I called and spoke with Greg(one of the pharmacists) and he was so kind over the phone. I had to rush the order because the first pharmacists and CVS did not tell me about Keefer's until I spoke with another pharmacist that told me about them right away. Greg understood the urgency and got on it right away. I was able to pick up the Rx the following day. I have a high deductible so Greg suggested I pay out of pocket with no insurance affiliation and it ended up significantly cheaper - by 50%. This was acceptable because I would just submit it for reimbursement to my HSA(Health Savings Account) similar to FSA(Flexible Spending). Apparently claiming one does not have insurance yields a cheaper cost - amazing how much less uninsured individuals are charged. This was definitely old school pharmacy but I liked it. My Mom was a pharmacist and it brought memories from my childhood. I walked around just looking at everything in the store. They have unique items. The prices were slightly higher than say Walmart or CVS/Walgreens so maybe that's why it seems the items don't appear too move as much - at least it appears that way (when items don't look like they've moved out of their spot on the shelf) but I could be wrong. I'm so bummed that I lived in Mount Prospect and Arlington Heights for ten years that I never walked into this place. I will DEFINITELY be coming back here again. If they provide the same cost for my other Rx then I will be giving them more of my business.

This pharmacy is the pinnacle of what courteous, and empathetic professionals should be. If you are…read moretired of dealing with big box pharmacies and a new pharmacist every month at those stores who doesn't know you, this is your place. Sami, the owner, is a dedicated businessman who does whatever it takes to get your prescriptions done as quickly as is possible and accurately. Given the nature of the business, of course the staff must maintain an, again, PROFESSIONAL, demeanor and treat each customer with respect. I would suggest this pharmacy to anyone moving to the area or who is here already! Unfortunately, I am moving to San Francisco in June and will not be able to use them, but to anyone in Chicagoland---this is your spot!

Free local delivery, or one can pick up at their store across the street from the CTA-Pace-Metra bus & train stations. However, I recommend dealing with them only by telephone and voicemail (despite what their website says). Email often gets lost, so I nearly got stuck on a refill, almost running out of my cat's vital medicine. And, staff do not know how to set up the phone/internet refill app for the customer, so I would avoid that too. (To the owner: I highly recommend that you remove the email and app mentions from your website, until you improve your IT systems to always work promptly and effectively with your staff and customers.)

I suppose younger people will not remember when it was standard practice for people to be treated with care and decency in their day-to-day human interactions. This is like going to the pharmacy when I was growing up, and the pharmacist was someone who knew you. I place a value on that.

Having had it up to *here* with Walgreens for a variety of reasons, I finally did some looking…read morearound and found Five Star Pharmacy. Though I'm in Park Ridge, they're near enough that I decided I wanted to give them a try and I like that they're an independent pharmacy. When I gave them a call, I think it was the owner herself that answered (though don't quote me on that). She said that they could do all the transfer stuff to get my prescriptions from Walgreens, and she confirmed that they took my insurance before going too far into the transfer info so that we'd be on the same page. She said that they'd be able to fill my prescription within a few hours once my insurance confirmed it was time to refill, and that was great since there are times I've had to wait a day or more to get it from Walgreens even though I think it's a fairly standard prescription. Then the thing that really surprised me is when she asked if I wanted it to be delivered--and then when I asked the price she said it was free. Another thing Walgreens has done away with in the last year or two is free delivery, so another point in the Five Star Pharmacy. They sent me a link to make the payment, so it was super easy. It was somewhat more expensive than what I paid at Walgreens, but I also don't know if the price of the medicine had increased a bit in the last few months. At any rate it wasn't so much higher that I wouldn't pay it for the quality of service an dot support an independent, local business (and pharmacies are particularly hard to find in the independent variety anymore). Once I made the payment, my prescription came within the next day (it may actually have been a few hours but I just can't recall when I made the payment). I was very pleased with the help, quick response/delivery and follow through. They are testing out a new type of prescription bottle in an effort toward sustainability and that is fantastic. Minor annoyance that the inside has some of the plastic folded in and because of that it makes it nearly impossible for me to just tip out a pill onto my hand since it gets stuck, but obviously not something I'd stop using them over even if they decided to switch to these permanently instead of the standard prescription bottle. I highly recommend them and really suggest that it's worth your while if you want to support a small, independent, women-owned business.

Compared to CVS, Walgreens, or any of the other corporate options, Holy Family Pharmacy stands head…read moreand shoulders above them all. They are kind and equally attentive to the laws and regulations which guide and restrict what they can and cannot do as well as the well being of the patient. I had an experience just before a holiday when all the doctors offices were closed and one of my Rx's was restricted by the wording on the prescription order which made the order a bit confusing. They went the extra mile, paged my doctor, got him on speaker and had him clarify a perceived restrictive order meant to be augmentative. No pharmacy has gone the extra mile regularly, placing the patient first while working within their restrictions. They are simply the best, kindest most caring group of pharmacists I have ever encountered and I hope they stay in business for the duration of my pharmaceutical needs. Danny and the female head pharmacist, Shamee (spelling murdered, apologies) are, again, simply the best. -R.Schmalz

Specially the younger one (Diana). While this concept of getting medication on lower prices (as opposed to our American greedy price gouging pharmacies are ) is appealing and a great idea, but, there's nothing appealing to do business with these two self hating unattractive women! it is the most depressing and unfriendly place to do business. One of the women, the older one with the heavy Russian accent is a tiny bit more willing to help, only if she can get her ass off her chair and computer screen. But the other one (Diana), seems to be the one who runs the place (at least it looks like it) is a VUTURE in every sense of the word. Unhappy, no manners and nothing graceful about her. Certainty, doing business with them makes an extremely unpleasant experience!!! I would avoid going to this place, at any cost!
