Quite possibly the nicest and most generous local business I have been to in all my years living in NJ. The store is lovely, good parking, easy to navigate, well stocked, clean, and has everything you need including orthopedic equipment. The pharmacy is outstanding, and this is due to their incredible staff, who are not only knowledgeable but incredibly generous and kind, particularly Hassan. I will be a very regular customer and recommend them highly.

Good pharmacy but very unreliable when it comes to mailing. I've been using Liberty for over a year and the majority of my prescription refills, which are supposed to be mailed, weren't sent out until I followed up. Staff have informed me that my account has a note to always mail and, when calling in a refill, I use the option to attach a voicemail, reminding them to mail it. Still, it's not sent out until I call a week or so later to chase it down.

This is a very strange business. Hard to reach. When you do speak to someone, they act very bothered. So yes, most insurance doesnt cover their products and you have to wonder why. Perhaps its a part-time business and they dont operate most days anymore.

This family owned business in Chatham is price gouging and charged a physician's wife $20 per mask so her husband can go to the hospital and save lives. They should be donating masks like so many other business in the area are doing. This is disgraceful and I will never set foot in this store again.

Pharmacy: 5/5
Customer Service: 1/5
Usually very friendly and helpful. As of late, the male who answered the phone is rude and abrupt. He makes you feel as though you are bothering him if you have questions about obtaining your medications, and was only willing to spend 15 precious seconds on the phone with me before hanging up as I was mid-sentence, asking a second question to clarify payment. Hope service isn't always this poor. Disappointing.
