The pharmacist that works there is extremely rude and judgmental about your medications. I would advise going somewhere else

The Green Dispensary is a unique concept in pharmaceuticals as it is not averse to providing and…read moreinforming to its customers about alternative natural medications. The majority of all other chemists stock a minimal amount of vitamins and minerals and the staff don't have much knowledge to advise you about which is the best one for you, whereas The Green Dispensary does. Not only that but they are also a compounding pharmacy meaning they can concoct a medication suited to your requirements, a bit like a witches brew service...how cool is that! They also endeavour to be chemical free where possible and all of their hair and body range is free of harmful ingredients, so if you're allergic to non natural chemicals they can advise you which is best for your condition and won't harm you. There are some people so sensitive to chemicals in products they can easily land in hospital, much like people with nut allergies. Cheap chemical bulking agents, SLS and other non natural ingredients are contained in 99.9% of everything we buy for our bodies, even toothpaste, very scary that the 20th century is slowing killing us before our time should be up. In a nut shell they work hand in hand with western conventional medicine and complimentary medicine, having a wholisitc approach to medicine and it's in their best interests to keep you informed and healthy, so it's in your best interest to look out for yourself also. Education is key to gaining knowledge and researching the benefits of complimentary medicine, so don't poo poo it before giving it a try. The Green Pharmacy is a fresh and inviting open space with friendly and definitely helpful staff, short of going to a natropath, this is the inbetween stop to make.
Besides the regular pharmacy filling of prescriptions and purchases of Panadol, they have a great…read morerange of gifts. Out the front on either side of the doorway are items for sale like bags, perfumes, wall plaques and all sorts of things which change on a regular basis. They stock Clinique products, Revlon and a few other well known brands plus Sukin which I'm a big fan of at the moment as it's natural. The gifts are beautiful and are secluded to the side of the counter, a perfect location to browse whilst the script is being filled. A varied collection of items at standard gift shop prices but they do sometimes end up on the sale items table out front. The staff have always been friendly and helpful with recommendations. As a note, if you have the Entertainment book you'll receive twenty percent off the retail price, which is a bonus.

Perfect place to stock up for us women who like our powder room or bathroom to look like a European spa. From shampoo, bath wash, moisturizer, shaving essentials, sunscreen and more, they have it all! I found the make up range, skincare and perfume range much affordable and there are always specials here which are worth looking at. Nivea, Olay, Natio are some of their popular brands here and they have some excellent range here. I love shopping here for make up, especially mascara, lippie and eye shadow. It's the simple things really that we girls like to stock in our handbag and coming here makes shopping fun for all of us. Truly a family shopping destination as they cater for every product to match every family's needs.

Although not as big as the other chemist I've been too, they do stock a great variety of things from nappies, formula, medical slings, to health and beauty products and more. I like coming here during Christmas and Valentines Day as there is always something cute and cheap to be found here. Whilst they finally found their resting place amidst the new building taking shape, they will soon be joined by other tenants with the likes of Dan Murphy's, Target, Domino's, Sakura Sushi and Australia Post.

Sales staff are good, but the younger pharmacist is inadequate for the position he holds…read more Twice (prior to today) I have been given prescribed medication which has expired. This can be life threatening! This is why I always check before I leave any pharmacy. Yes I received an apology from the young pharmacist who was showing a high level of anxiety, but it's not good enough. He then proceeded to hand me the "fixed" item, which was again EXPIRED. Lucky for me I can see well and still have good cognitive abilities. If it's happened to me, I fear how many others it has affected. CUSTOMERS... PLS CHECK YOUR MEDS!

Andrew is the owner / pharmacist at this pharmacy and he is always friendly, willing to pass any helpful advice and yes, he knows most customers by name, which is amazing and does show his professionalism and friendliness. It is not a place to get bargain price for your scripts but it is a place to get high quality pharmacy service, with a smile. They are also with National Diabetes Services Scheme so pretty handy if you need any of the services/ supplies.

Once when I was looking for something hard to find, they had only one unit left and they held it for me while I went to the doctor, got the script, and then came by the shop to pick it up. Another time they matched a price from another pharmacy without asking to see a receipt or a flyer from the other store. These little touches may seem like no big deal but I've actually driven out of my way to pick things up at this pharmacy just because I like the superior customer service.

I discovered that the item I was searching for wasn't even in the aisles. It was poorly placed, as it could have been organised with similar products. While the word "discount" is in the name, the prices are no lower than those at any other generic pharmacy, so don't fall for the marketing. It's a shame since this is the pharmacy closest to me.

The chiropractors really know their stuff, will be honest with you and won't waste your time or money if their services aren't helping.

I really recommend this service if you're suffering from joint pain, back pain, migraines and the like and traditional medical options haven't helped.

On a trip to Marion I ducked in one day to have a half hour Remedial Massage which I can report was pretty good. In my opinion if you have a massage and it doesn't hurt at all, it hasn't really done much and this one gave a little pain but good pain that you could tell was working out the kinks in my muscles. Aside from massages, they do Reflexology, ear candling, hot stone massage and acupuncture. The staff are trained and are knowledgeable so if you let them know what sort of problems you are experiencing, they will definitely find something that will suit your needs. Also, for a half hr massage at around $30 it is pretty good value.

There is constantly changing art hanging on the walls that marion art gallery sell and the reception staff are lovely and efficient.
