I have used People's Pharmacy for decades. The customer service is always friendly, professional, and helpful. Because they are a compounding pharmacy, I have been able to get prescriptions for unique situations for both myself and my pets. I highly recommend Peoples, as they are one of Austin's oldest pharmacies and it always has a good selection of nutrients and items you may not find at the big box pharmacies. read more

Came in today for a supplement and I had an amazing experience. Neil in the wellness department helped me, and he was very knowledgeable, genuine, kind and friendly. He answered every question I had thoroughly, and helped me to feel confident with my supplement selection. I'm definitely coming back here again. . read more

I've been going to this location for decades. AS of late the customer service is slow, curt and unhelpful. I don't know how you let this happen, it's a neighborhood family store. Do better. Today two counter people were gabbing about this and that, ignoring me and after a while one finally made eye contact with me and asked if i needed to check out. I had been standing at the checkout counter for right around 5 minutes. Other times when i ask about specific products, instead of saying no, they show me a product that has ZERO to do with what i ask. Maybe I'll try 38th street pharmacy next time, it's just as close. read more

This small pharmacy has been around for as long as I've been in Austin. Their pharmacists and staff are super knowledgeable and helpful. I especially like going in to People's if I am looking for supplants and have questions about what might work best. The amount of information they've been able to share is truly impressive. Whether you are just stopping but to grab a smoothie or quick bite or go in to pick up a prescription, they offer a cool, unique selection of healthy foods and snacks to look at. I've discovered some favorite new brands here when waiting for my lunch. This is a very different experience than going to a big chain of pharmacies. I feel like the staff at People's truly cares and wants to help. What more could you ask for in a pharmacy? read more

Great selection of supplements and healthy groceries. They're my chosen pharmacy -- it feels healthful to walk into this local business and interact with the caring staff. I've gotten good advice for myself and my kids there too. read more

Really nice people working here. I went to pick up a prescription gel for my cat, the pharmacist was very helpful in giving me the instructions on how to apply the medication. read more

I stopped into People's Rx over the weekend because my nutritionist didn't have the supplement I needed in stock and she suggested I try this place. What a cute little spot. It's small but they have some great products. I was stoked to find GFY's gluten free everything bagels in their freezer so I definitely grabbed those. They ended up having one of the three supplements I was looking for which was a win for me. It was fun to look around and everyone was really nice and friendly. Definitely recommend! read more

I went to peoples today to pick up a compounded medicine that they make for my cats thyroid disorder. I feel like I have long Covid so I asked the pharmacist if there was anything I could take. I am always pleasantly surprised on how helpful and knowledgeable they are here.in addition to prescription and OTC meds, there are snacks and items for lunch, beauty, products, and homeopathic cures. This is a great little spot if you want to be taken care of. read more

Gave misinformation about a vegan diet, (one of them being tofu is inflammatory). It seems like doctors have personal biases about vegan diets, which should be avoided when trying to help a customer! read more

I have been a customer for many years. I love their selection of quality supplements and truly appreciate the entire staff. The food changed recently and is now made somewhere else so it isn't quite as good as it used to be but I understand why they did this. read more

After going to my primary care, physician, and discovering, I had an infection, I decided against antibiotics, and instead visited with the health staff at peoples pharmacy. They are so helpful, pointing out other remedies and solutions to help your body heal in the most natural way. Great selection of products for all different elements. In addition to delicious and healthy food. read more

Let's talk points. People's Points. I discovered them this morning. It's a loyalty program that accrues dollar credits just for buying stuff from them that you already need. Now I've been through a few of these programs elsewhere, and they seldom seem to pay off before one of several things happens: 1) The store closes; 2) The program changes/ends/expires; 3) Points expire; 3) You never go back there again. That gimmick always ends in sad trombone. This one rolls differently. I went to order something to be delivered via curbside, and found much to my surprise that waiting for me was effectively a 16.67% discount on my current purchase. I mean, how cool is that? Once again, this is an item I could have had delivered to my doorstep for the same retail price by Amazon, but this is proof that buying local pays off. Amazon ain't got points. People's does. Thanks, People's! You are once again my favorite go-to! read more

