I have never had a pharmacy who cares so much. Friendly, courteous, extremely knowledgeable and caring people. My husband told me Blanco Pharmacy is the oldest Pharmacy n Texas. That, alone, says a lot.

This is a lovely little pharmacy, but I was shocked that only one out of four pharmacists was wearing a mask, and even then only part-time. They were even joking about having sick relatives being tested, about their personal symptoms, but that they were going to call it allergies. It seems dangerous as a pharmacy as well as a terrible example to the community.The six foot rule is not enough to protect people in an indoor facility. The CDC calls for "pharmacists and pharmacy technicians should always wear a facemask while they are in the pharmacy."

I have been visiting this pharmacy since becoming a part of this community. The staff is courteous, professional, and prompt. I have never seen any employee of this pharmacy without a mask, and Ive never heard anyone making flippant comments about health matters. This is the exact establishment it needs to be for those of us living in the country who would rather not drive 45 minutes to the nearest chain pharmacy. Much gratitude to Siobhan, Jacob and the entire staff for taking such good care of Blanco.
