. They may not have the rows and rows of products that a CVS or Duane Reade does but they will get you whatever you need. I feel so lucky that this is my local pharmacy. read more

My experiences have been good until now, if you ignore the UPS chaos and rudeness in the front of the store. But the female pharmacist gave me a vaccine shot very high on my arm, barely below the shoulder. It became so painful I could not move the arm after 24 hours and my range of motion has been affected. At the time I did not realize that the location of the injection site is very important. Do your homework before you go and be very careful if she is the person administering the injection. She is careless and SIRVA is real. I am hoping it resolves on its own without medical intervention. read more

What a fantastic piece of the community. Independent pharmacy with a great selection of products. The notary is one of the best there is-completely worth traveling from a different neighborhood for her. Big hurrah for Ballard Pharmacy! read more

This place is a neighborhood gem. I've lived in the area for the last two years and have used them for last minute personal need pickups; shipping needs (and pickups when the stupid FedEx guys don't want to ring the bell..); and some prescriptions - including ones that CVS couldn't fill. Every experience has been more than pleasant - this is truly a family owned business where they care about their customers. Two specific examples: - A few months ago one of those (annoying) FedEx guys dropped something off in several boxes that was super heavy; the team here was so nice and held the second box until I could come pick it up. - Tonight I also had a box to pickup and they snuck me in for a vaccine anyway! I'll personally be moving my prescriptions from CVS to this family owned business ASAP. read more

Great people who work there Always helpful you don't have to stand on the death line. I love their other store Oak Park Pharmacy the two of them are just the best in Park slope I think. read more

I needed a notary to notarize MY notary renewal application. Everyone in the pharmacy area seems to be a notary, so you really can find a notary there whenever the store is open. Although it's on the opposite end of the neighborhood from I live, I will make a point of shopping there more often. read more

This is my go to Pharmacy,not for pharmaceutical needs but for other services that they offer...in fact I've been coming here for years and have never been to the back of the store where the pharmacy is. They offer so many other services such as UPS pick up and returns,making copies, laminating items,lotto,mail box services and other things/services I may not be aware of. The only draw back the isles are a tad narrow and seem a bit congested at times however,the lines do move fast read more

The team at Ballard epitomizes what a neighborhood business should be like. My 6 year old was terrified of her flu shot, and the staff were extraordinarily patient with her throughout three attempts on three different occasions - during which my daughter screamed and struggled for extended periods. They were so supportive and caring, and finally got us through with a smile on her face. The proprietor Saj was extraordinarily caring and supportive, and it's clear he and his team really care about helping their customers. The little things are important and have gained in us customers for life. My daughter even wrote him a thank you note attached, here. read more

Ballard Pharmacy - Drugstores Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I moved into the neighborhood a couple years ago, and have been blown away with how Saj and this pharmacy makes me feel like I've lived here my whole life. He's always up for a challenge to help us save money that would otherwise go to big pharma! He's the best and actually truly cares. read more

This local and friendly pharmacy is just that! With all of the change that has come about post-Covid19, Ballard Pharmacy has been steadfast in service, customer care, and incredible resilience. Front desk customer service (FedEx or UPS included) is above the grade (A+++) and back desk (pharmacy) is first rate- bar none! We ought to be grateful to the owner and his staff for such-much neighborly love!!!!! Bless them all! read more

The best the best the best. Nice people. Good prices. Great customer service. The owner, Saj, is a total professional.

Ballard Pharmacy is wonderful because of the pharmacists they have (and what is a pharmacy without excellent pharmacists) and the quality and care of the people behind the counter. read more

Pharmacists are nice but the people working up front for shipping and ups services give you attitudes. If it weren't for their ups services, I wouldn't come here. Try Oak pharmacy instead- they're nicer and better customer service. read more

This place literally has everything that you want in a community store. When I first moved here, I thought it was JUST a pharmacy. How wrong I was. You want a covid test? They got you. You want to have your passport photos taken? They can do that. You want to return your Amazon packages? They do that too, and it's quick and easy. This "pharmacy" morphs itself into whatever you need. When in doubt, just walk in, you'll find whatever it is you're looking for. read more

The whole team here is great and really cares about people and the community. What more can you ask for?

A pharmacy that cares I Recommend everyone to come use this pharmacy. It's more than a pharmacy . They offers alot of services inside one place. The care they give to all your health needs are outstanding . Their delivery service is off the chain. They listen and try to help accommodate with your medical disability. If something is not on the shelf ask for it and management will order it for you if it's possible. They always order me items ,it comes the next day. The owners is very helpful. It's a very clean place and follows all guide lines for covid 19 safety. In this stressful time we all should patronize our neighborhood pharmacy. If your pharmacy is not doing much to wow you come here I'm sure you'll be satisfied. I give the staff and owner two thumbs up. I miss Anna she is out on leave right now. What a pleasant helpful young caring lady. A plus. . Thank you for being a friend and awesome pharmacy .Keep on doing what you all do best. read more