They will not give you a receipt when you ask for one. They will also refuse to send you an electronic version of your receipt for insurance claims. read more

Store is fine but don't special order anything from them. They used to just charge you when the order comes in but now they text you it's there and if you don't respond within a few hours they take your hard earned points you've received with your rewards from past purchases. They proceed to then charge you which is expected. Upon questioning this new practice an employee stated it's something in exchange for the special order whatever this means? .,,, employee said was backed up by management. It seems that they make judgement calls and new protocols at will.. do yourself a favor and don't special order your supplements here as employees and management make decisions on your account without informing you. read more

Such an amazing discovery in Austin to have an entire store dedicated to more natural ways of healing. That's not all - they have a team of pharmacists who are knowledgeable and helpful in recommending the right products too! read more

Just awesome! Lots to choose from. The food is great. I like the natural pharmacy. You can see a natural doctor

I was directed to the south lamar location to conduct my betterway blood test. I was really impressed at the conveniency of this simple finger collection and that it was offered at a local pharmacy rather than a lab. The staff at this store was super friendly and helpful. The layout of the store was open and they offered a lot more than just medications. I will be returning for my wellness needs! read more

I have only been to a People Rx pharmacy one other time due to picking up a special supplement that was recommended to me. This time I came to People RX since I was getting a compound prescription from my physician. The process of filling my script was easy and the staff was on top of things. A staff member called me ahead of time to go over the price and explain it could take up to 48 hours for the fill due to it being a compound. No worries there and even better it was a shorter turn around time. When I was leaving I had noticed a sign in the parking lot indicating they had gluten free dairy free pumpkin pies. I almost turned around and headed back in but unfortunately, I was short on time. I can foresee myself in the future stopping in again to try some of their bake goods. read more

Excellence in every way! The deli is fantastic, wellness kind & knowledgeable- so happy to know this local gem!

Excellent staff and service ! My favorite place to stop in go quality supplements and food items !!!

I don't live near Peoples Rx anymore since I moved out to the East side but I still drive all of the way over to pick up my prescriptions. Every interaction I have ever had with staff has been pleasant. The pharmacists are caring and thorough and private explaining new prescriptions and are patient to answer any interaction or side effect questions I have. This is also the source of some of my favorite comfort food in the city. Their sandwiches on homemade keto bread are delicious and the butter bone broth is just the absolute best. All of their take-out salads and snacks are delicious. They also carry some of my favorite brands, like Bulletproof and Fond Bone Broth, as well as CBD oil that I use for my back pain (way less intense than prescription meds and it does help). read more

Ridiculously knowledgeable friendly staff. Way better pricing than the larger chain pharmacies. Not sure why people would go anywhere else? read more

People's Pharmacy has been an Austin prized-possession for a quarter century. Their five locations are convenient, customized and attentive. People's Rx is an alternative pharmacy that concentrates more on your health than they do on discount cosmetics and clearance candies. (I'm not knocking CVS and Walgreen's - I need both in my life!) Someone said to me once that Austin takes a business and customizes it to make it...well...Austin. Although I think this might be a bit cavalier, there is truth in what he said. Austinites (including myself) sometimes suffer from OPA syndrome (Overly Proud Austinite) and we unknowingly (or purposefully) forget to remove our rose-colored glasses. But that's not the point here, is it? The point is, People's Rx is a business that has been customized to fit Austin. And it fits like a glove. Although I'm always a bit disappointed by their selection at this S. Lamar locale (I might suggest a larger store), they take their job as a pharmacy seriously. I'd recommend People's Rx for their attention to detail and their dedication to giving you the best options when it comes to your health. Despite it's size, this S. Lamar store has a warm and inviting atmosphere. A deli with healthy made-to-order foods demands much of the building's space. Most of the store's product is natural/organic/healthy living, with a few items that can be found anywhere (ie: brand name toothpaste). They have a tiny book section and a few gifty items here and there. The pharmacy's website may actually rival its physical store. Keeping in tune with the pharmacy's mission to empower people when it comes to health care decisions, the website is packed....and I mean packed....with info. Recipes, drug information, events calendar, ingredient information (nice!), health tools, info on health conditions, herbs, supplements....this list may never cease. I'm confident that People's Rx could help you with any health condition. In fact, they probably carry something organic that can help you stay awake whilst reading never ending yelp reviews. Two tablespoons of People's Rx. Repeat as needed. read more

