Mom and Pop drug store- not a chain. C/S exceptional. All employees know their stuff! Pharmacist is open to any and all questions. They carry much more than your prescriptions-plenty to shop through while you wait. I have never had more than a 20 minute wait-usully not that long. Parking is limited but not impossible.

Called to transfer a prescription. They got back to me within a few minutes didn't have to wait days like other pharmacies. And were very informative. I appreciate the time they took to help me.

I spoke with someone, a female, at this pharmacy. I have never heard someone ever be so rude to me! This is unacceptable! I was trying to help a resident get his medications. She needs to learn how to talk with people. In addition she should ask if there is anything else I can help you with? Before hanging up. I would give a one star but I run a business too and appreciate knowing when someone is out of line!

Came here to get the vaccine. I was a little nervous, but everyone was patient, kind, and knowledgeable. The pharmacist helped talk through my concerns and made my questions feel important. I so appreciated that extra 5 minutes. Thank you, Garden Drug!

The best place to be vaccinated in our area of northeast Broward. Plus, it has a fantastic pharmacist who does more than count medication to fill a prescriptionanswers questions, talks with your doctor, etc. Plus the staff is wonderful for follow up. I would have missed my second shot if it wasn't for them.
