I will give 3 stars for their friendliness but their prices are inconsistent and outrageous!! Will not be returning here. 60 pills was 75.00 last month I could've paid 21.00 at cvs & now this month they charged 5 more dollars for the same thing. They don't take any prescription discount cards either. Also it's always so hot in there and she talks so much it makes wait times longer. Sorry to say I won't be returning!
