The Pharmacy

When you step in the door at The Pharmacy you know this is not your typical pharmacy. You realize that the focus is on you. With its clean appearance and uncluttered aisles it feels different than your average pharmacy. It is very modern, open, airy, and clean.

They have plenty of staff to serve you and the staff seems to know everyone. This is just a friendly, positive atmosphere. It feels like Home. The pharmacists are not only readily available if you need them, but they make it a point to seek you out and make sure you’re needs are met, or just to say hi, how are you doing. The pharmacists and whole staff are very knowledgeable; they make me feel like I am special, like I’m part of their family. They care about me!

There is a reason medications are by prescription only, and this pharmacy makes sure you understand the proper use and dosing of your medications. They even have a private consultation room.

You don’t have to wait an hour for your prescription; they are fast, accurate, and affordable. For those who are in a hurry they have a drive thru window.

As part of their Family Care they offer free flavorings and dosing spoons for your child’s medication, free delivery if you can’t get out, bone density, cholesterol, diabetes, and a facial analyzer screening. They also offer special packaging for people needing help organizing their medication.

This is a pharmacy worth driving to for their Family Care
