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.

The pharmacist, Dr. Demi McGill, goes out of her way to make sure you understand what you are taking. You never feel rushed. Once, when I was prescribed a drug to treat 2 different conditions, she worked with my doctor to make sure that the prescription included the condition that would be covered by my insurance. The technicians are welcoming and work efficiently to get you your prescription when you receive a text saying that it is ready. If you don't pick up your medicine, they actually call to check back. Once they were out of a prescription by one manufacturer but found one from a different manufacturer and were able to combine the two so that I could have a full 90 days On occasion there has been something of a line, but everyone is patient and respectful and it tends to move fairly quickly. I can also recommend them for routine vaccines. I've waited to write this review until I'd been with the pharmacy for over a year to make sure my great experience wasn't just a fluke, but they've been consistently meeting or exceeding every expectation.
