Needed UTI meds on a Sunday and didnt want to spend another night shivering. All the usual suspects in Fidi like CVS.. Walgreens Duane had closed pharmacies. So glad coming out of Doc's office I found this gem of a pharmacy. Super, nice and polite folks. Pharmacist was great, chill and informative. Definitely recommend! A neighborhood gem. read more

Quite surprised with unprofessionalism and unhelpful behavior displayed by the pharmacy staff. I've had multiple instances where questions for the pharmacy were met with unprofessionalism. No matter how polite and succinct the communication to pharmacy staff is framed, I am always met with disdain. Never experienced that in other pharmacies in the city, including ones not part of a chain (i.e. CVS). Will rather go to Tribeca Apothecary and even HealthSource Pharmacy uptown to get better service. read more

This is the best pharmacy I've ever been to. The service is incredible; they care about each and every customer and it's a very personalised experience. read more

I ventured here today to pick up some paper towels. To my delight, I saw Bounty and because they are relatively hard to come by in a post Covid world, I figured I'd grab one. However, to my ultimate dismay, I was informed it was $28! Yes, $28 for Bounty Paper towels when I'd say I need average you would could get this for about $14 or $15 bucks. After thinking about for awhile, I decided to grab what I thought was the $28 bounty, I was informed I grabbed the $35 one. $35 dollars for the 12 pack of double roll--this was utterly ridiculous and I just opted to get several of a cheaper quality paper towels. Back in March or April, I did see them on the news, for price gauging. I didn't think much of it because I had been to this location, as I used to work just a block away. The prices here were always great and never had an issue. (You can even see my previous top from 2017 stating that). This is the sole reason my review is a three and not a one for the ridiculous amount they are charging for Bounty paper towels. I saw a few other reviews who referenced seeing them on Pix 11 and I even read the responses from management and/or owner, but in this case, there is no justification for doubling the price, this is price gauging; however, as the consumer, you have the right to decline to pay the high premium a store is charging due to a pandemic, which was the right I exercised today. I'd return here in the future, but just not for paper towels! read more

Downtown Pharmacy - $35 dollars for Bounty!! - Drugstores Near Me - New York, New York

Such a great pharmacy. Excellent service. So friendly and accommodating. Helped me find cheaper options while I was changing insurance. Wish I switched from Duane Reade years ago read more

I've been going to downtown pharmacy for over 20 years and they are absolutely amazing. I know ever pharmacist by name and they all know me - the staff is incredible and take amazing care of me and my prescriptions as well as informing me of any possible adverse effects - they let me know which medications I should take at night and which in the morning - they'll call me when a refill is due and deliver to my husband for me by Columbus circle from downtown !! I live in White Plains now and I will not even consider changing my pharmacy - James, Lawrence, Steve, Eugene, Brenda. Mike, Anna and basically every person there know everything about hence why I would never consider changing - love them all and they are literally like family. PLEASE GO THERE AND USE THEM AS YOUR PREMIER PHARMACY I PROMISE YOU WONT REGRET IT - from their loyal customer, friend and practically a family member Jeanette Torres read more

See all

I've been going to this pharmacy since the 1990s; it's special and one of the few local places to be found downtown. The staff is excellent and always professional, as well as friendly and competent. They carry things you can't find anywhere else when you just want to run out to pick up something, plus the prices are reasonable. I can't recommend Downtown Pharmacy highly enough! A+++ read more

Downtown Pharmacy is a neighborhood treasure - I wish I had discovered it earlier. After many years (too many) of frequenting Duane Reade and CVS, I had grown used to surly pharmacists who were incommunicative at best, and rude at worst. ( I understand they are overworked and stressed, but it shows.). So I tried an independent - Downtown Pharmacy, down the street from my apartment. There was a shortage of my medication, and I was leaving town the next week, so I was anxious about getting it filled in time. Pharmacist James was incredibly helpful in explaining my options for alternate dosages and what to tell my doctor so I could get the medication on time. Today, I picked it up! This independent pharmacy deserves your business. read more

My partner needed a rx special ordered and they were on top of it and delivered for free. Super friendly and great customer service. Highly recommend! read more

The best pharmacy I have ever used (and I am also a prescriber). They are personable and professional, and go the extra mile for their patients. read more

Never have to wait for prescriptions like at the chain store pharmacies. Clean store. Well stocked. Friendly, professional service.

