I met the owner of Hancock Pharmacy Sai Chalasani, nearly 15 years ago when he opened Hancock…read morePharmacy located in Ansonia. I interviewed Sai for a local newspaper on the opening of his pharmacy in Ansonia. At the time, he told me that he came to Ansonia because most pharmacies didn't deliver medication, so they wanted to "pick up prescriptions and deliver them too". Sai seemed to be sincere in his desire to help his community. At the time. I was a regular CVS customer, but soon the long lines, long wait times, and rude service wore me down. Not all staff, nor pharmacists at CVS were bad, but the overall experience of getting medication at CVS was too stressful. I remembered Sai and Handcock Pharmacy and transferred my insurance and prescriptions to Hancock. What an amazing change. No long lines, no attitude, and true to his word, if you cannot pick up your meds, Hancock Pharmacy in Ansonia will deliver. I have developed serious health issues, and Sai and his staff have been available to answer questions, fill prescriptions, and deliver medication when I cannot leave my home. They have always been kind, respectful, and courteous. They may not have CVS' sales, coupons, or their after-holiday candy sales, but they get a thumbs up for a great pharmacy in Ansonia

There is also a juice bar, but we have not tried that.

The owner is very gracious and friendly. Her elderly mother is the pharmacist, still going strong and working diligently. I had a wonderful time browsing and chatting with the owner about her beautiful parakeet (or could be a cockatiel, I forget), the history of the pharmacy (apparently it's one of the oldest in the state), and pretty much anything and everything. I finally decided on a tiger plushie for my friend, and when I told her it was a birthday present for a friend, she (for FREE, mind you), boxed the plush, wrapped the present in gorgeous, purple paisley wrapping paper, and tied red and blue ribbons in elaborate bows in the center. I was truly stunned! I forget her name, but the owner is truly a wonderful lady. She was very humble and apologized for the gift shop being "sparse" (it seemed very well stocked to me) and suggested that I come back around Christmas because she said she goes all out and decorates lavishly for the holidays. I'm kicking myself for not going back, but I do intend to return and shop there someday. I highly recommend this place for someone looking for good, old-fashioned customer service with a smile and a nice assortment of gifts.

If you're on a less common medication, expect when you go for a refill, to get maybe 17 out of 90 prescribed, and then have to come back a few days later for the balance. I was told, by a not over-solicitous pharmacist there that if I wanted, I should call a week early to be sure they had it in stock. And recently, when I had an infection, my primary doc phoned in an antibiotic Rx, but the pharmacist decided to leave an hour early, so no meds could be dispensed. My low-grade fever became a much higher fever by the next day when I had access. (The MD was having his own emergency). I was told to return 9AM next day, even though google, etc. says their office hours are 10AM-5PM. Oh, and most of the time (i.e., when Sonali isn't there) they don't answer the phones; they let them go to voice mail. Can't be bothered talking to people, I guess. So I waited an extra hour before driving in. After almost 30 years, I'm going elsewhere!
