I called the pharmacy asking if I could arrive 3 min after the hours on a Monday to pick up a refill on a partial refill prescription (that I tried to pick up at alternate location the day prior as was closed for Sunday, but unable to as was locked to original location due to partial refill) I was held up after work and they said they'd make no effort to wait 3 extra minutes to help a customer with a critical prescription. said they close at 8 and that is that. zero humanity. would expect at the DMV. not from credentials pharmacists .... read more

Everything! I've gone to this pharmacy for years. They knowledgeable and compassionate. They do everything in their power to help you get the medications you require. The pharmacists are top notch professionals. read more

Stopped in here to the photo center - they can take passport photos, they have terminals to help make the photo books, etc. I ordered online, one photo print, and they had to start the print job when I arrived (since I paid in-store at the counter). Hopefully with bigger print jobs they have that started (I'd be ok paying ahead of time). They say it's about 30 min from the order placing to get to the store. Allow for extra time to be in line and wait for printing. read more

DO NOT GO TO THIS DUANE READE PHARMACY! The worst experience last night. I faithfully come here to receive my vaccinations usually given to me by the male doctor. Last night was the worst experience! I was greeted by a very rude female doctor. I express to her that I had an appointment, and wanted to know if I could still receive it. Very rudely and unprofessional she yells across to me, "WELL YOU SHOULD'VE CALLED AND LET SOMEBODY KNOW YOU WERE GOING TO BE LATE." I've never been so rudely spoken to by someone in my life. Walgreens Corporate you really need to evaluate who you have serving the public. So my advice to you is to go somewhere. read more

This is the weirdest Duane Reade: a decent enough size yet often out of stock of regular things like aluminum foil, gatorade, creamer, OTC meds. It's a super convenient location and I think they know it; management clearly doesn't care or is not well trained. The usual cashier is very nice but I've seen customers be rude to her over stuff that isn't her fault. The store is understaffed and under stocked. I bought the last tin foil roll the other day and it was disgustingly covered with sticky stuff on two sides (didn't notice til I got home and put my hand in the bag to put it away). Yet they carry a huge selection of cereals. They lock up a lot of stuff, like the regular size laundry detergent. I've never gotten someone to unlock anything in a timely manner. It sucks that they're the only option for several Newport buildings. read more

This is my closest pharmacy. I've filled prescriptions several times here; you either wait 30 minutes for them to fill it, or they need to order it and it arrives the next day. Their OTC medication is quite a bit more expensive than Target, but what's even more expensive is stocking up on stuff on sale that you don't need from Target and watching it expire. When I recently had a severe toothache, I bought all my pain relievers from here as I was in no condition to head over to Target. I paid about 30% more than I would have at Target, but that's the price of convenience. They have a grocery section at the back. It's generally overpriced, but when milk goes on sale I get it since it's closer to me than any grocery store and a gallon is pretty heavy to carry around. At the front they have a table with clearance items of all sorts (food, OTC, personal care, stationary, etc.) on it. 3.5 stars read more

This place inspires self-loathing, "If I planned things better I'd have the time to walk 10 minutes to Target" soon reminds me of various personal-finance woes and then veers into a broader "what have I done with my life?" A couple of times I've paid for $70 concert tickets or $35 steaks, and I'm told that expensive cars work better than Yugos, but at Duane Reade you do not get what you for. The $8 pack of disposable razor blades isn't anything fancy, it's the same stuff you can get cheaper at Target or even Shop-Rite. I've there are good deals for Duane Reade cardholders but that sort of thing just feels too organized and regimented. I haven't completely broken the Duane Reade habit. The second star is for the friendly workers and the near 24/7 hours, but the prices here are slowly encouraging me to make lifestyle changes...like waking up 20 minutes earlier so I have time to go to another store. read more

I was surprised by attitudes that those two foreign female pharmacists showed. When I was trying to return on medications I picked up a few hours ago due to mistake, they said it wasn't their fault in the beginning instead of stating on company policy, which I understand. But, then pharmacy manager came on and saying "this is ridiculous", she seemed to be quite emotional, rather than being rational and professional. Also, she did not clearly explained about instructions for new medications, which she admitted and apologized right away. I ended up calling insurance company and got refunded in 10 mins, but I am glad that I finally decided to go with shipping my medications, instead of picking up from the store. I am not a fan or reviewer person, but wanted to share my experience with others to let know of better alternatives. If you live near Newport area, I would highly recommend visiting CVS at Target, where I noticed they were much more professional (which everyone should have expected), clearer communications. read more

The pharmacists and assistants are so friendly and knowledgeable at this location- I always feel well taken care of here and they know you by name after a few visits. It feels like a great neighborhood pharmacy. I wouldn't go elsewhere to have my prescriptions filled. Plus the store has pretty much everything else you might need to stay healthy! read more

I haven't used Duane Reade as a pharmacy, but as a convenience store and photo shop I have mixed reviews. I love the convenience of having it nearby when I need to grab a few things. They have a nice selection of food items, juice, soda, etc., and often have very good deals on things like Coke Zero (which I'll admit I drink a lot of). At the photoshop I have not had great experiences. The employees are clearly not well trained on printing, preparing, or FINDING, pictures. They also have very poor customer relations skills. I have worked retail jobs, bartending, and waiting tables, and I know how hard I worked and how much attention I always paid to customer service. So I expect the same from staff in stores that I frequent. I have had difficulty getting help from employees here who either ignore you or act like you are bothering them when you need them to do something. What happened to the days of smiling and trying to make the customer happy? read more

