Having had it up to *here* with Walgreens for a variety of reasons, I finally did some looking…read morearound and found Five Star Pharmacy. Though I'm in Park Ridge, they're near enough that I decided I wanted to give them a try and I like that they're an independent pharmacy. When I gave them a call, I think it was the owner herself that answered (though don't quote me on that). She said that they could do all the transfer stuff to get my prescriptions from Walgreens, and she confirmed that they took my insurance before going too far into the transfer info so that we'd be on the same page. She said that they'd be able to fill my prescription within a few hours once my insurance confirmed it was time to refill, and that was great since there are times I've had to wait a day or more to get it from Walgreens even though I think it's a fairly standard prescription. Then the thing that really surprised me is when she asked if I wanted it to be delivered--and then when I asked the price she said it was free. Another thing Walgreens has done away with in the last year or two is free delivery, so another point in the Five Star Pharmacy. They sent me a link to make the payment, so it was super easy. It was somewhat more expensive than what I paid at Walgreens, but I also don't know if the price of the medicine had increased a bit in the last few months. At any rate it wasn't so much higher that I wouldn't pay it for the quality of service an dot support an independent, local business (and pharmacies are particularly hard to find in the independent variety anymore). Once I made the payment, my prescription came within the next day (it may actually have been a few hours but I just can't recall when I made the payment). I was very pleased with the help, quick response/delivery and follow through. They are testing out a new type of prescription bottle in an effort toward sustainability and that is fantastic. Minor annoyance that the inside has some of the plastic folded in and because of that it makes it nearly impossible for me to just tip out a pill onto my hand since it gets stuck, but obviously not something I'd stop using them over even if they decided to switch to these permanently instead of the standard prescription bottle. I highly recommend them and really suggest that it's worth your while if you want to support a small, independent, women-owned business.

If you feel the compounding isn't accurate trust yourself!…read more Our Vet recommended SRx for compounding our dogs medication since he refuses to take capsules. First of all, the meds are extremely expensive to have compounded. That's fine, as long as they are doing what they are saying. 3/4 of the time when we showed up to pick up the meds they were either not ready to be picked up or were incorrectly done. There were instances where we came in one day and meds were not done (we were told they would be ready). Then we were told they would have them done the next day. Nope, not the next day either. Then, the third day the meds were piled into the squares like an ice cream scooper was used in the tray. 3 trips to their location and it still wasn't ready. When we complained I swear they just ran something over the top to level them off and called it accurate. I also swear that the meds were never mixed properly as some days my dog didn't act like he had meds and some days he acted like he had 2x the dosage. Whomever they have doing the compounding wasn't properly trained. I hope they can correct this issue, but they have lost us as customers. Proper dosage is a basic necessity when compounding medications.

No luck with that, we decided to call many different medical supply companies and Howard was the only responsive company that seemed genuinely interested to help us. We explained what we were doing and Camela was very thrilled when he heard about our charity and event. She was very nice and even suggested a scooter will be better if I want to move more freely on the pilgrimage. She was able to accommodate us in a very special way. I would recommend them to anyone looking for great service from people who care.

But, by god, nothing's going to stop her. "I am getting on Amtrak and coming to Chicago!" she tells you. My mother is nothing if not ballsy - or should I say "ovariesy?" I fret, "what are we going to DO with her? She can't keep up with us." This is where Howard Medical Company comes in. This place is the bomb! $15 per day gets you a 18" transport wheelchair (250 lb. weight capacity) - SO easy to fold up, has handles to carry it - fits into your Honda Civic tiny ass trunk. I talked to a woman named Bernie by phone - nice as hell - who says "we have plenty - no need to worry." They open at 8 am - I am there at 8:05 am - assisted by yet another wonderfully nice employee named Jim. He shows me how to fold it, adjust it, etc. This is too easy -pinch me, I am dreaming. I race home to our apt, Metropolis coffee in hand, and say, "Duretta Jean, get in the car - we are Chubby Girl walking at the lake!"

On Monday at 9:05 am, I was trying to pick my medication that was prescribed two nights before. A young lady verified my date of birth,name,address the she said "you medication is not the system yet ",then I was looking at her lying face the n I said" here is my hospital paperwork and the confirmed that this is an urgent medication ,it is already sent and sat in the pharmacy portal. After that she said here "here it is, but you can come back at 10am simply because the pharmacist will be here at 10 am" I said, the pharmacy schedule is 9am not, why you can't you open at 10 am then? You can your pharmacist to do it on the phone or WhatsApp because I already exist in your system." Then the young were on the phone with someone: pharmacist or someone else then responded "pharmacist can do it unless he is on the premises or we can deliver it you "my response was ok then I asked here "what is the window of the delivery" she answered "after 5pm" I was thinking may be noon. The story is not about lying, it is about convenience, the pharmacist makes things very convenient for him or her, but never cares about someone who is flying next couple hours, like my case my daughter wants to car to drive five miles to feed her advisor's cat because she is on spring break and after, my daughter will drive 20 miles to Addison, Illinois for practice. This is the second time, it happened to me, the first I was waiting for hour and half till ten thirty ,no apology no nothing. I had to wait because, that my wife's medication, I did not want come empty handed. I will never give them my money again. This Maxcare is a trash.

I suppose younger people will not remember when it was standard practice for people to be treated with care and decency in their day-to-day human interactions. This is like going to the pharmacy when I was growing up, and the pharmacist was someone who knew you. I place a value on that.
