For a small, local pharmacy, it doesn't get any better than Ballard. They deliver your medicine for free, have a lottery stand inside, a toy section in the back and both generic and name brand medicines. This is the only place I ever go to buy medical supplies and the staff there are very kind and know what they are talking about. read more

A wonderful pharmacy with kind people. I switched all of my prescriptions to Ballard after moving to the area and they have been the most reliable pharmacy I've ever used. They knew me by name the third time I walked in and have made all prescriptions super easy. I can't say enough good things about them! I highly recommend them. read more

All of the people who work here are incredibly friendly, caring, and helpful. We used their notary services twice and it was so quick and easy. read more

Friendliest & best service! They just called me to say they got a free sample of one of my prescriptions and offered to mail it to me. Always so nice and helpful! read more

This is the best pharmacy ever. Saj has helped me out of so many jams -he not only looks out for my health, but keeps an eye out for overcharging/insurance issues. I feel very grateful this is my local. read more

Want friendly customer service? Require a warm attentive pharmacist? Desire to support your local mom&pop? This is what Ballard and Saj, the pharmacist, offers every dang day- no exceptions. Oh yes, you can also send your UPS packages here!!!! read more

This is the nicest pharmacy I've ever been to. They are incredibly kind and thoughtful, wonderful over the phone, and quick to help if you are looking a little lost. I can't recommend this place enough, makes me feel grateful to be a part of this neighborhood. A real gem of a spot and they really care about helping people. read more

I second all the glowing reviews for Saj. Any time you call for a refill it's ready in a flash. I am writing this as I am sitting on hold for CVS Pharmacy for something my doctor sent in to them and I'm about to give up! read more

They don't come better than these folks. The most caring people around. Walgreens will be setting up shop in the neighborhood soon, closer to where I live, but I intend to continue to go here for all my prescriptions! read more

If you miss that old-fashioned, personal experience you used to have at your pharmacy, you just found the place you'll get it. I'm talking to you, devotees of Ansonia, which has (sadly) closed. You'll find all the familiarity and personal service right here from the moment you walk in, to the time it takes you to head back to Saj for your prescription. You will walk out smiling. read more

Sorry (and surprised) to read about another poster's bad experience. In my experience, the folks at Ballard bend over backward to be helpful. If I need a med they don't carry, they special order and get it within a day. And when I go there to pick something up, I never have to wait more than a minute or two (unlike the endless depressing waits at big chain pharmacies). People there care about you & about their jobs (again, I'm comparing to the big chains here). I hope they are always part of the neighborhood. read more

You can tell the difference between here and a chain drugstore. I've been going here for years. They greet me by name and are always friendly and helpful. Really like this place! read more

Although the chain pharm is closer, I go out of my way to come to this pharmacy because of the kindness and the service. When sick or healing, a caring provider including pharmacist matters. read more

Never been to a better pharmacy than this place! The pharmacist is someone whose willing to go all the way to help you out and everyone who works there is nice! read more

When Walgreen's opens on Prospect Avenue, I will walk right past it and get my prescriptions filled at Ballard. Incredible service - my daughter was prescribed hypoallergenic formula and they went above and beyond to research how we could get it, even though we couldn't get it from them (not because they don't carry it, just because of a weird quirk of our insurance that requires us to order it from a medical supply company) - so basically they spent hours on the phone with OTHER COMPANIES trying to help us get what we needed, They are always friendly and helpful - a real neighborhood gem! read more

Convenient, efficient and friendly. And they have UPS and notary public. Tons of services in one!

Best pharmacists around! Helpful, knowledgable, and friendly--just what you want in a neighborhood pharmacy. The store carries almost everything you need-though it's smaller than a chain and so doesnt have a huge selection. I highly recommend getting prescriptions here where you get highly personal attention. read more

Excellent prices, been going here all my life. Their greatest asset, though, is the incredible staff. Such kind, friendly and generous gentlemen running this place. I live in CA now but still get my meds here when I visit. They're worth the trip. read more

Cant ask for better service, staff is always kind and gentle and know how to treat customers. In this modern age who would want to give a prescription a giant chain who can share your data to god knows who, better to stay in a small place read more

Great pharmacy! Been using them for many years. Nice, friendly, helpful, Mom & Pop business. Pharmacist is ultra fast and has an incredible memory. A pleasure to do business with. read more

Pretty good local pharmacy. Never had a problem.

I love this pharmacy! I grew up in the suburbs where chain stores rule. It is so nice to have a Mom & Pop shop where they actually give you personal attention! The pharmacist here is very knowledgable, remembers his customers, and takes the time to explain things to them in detail. They deliver orders (and take the initiative in doing so!), and they have even delivered to me on credit before -- haven't heard of that since the 1950's! I always feel very well taken care of there. read more

This is a great little mom-and-pop pharmacy, where they know you by name and go out of their way to give good service. Once they even delivered my prescription unasked, because a few days had gone by and I had forgotten to pick it up! If they don't have what you need, they will try to order it. The only complaint I could have is that it's smaller than the big box pharmacies, so their selection may not be as good, and it's not 24-hour -- but a small price to pay for good service (and if you know in advance, they can probably order it for you). read more

I decided to switch to a more local pharmacy and I am glad I found Ballard Pharmacy! The pharmacy staff knew exactly who I was when I walked in to pick up my prescription after speaking to them on the phone. The service is efficient and friendly. Highly recommended! read more

Always courteous, helpful, fast with prescriptions. Give unbiased advise on over the counter meds.

Ballard Pharmacy gets it right every time. The pharmacist is warm, knowledgeable, and goes out of his way to help my family minimize out-of-pocket expenses for prescription medications. Service is fast and efficient, but with a caring, personal touch. read more

An excellent pharmacy with the best custumer service I have ever seen In a comunity drug store. I highly recomend this store. Need counsling on anny medications that you are taking then this is a place for you. Need friendly custumer service then this place is for you. Very satisfied with this stores servicr:) read more

Really nice, neighorhood place. The pharmacist is helpful, knows your name and prescriptions. Better prescription prices than any of the chains. Decent price on all other goods. Nice to have an old-fashioned neighborhood pharmacist who knows his job, the meds, and you, and makes sure you know all the necessary instructions, etc. read more

Hands down the best experience you could ask for. They are the kindest, most responsive and friendly people. A true neighborhood experience. I have seen them bend over backwards to help people in distress. They know me and remember my prescriptions, they are unfailingly polite and respectful. I literally have to come pretty far across the park to get here but I am loyal to their amazing customer service. read more

Sick and tired of waiting in lines to get your prescription from those big chain pharmacies? Well I was and that is why I always come to Ballard. The pharmacy staff goes out of its way to accommodate all your needs and you pay the same copay for your medications as big chain pharmacies. If you want to receive the best possible service that you deserve, then come over to your friendly neighborhood pharmacy, Ballard! read more

Unbelievable service, conscientious employees, knowledgeable and honest pharmacists: why would anyone in this neighborhood go anywhere else? A large chain pharmacy opened three doors down from me and I still walk the four blocks to Ballard anytime I need a prescription. (Plus they deliver). read more

i can't say enough great things about ballard pharmacy. i'm so happy to have a local non-chain pharmacy, with a pharmacist who knows my name. saj works so hard to find me the best prices on my rx, and he's always friendly and helpful. how he ramins calm during calls to doctors and insurance companies, i don't know, but he does it easily. plus, ballard delivers, and they have not only the basic drug store items but also a whole section of newer, trendy items--burts bees, etc. grateful to have an independent drug store in my nabe! read more
