I went to Create Pharmacy to get a pre travel Covid test. Everyone there, especially Sarah Perez were exceptionally helpful, and cheery. The nurse who did my swab made it the most pleasant Covid test I have had so far. Lots of good humor and super efficient. The shop was super clean and well organized. I highly recommend this pharmacy.

I did not come in for a service, but some cardboard. I wanted to make a fireplace for my kiddo so santa could come. They were so helpful and friendly! They were clearly busy in there, as the store was spotless and bustling, but they took the time to make a small christmas request. Thank you for supplying the best medicine this season, some holiday cheer!

I highly recommend this Pharmacy. I switched to this pharmacy after a negative experience with one of their competitors. The suspension for my sons Acid Reflux Disease was completed in approximately 5 minutes, with no advance notice needed. All members of the staff I dealt with were professional and friendly. I will continue to use this pharmacist for all of my son's needs. Thank You
