Report
I've been to this pharmacy twice, once to purchase an ankle brace and once to use the Medview clinic. Both times I found the staff to be knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. I was concerned about talking to a doctor online rather than in person but the nurse at the clinic made the process easy and comfortable. We were in and out in less than 30 minutes.
