A true independent neighborhood pharmacy that makes you feel like youre their only customer. You will never get service like this at a chain pharmacy! Every person there from head pharmacist down to newest employee will take the time to stop their world and come talk to you if you have an issue. What FP did for not even the neighborhood but the city for vaccinations was above & beyond what any other city did. Local pharmacy cant order your med anymore? FP can! Wanna buy a lotto ticket AND drop off/pick up your UPS box at the same time? There you go!! OH!!! And they do safe person to person

This establishment is not honest. They said a product was first come first serve and so I took a cab to be there ASAP and when I arrived I was told the product was sold out and then I watched another man who came in after me walk out with the product I had just been told was sold out. Dishonest pharmacists.

Quick and friendly. I am fairly new to the area and was looking for a pharmacy that was covered by my insurance. Decided to go here and I now plan to get all my prescriptions sent here. They made the new patient process quick and easy. I decided to wait for my prescriptions to be filled and it took no more than 10 minutes. On top of great customer service, you get to support a local business. Win-win for me!

Years ago I was paying $110 monthly at CVS for a prescription that I later got at Fairmount Pharmacy for $9.00. Later I had the same savings experience with a different med. If you are in the Fairmount/Spring Garden area, this is the place to go. Staff is knowledgeable and helpful.
