One of the worst experiences of my life. Save your money and take your business elsewhere, quick! The owner of this pharmacy was rude, disrespectful and very unprofessional; he lacks customer service skills and he thought he could get away with talking down to me just because I wanted to make a return that he could not accept, which I would have understood if he hadnt been so nasty about it .. My problem with him is that he spoke to me as if I was nobody, but luckily he has ONE employee with a good heart who was there and witnessed the entire thing. This employee offered to help me and was

The owner of this pharmacy was extremely unprofessional, rude and disrespectful to me and my mother. When I told him he was being rude/mean/short with me, he continued to act in that manner, but with an evil smile on his face. . He lacks customer service skills. Thankfully there is ONE employee there who was helpful, polite and compassionate towards our needs after seeing that we were being treated badly by this mean old man, but Unfortunately, I will never give this place my business ever again.

Wayne's Pharmacy is excellent. The pharmacists are very knowledgeable and always willing to help. They also deliver. I use them to compound a medication that nobody else could do. They make it up specifically for me. I was getting from another Pharmacy until they went out of business. I thought I was getting a good price but I was treated poorly. My insurance didn't cover it and it is very, very expensive. When I found Wayne's, he charged me 25% less and continues after almost 10 years to be fantastic. Just be advised that he doesn't accept insurance and I understand why. In order for him to give

Price gouging at its finest during this time of need!! My wife went in to get a splint for her wrist. We needed to get some items for home and say that they were selling paper towels.
$51 for a 12 pack of Scott paper towels. How do you sleep at night?

I couldn't be happier with Wayne's Pharmacy. I've been using this pharmacy for many years and I've never been disappointed. Unlike most pharmacies today, Wayne's does not accept insurance. That certainly can be difficult for most people to deal with. I am not wealthy and I don't use Wayne's Pharmacy for all my medicine. Unfortunately for me, my insurance doesn't cover some of my medicine. I have a severe chronic pain condition and need very strong pain medicine. It is very expensive and needs to be made specially for me. Wayne has always made sure