These guys go out of their way to be helpful and make life easier for their customers. During the pandemic and even now they'll send out prescriptions without prompting if you haven't been in to pick them up. Saj the pharmacist is so personable and kind too. read more

5 stars for Saj and team! Brought my son for Covid vaccine 2nd dose, and my son was very nervous but Saj made him feel comfortable and was incredibly patient and kind. I go here at least once per week for various convenient items and for UPS counter. A wonderful neighborhood spot, with friendly staff! read more

I am constantly amazed by how inexpensive my prescriptions are at Ballard. 1/2 the price of Walgreens. But more importantly, the customer service, the time the pharmacist, Saj spends helping customers get what they need, dealing with insurance and always with kindness. He's a gem. I'd never go anywhere else. read more

Can't recommend this place highly enough! The staff is always helpful and efficient, the pharmacist bends over backwards to be helpful, the shelves are fully stocked with everything from aspirin to mascara! They also have UPS services. And they've been amazing during the pandemic! No long wait times for shots or tests - in my experience. read more

My family has been using Ballard Pharmacy for many years. They've always been courteous, efficient, and kind. They work with me to get stuff done. They have a great team in there, and I really appreciate all their hard work doing Covid tests, vaccines, and filling prescriptions all at the same time. Highly recommended! read more

This is such a classic neighborhood pharmacy in a nostalgic type of neighborhood. Located on the corner of a "main street", just two blocks from prospect park; wide sidewalks; it almost feels like you've gone back in time. The pharmacy is just the right size - and it's an actual pharmacy. In other words, they don't sell all the junk food and alcohol that will drive you into needing medicine in the first place. The pharmacist is really nice and remembered my name/face since the first time I went there. Where else will you find that in New York? They even deliver medications to the home if you need that service. They also have a UPS shipping center which is super quick and easy to use. Bought something from Amazon and need to return it? No problem - just do the return thing online and bring your item in (no need to pack it usually) and they'll scan your return code from your phone, print the label and pack it up for you. Done. read more

This was my neighborhood pharmacy for 6 years. They do not enforce mask-wearing! I had a UPS package rerouted here against my will and was SCARED by going inside. One unmasked employee walking in with a coffee, two unmasked patrons at the narrow front -- this is a PHARMACY meaning high-risk, because it serves sick people. And it's tiny inside so no distancing is enforced. I am devastated to undercut their mom-and-pop store reputation and personalized service but if they don't enforce customers wearing masks, I interpret it as dangerous neglect and hazard. read more

Saj and his staff are always a pleasure to deal with. They're very efficient and always do a great job of communicating. A top notch community pharmacy! read more

Was so excited that my insurance allowed me to discover this neighborhood pharmacy. Saj and team are always so friendly and nice, super accommodating to customer needs. They also take time to explain what's covered/not covered under your insurance plan. The home delivery service was a surprise and I understand how some others were taken aback by it, but it just shows how they go the extra mile for customers (and you don't have to accept the delivery and go to store if you like). read more

I love everyone in here! I'm also suffering from an injury and when I called to see if they had an item I needed, they were very friendly and knew right away what brand of brace I required. The gentleman who I spoke with also said, "I hope you feel better" which meant a lot to me. read more

So good and so nice, the pharmacist is possibly the nicest guy I have ever met. They really go very far out of the way for you. Also it is nice to have a UPS and FEDex drop off in one spot. read more

The exorbitant pricing to use their incredibly slow WiFi to print out one page means they have lost my business in future. I will seek out other locations that do not charge $2.16 for 5 minutes of computer time to print one page. No other places charge this much for print services. Location was clean and staff was nice. read more

Ballard Pharmacy is a wonderful asset to our community. It is a full service pharmacy plus a UPS shipping store. Saj and his staff are knowledable, accommodating and always helpful. Thanks Saj for always being here for this community. read more

My husband and I have been using Ballard Pharmacy for about 15 years. They have consistently been top notch. The service is exceptional and so is the staff. We have prescriptions that need to be refilled monthly and sometimes Saj and the team will have them ready even before we call. It is a very warm, personal and local experience when you step foot inside. I would suggest if you have an issue to call the store to complain before posting on a public social media site such as this one. Their whole business model is based on relationships and Yelp is the antithesis of that. read more

The pharmacist is so friendly here. He says hello to everyone and seems to really care. He was able to prepare my prescription lightening fast. Everyone else there is very friendly as well. Really feels like a neighborhood business. read more

The pharmacist is amazing. He knows his customers and his medicine and his business. Although my insurance requires I use a terrible chain store on 9th street I come here for those special items that I have to buy out-of-pocket. I was considering a drive to Canada when I was facing an outrageous Rx bill and the pharmacist (Saj) told me his cost and charged me exactly that amount! I couldn't be more impressed with his compassion and ethics. I overheard Saj asking customers about their family members and their children's plans for Halloween. I'm so impressed I'm besides myself! read more
