That other pharmacy needed 3 hours to fill my prescription. Preferred Pharmacy only took 20 minutes and cost way less! The staff was friendly, pleasant and professional. I will definitely be using this local business for all my prescription needs.

This pharmacy is wonderful. I have prescription coverage and they still saved me hundreds of dollars on my prescriptions. They are a little far from my home, but well worth the ride!

The entire staff at this pharmacy are just great. They are very attentive to all your needs and will do just about anything to help you feel better. I would not even think about going to any other pharmacy here. They do not have the long lines and believe it or not will answer all your questions about the medication you are taking. If you want great service, price, and just fine people this is the place.
