There's no way to fully describe the service, professionalism, and expertise provided by this pharmacy. I did not know about this pharmacy until recently and we are so impressed. They go over and above in providing personalized service. And Rasheed, being the experienced pharmacist that he is, knows his customers and their needs. I absolutely cannot imagine going anywhere else! Plenty of parking in the back, both front and back entrances. read more

I cannot say enough amazing things about this place and recommend them wholeheartedly! The staff there know you by name and you can call them and have a real person answer the phone. You don't run across this sort of service anymore and can promise you will not be disappointed with being their customer!! read more

If you want someone who cares this is the place. Rashid is helpful, knowledgeable and always seems to get what you need. Going to Paktia is a little out of the way for me but thats how much his service is worth it! read more

Rashid and his staff are fantastic! They are so accommodating and very sweet and caring. Thank you all! You always take care of me and go above and beyond. read more

Who doesn't like supporting a family-owner business? This one is great overall -- does the job with great customer service and easy parking in the back. The only drawback is limited hours but I do my best to make it work because small businesses matter! Bottom line: Use them! read more

The level of professionalism and care taken at this pharmacy is a rare treat, in this era within the medical field. So thankful for Paktia.

This is a terrific local pharmacy. We are lucky to have an "Old fashioned" neighborhood pharmacy with amazing and personal service. We were trying to schedule our COVID vaccines and I was becoming increasingly frustrated. Rashid said "Come in and I will look at your phone." Problem solved and we were scheduled for tomorrow morning. We were called at 4:40 today and there were two available doses!! How lucky to be on a first name basis with your pharmacist. He will match GOODRX prices. I feel seen at this business. I feel cared for. Everyone should try to see the difference this small local pharmacy makes. read more

I recently moved to Idaho. I miss Rashid and his personal service. While living in WA he always had my prescription ready and waiting for me to pick up. One time he only had enough pills to partially fill my prescription.... but he delivered the balance to my home with in a couple days. Now I have a national pharmacy near me and thought I would give it a try.... they received my prescription on a Thursday, I checked on Friday to pick it up. They said it was on order and would have it ready on Saturday . Saturday afternoon I went to pick it up and they said it would be in on Monday at 11:30. Monday I called at 4:30 pm and they said they just got their shipment in and would have it ready in an hour. 2 hours later I go to pick it up and I was told it did not come in They asked if i would like them to call me when they locate my prescription. THIS IS WHY I MISS PAKTIA!! Truly a wonderful gem of a pharmacist. read more

Rasheed is an excellent pharmacist who goes out of his way to provide excellent service to his patrons. He is always willing to answer questions and has vaccinations available for administration. All of his staff are kind, courteous and helpful with a smile. It is great to have this family run pharmacy to serve our neighborhood. read more

Rashid is the BEST! He is so friendly and kind, and no health issue is too small or too gross for him. He is always willing to help you find what you need, accommodate your time constraints, super attentive and friendly. He also LOVES to chit chat, so if you have time he is very knowledgeable about anything you want might to know (recommendations for food, stores, shopping, etc. in the Edmonds area). Every time I went into his store there was someone shootin' the poop with him... that goes to show what kind of establishment he runs! Much better than your chain drugstore! I would recommend getting all your prescriptions and other items here (he offers a wide variety of things... much more than what I would anticipate of such a small store). Thanks for making my health needs (more so my my roomies health needs) a priority Rashid! You are an AWESOME pharmacist! read more

Paktia Healthmart Pharmacy - Drugstores Near Me - Edmonds, Washington

See all

Extremely friendly, convenient, well-priced and with a good selection of generics. Really glad to have these guys in town!

After dealing with issues at both our local Bartell's and Walgreen, we started a relationship with Paktia Pharmacy in hopes for a more specialized and intimate relationship for my child's Type 1 Diabetes medication and supplies. After several months, we were told that the medication and supplies were too expensive for the pharmacy to order/fill and they asked us to no longer come back. it was a shocking and discriminatory experience for my family, not to mention the disbelief they would not work with us to provide prescriptions vital to our child's survival. Shame on them! I am so thankful that we live in a location with alternate options and thankfully Bartell's has increased their response, customer service and we are very happy with their service. read more

I recently switched my prescriptions from a local branch of a big chain pharmacy to PAKTIA. I am delighted with my choice. At this truly friendly neighbourhood pharmacy I receive much more efficient service than I was experiencing elsewhere. Plus, I have the satisfaction of knowing I am supporting a local business. It's a win-win! read more

The friendly staff let me in minutes before closing and gave my Covid booster. So kind and accommodating!

