I recently transferred all my prescriptions here from CVS. Don't get me wrong--I like CVS--but sometimes it feels like everything revolves around the almighty dollar.
This pharmacy may be smaller, but it's packed with genuinely wonderful people. One thing I've learned is that we, as patients, sometimes need a little patience too. The pharmacists don't make the rules--the insurance companies and government do. And let's be honest... the insurance companies seem to excel at making life unnecessarily complicated. (Looking directly at you, Aetna. )
What I really appreciate is that the pharmacists and staff actually try to help. If there's a coupon, a discount program, or a more affordable option, they'll often suggest it before you accidentally have to sell your firstborn just to afford a 30-day supply. Using prescription coupons isn't being cheap--it's being smart.
I've also learned that not every delay or refill issue is the pharmacy's fault. Sometimes your doctor needs to update a prescription, review your medications, or catch a potential drug interaction before they can legally fill it. As frustrating as that can be, I'd much rather have a pharmacist preventing me from becoming a zombie than simply handing over a bottle and wishing me luck.
The staff has always been kind, helpful, and genuinely interested in making sure I get the medications I need safely and at the best price possible. I'm really glad I moved all my prescriptions here, and I honestly wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. read more
