If I could give 10 stars, I would. Actually, I'd give 100. Maybe a whole galaxy…read more I don't even know where to begin because describing Dr. Amy Melika-Shaker in a simple "review" feels criminally inadequate. This woman isn't just a pharmacist -- she is a life-changing, stress-relieving, anxiety-reducing, hope-restoring miracle worker disguised in a white coat. I am fully convinced that if kindness were a currency, she'd be a billionaire by now. From the moment you walk into West Atlantic Pharmacy in Delray Beach, FL, you immediately understand that this isn't your average pharmacy. It's warm, it's welcoming, and it radiates the kind of positivity most pharmacies can only dream about. And at the heart of it all is Dr. Amy -- the sweetest, most knowledgeable pharmacist I have ever known in my entire life. Dr. Amy doesn't just dispense medications. She dispenses compassion, understanding, patience, and the kind of genuine care you can't put a price on. She listens -- truly listens -- in a world where most medical professionals are practically sprinting to the next person. She takes her time, she explains everything, she reassures you, and she does it all with a warmth that instantly makes you feel like you're talking to a trusted friend rather than a healthcare provider. She goes above and beyond in ways most people only talk about. Whether it's tracking down hard-to-find medications, answering every single question without making you feel rushed, or simply offering a smile on a day you need it more than you realize -- she is consistently extraordinary. West Atlantic Pharmacy is lucky to have her, Delray Beach is blessed to have her, and honestly the entire state of Florida should be grateful she chose this profession. The pharmacy itself is wonderfully run, extremely organized, and surprisingly personable. The staff is polite, efficient, and caring. But Dr. Amy is the star that makes the entire experience shine. She sets the standard. She raises the bar. She is the reason this pharmacy doesn't just deserve five stars -- it deserves its own award ceremony. If every pharmacy had a Dr. Amy, this world would be a dramatically better place. She is one of those rare, beautiful souls who restores your faith in humanity simply by doing her job with love. To sum it up: West Atlantic Pharmacy = Amazing. Dr. Amy Melika-Shaker = Phenomenal, unmatched, irreplaceable, and truly one-of-a-kind. If you are anywhere near Delray Beach and need a pharmacy, do yourself a favor: go see Dr. Amy. You will understand exactly why I'm writing a review longer than some novels. A million out of five stars. If there were a Hall of Fame for Pharmacy Legends, Hank wouldn't just be inducted. He'd have his own wing, his own spotlight, his own shrine, and probably his own theme music (almost definitely Led Zeppelin, because obviously he has taste). I'm not sure what Hank's official role is at West Atlantic Pharmacy, but I'm convinced his real titles are Chief Happiness Officer, Director of Human Kindness, and Phone-Answering Wizard Extraordinaire. The man picks up the phone with such warmth and friendliness that I'm pretty sure your blood pressure drops just from hearing his voice. He is that good. Every time I walk in, Hank is right there--sweet, kind, funny, and somehow both incredibly professional and effortlessly entertaining. When he hands me my prescription, it feels like he's presenting the Crown Jewels of England, but with better customer service. He has this magical ability to turn a simple pharmacy run into a VIP event. And the best part? Hank loves Led Zeppelin. Anyone who can discuss medication while also having the music taste of a literal rock god is someone I will forever trust with my medical needs and possibly my life. West Atlantic Pharmacy is beyond lucky to have him. Actually, the whole planet is lucky to have him. If pharmacies handed out Oscars, Grammys, Nobel Prizes, or Super Bowl rings, Hank would win every single one and still stay humble. If you want kindness, humor, good energy, and service that makes you forget you're even picking up medicine, Hank is your guy. Ten out of ten. Five stars. A billion points. Hank for President. Hank for everything. FYI: This is 100% authentic. No one coerced me, bribed me, hypnotized me, or paid me to write this review. This was all done of my own free will--because Hank is just that incredible.

I've been trying to fill my prescription here for over a month. Each time I follow up, I'm told to…read more"check back next week," but there's never any real update or progress. There seems to be an issue here of lack of transparency. If the medication isn't available or unlikely to be in stock, patients should be told that clearly so they can make other arrangements...not kept in a weekly loop without resolution. In one call I was told they have a list of regular patients waiting for their meds to be filled. Hearing this and adding the rest of my experience with this pharmacy made it feel like my I was no priority and that maybe this would be an ongoing issue. At a certain point, repeatedly stringing patients along without a realistic expectation of filling their prescriptions raises concerns about whether patients are being given accurate information to access their medication in a timely way. Strongly recommend trying elsewhere.

What a incredible first impression! Thank you Rich & John for being so kind, helpful, professional…read moreand supportive! Because of my past horrific experiences with Walgreens ( who I frequented for the last 6 years) I was scared to go to a new pharmacy where no one knew me. I was anxious when I walked in the door but as soon as I got to the counter I was greeted kindly & immediately felt relieved. Rich saw me as a human being who needed help. In all my 6 years of living in Florida my old pharmacist NEVER EVER made me feel that way and that is just plain sad. Unfortunately I have several medical issues and dealing with them and covid is hard enough, then I'd have to deal with pharmacists who had no people skills, unprofessional, and hardly ever had my medications in stock and caused me grief every time I went there. Now that Tamarack Pharmacy are my new pharmacists its a huge relief that I don't have to get agitated whenever I need to get a prescription filled. I am more than happy to give & transfer all of my business to Tamarack Pharmacy (and that is a lot of business)! Special thanks to John & Rich for giving me peace of mind and hope in the human race again. Thank you for making me feel like I matter! You have a loyal customer for life! I will tell everyone I know to go to you guys. I don't write many reviews but you deserve way more than 5 stars! I want everyone to know that once they come to you they will never be let down & that your pharmacy is what they are looking for and will never have to go to another pharmacy especially one that treats you like you are beneath them and with zero respect. May God Bless you all & may you prosper abundantly in your profession and in your personal lives, you deserve it!!! I am so grateful Dr. Vilasuso recommended your pharmacy. I wish I had known to ask him sooner. But at least I know now & thats what counts!

I recently discovered that you are providing New Leaf Wellness in North Liberty Iowa compounded…read moreTirzepatide. I'm rather confused as :- The FDA has restricted the sale of compounded versions of semaglutide and tirzepatide, citing safety concerns and the availability of FDA-approved alternatives. Compounding Pharmacies: Some pharmacies, particularly larger 503B outsourcing pharmacies, had until May 22, 2025, to stop making compounded semaglutide. Safety Concerns: Compounded drugs are not subject to the same rigorous testing and oversight as FDA-approved medications, potentially leading to inconsistent dosing, unsafe ingredients, or even counterfeit versions. "Personalized" Formulations: Some providers are attempting to circumvent the FDA restrictions by offering "personalized" versions of the drugs, like different dosages or combinations with other ingredients (e.g., B vitamins), but these are still not FDA-approved. Legal Issues: The legality of these "personalized" formulations is also in question, as compounding was intended for specific patient needs, not mass sales. Transition to Approved Drugs: Patients relying on compounded GLP-1s should consult with their healthcare providers to transition to FDA-approved medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound, or explore other FDA-approved weight loss treatments. Why then are you still producing this for the general public ?

The Pharmacist on duty refused to speak with me in regards to Pricing and questions regarding the formula used for the compound . I had an inquiry on the wetting agent . Really poor business model .

Your loss Delray Pharmacy bc I was going to transfer my scripts (10+ monthly ) plus compound and transfer my parents over . Delray pharmacy could have had an increase in scripts by at least 30 monthly . Thousands of dollars could have been added to your monthly take .