Cynthia was just so helpful! I called and asked a hundred questions and she did her thing. I already loved this place but I just had an informative, intellectually interactive, pleasant experience and it was truly calming, I gotta tell ya. There is delicious, incredibly healthy, eco and soul conscious food. There are employees that actually know how drugs and supplements and our body's needs work in concert. I haven't used the pharmacy but I've heard good things. Every time I go in there are ten new things I want to try. Going to People's Pharmacy is like going to the grocery store when you're starving. You want everything. Well, I do anyway. I've never had anything but wonderful experiences there. Just don't go with little kids because you won't be able to peruse while chasing! Haha! read more

Used to be a huge fan of People's but after today, I don't know if I will return. I recommended them to so many people and have spent a great deal of money there. Today I was not allowed to enter without a mask. This is an affront to my rights. I understand it's a business and they can choose their policies but this has gone too far. Wake up people; look at the actual data! Don't be sheep and don't trade with sheep! read more

I have been a loyal People's customer for years. Love the family and I am especially fond of the holistic selection and employees as well as the deli. Everyone for 12 years plus has always been delightful. Only recently have I started to have to use the actual pharmacy in earnest, because both my daughter and my husband have chronic illnesses. I can say without hesitation, the pharmacy department, specifically all of the pharmacist, are incompetent and unprofessional -- I would be shocked if any one of them ever received above a C in pharmacy school. They consistently believe that they know better than our doctors what medication is needed and when to dispense it. Which I could probably handle if they would bother telling me before all hell breaks loose in our household because we don't have timely access to the appropriate medications. Twice now they have said they are uncomfortable filling prescriptions as if they're in anyway capable of making that decision in a vacuum w out consulting a medical team or patient. The first time they did it with some very heavy pain medication my husband, who is dying of cancer, needed. Not only did they refuse to fill it they didn't bother to tell us that they were refusing to fill it. "no one here is comfortable filling these prescriptions" is what I was told days later when I called and was completely out of meds. Of course this was on a weekend when nothing could be done at all. When we and our doctors finally figured out what they were doing we had to call and explain that he has multiple doctors and an issue that is consistently getting worse therefore more and more pain meds are needed ...why they wouldn't have been able to figure this out I have no idea. And why oh why they wouldn't have picked up the phone and mentioned this when the prescription orders came in is another mystery. After the doctor and Explained all this they were nothing but apologetic. Never mind that my husband suffered unbearable pain for about four days. But wait it doesn't end there, they did it AGAIN just this week. Same story only this time they refused to refill my anxiety medication two days before the last pill was out (and therefore in the grace period ). Because once again, "no one there felt comfortable filling it". Reason being bc I kept filling it a few days early each month. Keep in mind this is a fairly new and a PRN medication so don't even get me started on how ridiculous that thought process was. Once again they also chose not to tell us that they weren't going to fill it when it was called in. I had to call and find out. So if you want a lot of judge-y morons definitely go to People's but if you want educated professionals go somewhere else. read more

I can't believe it took me 3 years of living in Austin to find this place! This is well beyond your typical pharmacy. Not only do they have the standard western medicine, but they also offer a HUGE selection of vitamins, supplements and other holistic avenues. Don't know what you need? Ask for a consultation with any one of their highly educated staff, of whom some are Doctors of Naturopathy and Dietitians. To top it off, order from their amazing menu of smoothies, sandwiches or bakery goods. All of which can comply with any diet choice - from vegan to paleo and gluten-free. And BONUS: It's all locally-sourced food coming from the likes of Johnson's Backyard Garden on the east side to ranchers just outside the city limits and the purchasing manager has a personal relationship will all the vendors they use. Truly, this place is amazing. read more

