So I needed my inhaler (I have asthma) and I called my Dr who is on the South Side of Chicago, he said if I was near a Walgreens or CVS and I told him that I was near J Discount. He called them, faxed my prescription and there. I thought it was so cool that it was able to be done so quickly. Now, since I have excellent insurance, I only paid my deductible and received my inhaler. That simple. read more

If I could give them a sixth star I totally would. When I lost my prescription coverage last year my doctor referred me to this pharmacy. I couldn't believe the price difference. I spend about 1/3 of what I did at Walgreen's. This is THE best business that I have ever been to. I've been going there for my prescriptions for almost a year now, and each time I go, no matter who my clerk is, I always receive the same amazing and friendly service. I work in the burbs, so to make it in on a weekday, it can be a bit difficult to make it there before they close. Once when I was stuck in traffic, and had about 5 minutes before they closed, I called and asked if they could possibly stay a few minutes after closing time so I could make it. I was relieved to learn that they wouldn't mind. When I got there, they were just locking up, so the clerk actually came outside to get my check card so she could swipe it inside. I was so impressed! Just today I got some refills and they threw in a box of Girl Scout cookies, "just cuz!" How awesome is that? Who does that anymore? Suhweet! I recently learned that they have a free delivery service. Very nice. read more

I received my breast pump through this pharmacy. My Dr. faxed the info to them when I was 20 wks pregnant to be proactive in case it took a while to put in the order. The pharmacy called a day later to let me know I should call them when I delivered the baby and they would deliver my pump to my home. 19 weeks 4 days later, I delivered my son, called the pharmacy, they delivered my breast pump to my door before I returned home from the hospital. Good, fast service! Nice staff. read more

The people here don't speak English well, but I don't care. My scripts are cheap. The place is clean, and I always get a nice smile. Good enough for me. I will be back for all of my script needs, and I would tell any body who lives close to do the same. read more

I love supporting businesses local to the Humbolt Park/Ukrainian Village area, so this well-organized pharmacy is a great asset to me! The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and prescriptions are filled promptly. I highly recommend it. read more

I can't say enough good things about this pharmacy. Very accommodating and understanding of their customers. I had one of minor issue with filling a script, but they were quick to resolve it. They even filled a script for iron, free of charge, because I could have gotten it cheaper buying it over the counter. They told me at check out that they didn't charge me for it. I have never heard of a pharmacy doing something like that. They are not open on sundays, but it is worth the wait for reliable thoughtful service. read more

I've been coming to Jdiscount for several years now and don't see any reason to ever use another pharmacy again. The service is always fast and friendly and when I was too sick to get out of bed they delivered my medicine to my house free of charge that same day! read more

I really want to like this pharmacy, after all they deliver and compound themselves, both of which are rare. However, I had two major problems. First, know I'm a new mom and had the birth control pill prescribed. For the first 4 months there were no problems. Then every time I refilled there seemed to be something. 1) I moved, gave them my new address. They kept sending it to my old address. They did their best to make it right once they realized the error, but in the process were pretty rude on the phone. 2) I called to refill the prescription, they said no problem. When I didn't receive it after a full week, I called back. I was told I needed to contact my doctor for a refill. They never called to inform me of this. The prescription needs to be taken daily and I can't get refills until two weeks before it is up, I was on my last pill when it came. Any parent can guess my panic at having to miss a pill and 'take a chance'. The same issue happened again the next month. When I called my doctor they had no idea why they would need a reorder as it was a 6 month prescription, they offered to talk to them. When I told the pharmacist I was told they tried faxing, got no response and I would have to 'do something it whatever'. I'm not really sure what that 'something' was that I should do, so I'm taking my business to a pharmacy that can actually fill my prescriptions without this headache. I'm shocked at how I was treated and hope I'm the exception, not the rule. read more

These folks are in it for the medicine, not the money; to serve the ends of health, not greed. People receiving Medicare Part D and Medicaid like me, normally have a co-pay of two to three dollars per prescription. At least that's what it was before I switched from Walgreen's two years ago. And some prescriptions Walgreen's charges for - and CVS- J Discount provides gratis. I can only assume J Discount eats the cost. I don't get a mountain of medicine, but I get a significant amount. I haven't paid a nickel for it since I switched; kind of like "privatized" Single Payer for all. It's reassuring to know that J Discount is presumably a local, certainly a non-conglomerate, so it's not part of the medical care for profit industry that sucks the money, resources and policy decisions right out of the local community. read more