I have been seeing Rashid for all my prescriptions for over 2 years now. You couldn't ask for more personal attention. They are prompt and when I haven't felt well they are happy to deliver. Night and day difference from using chain pharmacy to a owner of his business read more

Paktia pharmacy is a wonderful local pharmacy. My family always receives personal attention and exceptional service. Yukara Monroe read more

Support your local pharmacy! I am all about choosing to try out non-corporation establishments, so I decided to take my doctors' advice and stop going to Walgreens. This pharmacy is located in downtown Edmonds. The owner and pharmacist was very accommodating and found and ordered a medication and now keeps it in stock for me. The service is great and again, very accommodating and great service!! read more

I was staying in Edmonds and frequented the pharmacy over the last 6 weeks. Rasheed was the kindest, most attentive pharmacist I've ever had. You will not regret coming here, it's small town feel & will feel very @ home. Thank you so much for your outstanding customer service. read more

There are too few REAL local businesses, and sadly, they're often having a tough time surrounded by a jungle of giant corporate competition. Paktia Pharmacy is a local business, owned and operated by Rashid Paktia. Rashid is frankly, one of the most professional, kind and courteous medical professionals I've had the opportunity to work with. I started working with him when he was at Rite-Aid here in Lynnwood. When the "Rx Tech's" would make mistakes on my prescriptions, he always stepped up and made it right - ALWAYS. Soon after that, I gave up on even asking anyone else for assistance. In a store full of Rx staff, he was the only one I felt I could trust 100% to consistently get things right. I was devastated when he mentioned he was leaving Rite-Aid a while back. All I kept thinking was, who can I count on to get things right? He was always my "go-to Pharmacist". Then he gave me a call, to let me know he was leaving to open his own shop. What a relief! So now, I have a local pharmacy - REALLY - local. I spend my money here in Snohomish county, and I feel comfortable it doesn't all go flying out of state to a home office in Rhode Island (not that I have anything against RI... I'm sure you know what I mean). When we fill family prescriptions, they're always correct, they're always prompt, and if they can make any accommodation to help make things simpler for me, they go far beyond what any big corporate owned store would be willing to do. So, do yourself a favor and support local business, help the money you spend in Washington stay in Washington. The bonus will not just be a good feeling. You'll be surprised by the improvement in professional client service that you'll also receive. read more

I recently moved to Lynnwood so Paktia isn't as convenient for me location-wise as it used to be. However, I will go out of my way to continue using Paktia! My boyfriend doesn't quite understand my unwavering loyalty to a pharmacy, but that's okay. Rashid is always so nice and knows me by name. He asks how my family is and really cares about his customers on a personal level. I'll never go back to corporate pharmacies again! read more

This is the perfect pharmacy in town... Personal service is great. Rashid cares about helping his client's. I'd honestly have to say that he gives way better service than those othe big corporate owned stores in town. Rashid really helps and listens. Honest and prompt. read more

I love Paktia Pharmacy and wish that I lived close enough to make this my home pharmacy!

Edmonds is so lucky to have such a fantastic pharmacy! Mr. Paktia is kind, knowledgeable and very helpful. The fact that he can usually match and sometimes beat Costco prices is cherry on the sundae. Marci R. read more

Stop in at Paktia one time and you will see a huge difference in how you are treated compared to corporate owned pharmacies. Rashid is very helpful, takes time to answer your questions and is very knowledgeable. I was worried about my insurance company but Rashid worked with them to make it all work for me. I am in favor of supporting small companies owned by individuals. I am relieved that I don't have to go stand in line at a big pharmacy that has 6-7 people working there who are rude and don't have time to talk to you about your medication. Rashid takes all the time you need. I hope that Rashid stays in Edmonds for a very long time because I don't want to go anywhere else. read more

My husband received a deep cut on his thumb and we went to Paktia Healthmart Pharmacy to get antibiotic ointment and a bandage. When we walked in, Rashid saw the bleeding and immediately took my husband to the back and cleaned the wound, applied antibiotic cream, and bandaged the thumb. His kindness and professionalism were so appreciated. I honestly can think of no other pharmacy that would provide such personal care. read more

I will never go to another pharmacy! When was the last time you had a prescription filled in five minutes? At a price less than the Big Box stores? And you have the benefit of knowing you're helping your local economy, not some chain conglomerate. Need I say more? Thank you Rashid for restoring my faith in the idea of neighborhood business. (Don't forget there is free parking in back.) read more

I went to Rasheed for years, when he was at a large, chain store pharmacy. Even in that environment, he provided an extra personal touch to pharmacy service. When he started his own place, I was glad to follow him there. Rasheed takes his customers personally. He knows your name, and what your issues are. He loves to find special deals to get you a good product for less money, even if you don't ask him to do so. He is always warm and friendly and helpful. read more
