Dr. Kate was so helpful and and really cares about each and every customer. I needed a medication within 72 hours or else I would have had to go to the ER to receive this medication. In trying to save a trip to the ER and an expensive bill, I called all local pharmacies and nobody was able to help me or was even friendly, except for Dr. Kate. She was truly a lifesaver and I appreciate her for going the extra mile for me. I will definitely be back for all future needs. Her staff was very friendly and knowledgeable as well.
