A little concerned . I went there on 12/2 to get my booster shot (covid 19) and everything was fine; nice people. I actually feel bad writing this review, because they were nice, but I think I should.
Today, I was called and told that there were issues with my insurance, and I needed to bring in new cards or schedule some kind of payment. Because the cards I provided were rejected . I was told cash arrangement. I am not sure what that meant. Ill leave it at that. Hopefully I misunderstood that, I hope! These vaccines are free. No questions asked, what does payment mean? And my insurance

Absolutely THE best local pharmacy! They make time for my questions and always treat me like a friend. I drive all the way from Brookfield because the service is so superior to chain stores plus it is always nice to support an independent local business. Cute gifts to shop for should you have to wait, too!

Best pharmacy ever! Been going for years. Caring staff and pharmacists who know me by name, not my prescription numbers. Great gifts, makeup selection, pretty much whatever you need at a drugstore and more. Local products, too. Thank you Candlewood Drugs!

I switched to CD early on because I was tired of the impersonal Stop N Shop pharmacists and like to support local merchants. It's refreshing to go into a local establishment and have them welcome you by name. They go out of their way to immediately follow-up with Dr.s and insurance companies for clarifications and I see them really go to bat for the customer. And you can't beat the parking.
