A charming pharmacy with a small- town vibe you don't get in the big chain pharmacies. Very friendly & understanding staff toward the ELDERLY & the Disabled; Elderly-Friendly should be a Google rating category! I'm only 54, but disabled; my partner is 82 & says that he does NOT get that automatic impatience that too many chain pharmacies show toward the aged. Instead, this adorable pharmacy gives off a very gentle, welcoming vibe toward our elders. And the store often sells charming hand-crafted goods not available elsewhere, of good quality for a small price. I've bought keychains & bracelets

I have done all my pharmacy business here for 45 years. Same day service on meds is not an issue here. They also are one of the last compounding pharmacies left. Christine and Jack are the nicest people out there along with wonderful staff.
