The absolute best service! And competitive prices! And they stock some hard to find items. And…read morethe gift shop is wonderful!

Myself and my extended family have used Service Drugs since moving to Ridgeland in the late 1980's…read more Accuracy always compounded with pleasant service and helpfulness were our satisfiers. (One does not always get accuracy in other pharmacies. Know this from my work life.) This last week proved to me that Service Drugs is beyond exceptional. Having Glaucoma, I am extremely concerned about being compliant with the Rx eyedrops. The prescription was renewed on Monday. Thursday morning I could not find the new eyedrops. Knew they were in the house so began a search. Still not found by Friday...here I come Service Drugs knowing I'd have to pay full price for another. The service staff took my issue to the pharmacist. They tried an assortment of endeavors to obtain the health insurance price. Came back to share that nothing had worked and I'd have to pay full price. "Yes, do it" was my response knowing it would be most expensive. Hearing my response the big gun pharmacist, Hunter appeared. He shared that it would be $400 and it is in stock, BUT offered a suggestion for how I could use an app and possibly obtain it for less at a chain pharmacy. While lifting myself up from the floor, I left and followed the suggested solution. This was the beginning of my understanding of what exceptional customer service truly means. The customer service experience at the other pharmacy was horrific. After waiting for the attention of the clerk, shared my situation, gave all details and was told to expect a long wait. After providing my cell phone number, explained I'd be in their store getting a soda, then I'd be right back to sit in one of the pharmacy wait chairs. While patience is a virtue, mine was running out after 2 hours. Got into the 7 person wait line. Upon reaching the counter, was told that my insurance wouldn't cover by the new clerk. "Yes, I explained that to the former person as well as how it was to paid." Then, after checking, I was told it was not in stock and maybe another of their local pharmacies would have it. I did ask why I wasn't informed earlier especially since I provided my cell number before leaving the counter initially. The saving grace was after this person saw my face pale, she offered to call either of the two other area pharmacies. (I know this was an extended service as while sitting for two hours, no one else was given such a gracious offer! (I'll still not enter this store ever again.) The other pharmacy did have it at a cost of $168, they were very nice and service was fine. Yes, I did find the lost bottle the next day. After experiencing the pitiful customer service of another local pharmacy, I now fully understand that Tommy Shields of Service Drugs has grown a culture of creating an exceptional customer experience, exceptional accuracy and created an environment to allow the employees to go over and above. What a leader! What wonderful employees work there. Hunter, you are a blessing. MY THANKS AND APPRECIATION TO ALL AT SERVICES DRUGS, RIDGELAND.
