Yes, it is more expensive but I promise you the pharmacists working there take their role seriously and are incredibly helpful.

This pharmacy is fairly big and has a bit range of toiletries and other personal care products -…read morenot just the prescriptions and pain killers. It is marketed as a wholesale pharmacy, and some items if on sale are definitely cheaper than in the supermarkets or other pharmacies. I was going there for this exact reason, I buy Nutraplus moisturiser (lots of it) and it is wholesale around $27. This place was selling it for this price for a while, but then jacked it up to over $32. I can buy online for cheaper, so that's what I am doing, but I would prefer to buy locally and support local business where possible. Anyway, the whole sale price has not increased online so I don't know why these guys are selling it for so much. That aside, there is a GP in the back of the shop, which is really handy if you need to see someone about a minor ailment and then you are straight in the pharmacy to fill the prescription. So convenient!

Fantastic one-stop-shop for cosmetics and personal care products. While their cosmetic variety…read moreisn't that diverse, they have exceptional deals on items like shampoo, face washes, toothpastes, etc. They're GP in the back is also fantastic, and gives student discounts for foreigners like myself who pay for health insurance. He's kind and thorough, and I prefer him to every other doctor I've seen in the area. It's really convenient having a GP within the pharmacy if you need a quick perscription. This place carries my highest recommendation for personal products and general medical care in Newtown!

It's a small, local shop but you'll find service that is absent in many designer boutiques. Approachable, professional staff who make you feel like they really care while also knowing you feel like crap and just want to take your pills and curl in up in bed. In addition to all your pharmaceutical needs, guess what-you will find all the other things you would normally find in a pharmacy: beauty products, hair care, umbrellas, band aids and surgical kits, etc. etc. A baby nurse is available on site every Tuesday from 10am-3.30pm. A simple, no fuss experience every time, which is exactly what you want when you're sick or just want to quickly purchase something specific. Open seven days a week.

I took them back and they would not give me my money back, even with my receipt. I told them I wore them two times my toes were hanging out of the ends They said they needed to contact the sales rep so I gave them 10 days to do that. Didn't hear a word from them so I called them today asking them if the sales rep had been by. They said no, and I could not get my money back because I needed to talk to the sales rep so rude. Yes small minded. Yes cheap yes you know how they are about the yen. He kept saying cannot do it's not right it's not right to give your money back. I said you should be the one chasing up. The customers always right you should just pay me back. I have my receipt. He said it's not right, so I said would post a review online he said go ahead. people like this need to lose their business for treating people like shit. only a matter of time Kirby chemist.

From the owner: 'Famous for value-famous for care'. I couldn't agree more. This pharmacy offers…read moreunbeatable prices paired with quality, attentive service. You'll find everything you need and more including: prescriptions, health vitamins, dental care, cosmetics and fragrances, hair and skin care, batteries and photo frames, and confectionary. The staff are always available to answer any of my questions and there is a naturopath on site every Thursday and Friday. I tend to get hay fever during spring and found a $25 pack of 50 Telfast tablets which is a bargain because that will last me a while. Parents will appreciate the big 'mother and baby' section stocked with nappies and wipes, bottles, toys, baby formulas, soothers and teething relief. You'll find some great savings on general household items you'd normally get from the supermarket such as soaps and detergent, washing powder, air fresheners, cleaning products, and paper towels; these products range from 99c to $3. They've also got some great gift packs and elegant chocolate bonbonnieres perfect for Christmas or Mother's Day. Conveniently open seven days.

Although Cincotta Discount Chemist is widely known for its discounts, competitive pricing and…read morespecials, it should be noted that the staff here are always exceptionally friendly, knowledgeable about the product they are selling and generally pretty quick, meaning you can easily get in and out. The pharmacists are always ready to offer advice and will give you a comprehensive idea about what you are buying and any other options that might be available to you. It is also a good place to pick up other supplies such as facial creams, deodorant and personal hygiene products that you might otherwise get at the supermarket. Another thing to note is that Glebe Medical Centre recently opened up next door, making going to the doctors and getting your prescription that much easier.

This pharmacy and in particular the pharmacist is beyond belief. Unlike other pharmacies, where you…read morewalk in to a friendly greeting, here you are met with a stony silence. If you ask a question such as "can I get this script filled" you are curtly told to put it down. You may be told there is a 30 minute wait, sometimes you are not told so you just wait in silent puzzlement as more customers get the stony treatment and you wait and wait... Today I left my prescription there (was told there was a 30 minute wait- why such a long wait always?) and returned in 45 minutes to find my prescription hadn't even been put in the queue! I asked the assistant why and she silently motioned to the curt owner/pharmacist. When I asked what had happened he(as usual) refused to make eye contact with me and basically treated me with complete contempt! Which, to be fair, is the way he treats everyone. Recently he lost a friend's repeats so the friend had to go back to the doctor and pay another $70.00 for a new prescription. Was there an apology? Hell no, not even an acknowledgement of any responsibility. Basically no eye contact and no response. The Redfern community deserve better than this idiot with his inefficiency and contempt for the customers that provide his livelihood. If there were another pharmacy near by this pharmacy would go out of business within months. I just don't understand what benefit there is in behaving so badly. Just check out the other comments on the web about this pharmacy.
