What a wonderful pharmacy! I am able to get great gifts there, as well as some wine or a case of beer; all while I wait for my prescription.
Now, Bob, the pharmacist, is a true Godsend. He can and will help you with any medical problem he possibly can. The man has helped me switch off some of my medications and get on to supplements instead. He has been able to solve a few medical issues before the doctors even could.
Honestly, I spent almost 20 years with my old big box pharmacy. I loved the '24-hour' service. How often was I there in the middle of the night with an emergency prescription? A wonderful three times. I'm sure I had emergency room medication to cover it anyways. The service there though? I don't consider standing there ringing you out service. Or, just answering questions for prescriptions based on what the screen says- well, I don't really find that comforting or helpful. My new pharmacist either knows and advices, or will it for you research and get back to you.
On a completely different note... My father passed away last month and walking into this little pharmacy, I got greeted with a huge hug. They knew from reading the paper (a tiny little nothing of an obituary!) They were going to send a card but I had stopped in. OK, what pharmacy do you know that does that??
I am just saying, these little 'mom n pop' places are amazing. You can't find the service anywhere. It's truly personal. There's a care and compassion behind their work, their words and their service.
Hats off to you, Bob and wonderful staff! read more