A classic, old-school pharmacy with top-notch customer service. Awesome place that provides care and attention you can't find at a corporate pharmacy. read more

The staff was so helpful. I was searching for a specific item in my size and wasn't having any luck at many pharmacies. Thank you for being knowledgeable and professional and for providing quality products to downtown Manhattan. read more

I live in the area and been going to them for 5 to 6 months for money orders (some businesses you don't feel comfortable giving checks to), once a month around the same time but Saturday the 18th around 11:40am, I went in and asked for a money order, I was told by a guy I've never seen before, "we don't give money orders on the weekend" (what business limits what they do on a weekend?) I thought that was odd. The following week on Friday I called and asked, do you do money orders, I was told "yes," I asked on weekends too? I was put on hold and was later told, "the money order machine isn't working. "The voice sounded like the same person I saw and spoke with that past weekend/Saturday. The entire ordeal seemed odd, I was told yes on the phone but when I asked about the weekends the money order machine isn't working. I'm not sure what the issue was, I'm just sharing my experience about a neiborhood business I will no longer go to. read more

Great pharmacy. Clean and friendly. They run a tight ship and are fully staffed unlike many chain pharmacies (CVS and Duane Reade) which I assume hire and fire part-timers all the time because no one can ever find anything. Shop Local! read more

I am not on drugs!* Anyway, Downtown Pharmacy is my pharmacy. 'Used to work two doors down from Downtown Pharmacy, so it started out as a venue of default/convenience, but I've come to find that they are fast and friendly. Also, they don't care of your prescription is expired** which is THE definition of convenience. Since life is unfair, I refuse to give it a 5-Star because the cashier refused*** to tell me that the beverage I was buying was pure crap.**** * "Lie" is such a strong word. ** Wtf are you on?!?! *** If he didn't know, he's just a poorly trained employee. **** Fuze - The worst "beverage" ever. I thought it was a Smoothie. No, it's some diet drink or some other chemically-inFUZEd piss. From Grossville. Made by a machine made by a human being born without taste buds. Nor conscience. read more

The. Bottom line is that if you need medical items this Is the go to place.tbey are knowledgeable and are very customer service orinted. Also they are located right across the the street from the hospital read more

EDIT: I have no idea how a positive review of this establishment got posted from my profile. I'm pretty sure I've never been here, and I don't know who may have obtained access to my Yelp account and -- weirdly -- seemingly done absolutely nothing but post a gushing review about this random pharmacy. I honestly don't know whether the pharmacy, Yelp, or some other third party accessed my account for the purposes of posting a fraudulent review, but please ignore it. read more

This is the best pharmacy in the area. Not only is it convenient with several deals on personal and house hold items------ the staff is amazingly NICE and accommodating! The pharmacist are super cool--- don't give you any sideways look when filling whatever script---- AND if they don't have a drug or particular brand generic, they'll order it for you and have it in next day. Oh and wait time?.... What wait time?! In and out in 7-10 minutes. You can't beat that! (They deliver too!!) 5 stars!! read more

This place was on channel 11 news for price gouging while we are in a crisis. They take advantage of the weak people. Do not shop here. Google this place and you will see a news segment on how they are raising prices for customers during corona virus. Do not shop here! read more

Can't say enough about this pharmacy! My Mom has been with them 6 plus years. Hands down the best staff ever. They have even caught some mistakes some Doctor's have made! Love Love Love them! Wish there were more stars to give them! read more

This might seem extreme but: Best pharmacy ever! Always super helpful and delivery service is amazing. Most pleasant pharmacy experience I've had anywhere. read more

3rd time is a charm. This helpful pharmacy staff came through when 2 other pharmacies couldn't fill my prescription. Made my day!