Peoples Rx - Pharmacy Near Me - Austin, Texas

Didn't know I could ever love a pharmacy, but I totally do! I've been coming here since I've moved to Austin over 4 years ago and no matter where I live in the city I always come here. My prescriptions are always ready super fast once they're called in. Gina the Pharmacist is unbelievably helpful and super friendly. She's amazing every time I visit. The little food deli inside also has great food. Highly recommend! read more

So here is the sad story: my elderly dog started to have seizures about two weeks ago, and I brought her to the veterinarian on March 7, 2019. Our vet ordered a compound prescription (anti convulsant) immediately and made it urgent, because the dog was in distress. The same day People's Rx called me at 11:18 am and let me know that the medication would be ready in 48 hours. I let my veterinarian know and she called People's Rx again to let them know that this was an urgent case. During the night from March 8 to March 9 the seizures got so severe, that we were sure, Athena (our dog) would not survive. She did, but it was obvious her brain was not functioning anymore and we couldn't see a chance for recovery. We called the vet and Athena was put to sleep at around 11:30 am on Saturday, March 9th. The same day, at 4:29 pm, I called People's Rx and let them know to cancel the prescription because my dog had been put to sleep. They readily did, which kind of gave me the feeling that they hadn't even started working on it. This was about 53 hours after their first call, when they told me about the time frame of 48 hours. Granted, we don't know whether our dog's life could have been saved by giving her the medicine earlier, but it is clear that People's Rx didn't make it a priority to prepare a medication for an animal that was in severe distress. I know it's "just" an animal, but our family is heartbroken. Thanks for nothing, People's Rx. read more

After being overcharged at Randall's I inquired at People's and got a quote that was 6 times less, so I transferred all my scripts to Peoples #2. I have experienced nothing but positivity from all the staff. Staff on the floor are very knowledgable with all the products and are very helpful. They also carry Richard's Rainwater!!!!! read more

Travis, the manager, was kind enough to call in a particular poison ivy medicine. I work closer to 183 and 620 so he called it in to that location. I was able to pick it up the next day! It was so simple! Love this Austin resource! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Peoples Rex! They truly care about health & wellness. The Pharmacy at this location is super busy and they are human and not always perfect. But I have so much love and respect for them as they apologize find solutions when problems arise. These guys & gals work so hard to get everything done under deadlines and try their best to get a good price. The sandwiches, salad, juice & brodo are also delish! read more

I could really do without the snarky attitude. I entered the store this Sunday a little after 6pm. Right away, a self-important white coated twenty something came up to me and announced "Sorry. We are closed. We close at 6." (And yet whose fault is it that the open sign was still out and the doors were still unlocked...your hapless customer?) Why am I being treated like an unwelcome boil? I politely said I had a sign for the community area which she agreed to take and also mentioned I had some thyroid RX I had wanted to pick up. She just shrugged her shoulders. Now, dear reader I do have additional medicine at home but she didn't know that nor did she care to ask. After frequenting this joint for over ten years, you think they could at least treat their long term customers a hair or two better. read more

OH - People's Pharmacy how do I love thee? Let me count the ways! #1 - Super smart, helpful, outrageously customer service oriented REAL people. In over 7 years I haven't had one bad experience with the staff. Actually, my interactions have always been ***** experiences. Over the top! #2 - Every person I have recommended to go there has called me back to rave about them and thank me for turning them on to them. #3 - When my little boy got a UTI and the idiots at the pediatricians office didn't return my phone calls and gave him the wrong medicine (causing him to SCREAM in pain for hours)...People's knew what to give him homeopathically and what to do to keep him well - and lots of concern on top of that. #4 - When insurance wouldn't cover an expensive medicine at a regular drug store I called them (it was one of those last hope moments) for advice on what to do alternatively...they offered to get the medicine and let me pay what I could and then make payments. Blew me away - made me cry that people can actually care! wow! #5 - totally fun to shop there - neat things everywhere you look. #6 - They have the amazing yogurt in glass jars from White Egret Farm! #7 - They have the amazing raw honey (forget the name of it). Need I go on? read more
