Like another review said, the staff are extremely unprofessional and make handling any issues you have into a "non-issue" unless you keep pushing it. In the past 2 years I've had up to 7 pills missing from my 30 day refills, and they miscount pills frequently. It's a train wreck to try to get more pills after they miscounted the month prior, the last time they missed 5 I was accused of "abusing" a non-controlled substance. Who is getting addicted to lamotrigine? I recently moved away to another city for college and requested they transfer my prescription. I can't put into words how insufferable this place was about it. My father and I called over 5 times together, and my new pharmacy did as well. Today, they left a voicemail saying they'e not going to send it and to make sure I "really needed it." Who would be THIS annoying about getting their pills unless they really needed it? They also said they already "made" my prescription and despite us saying I moved over 300 miles away, I should get somebody to pick it up regardless. This is extremely unprofessional and I don't know in what world the staff here think this is appropriate. The ONE saving grace about this place though is if you go between 2-4 pm on a weekday there's usually no line. In theory if they count your pills right consistently and you go in during that window, your pharmacy visits should be 5 minutes tops. That never happened for me or any of my family members though.

He yelled that he got a letter that told him to do that, and when I tried to tell him it didn't make sense for original Medicare, he was rude and yelled that he didn't have time for this.

This used to be sweet bistro where many days and nights were shared with friends. This particular storefront is even more rare because it's not a chain and is open late, for the way working folk have needed to live here for a long time. It's not Whole Foods or Vitamin Shoppe (or whatever that chain's named), but a humble spot where the selection of vitamins, herbs, topicals and a few pantry staples probably contains exactly what you're looking for. Ask any of my neighbors what they think about your cough, sniffle or dry skin, and they'll tell you, "Go see the vitamin guy on 23rd." And you should. Because for years, he's dispensed sound counsel to a number of us whose needs aren't easily addressed by either of those aforementioned chains or that chain pharmacy who makes you summon a worker to unlock some dental floss. I'd been recovering from RSV when my husband stopped by the Vitamin Guy and told him about my lingering cough and shallow breathing. He brought home some Olbas syrup and a tincture containing a melange of herbs, half of which I was familiar as a TCM patient for a number of years. Within week one I was feeling great relief. A neighbor who'd been hit with the same condition went and had his own chat and relief success story a week after me, and unprompted, said, "Vitamin Guy saved me again!" This is but one of many ways Vitamin Guy's helped me, my husband and many neighbors over 18 years. Go see him the next time you're wondering what you can do about whatever's ailing you; he probably has some sound advice to share, and you'd be keeping the lights on amid the many otherwise darkened storefronts that don't exactly inspire confidence around greater Chelsea.
