Sheila and Darren have been so helpful today with important information and services related to the care of a family member. At such a challenging time, their patience and responses to my questions are so needed. Thank you so much.

This store for me was the go-to for my prescriptions as I never visited nor researched others around me. The staff are exceptional and never let me down, however now knowing how much of a rip-off this company is in prescription pricing shocks and disgusts me. For a months supply of my prescription, I was paying around $250 / month, and at the time I was devastated as that amount of money for me was in no way affordable and caused a lot of anxiety (I thought that was the cost of the pills themselves so I just went with it). Recently learning that every companies pharmacy can charge for prescriptions
