They went above and beyond to help people right after Hurricane Ida even even though they have no power.

Got my Co-vid 19 shot last Thursday the day they administer the Pfizer vaccine. A nice small pharmacy owned operated by husband and wife since 1958. Covers all bases of medicines and vaccinations except pets. Decent amount of in store creams and lotions on the shelf. Order counter for bigger items from insurance company, like walkers, shower chairs and wheel chairs. Staff very courteous and friendly.

Patio Drugs is unprofessional to the point of being almost fraudulent in their business practices. My husband needed to fill a compound prescription and his physician directed us here to obtain it. At the time of purchase, we provided the clerk with our insurance card, only to be told that "this type of medication is never covered" by insurance. The truth, which we only found out after paying full retail price, is that Patio Drugs is simply not registered as a compounding pharmacy in our plan, and thus they are considered out-of-network for us. Our insurance company informed Patio Drugs of this

They compounded a drug completely incorrectly. If I had not noticed I could have overdosed and died. Will never use again.