This is the only I am aware of in the newport vicinity. They do carry all the necessary supplies but my concern with this place with the pharmacy section. There are a long wait to collect the prescriptions here. read more

Being a new to Newport or the NYC area can be hard. Well the transition at this place was easy. Granted moving pharmacies isn't that hard with big chains. But I moved from several states away from my independent pharmacy. Moving it self is hard. They aided me in the process and even when my out-of-state doctor decided to take a vacation in the middle of the transition the pharmacy helped me get my needs taken care of. The friendly staff and pharmacist get my vote and loyalty. The store itself is nice/new/stocked and complete with all the little pick-up items you need for day-to-day needs. So Duane Reade I will be back. read more

If I could give this pharmacy .0001 star - I would. I've been a diabetic for 14 years. My insurance and prescription have been consistent. This pharmacist tried to change how much insulin I would need for a 30 day supply to get an extra $40 from me. When I contacted my insurance company and went back. She tried to say that I would have to call my doctor and kept trying to upcharge me so some reason. Went to CVS and got my insulin without a single problem. Worst. Pharmacy. Ever. Would ride my bike to Philadelphia if I had to - before stepping a foot in this place again. read more

This is our (Newport's) corner store. Definitely not good enough to do grocery shopping but good enough for those late night snack cravings. They do have great sales with a store card. Other than that prices are a bit Pricey read more

I hesitated to post this, but decided I had an obligation to do so. A few months back, I had a very negative experience involving an opioid Rx with Duane Reade at 52 River Side S in Newport Plaza, NJ. After surgery, I was prescribed a full-week Rx for an opioid. I was understandably scared about using this drug for a week, so I cancelled the Rx, which clearly annoyed the pharmacist. However, by the next day the pain was intense, so I called the pharmacist and asked her to fill only half of the Rx, but she filled and billed me for the entire full-week supply. I am sorry to have been an annoyance for her, but Duane Reade should understand the significance of taking opioid drugs and should be more understanding of patients' fears on this issue. read more

The pharmacy department is rude and argumentative all the time.

You get to pay nyc prices right here in downtown jc. Its duane reade. It reeks of convience. All the little items that you need to pick up for dinner or that you forgot at shoprite or pathmark you can get here. That being said the prices are much higher than shoprite or pathmark so necessity only. read more

Goto place everyone living in the Newport area... They often run out of milk and bread... So it's good to keep a check on when they fill their inventory .... For all other food items.... Morton Williams is close by read more

Definitely need to pick up the pace there is always a lot of people on line and usually 1 cashier

It's nearby where I live. Most of the employees are helpful and polite. The managers can be ambivalent to assisting the cashiers when there are lines. Most of the items are overpriced (e.g., soda, food items, cards, makeup, shower goods, and OTC medications). It's overpriced even when you consider the convenience of the location. Check your expiration dates here. I've bought expired soda here - who knew that soda expired?! read more

The pharmacy department just always throws me off. I have been there 3 times & each time has been the same experience ... infact just when i think this is the rock bottom the store can hit, they manage to fall even further. I am sorry, but you have lost a customer for life... ! read more

I come in often I love the workers Jennifer, Infinity and Thalia. I also love The Mangers Felix and Quanasha I think their names are

This is my closest pharmacy. I've filled prescriptions several times here. Nashwah Omar is very helpful and informative.She has helped me on several occasions past few years and even went out of her way to get me my medication and explain everything I needed to know. She is very caring and always shows concern towards their customers. The entire staff is so personable and genuinely invested in you and what's important to you. read more

In the year 2018 I can't believe you can walk in a store and be immediately profiled and treated like a criminal by your appearance!! I am extremely disappointed in the behavior of the staff in this location. I live in the Newport area and work in Midtown Manhattan I take the Path daily to and from work today Feb 17 2018 I was coming from work and decided to stop at this Duane Reade. My husband and his cousin who are Puerto Rican came in after me. My husband was dressed in a fitted hat and a hoodie he did not need to purchase anything he was just waiting for me and his cousin. His cousin purchased cigarettes. I purchased my water and chips and I hear an associate tell my cashier "Those Guys we're trying to rob the store" my cashier then asked what guys and she pointed at my husband and his cousin. It is extremely disappointing and sad that in today's society you are automatically labeled a criminal by the way you look. I will never shop at this Duane Reade and I would encourage anyone that has been discriminated by the way you look to make sure you do not allow these companies and employees to treat you like a criminal based on your appearance. I often visit Duane Reade in Midtown Manhattan and I have never experienced something like this. When we confronted the staff they made it seem like we did something wrong. No apologies, they refused to give any business cards so we could not file a formal complaint and all the associates acted as if they had no clue why my husband and I were so offended. The worst part of the experiences that all of the associates in that Duane Reade could have easily discriminated by their ethnicity and look yet non of them could apologize and say they were wrong. This is client experience at its worst! read more

I was told to buy a money order at this store to pay for deposits. It was the first day I arrived in the States and everything seemed a bit overwhelming. I'm not a native speaker so unfortunately I only remembered this was called "money sth". There was a young female employee with head wrap, laughing at me and making fun of me to other staff when I couldn't make myself understood. This was the worst experience for a young foreigner who just landed in this country. Will always remember how it felt when being mocked by that employee. Please show some respect to your customers and be helpful when they have some difficulties. Thanks. read more
