Love this place. They give the kind of personalized service we always used to get in the US, but which is so rare these days. After the first time I went in there, I was recognized and called by name. They are informed, pleasant and efficient. I am so happy I found this place rather than going to yet another chain. And, their prices are no more than any chain, so you are not being charged for the kindness and service. Very happy with CareLink Pharmacy and highly recommend.

Really nice little pharmacy. Clean and modern. Not many people in at once so feels safe. Grateful they could get me in for a booster when everywhere is booked.

Very efficient with personalized service. Local, easy parking, very different experience than the large pharmacies. Noticed the addressed customers by name as they came through the door.

I was trying to fill a prescription for my dog, the vet had advised me it might be hard to fill. After calling every pharmacy in town and the surrounding area I was about to give up and tried CareLink, I am so pleased I did. Their customer service was exceptional and I could not have been more pleased. Skip the big chains and try this place, you will be glad you did.
