If I'm recalling correctly... healthwise used to open before 9:00 a.m. in the morning and really…read moreservice the community. It was definitely the community's pharmacy. This new group that purchased the drugstore doesn't feel warm and cozy like it used to. And from what I understand.. my doctor's office had called in a prescription on April 30th. Took me quite a while to go and get it but they didn't even show any information on it. So I of course called my doctor's office and she read it right out to me that they definitely received the prescription and they have that proof on file at the doctor's office. It's a shame because it was such a Hands-On Community Pharmacy Once Upon a Time. Sadly the one thing we can count on in life is change! Well it's after 9:00 a.m. and they're supposed to be open but the pharmacist isn't here yet. The fellow that just unlocked the doors said the pharmacist isn't in yet ... due to traffic. WE'LL.... LEAVE EARLIER! THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THIS HAPPENED WITHIN A MONTHS TIME. IT'S RIDICULOUS. IT'S UNPROFESSIONAL. 3 STRIKES .... YOU'RE OUT. BE RESPONSIBLE TO YOUR JOB. And once he arrived & finally addressed me.. he had a miserable attitude. So, seems like being tardy is his standard. He's keeping the customers waiting and yet he has a nasty attitude. Seemingly quite entitled. That's not what a community wants for what was once a real mom and pop warm and fuzzy Pharmacy ... AND THEY WERE SO PROFESSIONAL ... AT THE SAME TIME. . When I ran offices and someone was late... NO LESS SO VERY OFTEN ... the owner DEFINITELY did not appreciate it ... and over time they will let go. It shows a lack of care and concern for your job. This pharmacist just shows up LATE. I'm standing outside at 9:00 (when the pharmacy is supposed to be open) ... 3 times within a month is unacceptable ... 3 TIMES IN A MONTH'S TIME?!?! SAYS VOLUMES TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. We were used to a very different type of service at this Pharmacy. I've been in the neighborhood for over 50 years now. TIMELINESS! Actual professionalism And real customer service All very critical in a business ... especially when you're dealing with the public. These are key factors for REAL SUCCESS. These critical points don't seem to be a part of this establishment any longer. Looks like I may have to switch drugstores. I hope the owner is well aware of what's lacking here

They refuse to pay their delivery people a meager wage and as a result YOU will hear all sorts of excuses as to WHY they can't delivery. Saturday, RX was needed urgently. NOPE, no delivery on Saturday. They could walk it over themselves if they cared as I live 2 blocks away, but hey, no interest. If I could go and get it myself, I WOULD HAVE. Now Monday, after multiple calls and no guarantee, finally got RX at 53i0PM. They value saving a few dollars over your well being and that's evident. Never trust them again. They have become so unreliable and uncaring.

I usually use CVS but ever since they told me my new medication is $75 I decided to go elsewhere. I had read about this pharmacy in the community paper and decided to give it a shot. This is a "no frills" pharmacy. They do not have anything exciting just medicine, othotics, and vitamins. When I asked to Pharmacist the prices of my medications (like I am a old person or something lol) he kindly checked everything over. That medicine that was $75 at CVS? Oh well he charged me $18!!!! I almost kissed the man! They are very kind and very patient people. I am so happy I am changing everything over to that pharmacy! From what I heard they also give Flu Shots for $20!

DAVID (carefully reading the list): We can have all of these ready for you. Don't worry. I returned to the pharmacy later in the afternoon, and walked up to the counter. ME: Am I too....early ? IGOR (handing me two small plastic bags): Here you go ! ME: Fabulous. Thank you so much! You'll charge my card; right ? So in case you didn't know; I'm a Big Fan of Vitahealth.
