Forgot my meds back in Alberta. I called the pharmacy and they took care of everything for me. I tried calling the other pharmacy in town but I kept being transferred to a voicemail at 10am. Highly recommend.

I've been a customer/client for several years. I've always been impressed with their professionalism and friendliness. They often go beyond to help you get what you need. They are also fast, reliable and affordable.

Twice a friend of mine, a black and Indigenous woman went to this store and was discriminated against. I don't know why this establishment can't have basic cultural competency, and awareness of whose land they're on. It's racist places that make people of colour feel out of place need to be called out. No more. Do not give your money to this place.

I love the friendly staff at Tofino Pharmasave. They are always ready to help and always greet us with a smile. Some may not understand protocols right now but those who care about stopping the spread of COPID-19 do. Thank you for being open while keeping us safe.

I’ve had two negative experiences at this location. If I have a negative experience with a clerk I usually ask their name so I can speak to a manager but I felt like leaving immediately both times. The first time, I believe was a misunderstanding. I walked in with a bag that my husband bought a week before I walked in there. Because I use it as a… treat bag for my dog, I never thought of taking off the tag. So I forgot my husband bought it from Pharmasave (Tofino) and was asked by the clerk if I’ve by chance forgot to pay for it before I left. I said, “No, I walked in with

I had a sick kid on vacation. The friendly pharmacist made sure I had the right medications, the right dosages, and knew where the hospital was just in case things got worse. Thanks!
