I recently moved to Sarnia and decided to try a local pharmacy, and they did not disappoint! I went in for the first time and everyone was so friendly and helpful, my prescription was also finished fast. The pharmacist was very helpful with instructions and after care. I would highly recommend using Northgate Pharmacy!

Northgate Pharmacy is the best in town. Their staff is friendly and helpful. The Pharmacists are awesome and do not sell you anything you don't actually need, just for the sale. They educate you and take time to explain what effect and how a drug works. They are a "Keeper".
