Could not of asked for better customer service. Raphael and the associates were incredibly kind and helpful. Walgreens has been the worst for myself, family members and friends lately. I will never use Walgreens ever again. Apothicare will now be our family pharmacy. Highly recommend!

This pharmacy definitely goes above and beyond, there is no comparison to the big name chain pharmacies. They answer promptly, sometimes even the pharmacist answers the phone which is unheard of at many pharmacies. The staff is always very kind, they offer free delivery, and make prescription transfers a breeze. I will forever be a client to such a wonderful business!