I've been a customer here for 5 to 6 years - as long as I've been living downtown. They are incredibly convenient, giving me the ability to send prescriptions through email (I snap a pic and leave the hardcopy with my doorman) and pick it up at home (LOVE the option of delivery). The pharmacist has also been very helpful while helping me transfer a prescription there to Medco, which I would have NEVER done if my plan didn't have a penalty for filling ongoing medication outside of mail order. I will be VERY sad when I move away from Fidi! read more

Wow I love this place - they have everything and they're super helpful and quick. Pricing is also really great. My doctor recommended this pharmacy for compression socks. They measured my calf and chose the ones that were best for me. read more

There are no words that can express what a wonderful experience it is to work with Downtown Pharmacy. Greg James is the most efficient, helpful and knowledgeable pharmacist I've ever dealt with. No matter where we are, Downtown Pharmacy makes sure we get our medication. Downtown also relieves a lot of anxiety by dealing with our insurance. Downtown Pharmacy is one in a billion. No more CVS and Duane Reade for us. It's always a hassle,with a million excuses as to why they don't have the medication. I was quoted $500 for a certain medication. With Greg's help and experience, the cost went down to $5.00. I now live upstate and still use Downtown. They ship to me. Such amazing customer service is rare!! read more

Simply the best customer service possible. It could turn a 2 hour experience at Duane Reade into a pleasant 10 minute visit. Greg you are awesome ! read more

Living in manhattan is very difficult, there are very few businesses that go out of their way to make your life easier, and this happens to be one that does. It is hard to find good service like that because there is such an expansive customer base in Manhattan, but Downtown Pharmacy has made me feel like I am their only customer, and have gone above and beyond to make sure to help in any way they can with pride and care. Even when they have completed their last delivery of the day, and I call in needing a medication well after that deadline, they came to the rescue and delivered it anyway. This is the personal touch that most businesses have lost sight of today. I have never wrote a post commenting on any business but felt compelled to because I appreciate it so much . read more

Prescriptions delivered! Service by email! Saturday service! You are welcome to ask for the friendly and helpful pharmacist who will provide information regarding non-prescriptives like vitamins as well as for interaction with 'scripts. There is no reason to go to Duane Reade when you are in these folks service area. read more

Loveee this pharamacy has everything and nice staff .plus the henry guy is cute lol :-) ;-)

Finally I found a real pharmacy. I have to admit I wasn't sure how it was gonna go bc I was a Walgreens guy for years. But after Greg helped my son get a authorization for a very expensive medication and he took the time to explain the process I was sold. I text pictures of my prescriptions to them. They are ready in minutes not hours. They are super efficient and Greg understands so much about the medications we use and never tries to sell something we don't need. How often does a pharmacist actually come around the counter to explain medications and he even gave us some free probiotics for our son. Great service. Reliable. The way businesses should run. I never write recommendations, but I hope they pay him well because he is worth the trip. Great place. Keep up the good work. read more

Wide product selection, and quickly did my DMV eye test for a very reasonable cost indeed.

Pharmacy wise, splendid! Customer service from front cashiers, much to be desired. I come to this establishment almost daily to pick up snacks, today I encountered what had to have been the rudiest, most unfriendly, cashier. My advice is if you don't know how to be professional and provide exceptional customer service. You don't need to work with people. My co workers and I will not be returning. I would rather spend an extra $1 on an item than deal with rude people who hate their job. read more

Terrible customer service. Cashier has the worst attitude. They have credit card signs on the door and machines and she yells "Cash!" I ask her about taking cards. She replies "Cash only." Feel bad for anyone who has to come here. read more

Great customer service -- personal, caring, up to and including the manager. I like to give my business to those who take pride in providing good service, and every person I have talked to at the Williams Street pharmacy really cares. read more

Needed a medical travel kit to keep medicine cold while traveling. Ordered one (and paid for it) on Thursday. It was promised by 4PM that same day. Told them I would come in Friday to pick it up (live in Brooklyn). Went in Friday - still not there. Was told it would be in Monday. Called Monday - still not there. Was told manager should not have promised it the same day. Now five days later, still waiting. They didn't care or even ask when I needed it. Was told "maybe delivery will come in Tuesday". Crappy customer service. read more

Finally I found a place that I can honestly say has the best service of any pharmacy I have visited. You can actually speak to a very skilled and knowledgeable set of pharmacists who can answer a wide variety of questions. They help lower all my copays with coupon cards (something the big chains never did for me). Now that they have expanded hours I can see why this place draws so many customers. The place gets packed, but they still take time to say hello and answer any questions about my medications that I have. Not to mention they deliver all over the place and even fedex my medications to me while I was on vacation and left my blood pressure pills at home. Top notch guys - keep up the good work. read more
