Just wanted to give a shout out to Phyllis! She helped me over the phone this morning with a little arrangement. From the time she answered the phone to getting some ideas for me and completing the transaction she was super friendly and professional!!

Wonderful locally-owned business, I highly recommend Annie, the Respiratory Therapist for any CPAP-related needs. She is extremely thorough and knowledgeable, and is not in a hurry when explaining the equipment and billing. If I could give 10 stars I would!

This is a very good place. All the people in the store are great and very kind. My husband has been going here for about 8 months now and it's been nothing but great. They always make you feel welcomed when you walk in the door. This is the first pharmacy that has ever called to send birthday wishes. I just want to say thank you to everyone here for always making us feel welcomed.

I would like to sincerely thank the folks at Johnson Drug Company for all the help with my elderly parents. I especially would like to give a big shout out to Beverly for all the time that she gives me on the phone answering my questions. :-)

WORST experience of my life! I came in to get a prescription filled on October 23rd around 10am or so, my insurance needed a prior approval so I paid for it 123 and change, they informed me the prior approval date needed to be for the date of paying for it which would be October 23, so my drs office did so, it was all fixed a week or so afterwards, my boyfriends parents paid with their debit card so the pharmacy said I could get it the 15th or 30th of November so I said the 15th, I checked a few days before the 15th to see how it was, and they stated, "we are waiting on the owner (male),

Best pharmacy/drug store ive ever been to. Has the cutest knick knacks for sale and the prices are unbeatable unlike other pharmacies that jack their prices up. They even have monograms available. Plus their staff has the greatest customer service ive ever experienced. I use to dread going to the pharmacy, now I'm excited lol

Very nice pharmacy. The employee's are very helpful and nice here. They have all kinds of products for sale here as well, including a beautiful gift shop area. They have greeting cards, Yankee candles and all kinds of stuff. They also have medical equipment. I needed a boot that was prescribed by my doctor for an injured foot and Tracy helped me out so much and was very nice. They make you feel welcome here.
